Perfect Match Blog Tour

Inside the ring Jackson aka Bullet is a high flyer,the fearless risk taker that takes people down with his signature move Shot to the Heart. Outside the ring,its his heart that takes the shot. He has fallen head over heels in love with the perfect woman. She knows all about the wrestling life, the people in it, and what it takes to succeed. She is his best friend, and the one person he is not able have.

Noelle Reid plays by the rules. She is not the type to invite drama into her life, and from the time her father told her when she first discovered boys that she is not to date a pro-wrestler, she’s never questioned it. Then Jackson starts getting her heart beating faster, and stealing every thought she had.

What if the one man she’s not supposed to love is the only man she ever really trusted? Now she has to decide between being the perfect daughter that she has always been, and finally putting herself and her life first and allowing herself to love Jackson.

Excerpt

She stood on her toes and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her to return the kiss, and the moment she was in his arms she felt safe. This is where she wanted to be. Right there, with him. She was going to trust him. She felt her body tremble, and her lips quiver at the sweet intensity of his lips.

His hips nudged hers and was able to feel his need for her. That stirred things inside her that she could no longer ignore. She reached down between them and put her hand on his erection that was pressing against her belly. He groaned and tilted his head back. She gave him a squeeze. This was such a big moment for them, and god, did she want to be with him but wasn’t ready to declare her true feelings yet. All she knew for sure was, she wanted him, and didn’t couldn’t wait any longer.

“Noelle,” he said barely above a whisper, “Are you ready for your third birthday present?”

She tilted her chin up so she can look at him. She saw the heat in his blue eyes. “Is it you?”

He gave her a sexy smile that made all sorts of places tingle. “You’ve got to unwrap me first.”

EXCERPT

“Noelle, I love you.” Jackson admitted.

She could no longer hide the tears, “I’m sorry. I’m still so unsure.”

“I can’t deny what I am feeling. This is the real thing. Here, I’ll prove it.” He took her hand placing it over his heart. His chest was rock hard but more importantly she could feel his heart pounding. “This is new to me. I have never felt so out of control and happy at the same time. Remember when I did my first promo and you asked if I was scared? I made you feel my heart? It wasn’t pounding like it is now. I’m not pretending. I’m forever changed because of you. I cannot sit back and hear about anymore Mr. Evil’s in your life. I want to be the guy in your life, and I’ve never been more afraid or sure of anything in my life. YOU. ARE. IT. FOR. ME. I don’t know how else to get you to believe me.” She still had her hand on his heart and closed her eyes when Jackson put his hand over hers. At that moment she knew this was bigger than the both of them. She looked up at him and saw the tears in his eyes too. She trusted him and knew that he was taking a huge risk. The way his heart pounded told her as much as well. “I love you.” He said it again.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and can never imagine living anywhere else. I have been married for 12 years and have a beautiful creative 6 year old. I have been writing since I could put sentences together. I always thought that I would go the traditional route of publishing, and once I discovered the Indie world, I got hooked.

I am inspired everyday by people, music and other books. I love it when a book I read stays with me long after I read it. If one of my books can do that for one other person, that will make me happy.

Perfect Match is my debut novel. It’s about a woman learning to let go of her past and trust in what her future can bring.

Because You’re Mine Blog Tour – Hosted by Just Booked

Madison Waters knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. She was already working for one of the most prestigious law firms in Boston as a research assistant, and in a few short months, she would finally graduate from Harvard and collect her law degree. Everything Madison had worked so hard for, was well within her reach.

But when Madison has to take an unexpected trip back home, she’s blindsided by the one thing she’d never planned on.

Desperate to escape his wicked past, Holden Brooks moved to Madison’s hometown five years ago. It was a struggle at first, but he eventually overcame the demons that nearly destroyed him back in Texas. Holden is in a good place in his life and love is the very last thing on his mind.

Everything changes the moment their two paths collide and they soon find out, fate has a plan of its own.

You never know when love will come along and change…everything.

Review by: Kayla for Sunshine & Mountains

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the story itself. Madison is a law student and research assistant for Boston’s prestigious McMillan and Shaw law firm. She’s smart, she’s beautiful and she knows what she wants in life. Madison’s worked hard to be where she is, and nothing is going to stop her from getting what she wants. Just weeks before graduation, her father has a heart attack, and Madison has to take an extended trip home, her perfectly planned life is threatened to be changed when she meets Holden Brooks. Holden is a hot cowboy who has a troubled past. Holden’s been in trouble, fought his demons, and left everything back in Texas and now he works helping Madison’s parents with their property and helps at his cousin Archer’s bar at night. He’s happy with his life and then Madison walks into his life and turns it upside down. He can’t get enough of her and she is scared to death of what will happen if she is with Holden.

I think that K.Langston did a wonderful job for her debut book! It had the perfect amount of romance, drama and reality. I had a book hangover after I read this.

It was truly an awesome read and I think everyone should get a copy of it when it comes out.

Thank you K.Langston for writing such a great book! I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends!!!

I was given an ARC of because you’re mine from Sunshine and Mountains review for an honest review.

I’ve worked in property management for the last decade. Married to my soul mate and gentle giant for 12 years, the man has never been, nor will he ever be, the romantic type. However, we still have a very passionate marriage and we love each other fiercely. We have two beautiful children who drive us absolutely insane, but we love them dearly and we are certain our life would suck without them.

I love music. I have a broad range of taste so I listen to all genres, but I love country the most.

Most of my friends and family will tell you that I’m a bit loud. I take that back…I’m very LOUD. I tend to always say what others are thinking and I never sugarcoat anything.

Writing has given me the release I’ve been craving all of these years. An outlet to express myself the way I want to, the way I need to. It’s like therapy for me and my life was forever changed the moment I typed that first line.

The House of Crimson and Clover Series

The House of Crimson and Clover series follows the lives of two New Orleans families: the august and mysterious Sullivans and Deschanels. The Sullivans, a family of hard-working Irish lawyers, have come from nothing and built a life they can be proud of. The Deschanels, a moderately wealthy family who became extremely wealthy by siding with the North during the Civil War, betraying their people. Both families have a dark and rich history, full of secrets, and full of surprises.

The books in this series unravel the stories of both the individuals as well as the families themselves, discovering the ways these families and their secrets intersect, and each story pulls us even farther into their stories.

While the series is meant to be treated as one long narrative, each book can stand-alone and be enjoyed without having read the other books.
