That Scene Where He Takes His Shirt Off (Sorta)

This week on Kissing Books Critique, the spotlight turns to Jenna’s upcoming romance Unleashed—and things heat up fast (literally). Heather and Vicki dive into a rain-soaked, tension-filled chapter where sparks fly and shirts come off. We critique everything from setting clarity and physical grounding to repeated metaphors and emotionally immersive POV. Along the way, we unpack how to handle romantic tension, first-draft indulgences, and the fine line between repetition and resonance. Plus, we debate whether five mentions of citrus spice are too many (spoiler: they are). Come for the critique, stay for the laughter, and leave with tools to level up your writing.
