Think... Vacation (#2)

Vacation Destination: Origin

 13644052
by Jennifer Armentrout

         Oh, the sun, the waves, sand, and all things beach-y. 
Little, tiny soaps, hair dryers attached to the walls, and fold out couches. 
The joys of travel. 
*dreamy sigh*

Time to talk books.

Origin is the fourth book in Jennifer Armentrout's Luxen series. It's a paranormal romance with a rocking heroine and a totally awesome love interest (book boyfriend material). Of course one of my absolute favorite parts isn't very long. It's just a car ride. 

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ORIGIN DO NOT READ ON. SPOILERS AHEAD.
Chapter 21 (Daemon's POV)

       One car long car ride into a different state with a Luxen, a hybrid, and an origin. What could be better? Okay, this scene really has nothing to do with where they are (even though that matters latter) but more to do with the thoughts running through Daemon's head:

"Kat's left hand was curled up against my thigh. For several minutes, I couldn't look away. what was it about the left hand? It was just a hand, and Kat had a really great hand and all, but it wasn't that. It was what typically went on the left hand, on the ring finger. God, thinking about rings and the left hand made me want to get out of this vehicle and do about a hundred laps, but being married to Kat-married? My brain tripped over that word, but it wouldn't be terrible. Nah, it would be far from that. It would be sort of... perfect."
- Jennifer Armentrout, Origin

        

       
     
       When I first read that I  might have started bouncing up and down and squealing... but if asked I will deny it. You may have started to notice a little bit of a pattern with these travel scenes. It's true, I'm a sucker for romance. Only thing better than normal people romance: aliens talking about marriage. Okay, that sounded a little crazy, but if you've read the book you'll understand.
