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!
Since there wasn’t really any swoons in the book I was reading, I decided to post two swoons from the past. So this week, I’m SWOONING over:
Destiny’s Fire (Kythan Guardians #1) by Trisha Wolfe
I thought Reese was passionate when we were together at the falls, but this was different. He’d been holding back then, not allowing himself to act. Now, he wasn’t. The force and desperation with which he kissed me–the feel of his hands heating, gripping–was overwhelming. And my breath struggled to keep up with the emotion.
He anchored me to the wall with his body. Removing his hands from my legs, he brought my arms up and pinned them on either side of me as he buried his head into the crevice of my neck. His teeth elongated and softly grazed my skin. Fire ignited between my thighs, and I sucked air into my lungs.
I so wish I could share the rest of this scene, but just in case you haven’t read it, I don’t want to spoil what happens next! Now, my second swoon:
My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century (My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century #1) by Rachel Harris
Lorenzo pulls me closer, then looks at my mouth and bites his lip. My knees go weak, and all I want to do is grab the back of his head and kiss him until I can’t see straight–but I’m determined to have my vision play out. There will be plenty of time for that later.
This is only a small piece of my favorite scene. I know not much kissing, but totally swoon worthy!
Also, if you’re interested, I’m holding two different e-book giveaways featuring these authors. The first is Summer Reads Giveaway with Taste the Heat by Rachel Harris . The second is my first Daughter of Isis Cover Reveal Countdown Giveaway! featuring the Kythan Guardian series. So be sure to hop over and enter. 🙂
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.
OMGosh!! Two amazing swoons, too bad we only got a small piece of Rachels book… you have me intrigued!!
