Swoon Thursday ~ 7/25/13



The fabulous girls over at YA Bound created this super HOT meme.  Here's how it works.

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.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog! I want to know & so do the chicks at YABound!

Near & Far (Lost & Found, #2) by Nicole Williams

There’s optimistic. And there’s Jesse Walker.

If he wasn’t so charming, his sunny disposition and incessant grin would get annoying. Fast.

Falling in love with the girl who had at first seemed immune to it, was the best thing to happen to Jesse since the Walkers adopted him into their family when he was five. But loving the girl who has her fair share of secrets is about as easy as that same girl loving the boy who seems to have none.

As Jesse’s life continues at the ranch, and Rowen begins making her mark in the Seattle art community, they begin to wonder where the middle ground is. Or if there even is one.

As push comes to shove and choices aren’t only needing to be made, but forced to be made, Jesse and Rowen have to face what their lives might look like without the other.

Can two people with such tragic pasts and different presents, go on to expect a promising future? Whatever the answer, they’ll need a lot more than love to make it.



She twisted until her eyes locked onto mine.  I couldn't breathe when she looked at me that way.  I've never been able to when those blue eyes of hers held the emotion they were capable of.  I was just leaning in to cover her mouth with mine when her hand pressed into the side of my neck, stalling me.

"I'm glad you don't."
"I know," I replied. "Me too."  I held my smile for another second before my mouth dropped to hers.  Rowen sighed again, and before I gave my body permission, I'd shifted until I was holding my weight above her.  The pace of our kissing never slowed.

Her hands moved for the buckle of my belt at the same time mine moved for the hem of her shirt.  Rowen was kissing me, touching me, and loving me in all the ways I could ever want to be loved. (Kindle location 104)

*sigh* Totally and completely LOVE Jesse Walker!
