Behind the Scenes: How I Create Chemistry Between Characters

Ever wonder how sizzling chemistry between characters comes to life? It’s not just about the attraction—it’s about the connection. Here’s how I make my couples leap off the page:

1. Their First Interaction Sets the Tone

Whether it’s an awkward first meeting, a fiery argument, or a chance encounter, that initial spark hints at the fire to come. I aim for emotions that feel raw and real.

2. Dialogue is Everything

Banter, teasing, and heartfelt conversations bring characters to life. I want my readers to feel the electricity in every word.

3. Building the Slow Burn

Chemistry doesn’t happen instantly—it’s layered over time. I sprinkle in moments of tension, longing looks, and small gestures that speak louder than words.

4. Letting Them Be Themselves

The best chemistry comes when characters show their vulnerabilities. Whether they’re sharing a secret or comforting each other, these moments make the romance believable.

5. The Big Payoff

When the build-up finally breaks, it has to be worth the wait. I aim for explosive, heart-racing moments that leave both the characters—and the readers—breathless.
