This week, my swoon is from Gifted by H.A. Swain!
My whole body feels liquid and warm. Slowly a smile spreads over my face. I crawl toward him as he yammers on but I'm not really listening to his words, only to the sound of his voice, which is a melody I want to sing. I am overwhelmed by his kindness and his belief in me...[]... Its as if Aimery/Orpheus and I have tiny magnets in our bellies pulling us together. He stops talking, mid-sentence, something about confessing more. Then he blinks at me with eyes wide and uncertain as I loom up into his face. I find the notes. I sing his song and then press my lips against his and we both him, our voices in perfect harmony.
- ARC, page 237
I love this kiss! It's both metaphorical and literal, with the singing references. I spliced the scene just a little, to avoid spoilers. Orpheus (who is also called Aimery) and Zimri are such a sweet couple!
Omg that last sentence!! I was probably reading the excerpt with a giddy Emily on my face and lovey eyes haha I want this book!! I'm so adding it to my goodreads TBR. I'm glad you reviewed it otherwise, I wouldn't have known this early on about it since I haven't seen anyone else read it.

LOL! I hope you get a chance to read it, Genesis! I could see you really liking it. I personally haven't seen any reviews or buzz for this one either, which makes me sad. :o
DeleteWhat a sweet kiss! I tend to do that, kiss the hubby as he is droning on and on.
