Pro-basketball star Houston Carrington likes his life just the way it is: fame, fortune and freedom. But Kelly Charleston tempts the footloose playboy to break his number-one rule—flings without strings. The time he spent in the sexy sports doctor's company is forever seared in his memory…and now she's just signed with his team!

Wary of love, Kelly has managed to steer clear of romantic entanglements. But how could she forget the passionate encounter she shared with this seductive, irresistible Carrington brother? And now that she's under contract with the Texas Cyclones, she's in danger of losing something she swore she'd never give up—her heart. Especially when Houston awakens her fantasy of a fabulous future together.

Because once you've been kissed by a Carrington, no other man will do….

    Kiss By a Carrington

    The along waited book of the Carrington triplets. We first met the triplets in Love in Bloom & Give Love anthology and Linda's story Forbidden Fantasy & Fantasy Fulfilled.
    Kissed by a Carrington is Houston story and you also getting to catch up on Austin & Ashleigh, as well as Dallas & Lanier.

    Pro Basketball star Houston is a confirm bachelor with fame and fortune love his life as it is without commitment. Houston is single, confident, strong and one of the most humble person. Houston is the type of man who knows what and who he wants out of life. He doesn't play game with woman he tell them upfront what the deal is. Houston is surrounding about love and how a man should treat his wife. What Houston wants when he fined that woman who will have his heart he wants her never to doubt him when he is away from each other while he is on the road, he wants his woman to have complete faith in him that she is the only one for him. For Houston he has found that person by way of Dr. Kelly Charleston.

    Kelly fell in love with Houston from a far until one day her dream had come true she had a date with Houston Carrington. Kelly is a big fan of Houston as well and has just become the team doctor. Kelly is careful when it comes to her heart but with Houston in the beginning is careful but learn that the charming Houston came melt her heart.

    There relationship start off with a few bumps but once Houston got his foot out of his mouth then it was smooth sailing until.................yes you guess it another man appears. Well I bet you are wondering who that man is....you will have to purchase the book and find out. Oh once you have been kiss by a CARRINGTON.....................it is not the same.

    I recommend this book you will not be disappointed. I am waiting on Dallas & Lanier story another Carrington who love his woman to no end.

    1.0 out of 5 stars It's like a train wreck...

    I think I read the first book a couple of years ago, so I thought I would give this one a try. It is horrible. I've had my Kindle for 2 months and this is the 20th book I've read, and it is the worst. I keep going back to it, to see if it gets any better and it doesn't. Every other sentence is a catch phrase. They finally made love and I had to laugh out loud at some of the dialogue. "I'm there. I arrived. I'm on top of the mountain looking down. Wow! The sensations coursing through me are amazing." No, Wow, did you just write that....who says that? It's like writing 101. Not only should the author be embarrassed, but the editor, and publisher. Whew I'm so glad I got that off my chest.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2010

    Linda Hudson-Smith writes a wonderful, well developed and very enchanting love story complete with all the fixin's in Texas size portions to make and break relationships, i.e. love, trust, jealousy, dysfunctional families, deceitful friends, and awesome romance. Houston Carrington and Kelly Charleston discovers that love covers a multitude of sins and without understanding and forgiveness, love intended can fade away. Using the exhilarating relationships of Austin and Ashleigh, as well as his parents, strengthens the storyline and makes the love real. It is that same love that shakes the foundation of Houston's "no strings attached and never believing in the happily ever after for him." Kelly, not being one to give up easily, never waivers from the love she wants and desires most with Houston Carrington. Ms. Linda Hudson-Smith's Carrington series is full of love/hate relationships stemming from childhood abuses and friendships; however, it is the strong chemistry between the main and several supporting characters that strengthens and reveals that love "forever" is attainable. I highly recommend this novel!

    2.0 out of 5 stars The dialogue was too "perfect"
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2010

    I didn't like this at all. The dialogue was too perfect to be believable. I am all for having an extensive vocabulary and not reverting to slang but this was crazy. "I wanted to stay away from a caustic situation"... Who speaks like that? The author spent too much time describing the meals and the decor and detailing how expensive the clothes and furniture were it got to be a bit ridiculous. If I had to read about Houston's "luxurious" home one more time I would have screamed. I finished the book because I paid for it not because I enjoyed it. I skipped several pages because they were filled with a bunch of descriptions about scrumptious food and decadent this and tender that. To top it all off, the scene where Dallas told his brothers that he would cover the cost of the extra $100 cost for the cabin upgrades if they were upset about it was just dumb. These brothers just had meetings about spending thousands on diamonds and would actually be upset about 100 dollars. Again, too perfect to be remotely believable. Finally, what woman in her right mind would allow a man to stay with her overnight after her disrespected someone she supposedly loves and would let this fool stay with her after breaking into her home. I love romance and the happily ever after but this was so outside of reality it was funny.

    I really wanted to like this book and actually liked it at the beginning. However, very quickly, Kelly and Houston got on my nerves. After a while, i could not stand any of the characters: the brothers, their wives/girlfriends, or the parents. The book was so bad that I kept thinking maybe this was the author's first book. Everything the 1 and 2-star reviewers said is true. Just skip this.

    A good, sweet storyline. But, some of the wording was kind of stilted. Later episodes are definitely better. An easy read, though.

    I have been trying to read this book for about two weeks now. Which by the way it never takes me this long. It is so boring. I actually stopped reading it before I was half way through. I was at the part where she went to see her parents receive an award and I just couldn't take it any longer.
