Is this a good page for a romantic novel?

It is a basic page that portrays a typical romantic moment. It could be written better but it suits its purpose. Odd wording is the biggest problem for the writer. Her 'petite head into his arms' is an odd picture. Where exactly is her head landing in his arms and how small is her head. Since her body is 'petite' then her head now appears to be 'itty bitty'. 'Droning eyes' doesn't really translate well either. Droning is defined in websters dull and monotonous. Someone mention the 'Aunt Silvia' comment taking you out of the scene. Yes if romantic is your goal that does seem superfluous. I'm also trying to understand why this kiss is the end all to be all because a mouth that smelled 'cold like a winter's night' is fresh and all that but still not as good as 'warm and spicy' or 'welcoming' even 'comforting' 'soft y' 'sensual and enticing where she could lose herself just in the feel of them pressed against her lips as they sent shivers down her spine'. Again that sentence is typical in romance novels but it at least makes sense.
