My Swoon for this week comes from:

Thin White Line
(Badboy Rockers #1)
by
J.A. Templeton


First - The Blurb:

*New Adult Romance--17+ due to adult situations.*





Kenzie’s picture perfect California life is turned upside down when her father leaves the family for another woman. Within months, she goes from private school and posh beachside living to public school and a sub-par apartment in rainy Washington. 

On her first day at her new school, Kenzie is reunited with her cousin Brooke, a rebellious senior who sings in a popular rock band with two of the sexiest men Kenzie has ever met. 

Kenzie is soon swept into a world of partying, concerts and tattooed bad boy rockers. Just when she starts to feel like she finally belongs, a single night and a fateful decision changes everything. 






Second - The Swoon:

His throat convulses as he swallows hard, then he reaches up and brushes long fingers along my jaw. "I want you too."
The smile disappears from my lips and I kiss him... with all the passion I've been feeling since I met him.
His hands cup my face and his lips meet mine. The touch is soft at first, but soon grows heated as I scoot closer to him, my arms around his neck. I push him back on the couch and am soon the aggressor, kissing him, my hands in his hair.
Reaching behind his head he drags the shirt over his head and tosses it aside. I slide my hands along the chiseled planes of his chest, his abdomen, and the sides of his mouth curve into a mischievous grin that I feel all the way to my toes.


There are two bad boys in this story - Ryder and Deklan. Ryder is the flirtatious type, while Deklan is a little more reserved. Attracted to both of them, Kenzie is not sure which one she likes more. Eventually though, she does finally make a decision.

Can you guess which bad boy she's kissing?

Hint: it's probably not the one you think it is.

My Tease for this week comes from:

Crossing the Line

(Pushing the Limits #1.1)

by
Katie McGarry


First - The Blurb:


Katie McGarry captivated readers with her “riveting, emotional”* Young Adult debut, Pushing the Limits. In this gripping novella, she tells the story of Lila and Lincoln, who discover that sometimes it’s worth crossing the line for love…

Lila McCormick, Echo's best friend from Pushing the Limits, first met Lincoln Turner when tragedy struck both their lives. But she never expected their surprise encounter would lead to two years of exchanging letters—or that she’d fall for the boy she’s only seen once. Their relationship is a secret, but Lila feels closer to Lincoln than anyone else. Until she finds out that he lied to her about the one thing she depended on him for the most.

Hurting Lila is the last thing Lincoln wanted. For two years, her letters have been the only thing getting him through the day. Admitting his feelings would cross a line he’s never dared breach before. But Lincoln will do whatever it takes to fix his mistakes, earn Lila’s forgiveness—and finally win a chance to be with the girl he loves.


Second - The Tease:

Her kiss is soft and warm - inviting. We both explore, a hesitant dance as we glide over lines neither one of us imagined crossing. I let go of her hand to push the damp hair away from her face. My fingers trace her cheekbone, then drift to the nape of her neck.
My skin vibrates when a feminine sigh escapes her lips - a sound of longing. Lila shifts and I take advantage by wrapping an arm around her body. She weaves her fingers into my hair and pulls me closer. My blood heats and so does our kiss.


What can I say, Katie McGarry has done it again with this Novella. Definitely a must read.
