My pick for Swoon Worthy Saturday this week is Adrian Ivashkov from Vampire Academy and Bloodlines written by Richelle Mead.

• He drinks and smokes to handle the aftermath of Spirit
• Adrian had low self-esteem, and Believe that he is a failure, like everyone expects him to be

Swoon Worthy Moments:

“My God, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them?"

That uncomfortable feeling was spreading over me again. "What about them?"

"The color," he breathed. "When you stand in the light. They're amazing... like molten gold. I could paint those..." He reached toward me but then pulled back. "They're beautiful. You're beautiful.”  

 I'm not going to say anything to spoil the reading for you, but let's just say I did a lot of swooning.

“Thanks for looking out for her, Sage. You're okay. For a human." 

I almost laughed. "Thanks." 

"You can say it too, you know." 

I walked over to Latte and paused. "Say what?" 

"That I'm okay...for a vampire," he explained.  

I shook my head, still smiling. "You'll have a hard time getting any Alchemist to admit that. But I can say you're okay for an irreverent party boy with occasional moments of brilliance." 

"Brilliant? You think I'm brilliant?" He threw his hands skyward. "You hear that, world? Sage says I'm brilliant.”

And my last Swoon Worthy moment with Adrian is from VA.

"Don't worry, Little Dhampir. You might be surrounded by clouds, but you'll always be like sunshine to me." 

So, what did you think of the quotes? Did they make you swoon as much as they made me swoon?
