Swoon Thursday #11: Undescribable, Playing With Fire, Darkness Deserved, Escaping Me

It's Swoon Thursday, hosted by  YA Bound. This is a weekly meme, which I will be doing every single Thursday :D! Here is how it works:

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. 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. We want to know!
 
I was so busy last week that I did not do a Swoon Thursday post. What does that mean? I read 3 books last week, and am currently reading 1 books this week. So I will be posting 2 swoons from the books I read last week, and the book I am reading this week :D! Get ready to COMBUST with all of these  SWOONS ;D!


Undescribable by Shantel Tessier:

Swoon #1:

    My lips brush hers softly and she starts to pull her head away, but I hold her head still by her hair.
    “Don’t,” I whisper against her lips, making her body tremble.
    I continue to hold her lips close to mine as I let my eyes search her face. I can feel her breath on my face and it is intoxicating. “I’m going to kiss you. Just this once, please. I need to kiss you, Angel.” At this point I was not  too good to beg.
    “Okay” she says against my lips breathlessly. “Kiss me.”
    That is all the invitation I need.

 

Swoon #2:

“I know you said you needed time and space. I can’t give you any more space, but I can give you more time. I’m not asking for you to say you love me, or tell me you can’t live without me, but these last couple of days have been torture. I need to sleep with you at night. Not fuck, sleep. Me holding you, touching you, loving you. I can’t do without you anymore.” 



Playing With Fire by Ashley Piscitelli:

 Swoon #1:

“I want to tell her how much I love her. I want to be with her, make her laugh, be able to be the one to hold her when she is upset. I want to show her how amazing she is and be the first person in her life to treat her like that. Every time she comes in a room, I can’t take my eyes off of her. When she touches me, sometimes I need to remember how to breathe.”


Swoon #2:

I crushed my lips to Carter’s and drank him in, like I needed him to breathe. The truth is, sometimes I felt like I did. He was surprised, but quickly recovered. He kissed me back with so much love and lifted me into the air.



Darkness Deserved by Jessica Spoon:

Swoon #1:

He pulls me to him and spins me around so that my back is to the door. He bends down and lifts me up so I have to wrap my legs around him.
    He gets millimeters from my face and growls out, “Woman, you belong to me. I’ve been waiting a long time for someone like you and you are not getting away. Do you understand me?” 


Swoon #2:

“I know exactly what I deserve and what I want. That’s you. You’re it for me. I’ve never reacted to someone the way I do with you. That… it’s… This… ‘pull’ between us isn’t something I can ignore. It’s too demanding. I'm not going to walk away. No matter what you say, nothing will make me give up on us. You think you’re only going to hurt me, but I know what I can handle and what I can’t. And what I can’t handle is the idea of never having you. Of not exploring this. That is a regret that I am not prepared to live with."



Escaping Me by Elizabeth Lee:

Swoon #1:

"Do you mind?” I snap, turning to tell him to back off.  But he doesn’t. Instead, he places his hands on the truck, catching me between his muscled forearms and pinning me between his delicious body and the truck.


Have you read any of these books? What did you think of my swoons?

My Thoughts:

 

***WARNING: Don't read any further if you might be offended by curse words and sexual references***

 

Undescribable: Too unusual, extreme, or indefinite to be adequately described; indescribable.

WOW! Undescribable by Shantel Tessier was everything I expected and much more :D! If you read the teasers and excerpts Shantel Tessier posted before it's release day, then you will not be disappointed. I loved the story and all of the characters in her book, except Jax, who was a total ass hole. Now where to begin to explain how amazingly hot Undescribable is :D!


I’m known for this kind of thing; fucking a girl that I don’t know somewhere in a corner. It’s nothing new.

I will be completely honest and say that I was not very fond of Slade from the beginning. He treated women horribly (but let's face it, if a women acts like a slut she will be treated as one), a major player, thought women should bow down at his feet, and he is cocky. But Slade just grew on me. Who can resist this sizzleing hot alpha male? Not me :D! I was practically drooling for this guy, and wishing I was Samantha (LUCKY GIRL!). Shantel Tessier you choose one of the sexiest names for this sexy man. I did not just fall for Slade's sexiness, cockiness, straightforwardness, and panty dropping man. I also feel for the man that is hidden deep inside. He is a different man when he meets Samantha. I guess I just feel in love with the whole Slade package.


