This week's swoon is from the fantastically romantic When You Were Mine. You definitely want to check this one out!

When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle

He leans in slowly. So slowly it feels like we're in slow motion. And then his lips are on mine. They are so soft and warm, and it's not until he pulls back gently that I realize how much I've wanted him to kiss me. How it's really the only thing I've wanted.

--Pg. 150 of an ARC of "When You Were Mine" by Rebecca Serle

So this is a scene between Rob and Rosaline. Their romance is just so sweet and undeniable that I couldn't help but fall in love with them even though I knew they weren't going to end up together. I loved it!

Apparently it's been a while since I did one of these. I've got two swoons for you this week. 

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

The light was trickling down on her in two narrow slices, and as his hands moved to boost her he brought his face to her neck, almost as if he was bumping into her by accident, only he kissed the skin of her neck, just quickly.

--Pg 112 of an ARC of "Tiger Lily" by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Peter Pan is the "he" in that passage and the girl is Tiger Lily. This is one of the rare tender moments between them that was just too beautiful not to swoon over. I loved this book from top to bottom. This is most definitely one to swoon over!

Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf

We're barely moving, leaning into each other, breathing together, my forehead against his cheek, his had tracing little circles on my back. After a few minutes he pulls back and looks into my eyes, clears his throat, swallows, clears it again. "There's something I've been wanting to--" --he breathes in-- "something I've been meaning to tell you."

--Pg. 259 of an ARC of "Breaking Beautiful" by Jennifer Wolf Shaw

This book was exactly like I want all romances to be. It was slow and steady, something undeniable that built up and made your fingers and toes tingle. I loved the two characters in Breaking Beautiful. There were so many swoon worthy moments in this one!

My swoon comes from one of my favorite couples in YA literature. Beck and Riley are just begging to get together through out The Demon Trappers novels so I was so happy to finally see some action between these two! Check it out!

His hand shook where it touched her cheek. He's nervous. She was too. Trying to let him know it was all right, Riley put her hand over his. Closing her own eyes, she waited for their lips to touch.

--Pg. 245 of "Forgiven" by Jana Oliver

I finished this book and I have to say, these novels keep getting better. I can't wait to see where the final installment of this story goes!

I've finished this week's swoon and I have to say, I thought the relationship in The Butterfly Clues was really sweet. Hope you enjoy!

"...I was ready to board a bus, you know, 'go west, young man,' all that shit--but then, I remembered something I'd forgotten to tell you."
"What?"
He pauses. "That I don't want to leave you," he says, simply, lifting his eyes to my face. "That I can't leave you."

--Pg. 301 of an ARC of "The Butterfly Clues" by Kate Ellison

Like I said, these two were super cute. I hope you like my swoon and I want to hear yours!

This week, I've just finished Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler. I want to say some things about this novel and not give you guys the wrong idea but I don't want to spoil anything. Suffice to say, my Swoon is really sweet this week and I hope you enjoy!

Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler

Inside the bag, there's a square, gold box that's filled with rows and rows of heart-shaped Belgian chocolates, just the dark mocha one that I like, and not Billy's usual little box missing the pilfered truffles. This box is entirely full of perfect candies, perfect hearts, completely perfect. And on the gold-striped paper that lines the lid, he's written "You're the one".

--Pg. 249 of an ARC of "Where It Began" by Ann Redisch Stampler

Sweet right? What girl doesn't like receiving her favorite kind of chocolate. Perfect for Valentine's Day!

This week's swoon is coming from Incarnate by Jodi Meadows. I finished this novel a few nights ago and it definitely has a few swoon worthy moments. Really, these two characters just make you swoon! They are too sweet together!

It wasn't an easy, sweet kiss like I'd imagined my first would be, but  frustrated and hungry. That was good, better than easy and sweet, because after everything, I was frustrated and hungry for him too.

--Pg. 262 of an ARC of "Incarnate" by Jodi Meadows

Like I said, there are a million places my swoon could come from. If you haven't decided whether to pick this novel up, then just do it! You won't regret it.

