This week, my swoon is from Walk the Edge by Katie McGarry!
I lift my head and draw his lower lip into mine. Within a heartbeat, Razor deepens the kiss, taking possession of my mouth. I lay back and begin to function on pure instinct. My hands seek the strong muscles of his back and shoulders and Razor's hands also deliciously roam.
His fingers discover the curve of my waist and they meticulously inch up my shirt. I'm in the middle of an inferno and I'm clinging to the flames. He shifts and parts of his body fit perfectly into me. I turn my head and hasp with the jolt of sweet electricity.
Razor continues the kisses. Along my cheek, down my neck, and I'm completely lost in the sensation. All of the sensations. The way his lips press on my skin.

I adored this book so much! Nowhere But Here wasn't all that great for me, but this book was much better and so, so swoony. I highly recommend it, YA contemporary fan or not!
I think my biggest take away from Nowhere but here was Eli. He is the reason I kept reading. One of my most anticipated books of this year, because Razor sounds like my kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteYou see a lot of Eli in this book! I adore Razor and hope you do too. :D
DeleteI'm quite intrigued with this one and that's one hell of a swoon indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI cut it off halfway through! Whoops. ;)
DeleteTalk about a kiss! What a great swoon.
ReplyDeleteMy Swoon
I agree!
DeleteI haven't started this series yet, but I've heard everywhere this is Katie's best, so I hope I can read it soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd THIS sounds great!
All of her books are so incredibly swoony, even among all the tough times she puts her characters through!
DeleteI don't know if I want to read another Katie McGarry book. Her Take Me On was so mehhh for me. This swoon is pretty sweet though ;)
ReplyDeleteTake Me On was definitely not her best, I agree. I didn't *love* that one or Nowhere But Here or Crash Into You.
DeleteCan I have more please... little sadistic teasing girl lol and yes I know you aren't sorry !!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's funny because I actually cut off the excerpt. ;D #sorrynotsorry
DeleteI just finished the first book last week, and it was an okay read. I liked it enough to want to read this one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like it too much, but like you, I wanted to continue with the series. Most of the issues I had with book one stayed with book one. :)
DeleteOhh amazing swoon excerpt Alyssa as always I always love your and look forward to your swoon excerpts they are completely hot and swoon worthy excerpts! Thank you for your awesome post my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHeh! I try to pick good ones for you all. =D Glad you're enjoying the feature, Katiria!
DeleteOMG! I am so jealous you are reading this already!! I want Razor's book so bad! Awesome swoon choice!!
