We're back, and what better way to kick off 2013 then with some especially steamy swoons?? I think we'll all agree that the moments shared below fit the bill. And if by some crazy notion these scenes don't have you drooling, be sure to check out the comments where our lovely readers share their favorite swoony scenes, too! :)

RACHEL:  Swooning over Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover...Will is so swoon-worthy I couldn't pick just one.

First, Sweet:

Sometimes, when I watch her, it seems surreal that she's mine. That she really loves me back. She blows a strand of hair out of her face, then tucks her hair behind her ears and positions herself against the pillow. I slide on top of her and slip my hand behind her neck, gently pulling her lips to mine.

And now, Spicy:

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.

KELLY: Swooning over The Watcher by Lisa Voisin

My thighs straddled his hips and he let out the softest of moans, his lips grazing my throat, the side of my neck, the line of my jaw, before returning to mine.

TARA: Swooning over Hopeless by Colleen Hoover:

He never looks away and he keeps his eyes locked on mine, even when he dips his head to plant kisses around the edges of my lips. The way he looks at me makes me feel...I try to search for an adjective to follow up that thought, but I  can't find one. He just makes me feel. 

TRISH: Swooning over Unwrap Me by Carolina Jordan and Samantha Spencer

With a groan, she gripped the back of his neck and pulled his head up until they were face-to-face. Brody sucked her lip between his teeth before claiming her mouth and thrusting upward with his hips in purposeful rhythm. 

NEREYDA: Swooning over Bad Rep by A. Meredith Walters

His tongue darted passed my lips and I could feel the cool metal of his barbell slide against my teeth. Without a moment's hesitation, I twined my arms around his neck and Jordan lifted me up and put me down on the sink. 

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