4.0 out of 5 stars
a playful little book for the diva in all of us, February 1, 2010
I'm not real big on self-help books. Not that there aren't portions of me that don't need improving - there are lots of those; more than I care to dwell on, to be frank - but when I pick up a book, I'm usually looking to be entertained a bit. And reading about how to fix what's wrong with me is not exactly my idea of a good time. But when I saw Violet Blue's Seal It with a Kiss: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Delivering the Knockout Kiss, I knew that I'd found the exception to my rule. Truly, how can you get any more fun than a book on kissing? Here's a little book that sure to appeal to the diva in all of us. After reading this delightful little book, you'll want to grab your significant other and do a little practicing of your own. Because practice does make perfect, you know.
Seal It with a Kiss is playful, fun, informative and entertaining at the same time. This book offers dos and don'ts, exercises and enlightenment, and instructions on lead up and follow-through of a huge variety of kisses. What kind of kisser are you? What do you do when he's a kissing dud - is he worth rehabilitating, or should you just toss him back into the sea with the other fishes? Ms. Blue answers these questions and explains how to perfect your pucker as well as proper care for your oh-so-smoochable lips. She offers advice on how to avoid stubble burn (yowch) if your guy's the bristly sort, how to tailor your kissing technique to the personality of your quarry, and how to first capture his interest and then reel him in with your fabulous kissing skills.
Ms. Blue writes with a friendly, almost confiding tone, as if to say "listen up, girlfriend, and I'll show you how it's done right." And while she comes across as an authority of the subject, she never talks down to her audience. The tone is not "oh you poor loser, let me help you get it right," it is "girl, get your bad self and killer kisses out there and knock `em dead!"
I found myself grinning constantly as I read this book. In addition, as well as it being a source for humorous and engaging advice, I believe this title could prove to be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of romance authors. It might help those who wish to add a little additional fun and realism to those fictional smooches.
Until I read Seal It with a Kiss, I never thought much about kissing technique. Just pucker up, baby, and go for it, I thought. But now I find myself eager to experiment on my unsuspecting husband. And I wonder...should I sneak up on him with a Mack Attack? Charm him with Angel Kisses? Become the ultimate Snuggle Bunny? Is this going to scare the hell out of him after so many years of marriage? Probably so! But I'm starting to think that perhaps under this forty-something, frequently overworked and tired exterior there may lie a maven of mack waiting to emerge. Poor man will never know what hit him.

little more than a prepubescent primer, January 30, 2010
This book seems to be targeted at prepubescent girls. Both the lack of substance and the amount of useless fluff makes this worth very little. Grown-ups with virtually any degree of experience should avoid the vacuum which is this book. An infinitely better work on the subject is The Art of Kissing, (2nd Revised Edition) [...]
