Swoon Thursday (#45): The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine

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 The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine!


Without thinking, I brought my mouth down to hers and swallowed up whatever else she was going to say. She was stiff with surprise at first, but then her lips softened under mine, parting, kissing me back. My hand found her face, my thumb caressing her cheek. Her tongue was warm and tasted like chocolate. It wasn't my sexiest effort, but it felt right for the moment.


Read my review HERE.


Okay, so I didn't love this one. But it had some decent swoons! And many bloggers I know enjoyed this one. And it was either this one, a historical romance, or Bitter Sweet Love. And we know how popular Bitter Sweet Love is! :D

  2. Bummer this one didn't work out for you! I read your review and now I'm really hesitant to start it since I wasn't a huge fan of Infinite Moment either! But that was still a good swoon!

  3. I would have been ok with a Bitter Sweet Love quote ;) This was one is cute, though, and I like it's the guy's POV

  6. Sorry the story itself wasn't brilliant, but I like how he says her mouth tastes like chocolate. Though, I would prefer if the guy tasted like chocolate. LOL. :)
