Broken. Shattered. Destroyed.
Healing seems impossible.
Moving on…
Unbearable.
I can’t let go of the past. The overwhelming guilt won’t let me. I fight the pain every single day but it’s not getting any easier to carry, and there are days when I wonder if I will ever find happiness.
Or if I even deserve it.
Determined to endure my misery alone, I’ve pushed everyone out of my life, including my best friend, Linc. Now he’s back and he won’t leave without a fight. He’s tearing down my walls and forcing me to face what I’ve kept buried for so long. Because of him, I feel like I can finally breathe again, and there’s a sliver of hope weaving its way into my heart.
Will it be enough to save me from the darkness that threatens to drown me?
Love isn’t always easy.
But it’s always worth it.

Have you ever wanted something with everything in you, but you let fear talk you out of it? Let fear tell you not to try, don’t rock the boat, you’ll fail? K. Langston’s new release Sylvie is an incredibly raw and real story of a girl and a boy – best friends forever – and their heartbreaking and painful roadmap to forgiveness and love after longing, fear and the inexperience of youth had put them on another course. I was immersed from page one in this beautiful journey of the human heart – past and present.“Mama says love doesn’t always need a reason, it speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.”
Sylvie Dawson (h) and Lincoln/Linc Matthews (H) became forever friends one afternoon in grade school. Thick as thieves, these two would grow up intuitively accepting each other and learning all there is to know about each other, always there for one another. As the years pass and feelings grow it’s easy to listen to the little voice telling them not to jeopardize their friendship with romantic entanglement. It wouldn’t be until Sylvie meets another man while starving for affection and belonging, that Linc would realize his mistake in listening to his fears. Sylvie’s inability to tell Linc how she really feels plays right into the attention and affection Dean Winters is paying her. Lost to the novelty of lust and new love it would be years before she realizes her mistake in listening to her fears – letting them lead her away from Linc.
“There are moments that mark our lives. Moments when we realize nothing will ever be the same and time is divided into two parts. Before and after.”
So. Many. Feels. This story is an agonizing yet stunning story of young love unrealized, lost and then regained. The multifaceted characters of Sylvie, Dean and Linc never failed to take my breath away, make me sob or delight me. That feeling of impending heartache and doom killed me as I watched Linc and Sylvie succumb to the fears of ‘what if this doesn’t work’ and turn away from their feelings before they ever took a chance. I felt like I was watching an accident knowing I could do nothing to stop it – eyes wide open waiting for impact unable to look away knowing there’d be carnage. I understood why, they’re both so young and afraid to lose the friendship they have, but as I watched Sylvie fall in love with Dean a piece my heart died and I ached for both Linc and Sylvie knowing this was the beginning of the end – in so many different ways. Add in that Sylvie truly loves Dean in a different but no less important way than Linc and then the complexities of the story starting to unfold through carefully paced flashbacks and I was devastated. The narrative is so purposeful and focused, the feelings are a tangible entity, almost another character in their depth and sentiment; I spent a lot of time grabbing my chest, shaking my head and cursing at my kindle. Sylvie is so lost in life, unsure what she’s supposed to do next, so anxious over the possibility that Linc will never love her. Dean arrives in a perfect storm of Sylvie’s emotions and whether it’s meant to be or not she falls for a broken man that hides his problems all too well – for the time being. The triangle of anger, hurt, love and longing from these three as they push and pull each other apart shows the insecurities, guilt and shame each of them carry in different and harmful ways. Ultimately, Sylvie is not just a second chance love story, it’s a LIFE story. It’s ugly and beautiful and hard to take; tender and romantic and tear-jerking. A story of regretting your choices, not letting the past define your future, learning from your mistakes, forgiving yourself and taking a chance on the biggest gift of all – love…even when you think you don’t deserve it.
“Sometimes, the most important lessons in life are the ones we learn the hard way.”
An evocative love story that seemingly died before it lived only to see that love always prevails if only you have the courage to believe in yourself, it left me euphoric and drunk on the power of a tale I didn’t expect and adored all the more for its raw heartfelt messages. A love hard fought…and won.
“I swear, every time our lips touch I can taste the next sixty years of my life.”

The Long Way Home edition by K Langston Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
Sylvie is one of those kinds of books that I find it very hard to say too much about without giving away too much.
Told first person, almost entirely from the point of view of the title character, the book opens up with Sylvie standing over the body of a man who, though it seems he's taken his own life, it's quite clear that she holds herself responsible.
It's that guilt that sets the scene for everything that follows, interspersed with flashbacks that gradually build a picture explaining why she feels that way.
Beyond the guilt though, there's strength. Strength in accepting consequences and making the most of things. Holding to convictions in the face of adversity, and sometimes, that can be part of the problem. If your convictions are telling you that you aren't deserving of forgiveness, how is moving on even possible.
A tumultuous emotional journey, Sylvie by K. Langston made me feel like the author was baring part of her very soul with her readers, and while I may never know how much fact was woven in with the fiction, I couldn't help but be moved by the sincerity with which Sylvie's emotive trials wafted from the page to my heart.
Without a doubt, a story that will stay with me for a long time to come.
I don't care for stories that go back and forth from present to past. But with that being said, I fell in love with this book! Broken Sylvie finally let's Linc, her best friend from childhood and has always loved her, into her heart. She was able to truly trust for the first time and was able to heal her soul and realize that she was good enough! This is a must read!
It's so hard to put into words how this book makes you feel. It's got all the feels. I loved Linc, he was such a strong,understanding and lovable H. I adored Caroline. Sylvia, she's one of the toughest h's I've ever read about. I've cried throughout this entire book. Some happy tears some sad ones. This was a fantastic read. If you want to feel drawn into the lives of the story,read this book...
Sylvie is a heartbreakingly beautiful story about a seemingly meek southern woman, who is in all actuality one of the strongest women out there. All she wants to do is whatever is best for her family. I would love to say so much more about this story & Sylvie herself, but I am afraid I would give too much away. This is a MUST one-click read!!!! Thank you, K. Langston, I will forever be a fan!!!
Loved Linc so much. His unending love for Sylvie was so endearing. This story will just gut you but it will also make you believe in true love. Well written and makes you feel like you know these characters and are living the story with them. This will be a reread for sure.
This book has soooo many feeling in it, it’s hard to put into words. Every girl needs a “Linc” in her life!! I can relate to a lot of this story as a part of the relationship that Sylvie had with Dean rings true to me. I totally felt her pain , confusion, desire to help fix what she couldn’t fix for Dean. Most of all, I’ve felt the guilt of not admitting your true feelings, then living in hell because you think you deserve it for your bad choices. Terrific story, 10 Stars!!
Emotional. Heartbreaking. Angsty.
Sylvie is messy and unpredictable and downright painful at times. But that's life. It isn't tidy and neat and orderly. It's raw and uncensored and wreaks complete havoc on your emotions and tests your limits. Just like Sylvie. It's true and raw and real. And so darn worth it all to get to that beautiful end. To the tenderness and love.
K. Langston has proven she can write anything with this one.
One click. You won't be disappointed.
