Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week we’re talking about books that make you SWOON! If you haven’t read these, check them out!! They’ll have you swooning just in time for Valentine’s Day! (Oh, and I may have majorly cheated this week. SUE ME. One can never have enough swoon.)
1. Any and all books by Jennifer L. Armentrout:
If you didn’t know by now… I have a huge author crush on Jennifer Armentrout — as well as on all the swoony swoony boys she writes. No one writes swoon like she does!!
The Covenant series: Aiden St. Delphi – Badass fighter, protective, loving, strong
The Lux series: Daemon Black – Snarky, cocky, fiercely loving
Wait for You: Cameron Hamilton – Sweet, persistent, baker extraordinaire
2. Pushing the Limits series by Katie McGarry:
These books make me want to clasp them to my chest and hug them. The stories are fantastic and the boys? OH MY GOD, swoontastic.
Pushing the Limits: Noah Hutchins – Bad boy aura, loving brother, caring
Dare You To: Ryan Stone – Athletic, smart, so super sweet
Crash Into You: Isaiah Walker – Tattoos, races cars, rough around the edges but holy crap amazing
3. Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead:
One of my all time favorite ships EVER – Rose and Dimitri. They are an epic love and the FEELS you guys!
Dimitri Belikov – A freaking warrior god, Russian, fiercely loving, heart melter
Adrian Ivashkov – Caring, arrogant, resides in your dreams
4. Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
CHAOL FREAKING WESTFALL.
Chaol Westfall – Captain of the Guard, loyal, honorable, so freaking swoony
5. Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis
Umm, if this town is real, I’m taking a road trip there right now. I mean, it’s like a small town packed chock full of swoon!
Jax (sexy, tool belt slinging man of a man), Ford (sexy sailor), Sawyer (sexy sheriff) — just to name a few. Did you catch the common denominator there?
6. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
The nice boy to give boys everywhere a run for their money. The boy that YOU wish lived next to YOU.
Jase Garrett – sweet, funny, selfless, perfect
7. Lost and Found by Nicole Williams
Cowboys. Enough said.
Jesse Walker – dimpled, optimistic, honest, sweetest soul ever
8. Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward
Vampire warriors defending their race – I dare you not to swoon while reading this addictive series! They are all fierce warrior alpha males that will pop up in your dreams if you binge read too much adult paranormal– oh wait, is that just me?
9. Pivot Point by Kasie West
TREVORRRR – the quiet, understated type that melted my heart right into a puddle
10. The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
One of my all time favorite fantasy series! Amazing, amazing story!
Mal – best friend, loving heart, sweet
Sturmhond – cocky, sarcastic, funny, charming
There you have it. Books that make me swoon and I’m positive will make YOU swoon too! What books do you think will make me swoon?
Aiden, Chaol, Trevor & Sturmhond. I would be the happpiest girl on earth if I had any one of them! Great list!
My TTT: http://wp.me/p3aBb6-xI
oooh, I read Throne of Glass a few days ago and already liked Chaol a lot. I NEED CROWN OF MIDNIGHT RIGHT THIS SECOND!
Great list!
I agree about JLA – Lux made my list also. There is no one quite like Daemon. VA, just saying. 😛
Reading Pivot Point today!!
Ha. I don’t know what happened to most of my reply?
Well, the part before VA was supposed to say Bloodlines > VA. :)I think I also gushed about My Life Next Door and Katie McGarry and the Lucky Harbor series.
Whaaat whaaaat!!! LOVE YOUR LIST!! You know which ones I have read so I won’t bother telling you. haha I have Lost & Found on my kindle, but never read it. I also haven’t read anything by Jill Shalvis yet even though EVERYONE has told me to. Oh and Pivot Point– I’ve heard that is soooo good. I have that one on my shelf too, as well as the second. Gunna read those soon!
Great list Wendy!! We seem to have excellent taste because we had a lot of overlap! LOL I’ve had Nicole Williams on my to read list forever, I’ll have to keep that in mind for when I need some swoons!
Happy Tuesday!

jaime @ Fic Fare
Great picks! There are so many series that I am looking forward to reading soon! 🙂
Chaol Freaking Westfall!! Glad I’m not the only one who puts the “freaking” in there. Gah he is so freaking swoony. I just got Pushing the Limits which obviously I need to read yesterday. And I also have S&B and S&S sitting on my shelf which I need to read a year ago. I am also extremely intrigued by this Black Dagger Brotherhood series…Kelly and Betty (and some other bloggers I can’t think of right now) and now you. Apparently this is something that I need to read.
Daemon and Katy are awesome. I am really looking forward to Opposition!
Oh, I’m SO with you on Dimitri and Sturmhond. We’re doing our fictional crushes tomorrow and spoiler alert, both those guys are on my list, too!
AND a couple of your other picks were chosen by some authors as their fictional crushes today for our blog, hee hee. Great minds and all that. 🙂
I haven’t read any JLA books yet… *hides* But I have read the Pushing the Limits books and loved them, along with the swoony boys within. And also the Grisha series and My Life Next Door! Great picks!
Seriously, this list! So many good books, I don’t even know where to begin. Love Covenant and lux and VA is amazing! I still haven’t finished but I slow way down now so I’m excited to finish.
You have like 100 books on your list. Such a cheater. Lol! I love you and I love this list.
I am reading BDB series and it is a MAJOR swoon alert. V & Z are my favorites so far. 🙂
