It’s SWOON Thursday, hosted by the awesome authors over at YA bound. Here’s how it works:
From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog. We want to know!
This week, I’m SWOONING over:
A Shade of Vampire (Book 1) by Bella Forrest
“I know an excuse when I hear one. Don’t you dare deceive yourself into believing that you’re the victim, Derek Novak.”
I could hear a soft gasp escape his lips the moment I said the words. I sighed with relief when his arm’s grip around my waist loosened. His lips remained pressed on any part of my skin it could brush against as he eased me down so I could stand on my feet again. I felt small and fragile standing so close to him. The moment my feet hit the ground, my knees buckled and to my horror, I found myself leaning on him for support. He slipped his arm around me and propped me up.
Okay – typically, I don’t fall in love with vampires. I’m just not into the cold skin, and blood feeding thing is kind of a turn off. I mean really, the thought of kissing a vamp after they sucked on someone else’s blood. Gross! So when I say Derek Novak (a vampire) is not only swoon worthy but would totally be at the top of my Best Book Boyfriends list, it’s definitely saying something. 🙂
SO NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! On your blog and/or on Twitter, tell us what’s got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.
Be sure to attach your link to YA Bound and shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound.
