I’ve been wanting to participate in this for awhile, especially with all the definitely swoon-worthy books I’ve been reading lately. Here is 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
- Try to make the swoon excerpt 140
characters (or less), if you are going to tweet about it. Use the
hashtag #YABOUND when tweeting
So, this week I’m going to make my swoon from the book that I think will have my forever and ever all time boyfriend, Before Jamaica Lane (On Dublin Street #3) by Samantha Young. I could go oh so sexy with a swoon moment from him, but I’ll go with one from early in the book.
Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex—usually, she can’t get up the nerve to approach guys she’s interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it’s time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.
Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he’s as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.
The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate’s past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left brokenhearted. When Nate realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before to entice his best friend into falling back in love with him—or he may lose her forever….
“Okay. Next.”
I blinked in confusion again. “Next?”
“The supposed fat arse?”
The touch of Nate’s hand on my ass caused me to jump about ten feet, but he didn’t let go, smoothing his hand over my butt and giving it a gentle squeeze.
Whoa, okay, then.
My skin was prickling and there was a suspicious fullness in my breasts and lower belly that I adamantly tried to ignore.
“Not fat.” Nate leaned close to my ear, speaking in a low voice that did nothing to abate the physical response in my body. “Curvy. And I’ll let you in on a secret: There are still men out there that like a woman to be soft under their hands, to have curves, hips, tits, and arse.” He tapped my butt gently with the palm of his hand. “Its a good arse, babe. I don’t want to hear you refer to it as anything else.”

I LOVE these novels! 🙂 The first one will forever and always be my favorite! I haven't gotten to this one yet, so I hope that doesn't change it! I cannot imagine someone replacing my current lead holder!
Oh, I love Nate oh so much!!! I did love the first one, and the second one, and now the fourth one too. But Nate, this book, he will always be my favorite! 🙂 I love him even more than Daemon Black from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
"…he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting…" This seems so strange to me, but I never really 'got it' on the flirting arena anyway. I'm one of those that a wink would look more like I have something in my eye. 🙂

That's one reason I probably loved this book so much. I am so like the main character, Olivia. I have no idea how to flirt. So it was just a perfect man for me in that situation. 🙂
