This week, my swoon is from Poisoned Blade by Kate Elliott!


Kal brushes a finger along my palm in a way that makes me shiver. "I suppose I deserve that."

"Exactly what is it you think you deserve?" I tease, but the moment I speak, the words seem too light, too joking, for this awful day. Hoarsely, I go on. "[line taken out because spoilers]"

I run up my hands up his chest. He's wearing coarsely woven laborer's clothing but the pleasure of touching him is all silk, and he makes a soft sound in his throat as I lean in to kiss him. 

Every complication falls away. There is only his mouth testing mine, my body pressing against his, the way his fingers slide up my bare skin under the loose cloth of my vest to trace the curve of my ribs like a brush of desire...

- ARC, page 462




Ahhh, Jes and Kal. Swoony as ever. <3