My heart is already broken and lying at my feet in a thousand pieces.

I had a love and hate relationship with Samantha's character. I just wanted to slap this girl for staying in a relationship with Jax for so long! In the beginning of the story Samantha is insecure, has had her heartbroken, does not feel loved, and she is very independent (love this). Once she meets the famous playboy, Slade, her whole world changes. What I loved about Samantha's character was that she didn't let Slade play her, like he had played all the other girls. Of course she was instantly attracted to Slade, but she did not show it. She makes him work hard for her love-way to go girl :D! I also love that Samantha keeps her independence, but at the same time let's Slade help her and care for her. The only problem I had with Samantha was that she apologized a lot. Most of the times it wasn't really necessary for her to apologize, because of her actions in certain situations. Other than that, I just loved Samantha and her obsession with heels :D!


She might look like an angel, but my thoughts of her have been nothing short of sinful.


The way he touches me is light as a feather, and my body hums with the softness. It’s as if he can control my entire body with just a touch.

It is obvious that these two hot people are not going to be able to keep their hands off each other for long. Did I mention how LUCKY Samantha is to have a man like Slade in her life? Seriously, the relationship these two develop is just everything you would want in a relationship-trust, love, passion, support, lust, friendship,etc. I guess that you can describe their relationship as being both sweet and spicy, but spicy is pretty high on the scale ;D! Both Slade and Samantha bring out the best on each other in their relationship. Samantha gives Slade all the love that he has never experienced with other girls. Slade brings out the wild side in Samantha, and he makes her feel loved and wanted. These two are just perfect for each other.


I just want to take her in my arms and hold on tight and enjoy this crazy ride she has got me on.

Undescribable by Shantel Tessier is a sizzling hot read. From beginning to end you will be fanning yourself, taking cold showers, or both because this book is just sexy hot. Shantel Tessier gives us both sweet and hot with Samantha and Slade's characters. Their story is not only hot sex and sexual attraction. Both Samantha and Slade go through situations that proves how strong their love towards each other truly is, because without one another they would never be able to make it through. The ending is not really a cliff-hanger, but Shantel Tessier leaves you wanting more Samantha and Slade :D! Can't wait to read the next book in this three book series. Shantel Tessier you definitely delivered a book that made me fall in love with your characters and their story!

Teaser Tuesday #11: TRAGIC, Nearly Broken, Charmed, & Undescribable

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along :D! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

 
I did not do a Teaser Tuesday last week, because I was playing catch up on everything :). This week I will be posting teasers from four AMAZING books- one of these I am still currently reading.  TRAGIC by J.A. Huss, Nearly Broken by Devon Ashley, Charmed by Cambria Hebert, and Undescribable by Shantel Tessier.


Teaser #1:

She's a blackbird sitting in a tree staring out at the world, daring the wind to come and knock her off the swaying bough.

 

Teaser #2:

I'm afraid of just about everything he represents. I mean let's be honest, all the best-looking guys cheat. That's a given.

 

Teaser #1:

 I woke up screaming, my hairline drenched with sweat, my hand tingling where it was burning just seconds ago. Nick was on me in seconds, slamming the doors into their hidden pockets with so much force they bounced back at him.


 

Teaser #2:

 “But be honest with me. Did you ever talk to someone about what happened? I mean about what happened before your last day? ” he skirted.

 

 

Teaser #1:

I had no intention of staying away from Charming. I fully intended to find out what the hell he was up to. I just promised not to die while doing it.  


 

Teaser #2:

    “What are we going to do for nine hours?”
    “I can think of a few things.” I wagged my eyebrows. “Want to see how my jeans look on the floor?” 

 

Teaser #1:

I can’t get Samantha out of my head. God, that voice. So sweet and gentle, it had taken my breath away when she spoke my name. I have never experienced anything like it before.

 

Teaser #2:

I've never been one to want someone by just looking at them. I've always tried to stray away from physical contact when it comes to the opposite sex, but with him, it's like my body wants to draw him in.

 

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of the teasers?
