Last week was crazy busy with work, so I missed joining this meme. This week, though, I made sure to mark a few pages in the book I'm reading so I'd be ready. My swoon is from Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins, and below is a snippet of my favorite heart fluttering moment so far:

With an expert movement, his stealthy hands went up the back of my shirt, past the uncomfortable bra clasp that dug into my skin, fingers tracing my shoulder blades. The tense muscles spasmed weakly, then turned to Jell-O under his touch. His hands were now on my shoulders, my shirt stretching. One of his hands came out to move my ponytail of hair to the side. And then there was the very best feeling so far: his lips on the back of my neck.

I'm about halfway through this book, but I'm looking forward to finding more swoon worthy moments with Kaidan and Anna.

I had been reading a middle grade novel, catching up on a series I'm way behind on. And while I started two new YA books, neither has gotten to a swoon worthy scene, so I went to my bookshelf and chose a scene from Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles.

"Just for tonight, let's see what happens."

"And tomorrow?"

Tomorrow? "I haven't thought that far ahead. I just wanted to make out with you right now. You game?"

"That depends.”

"On what?" I ask.

He leans forward and kisses the sensitive spot right under my ear, then whispers, "If you want to stop at kissing, or go further."

What are you reading? Any swoon worthy scenes you'd like to share?

The book I'm reading right now doesn't have any swoon worthy moments, so I decided to share another one from Shift.

     His lips left mine again, but only to shift to the edge of my jaw. “Should’ve given you another chance,” he said, his breath coming hard, “talked to you again before I called her.” 

     “You gave me way too many changes. You should’ve just done this.”

      He murmured in agreement, moving his mouth to my neck right below my ear. His fingers threaded through my hair, tingling my scalp. I shivered in a full-on body quake.

How about the book your reading, any swoon worthy moments?

The book I finished last week didn’t have many swoon worthy scenes. I’ll admit I was a bit disappointed, because I’d heard so many people swoon over the male lead in that book. I’m happy to say that the book I’m currently reading has no shortage of hot, romantic scenes.

My swoon is from Shift, the second book in Jeri Smith-Ready’s Shade series.

The memory of the best part stole my speech as my gaze lingered on his lips. if I were his girlfriend, I could kiss him right now. Brush his mouth with mine and make him sigh my name, make our fingertips tingle in anticipation of being alone together.

I'd love to hear what got you swooning.

This week, my swoon worthy scene is from City of Bones, the first book in the TMI series.


     His voice was low. "I've never been more awake."


     He bent to kiss her, cupping her face with his free hand. Their lips touched, lightly at first, and then with a stronger pressure.




So what scene got your pulse racing?
