your blog! We want to know :)


This week my swoon comes from Bared to You.


So, here it is:
"Romance isn't in my repertoire,
Eva. But a thousand ways to make
you come are. Let me show you."
The car slowed to a halt. He
withdrew the key from the panel
and the doors opened.
I backed into the corner and
shooed him out with a flick of
my wrist. "I'm really not interested."
"We'll discuss." Cross caught me
by the elbow and gently, but insistently,
urged me out.
I went along because I liked
the charge I got from being around
him and because I was curious to
see what he had to say when
afforded more than five minutes
of my time.
He was buzzed through the security
door so quickly there was no need
for him to break stride. The pretty
redhead at the reception desk pushed
hastily to her feet, about to impart
some information until he shook his
head impatiently. Her mouth snapped
shut and she stared at me as we
passed at a brisk pace, her eyes wide.


Hope you enjoyed!

Swoon Thursday: Fifty Shades of Grey

This is my first ever Swoon Thursday! It seems like a really great and fun idea! On with the book! It just so happens that when something really epic happens, or something a character says that makes me feel a certain way -- I always take a screenshot (I mostly read e-books.) I'm actually on the third and final book in this trilogy, but this was the first thing in this series that made me SWOON!

The book is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. Also, these books have a lot of "sexy times" just in case you didn't already know. However, I picked a clean scene! I remember thinking "OMG, he has so much power and authority! Ooooooo!" He's so strong and handsome and rich and powerful (yes, I said it twice) and the list can go on forever! I instantly fell in love with Christian Grey! Onto the swooning!

Christian Grey is asking me on a date. He's asking
if you want a coffee. Maybe he thinks you haven't
woken up yet,
my subconscious whines at me in
a sneering mood again. I clear my throat, try-
ing to control my nerves.
"I have to drive everyone home," I murmur
apologetically, twisting my hands and fingers
in front of me.
"TAYLOR," he calls, making me jump.
Taylor, who had been retreating down the cor-
ridor, turns and heads back toward us.
"Are they based at the university?" Grey
asks, his voice soft and inquiring. I nod, too
stunned to speak.
"Taylor can take them. He's my driver. We
have a large 4x4 here, so he'll be able to take
the equipment, too."
"Mr Grey?" Taylor asks when he reaches
us, giving nothing away.
"Please, can you drive the photographer,
his assistant, and Miss Kavanagh back home?"
"Certainly, sir," Taylor replies.
"There. Now can you join me for coffee?"
Grey smiles as if it's a done deal.

FABULOUS-NESS!!
So, tell me, what made you swoon?!

Enjoy your day!
