This week, our internal theme seems to be kisses that defy reason, that rule our thoughts, and that hold mad power over our character's senses. Those toe-curling, shiver-inducing smooches. Read on to see some of our favorite ones this week =D

RACHEL:   I'm a happy girl, because I finally got to read PUSHING THE LIMITS by Katie McGarry. Those who've read it know that this book is filled with yumminess, but this one definitely held some power:

Pure hunger darkened those chocolate-brown eyes. "Kiss me."Raw emotions and the need to hold him close overwhelmed me. Every part of me ached for him--my mind, my soul and my body. Without hesitation, I closed the gap between us and pressed my lips eagerly to his.

TARA: Swooning over Destiny's Fire by Trisha Wolfe:
“Dez,” Jace whispered, pulling me from my thoughts. I relaxed my lids, allowing my eyes to open. He stared at me, his blue eyes glowing fiercely. Then he brushed his lips lightly across mine. I froze. My heart stopped beating. He pressed his lips firmly, parting my lips, as he deepened the kiss.

KELLY: Swooning over Transcend by Christine Fonseca:

As her mouth met his, the sudden touch of her warm tongue against his was the end of all reason. Jason gripped her shoulders, released her beautiful lips, tasting the soft skin of her neck. A gasp escaped her mouth, and her breath felt like fire on his skin

TRISH: Swooning over DEFIANCE by C. J. Redwine:

His arms flex, pulling me against his chest, and his lips hover just above mine, our breath mingling in the dazzling morning air.
"I love you," he whispers, and then he kisses me again, his lips rough against mine, his breathing ragged as he devours my fear and makes me long to feel this way forever.

NEREYDA: Swooning over Alice In Zombieland by Gena Showalter:

He stared at me for a long while before finally meshing his lips against mine, his tongue sliding into my mouth.  The kiss was slow at first but soon sped into something wild.  Would it always be this way with us?  I wondered dazedly.
Somehow, my nervousness vanished and my hands ended up under his shirt, my nails embedded in his skin.  I couldn’t touch him enough.  Couldn’t get close enough.

SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! On your blog (and be sure to leave us a link), and/or on Twitter... SWOON us!
