This week, my swoon is from The Last Best Kiss by Claire LaZebnik!
We said good-bye at the front door, and he hesitated, then abruptly leaned toward me. He had been so quiet since our conversation that, when I titled my face up to his, I expected a quick, dismissive peck. Instead his arms went around me and tightened heard as his lips crushed mine in a way that was hungrier and more demanding - and more wonderful - than any kiss we'd had before. I was glad his arms were pinning me against him, because it felt like my legs were dissolving underneath me.

Read my review HERE.
I know, I know, two YA contemporary novels in a row, and I enjoyed them both immensely. This is coming from the girl that usually really dislikes contemporary novels O_O
Squee... that's a yummy kiss! I was swooning right then too!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my SWOON!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
I'm glad, Naomi!
DeleteThis looks great! I'm glad you're enjoying quite a few contemporary novels lately. It's great getting to read a different type of book every once in a while!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised and happy, Victoria! It's definitely a good thing :D
DeleteOver the past year I've been reading more and more contemporary. I like to mix it up with my paranormal reads.
ReplyDeleteSweet swoon. I'm glad she got more than a peck.
My Swoon @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
I'm the opposite - I'm trying to mix in contemporary with my fantasy/science fiction/paranormal reads ^_^
DeleteAww, that one is sweet. Here's My Swoon
ReplyDeleteAwww that was so sweet! Love it! And I love the last line about dissolving legs.... Idk why but I always like when an author describes a kiss making legs go weak, or dissolving, or jelly or well you get where I'm going haha. Great swoon!
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
ME TOO! It's so adorable when a girl gets weak in the knees. Love!
