Swoon Thursday (34)

It's that time again! We created a HOT meme, and if you're new to the game, here's how to join in the fun:

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.

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 :-)

As you may have noticed, we have two new wonderful additions to our YA Bound family, which means you get 4 times the swoon!

Without further ado, here's ours:

RACHEL: So this past week I read the latest Addison More book in the Celestra series, which any fan will tell you is filled with swoony moments. The amount of options in one of her books is unreal. But there was one particular scene that has stayed with me, and gets major points for managing to not only be completely steamy, swoon-like, but also freaking hilarious to imagine (Not an easy thing to do *grin*):

I climb Gage like a pole, send him stumbling back until he can't go any further & we fall flat onto the dessert table--Expel SWOON #YABound

TARA: Swooning over AWAITED by: Lynn Rush

Twitter Version:

I swallowed her breath, daring her to open by brushing my tongue to her lip. 

Extended Bloggy Version:

I swallowed her breath, daring her to open by brushing my tongue to her lip. I inched closer to her, and her knees met my stomach. As much as I wanted to wiggle between them, hoist her up into my arms, and bring her to the bed, I stilled my movements.

Kelly: Swooning over PURE (and to see Rachel's Swoony pick from this book last week, click here):

Too good to cut down to a tweet:

The kiss was nothing like the first one we'd shared. It's rawness left us both breathless. There wasn't a moment of hesitation or indecision. There was just want and need and a thousand other powerful, crazy things. His lips scorched mine, his hands dropping to my shoulders, sliding down my arms. My skin burned under my sweater, but oh, this was so much more than just a kiss. It was the way he touched the deepest parts of me. My heart and soul would never be the same.--Pure SWOON #YABound

TRISH: "He leaned down then and kissed me, softly at first, then deeper, searching. I knew I should stop him, push him away, but I didn't have the strength. All I wanted was more of him, more of his warmth, his comfort." --WATERFALL SWOON #YABound


SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN: In 140 characters . . . or, perhaps a bit more if you need to cheat LOL, SWOON us!