This week's swoon is coming from Everneath. I'm only 70 pages in and I've already read like three swoons so I have a feeling I'll have another one from this novel next week! 

"We did it, Becks!" He spun me around.
"Congra--" I couldn't get anything else out, beacuse his lips were on mine. His mouth tasted faintly of salt. The eye black on his cheeks was no doubt smearing onto my face, but I didn't care. We had this moment together, and I knew it would be over too quickly.

--Pg. 22 of an ARC of "Everneath" by Brodi Ashton

How stinking cute is this? He lifts her up over a wall onto the football field to kiss her in front of everyone. I have to say, Jack is going to have to really screw up for me not to be head over heels for him. Sorry Cole. I'm really looking forward to finishing this book. 70 pages have gone by like nothing.

I've got two swoons this week! One is from a novel I just finished reading and the other is my current read. Twice the hotness is never a bad thing!

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. The soft warmth of his mouth sent a wave of fire through her. Perry froze, then his arms tightened around her ribs as he deepened their kiss. They molded together, fitted against one another with stunning perfection.

--Pg. 297 of an ARC "Under the Never Sky" by Veronica Rossi


I really, really liked this book and thought the romance was well done. There of plenty of kissing scenes to choose from here and lots of sweet stuff on top of that.

I didn't even hesitate, afraid she would stop me. I leaned down and kissed her, pressing my body to hers. She tasted so good, like strawberries and peppermint. Her arms went from up against the wall to around my neck, yanking me even closer. Fingers were in my hair, lips moving across my cheek, hearts pounding.  

--Pg. 141 of an ARC of "Tempest" by Julie Cross 


This is my current read. I really like that it's from a guy's perspective! Always makes it interesting.

It's that time of week to swoon all over again. This week, my swoon comes from a book I just finished and loved!

His hands clung to the back of my jacket, like I was a thing that might slip away if he paused to take a single breath. And he kissed me like he was looking for something, like there was a question he couldn't quite find the answer to.

--Pg 154-155 of an ARC of "Fracture" by Megan Miranda

Holy hot sauce Batman, is this book fulled with a great relationship! If you like your romance slow burning and super well developed then be prepared to be swept off your feet by Delaney and Decker!

I love them both to pieces!

This week's swoon comes from Jessica Rules the Dark Side and is more sweet than sexy but still totally swoon-worthy. 

Indeed, if so much as one hair on my wife's head is disturbed while I cannot protector her, this kingdom will see retribution that will go down in the history books--to be read by the very few who remain standing.

--Pg. 143 of "Jessica Rules the Dark Side" by Beth Fantaskey

As you can see, this is less sexy and more incredibly sweet Lucius' own way. He's always been prone to violence, something he struggles with since that is how he grew up, and his only instinct is to protect Jessica with every fiber of his being. Even though this is a threat, I think it's swoon-worthy because of it's passion and it shows how much he loves her.

This week I'm reading Switched by Amanda Hocking and boy do I have a toasty moment for you! Like always, this is a bit longer than 140 characters but I defy anyone to begrudge me this!

I wrapped my arms around him and pushed myself against him eagerly. He reached around me, opening the door, and we tumbled into my room.

--Pg. 285 of "Switched" by Amanda Hocking


These are so much fun to share! I even mark them with a pink post-it note page marker. I was worried this novel might not give me something good enough to share but then I got to that part and I knew I'd found the perfect passage!

This week, I've got one from Legacy by Molly Cochran. It's going to be much longer than 140 characters because this scene is smoking.

Together we sank to our knees in the sand, kissing each other wildly, hungrily. I buttoned his shirt revealing the smooth skin of his chest while he closed his eyes. I closed mine, too, sliding into the sand with his body on top of mine, our mouths red and tender.

--Pg. 222 of an ARC of "Legacy" by Molly Cochran 


So there is my sexy scene this week. If you can believe it, this actually gets hotter. I hope you enjoyed and I'd love to read your Swoon this week!
