Swoon Thursday (56): Soul Shattering Kisses

 

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!

 

With school starting, deadlines looming, and general life nuttiness, only two of us have new swoons to share this week--but hopefully they are worth the trip =)

 

RACHEL:   I've been having a blast with blog tours for my own uncoming debut release, but in thinking of today's post, I picked up my favorite Jennifer Echols's book, Love Story, and reread particularly swoony chapters. Here's an especially nice one--out of context, it's hot. In context, it's just yummy.....

He moved his lips to my cheek, to my ear, back to my mouth. I had never been kissed like this in my life. Each time I thought I should protest because there were so many unsettled matters between us, Hunter kissed me harder, forcing those concerns out of my mind. The cold air heated up around us.

He unsnapped the top of my jacket and slipped his hand inside.... 

KELLY: Swooning over Minder by Kate Kaynak:

My breath quickened, and suddenly his lips were touching mine. My soul expanded with explosive intensity. My hands went around his neck, pulling him in. His arms tightened around me. My lips parted and his moved against them—tentatively, and then stronger.

Swoons so good, they deserve a repeat.......


TARA: Swooning over Witch Way To Turn by Karen Bynum:

He took her chin in his hand and tilted her face up. She had a moment to see his eyes,

bright with desire, then his mouth was on hers. Frantic. Hungry. As if he would devour her with his lips. As if he wanted to consume her.
 

 

EILEEN: Swooning over Crown of Embers by Rae Carson:

With a swift motion, he cups the back of my head and presses his warm lips to mine. The pit of my stomach drops away as I open my mouth to his

         He groans, wrapping his other arm around my waist, pulling me toward him until I am almost
         in his lap. I arch against him; my breath comes fast as he explores my mouth. Before, his 
         kisses were patient and sweet. But there is nothing of sweetness now, just heat and desperate
         need.


NEREYDA: Swooning over Lengths by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt:

But she’s loosening my tie, unbuttoning the buttons that go down my shirtfront, and pushing my jacket off my shoulders. Her small, soft hand slides in the gap in the shirt and runs over my chest. Her lips brush over my neck, along my jaw. She sucks in on my earlobe and lets her tongue trace around my ear, breaking my arms out in chills. I yank her back onto my lap and rub my hands between her shoulder blades, knocking the ribbon straps of her sundress down off her shoulders.

TRISH: Swooning over This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers :

He draws me out until I'm in the same nice moment with him and we move to the cot and I want to tell him I've never done this before, that he has been my first everything so far, when his hand slips between my legs and touches me in a way I have never been touched by anyone else before.

SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! On your blog (and be sure to leave us a link), and/or on Twitter... SWOON us!
