Swoon Thursday (57)

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!

And here are ours:

RACHEL:   Y'all, I'm so excited because I FINALLY got to read Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. I know, took me long enough, right? See my husband asked me to hold off for a couple months on the whole buying books thing because I have a slight--okay, large--obsession, and I totally made it through it thanks to the library, my collection of ARCs, and rereading old favorites. But dude, I requested Sweet Evil months ago...and as of last week, I still had six people in line before me. I couldn't take it any more. My impatience won out, my husband showed why he rocks so much, and I bought and inhaled this gem last weekend. And sigh... yeah, I love, love, loved it.

Here's one reason why...though if you haven't read it, it will make ZERO sense. But trust me, even with all the hot kisses--and this book has them--this is what I highlighted, bookmarked, and reread more than anything else *grin*

He picked up a green pear from his plate and bit into it, licking juice that dripped down his thumb. My cheeks warmed as I set down my glass.

And okay, just in case you are left scratching your head at that (he he), here's a kissy one:

We met halfway. His lips were as hot as his eyes, sending a shock wave through me. His tender mouth opened mine and I could sense the red of passion, like silk, circling us, pulling us closer. I was aware of a halfhearted battle within me, but I clambered nearer, pushing the notebook and papers to the floor. 

His lips broke away from mine and moved greedily down my neck. A moan escaped me at the feel of his hot breath on my skin, and it was all the encouragement he needed.....

TARA: Swooning over The Blood Keeper by: Tessa Gratton:

One of his hands lifted to my jaw, and his fingers caressed just under my ear. Neither of us moved otherwise for several shaking moments, until Will turned and kissed me. It was his lips on mine, unmoving, only resting together so that if we held still enough we'd melt into one.

NEREYDA: Swooning over Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover:

She wraps her legs tightly around my thighs, and we completely give in to our need for each other.  I grab the back of her head and press her mouth into mine even harder.  I can feel my pulse rushing through my entire body as we both begin to gasp for air between each kiss, as if we suddenly forgot how to breathe.  We're both desperate, doing our best to get past the moment when one of us usually calls retreat.  We pass that moment pretty quickly.

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

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.

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!
