I give you some pretty tempting scenes without ever having the H/H kiss.

Carrie calls herself a Yooper because she's originally from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, which has a culture all it's own. I'm a Troll, because even though I live in the UP (Upper Peninsula) now, I wasn't born here. I was born below the Mackinac Bridge, which connects the Upper Peninsula to the Lower Peninsula. And we all know what people who live under bridges are called. :-)<br /><br />And yes, I'm absolutely serious about Yoopers and Trolls. Just ask Carrie if you don't believe me.Naomi Rawlingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431203734855694561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-65605112825833753802012-04-03T11:21:26.213-04:002012-04-03T11:21:26.213-04:00Hey, JULIE!

OOH, JULIE, that is sooo frustrating in a book, but we ALL love it! They almost dive in for the kiss and wham!...something interferes. Builds up alot of good tension, but I recently read a book where no kiss ever took place. Too disappointing. Obviously that book was not written by Julie Lessman! lol! <br /><br />I know you will enjoy Naomi's book, JULIE!
