Swoon Thursday (4)

Hosted by YA Bound
Charade by Nyrae Dawn


The Rules of Swoon Thursday:

"From the book you are 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.  Try to make the Swoon 140 characters so you can tweet it.  Add the #YABOUND hashtag when you tweet."



Goodreads Summary:


Nineteen-year-old Cheyenne tries to portray the perfect life to mask the memories of her past. Walking in on her boyfriend with another woman her freshman year in college threatens that picture of perfection. 

Twenty-one-year-old Colt never wanted college and never expected to amount to anything, but when his mom's dying wish is for him to get his degree, he has no choice but to pretend it's what he wants too. 

Cheyenne needs a fake boyfriend to get back at her ex and Colt needs cash to take care of his mom, so they strike a deal that helps them both. But what if Cheyenne’s past isn’t what she thought? Soon they’re trading one charade for another—losing themselves in each other to forget about their pain. The more they play their game, the more it becomes the only thing they have that feels real.

Both Cheyenne and Colt know life is never easy, but neither of them expect the tragedy that threatens to end their charade and rip them apart forever.




What Made Me Swoon:


"Chey's lips come down hard on mine.  We're fucking frantic and needy and urgent.  I pick her up before covering her body with mine on the bed.  I kiss her again.  Her hands pull at my hair.  Colt... hurry up.  We're laughing again.  I never laugh like I do with her."  (Nook, 110)


What did you Swoon over this week?

  1. I LOVED Charade! Colt and Cheyenne were just perfect for each other! Now I can't wait for Adrian's story. Hope it is just as good.
    Happy Reading Lindy!
