“I’m not going to say it was love at first sight. No, it was more like oh, hell-yes-please, I’ll have that. With a helping of right-the-fuck-now on the side.”

The Hook Up
“I think you’re beautiful,” he says softly.“Beauty fades,” I choke out.“Not when it comes from inside.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“We are all imperfect creatures, love. I don't want perfect. I just want you.” ― Kristen Callihan, Moonglow
“A person can get…stuck, for lack a better word, in a life. It’s surprisingly easy, really. Hours bleed into days; days fade into months. Before you know it, years have passed, and you’re just this person, someone your younger self wouldn’t even recognize.” ― Kristen Callihan, Idol
“There is one absolute truth. The sum of my existence equals you.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Friend Zone
“Slowly, her slim hand smoothed over the swell of his buttock, lingering there. A shocked laugh choked his throat, the sound muddled by a stifled groan that her intrigued touch elicited. The saucy little sneak thief was copping a feel. He felt inclined to turn around and let her get a handful.” ― Kristen Callihan, Firelight
“Some people never understand the gift they have. And some people wait a lifetime to have someone to love.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“And I think how you see yourself makes you who you are. Your soul doesn't have a title or an occupation. It's just you. The rest of the world can go fuck themselves.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“You didn't know how to live under my light? I don't have a light anymore unless you're there.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“You are my greatest weakness because I have no defense when it comes to you.” ― Kristen Callihan, Managed
“Music can be your friend when you have none, your lover when you’re needy. Your rage, your sorrow, your joy, your pain. Your voice when you’ve lost your own. To be a part of that, to be the soundtrack of someone’s life, is a beautiful thing. —Killian James, lead singer and guitarist, Kill John” ― Kristen Callihan, Idol
“What is beauty or ugliness but a false front that prompts man to make assumptions rather than delving deeper.” ― Kristen Callihan, Firelight
“Know this, there is only one truth left to me." His trembling fingertips caressed her jaw. "That I love you." He said it again, his voice broken, his arms pulling her tightly against him. "I love you. The rest is darkness."Her fingers curled around the smooth swells of his biceps. "Then let me be your light.” ― Kristen Callihan, Firelight
“He's slowly carving his name into my heart. And it hurts.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“He took a quick breath, and his voice dropped. "You've no notion of the effect you have on me"The words gave a hard tug to her belly. She closed her eyes and swallowed. "If by effect, you mean finding yourself in unchartered waters, wondering whether you are coming or going...." She stared at his shirt, watching his breath hitch. "Then I fear you have the same effect on me, my lord.” ― Kristen Callihan, Firelight
“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.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Hook Up
“The funny thing is, Ivy, falling in love with you was as easy as breathing. The best time of my life.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Friend Zone
“If you want only one woman, the rest is just noise.” ― Kristen Callihan, The Game Plan
“You're collecting pieces of me, aren't you?" His voice turned thick as warm toffee, rolling over her skin, heating it. "A bit here. A bit there. Soon you'll set me out on the table, to try and fit me back together."Ignoring the flurries plaguing her belly, she affected blandness. "I've only got the corners. But it is a start."A warm breath touched her neck. "I believe you have the centerpiece as well.” ― Kristen Callihan, Firelight
