Synopsis:
The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love.
Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy right?
Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…
Football has been good to Drew. It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there’s one problem: she's shut him down. Completely.
That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she’s truly hooked. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning.
All’s fair in love and football…Game on.

About the Author
Kristen Callihan is a child of the 80’s, which means she's worn neon skirts, black-lace gloves, and combat boots (although never all at once) and can quote John Hughes movies with the best of them. A life long daydreamer, she finally realized that the characters in her head needed a proper home and thus hit the keyboard. She believes that falling in love is one of the headiest experiences a person can have, so naturally she writes romance. Her love of superheroes, action movies, and history led her to write historical paranormals. She lives in the Washington D.C. area and, when not writing, looks after two children, one husband, and a dog — the fish can fend for themselves.
4 'Everything' Stars
Life is a series of moments. Moments all stringed together that can unequivocally change the direction of your life. Moments that are gathered and become memories of stories past and those to still pass.
The second our gazes connect, hot tingles zap through me, making my breath catch and my nipples harden.
Then he opens his mouth and ruins everything.
"Hey there, Big Red."
A moment - Perfection in the making.
Perfection is a fallacy, but Drew Baylor was a slow building inferno. Starting from the bottom of my soles, coursing throughout my body, building slowly, heating my core, turning my insides molten. Heated intensity, until everything that he is, just bursts through the surface. Battle Axe Baylor, has crushed all my mistaken beliefs. He's addictive, and serene. With a hint of EVERYTHING.
Drew Baylor is the the coveted College man, and jock. He's the star Quarterback and revered wherever he goes. Falling for the opposite of what is his MO, Anna Jones, the sexy, curvaceous, sassy and quick witted Redhead was the perfect opponent for Drew. A mighty match, from a single moment in time, that will prove that you can conquer your fears and survive. Coming out on top, with a little Drew whipped cream, and an Anna cherry to set it to fabulosity. lol my word.
Anna and Drew start off rocky, skirting around each other, even with the sizzling air that surrounds them. Drew wants her, she's different. Anna sees him, not the image, just simple Drew Baylor. Anna cannot get past her teenage fears and shortcomings. How can Drew be interested in her? It must be a trick? He's "bigger" than she is. This can't be possible. It's a push and pull type of start, a tug of war- of words, emotions, bodies and hearts. Ultimately the uniting of perfect opposites.
The Hook Up, which happens at a party, sets the pace for the story. Creating vivid images and lusty emotions within the reader. Each emotion felt to the core. Rolling and rippling within me. I felt like a third wheel. An on looker from the inside out. Standing beside them as their story was created, unraveled and portrayed.
Anna decides she needs boundaries that will help her along with Drew. She sets certain rules:
No kissing,
no staying the night,
no telling anyone,
and above all....
No falling in love.
“Why won’t you let me kiss you, Anna?”
I can’t breathe.
“Why, Anna?”
“It’s too much,” I rasp.
“Not when I want everything.” He says it so deep and strong, a staking of a claim. “And I want everything with you, Anna.”
It was so amazing to see each and every one of those rules, BROKEN! Finally shattered by the intimacy of their first kiss. A kiss that I believe sealed the deal. Anna needed that little push. A jump start so to speak. Symbolizing, wholeheartedly, giving of herself over to Drew. Her heart, with it's armor slowly breaking away.
Moments -
Taking Drew means taking the good, the bad, and the in-between, Just as he takes me.
