First Kisses
I love to read romance novels as well as write them.
I love to sit in a quiet place and get enrapt in a beautiful relationship as it
unfolds. Chemistry between the hero and heroine is paramount, and the way the
sexual build up occurs speaks to the entire trajectory of the novel. It all
starts with that all important first kiss. Will it be slow and tentative, or
impulsive and raw? Well, I guess it all depends on the type of novel you’re
reading and the personality of the characters. But for me it’s a defining
moment. A moment when I say to myself, wow, these two belong together or
well…maybe not. Because even if your characters start out hating each other,
there has to be passion. Even if the kiss is impulsive and done in a moment of
spontaneous emotion, it still has to be electric. Sometimes the body knows more
than the mind what it likes.
In my books, the first kiss is an extension of my
characters’ emotions. It’s usually a moment that’s long remembered and may come
up again during the novel. This is usually where I define all the feelings that
go into that moment—the racing heart, the sensuous tingles, the heated breaths,
the arousal! I think the reader should be a part of that moment too. After that
first kiss, the reader should have an idea of how intimacy will evolve between
the hero and heroine and be looking forward seeing more.
Praise for Lisa Eugene's Washington Memorial Hospital series
“Suspense filled, evocative and
heart pounding.” - Book Addict Mumma
“Lisa Eugene is one of my top 10 authors. She writes some wicked good mystery-suspense-erotica that I LOVE! Gah it's so good! and now that it's over I want more more more! This is the third book in the Washington Memorial Series (it's a stand alone so no cliffy) and it just keeps getting better and better every time!” - Taryn Lee’s Book Blog
“Written with knowledge of the medical profession, this love/lust story grabs your attention with its ‘who done it tale’. The heroine in the book is an intelligent woman who finds herself entangled in more than she bargained for. I like to compare the book to a 50 shades meets Sydney Sheldon.” - Annie, Amazon reviewer

forbidden romance, and there’s unlikely romance. Gabe Masters is everything that Maggie

uncontrollable passion and unexpected romance between two people who at first
glance, are least likely to fall in…love?
STRICTLY BUSINESS
Conservative
meets sexy in STRICTLY BUSINESS–which is anything but. Lisa Eugene delivers
undeniable chemistry and hotter romance than asked for in the first book in the
Winthrop Memorial series. Rest assured, STRICTLY BUSINESS will leave readers
breathless.
About Lisa Eugene:
Lisa Eugene began writing as a way to mentally escape from
the hectic medical world where she has been a practicing nurse for over twenty
years. After publishing her first novel, STRICTLY BUSINESS, she quickly learned
that readers couldn't get enough of the world she created and now she lives out
her wildest fantasies by writing steamy romantic suspense for her fan-favorite Washington Memorial Hospital series.
When she's not plotting her next dangerous, fast-paced, sexy
adventure, you can find her juggling a full time job, playing soccer mom, or
curled up reading a good romance. Lisa loves hearing from fans; be sure to
