A weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This week I got to choose my own Top Ten List—- so I went with Top Ten Super Hot YA Couples!!  You guys know I love romance and kissing so this shouldn’t surprise you.  I know there are a lot of couples out there that I haven’t met yet… but at this point I’d say my top ten is about as hot as it gets!!  What couples do I need to meet asap??

In no particular order…..

Divergent – Veronica Roth

He turns toward me. I want to touch him, but I’m afraid of his bareness; afraid that he will make me bare too.
‘Is this scaring you, Tris?’
‘No,’ I croak. I clear my throat. ‘Not really. I’m only…afraid of what I want.’
‘What do you want?’ Then his face tightens. ‘Me?’
Slowly I nod.

The Infernal Devices – Cassandra Clare

For a moment their mouths pressed hotly together, Will’s free hand tangling in her hair.  Tessa gasped when his arms went around her, her skirts snagging on the floor as he pulled her hard against him.  She put her hands lightly around his neck; his skin was burning hot to the touch.  Through the thin wet material of his shirt, she could feel the muscles of his shoulders, hard and smooth.  His fingers found her jeweled hair clasp and pulled at it, and her hair spilled down around her shoulders, the comb rattling to the floor, and Tess gave a little cry of surprise against his mouth.

Pushing the Limits – Katie McGarry

In a lightning-fast move, he placed both of his hands on the brick wall, caging me with his body. He leaned toward me and my heart shifted into a gear I didn’t know existed. His warm breath caressed my neck, melting my frozen skin. I tilted my head, waiting for the solid warmth of his body on mine. I could see his eyes again and those dark orbs screamed hunger .

Shatter Me – Tahereh Mafi

My fingers are tugging at the hem of his wet clothes and his eyes widen for only a second before he rips the material off himself. He grabs my hands and lifts my arms above my head pinning me against the wall, kissing me until I’m sure I’m dreaming, drinking in my lips with his lips and he tastes like rain and sweet musk and I’m about to explode.

Bloodlines – Richelle Mead

And somehow, against all reason, we were kissing. I closed my eyes, and the world around me faded. The noise, the smoke . . . it was gone. All that mattered was the taste of his mouth, a mix of cloves and mints. There was a fierceness in his kiss, a desperation . . . and I answered, just as hungry for him. I didn’t stop him when he pulled me closer, so that I almost sat on his lap. I’d never been wrapped around someone’s body like that, and I was shocked at how eagerly mine responded. His arm went around my waist, pulling me onto him further, and his other hand slid up the back of my neck, getting entangled in my hair. He took his lips away from my mouth, gently trailing kisses down to my neck. I tipped my head back, gasping when the intensity returned to his mouth. There was an animalistic quality that sent shock waves through the rest of my body.

Vampire Academy – Richelle Mead

Before he realized what was happening, I kissed him.  Our lips met, and when I felt him kiss me back, I knew I was right.  He pressed himself closer, trapping me between him and the wall.  He kept holding my hand, but his other one snaked behind my head, sliding into my hair.  The kiss was filled with so much intensity; it held anger, passion, release….

Under the Never Sky – Veronica Rossi

He kissed her slowly. Everything went slowly so he could follow her temper, and search into her eyes. When they joined, her scent was brave and strong and certain. Perry took it into himself, breathing her breath, feeling what she felt. He’d never known anything as right.

Blood Red Road – Moira Young

He drops the torch.  He pushes me against the wall.  Then his mouth is on mine an he’s starvin or dyin of thirst or somethin.  He kisses my lips, my face, my neck, then back to my lips agin.  His lips is smooth.  Warm.  The smell of him fills me.  We’re pressed tight together, chest to chest, thigh to thigh.  His heart thuds against mine.  A shiver runs over me from the top of my hear to the ends of my toes.  I’m hot an cold all at once.  The tiny hairs on my arms, on the back of my neck, tingle.  My skin’s stretched tight over my bones.  A heavy heat settles low in my belly.

The Mortal Instruments – Cassandra Clare

His mouth came down on hers. And that was it. All the self-control he’d exerted over the past weeks went, like water crashing through a broken dam. Her arms came up around his neck and he pulled her against him… His hands flattened against her back… and she was up on the tips of her toes, kissing him as fiercely as he was kissing her… He clung to her more tightly, knotting his hands in her hair, trying to tell her, with the press of his mouth on hers, all the things he could never say out loud…

Unravel Me – Tahereh Mafi

His chest, heaving harder this time. His words, almost gasping this time. “You destroy me.”
I am falling to pieces in his arms.
My fists are full of unlucky pennies and my heart is a jukebox demanding a few nickels and my head is flipping quarters heads or tails heads or tails heads or tails heads or tails
“Juliette,” he says, and he mouths the name, barely speaking at all, and he’s pouring molten lava into my limbs and I never even knew I could melt straight to death.

ENCORE: 

(MORE THAN HONORABLE MENTIONS!)

Hands down Rose belongs with Dimitri, but no one can deny the chemistry between….

Vampire Academy – Richelle Mead

He came screeching to a halt when I tossed my hair out of the way and offered my neck to him.  I managed to turn slightly so that I could meet his eyes, but I said nothing.  I didn’t have to.  The invitation was obvious.

“Rose….” he said uncertainly- though I could see the longing spring up in his face.

I just met this couple this week and it would be wrong not to mention…

Dare You To – Katie McGarry

I knot my fingers into his hair, guiding his head to mine.  ”You talk too much.”

“I do,” he agrees and his lips finally meet mine.

It’s an innocent kiss at first.  Soft lips meeting; a gentle pressure that creates a slow burn.  The type of kiss you give to someone that means something.  This isn’t the type of kiss to be wasted on me.  But still, I prolong it by taking his lower lip into mine and I touch his smooth face.
