The attention to details this Author incorporates and what makes us melt and laugh in equal measure was spot on and there in spades. It had a beautiful human element which can’t be ignored. The story was brilliantly paced as it evolved into so much more than the cover and synopsis gives it credit for. Kristen Callihan is a brilliant writer and she writes this type of story with honest emotion and lovable believable characters. It’s so intense and so enormous, sometimes I fear my soul can’t contain it.’ ‘What I feel for Gray? It isn’t comfortable. It’s without doubt swoon-worthy and addictive reading.

Where they truly get to know one another – hopes, desires and dreams. Which means Gray is going to have to use all his skills to get himself out of the friend zone and into Ivy’s heart. Her best friend is fast becoming the most irresistible guy she’s ever met. A rule that’s proving harder to keep now that Gray is doing his best to seduce her. Because, Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her father’s clients. He’s irreverent, sex on a stick, and completely off limits. Especially not with a certain football player. Because the only thing Gray can think of is being with Ivy. But then Ivy comes home and everything goes haywire. Before he knows it, Ivy Mackenzie has become his best texting bud. Something he explains when she sends him an irate text to let him know exactly how much pain she’ll put him in if he crashes her beloved ride. But he needs the wheels and she’s studying abroad. The last thing star tight-end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agent’s daughter’s bubblegum pink car.
