Swoon Thursday (#39): Fractured by Sarah Fine

Swoon Thursday is a hot meme hosted by the fabulous ladies at YA Bound!


- 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

- Try to make the swoon excerpt 140 characters (or less), if you are going to tweet about it. Use the hashtag #YABOUND when tweeting


This week, my swoon is from Fractured by Sarah Fine!


I took his face in my hands. "You win," I whispered, pulling him down, giving him the signal I hoped he'd been looking for.

Malachi stilled as my lips touched his, but only for a moment. Then, like a switch had been flipped, he crushed me to the ground and fisted a hand in my hair. His mouth on mine was merciless, tongue and teeth and total possession, like this had been building inside of him forever, and he'd just been waiting for permission to let it out. He kissed his way down my neck, nipping at my skin, drawing a choked moan from my throat and a low growl from his. It was a boulder rolling downhill. An avalanche. I could not control what I had unleashed... and wasn't sure I wanted to. 

- ARC, page 69


Check out my review HERE.


Mmmm, Malachi. You all DEFINITELY want to meet him sometime ;)

    Okay Alyssa, your swoon just made me want to read this book. I love how he pauses when she kissed him, as if he's stunned or can't believe it, and then how the kiss becomes so intense, and passionate! Great pick!!!
