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! We want to know :-)

Here's mine:

"No one's ever cared about me before. No one's put their life on the line for me. No one even considered it. You did it not only for me, but for my brother. I--I didn't think anyone could love me."

Her heart pinched all over again, and she ran her fingers over his stubbly jaw, the cap she'd kept on her emotions for so long finally blowing free. I loved you before, daemon. It just doesn't even come close to how much I love you now. "Then you thought wrong. And if you'll let me, I'll spend the next five hundred or so years proving just how wrong you were."

Teaser Tuesday (#32): Enraptured by Elisabeth Naughton

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! 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! 

My Teaser:

"The question isn't why I care, daemon," she murmured as she drifted to sleep. "The question is how long have I cared?"

Here's mine (this one is kind of heartbreaking, but it also pulled at my heart strings, and it is from an "adult" pararom):

"I love you, kardia," he said louder as the guard shoved him up the first step. He twisted around to look at her. "You have my heart. You always have. Just you. Just you, Isadora."

As they dragged him away, his last image was of her standing between her sisters with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Waiting on Wednesday (#14): Enraptured by Elisabeth Naughton

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's eagerly anticipated release is:

Enraptured (Eternal Guardians #4)
by Elisabeth Naughton
Expected publication: April 3rd 2012 by Sourcebooks Casablanca

Orpheus may have joined the elite protectors known as Eternal Guardians, but they've never trusted whose side he's really on. And the half-daemon couldn't care less. Orpheus has only one goal: rescue his brother from the Underworld. He's not expecting a woman to get in the way, especially not one sent by Zeus to seduce, entrap, and then ultimately destroy him. A woman who will dredge up a past he doesn't remember, a love that once condemned him, and a dark and deadly secret as old as the Eternal Guardians themselves.

I love the Eternal Guardians series and with this book it looks like things are really going to heat up!
