This week, my swoon is from Devils & Thieves by Jennifer Rush!
(I've chosen two swoons! This first one is an "almost" swoon between Crowe and Jemmie. I found it swoony. Just me?)
I cut him off. "I should have walked home."
I moved past him for the living room. His hand snapped out and grabbed me by the wrist. Heat spread out from his touch, engulfing me, and I wondered if he felt it, too, this volcano that erupted between us whenever we touched. Only some of it had to do with magic, but I was already breathing it in as it snaked out in amber streaks around us, dark and dangerous and pulsing.
He hadn't touched me purposefully in a long time.

(This is from Crowe and Jemmie's past - a flashback!)
"I miss this," I'd told him that night. "I miss you."
He'd glanced at me, his stupidly handsome face painted in the glow of the moon. I recognized that glint in his eyes right away because I felt it, too. I even had a name for it: hunger.
"Oh, Jemmie Carmichael," he'd said, and then he kissed me, hard and fast, his hands ghosting over my skin.
When he pulled away, just enough to get a breath, lick his already wet lips, I shivered and tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him back in.

I adored this book! It has been a while since Jennifer Rush published a new one, and this one did not disappoint. Check out her Altered trilogy too!
This sounds like a second chance romance full of plenty of swoon! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo I love "almost" swoons so that first one was perfect! Seriously the more I hear about this book, the more I want to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously all your Swoon Thursday excerpts make me badly want to read the books you feature. Sigh =D
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'm really excited about this one! I only ever read Altered and need to finish the series still but I did enjoy her writing a lot and these swoons sound fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it was worth the wait.
