Swoon Thursday (49): Christmas in July

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 :-)

This week, we have some extra steamy scenes to match the heat outside, so grab those fans, ladies...you're gonna need them =)


RACHEL: My pick of the week is from MY LIFE NEXT DOOR by Huntley Fitzpatrick, which if you've read it (and if not, why haven't you??) you know is filled with swoon-errific scenes. Here's an especially hot one (way too good to cut down):

I slip one arm under him and pull, moving him on top of me, looking into those green eyes, which widen a fraction. Then he leans on his elbows and those careful, competent hands undo the front buttons of my nightgown.

Strangely, I'm not embarrassed at all. I'm impatient. When his lips descend, my sigh of pleasure feels like it is traveling through every inch of my body.

"Jase..."

(And let me just say, I cut this scene right before it gets really, really good *evil grin*)

TARA: Swooning over SWEET EVIL by Wendy Higgins

(Kai is just entirly too yummy to be contained to 140 characters. So we went a few over *grin*) 

"His mouth found mine in the dark, fiery and rough. I gave a tiny whimper before melting into him and pulling his face down to mine even harder." 

(Rachel note: I am dying to read this one, and Tara taunts me by saying: good Lord is this book full of swoons, lol. *fans self* <3.... See how she teases me, people? he he)


KELLY: Swooning over My Heart Be Damned by Chanelle Gray :

(Too good to cut)

His lips moved down to suck on my neck, and I bit down on my lip, rolling my head to the side. When he moved back to my mouth, it was as if I'd died and gone to heaven. Now that I'd kissed him once, I wanted to kiss him forever.

NEREYDA: Swooning over Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry:

(Honestly this book had so many good swoons it was hard to pick just one!)

Noah’s hands were everywhere, my hair, my face, my back, and for the love of all things holy, my breast.  My hands roamed his glorious body just as greedily.  After drugging me with delicious kisses for not nearly long enough, his warm lips skimmed my throat and kissed down the center of my breast, causing me to arch my back lose my ever loving mind.

TRISH: Swooning over ONCE by Anna Carey :

"...his whispered words barely audible. I love you, I love you, I love you. He kissed me again, his lips hard against mine as I clung to him. His hands were all over me, his body shifting on top of mine. Then the air went out of my lungs, and the world fell away."

EILEEN: Swooning over For Ever by CJ Valles:

"Wren?"

When I turn, Ever is standing only inches away from me. His proximity makes my blood rush, and I hate him for it. 

SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! On your blog (and leave us a link with Mr. Linky here or in the comments), and/or on Twitter... SWOON us! PS! Make sure to tweet with the #YABound hashtag so we can RT you!
