Down to You (The Bad Boys #1)
by
M. Leighton (Goodreads Author)
The scorching tale of one girl, two brothers and a love triangle…that’s not. Olivia Townsend is nothing special. She’s just a girl working her way through college so she can return home to help her father run his business. She’s determined not to be the second woman in his life to abandon him, even if it means putting her own life on hold. To Olivia, it’s clear what she mu...more

This seems to be the “it” book of the moment and now I know why! Its a wonderful, addictive read that will have your heart fluttering, have you fanning yourself, with just the right amount of angst and a really cool twist... oh, and twins, REALLY HOT, panty-melting twins :) (see casting pics above and below)
“Did you think of my lips when he kissed you?… Do you still want me? Because if you do, I’m all yours.”
Hmmm, I’m getting ahead of myself here…. k, about the panty-melting twins. Olivia i...more
So this book had a few teeny, tiny, flaws. The main character started out as a klutzy (yes, she did trip and fall right off the bat...shocking!), insecure person and said things like, "I'm Olivia, Marissa's slightly dull cousin." I was able to forgive that because she also said this, "I want to paper cut her. On every square inch of her body. And then roll her in salt water." Why, I do believe that Ruthless Bella just kicked Mousy Bella to the curb.

She’s determined not to be the second woman in his life to abandon him, even if it means putting her own life on hold. To Olivia, it’s clear what she must do. Plain and simple. Black and white.

I want to start by saying that I enjoyed Down to You. I really did. It just was not as spectacular as I thought it would be given the 5 star reviews out there.
“I promise you won’t regret it. I promise to make you feel things and enjoy things you never even thought of before. I’ll make every night the best night of your life until you say it’s over.”
Cash Davenport is the quintessential bad boy. He hot, he has tattoos, he owns a club and he is everything Olivia needs to stay...more

On my second attempt at reading this book, I am happy to report that I managed to finish it this time. However, it wasn't exactly a thrilling reading experience for me.
A few thougts.
1. I will admit that Cash and Nash had moments of hotness. However, they all too often came off as rather stilted and one dimensional.
2. Although some of her snarky comments were amusing, i really did NOT like Olivia. Like, at all. For for too many reasons to get into in this short review. Suffice it to say that it w...more

It's not what you want, but what you need. Would you be able to choose?
Holy.Smokes!
I found a new author and I am in love!
Olivia Townsend is just like any other girl trying to make something of her life. She goes to college, works on the weekends and helps take care of her father. She's just plain old Olivia- to herself that is. Definitely not to twin brothers Nash and Cash Davenport. Definitely not the them.
After briefly meeting Olivia on separate occas...more

I love it when I have nothing but fun reading a book and that’s exactly what happened reading Down to You. This book is SEXY and smart, loaded with sexual tension, fun witty banter, and nice HOT spice! There’s enough drama and mystery to keep you turning the pages quickly to see what happens next. I dare you not to have fun reading this!
Cash and Nash are twins, they look exactly alike and are completely hot. There are two! Gosh, when you wear one out, hmm.....

Olivia is a bartender/student who lands a job tending bar for the very sexy Cash Davenport. She is drawn to him and all of his 'bad-boy' qualities way more than she knows she should be. To make matters even hotter, Cash has a twin brother Nash, to whom Olivia finds herself equally attracted. Nash is the epitome of goodness; the type of guy Olivia should be with. Problem there...more

“OHMIGOD, HE WAS SO EFFIN’ HOT!”
I can’t even remember who this quote was about, but it totally didn’t matter because this book has two AMAZING hotties!
Bad boy Cash – “Cocky, sexy, charming. Untamed. Rebellious. Heartbreaker”
And his twin brother, the ‘good boy’ Nash – “Incredibly handsome, charming, obviously intelligent, successful, grounded, responsible"

I find this book hard to grade. It's very sexy and hot as the cover suggests but the story is kind of a miss. There are three main characters: Olivia, Nash and Cash.
First, Olivia has this faux conflict. She's always gone for the bad boy. Nash is supposedly the nice guy and Cash is the bad boy. I never understand how Olivia makes the differentiation. Nash, for instance, is dating her cousin but constantly flirts with Olivia and may or may not have slept with Olivia under the guise of darkness. H...more

CASH!!!! Can you say Yummm?
I was hooked on Cash from the beginning, Then I found out there was Twins
I seen so many good reviews on this book, and been wanting to read it for awhile. Thought why the hell not, mid as well see what everyone else is talking about. What the hell was I thinking. I should have started this one long ago.
Cash and Nash are twins. One is a bad boy and the other is trying to become a lawyer. I must say I love Cash the best. He is a bad boy, My god he is a bad boy ....more

Ooooooh myyyyyy GOOOOOOOOOD!
What a trip and a twist!
I can not believe I did not read this sooner! I need to be punished... Perhaps on a 4wheeler, or against a shower wall, or on the hood of the car!
Olivia, while at a bachelorette, meets Cash at a club through the most delicious way I can think off... By undressing a stranger because of a simple misunderstanding. And what a hot piece to confuse for a stripper!
“If he’s the stripper, then who are you?”
“I’m Cash Davenport. I own the club.”

I read this book in less than a day because it was so good. It had some hot and steamy places, which I loved, and it had an interesting twist, which I loved. The ending had me screaming in my head, but it is good in a way because now I know there will be another book to continue the story; I just hope it is soon. I hate having to wait for the story to end. This is definitely a book worth reading. I love M. Leighton's writing.

Olivia's in college working her way towards an accounting degree and working at a bar when she meets Cash, a club owner and obvious bad boy. There is an immediate attraction but she has sworn off bad boys. Imagine her surprise when she meets her cousin's boyfriend, Nash...that's right, Cash's twin....and the good boy but he's taken...or is he?

As always when I think of disastrous relationships,I think of Gabe.Cash reminds me a lot of him. Cocky,sexy,charming.Untamed.Rebellious.Heartbreaker.Fun-loving,exciting,and ultimately,unfaithful.
That's Olivia's opinion of Cash hurt before from bad boys so even though she is attracted to him she is afraid to do something.She was I like bad boys so I prefered Cash from page 1 until the end of the book.

It's rare if I am rendered speechless by a book. I kid you not, for the last quarter of this book, my mouth was hanging open. I mean, I had several different theories of how this story was going to play out. Some were close, some not at all. All I can say is that this book left me stunned, overheated, and wanting MORE!

It's no lie: Down To You has been hyped up to the max. Having read and really liked M. Leighton's The Wild Ones, I figured I would give this one a go, even if it's an adult romance. While it didn't live up to my expectations because of some issues with the romance, it was, nonetheless, an enjoyable and very entertaining read with steamy scenes, swoon-worthy boys, and a great plot.

Down to You was a unique, refreshing, and very addictive read! I couldn't put it down! If you think that this is a story of a woman involved in a predictable love triangle with twins that will end in a ménage, you are soooo wrong! You have to read the book to find out more. What I loved best is that it is a story I haven't read before and it was told from the point of view of all three characters. It also had hot sex scenes which are a must for me! I CANNOT WAIT for part 2 of the series. Loved i...more

Thoughts: I really liked the story. It was a really fast paced read. I wanted to read it as a light read but it was so much better then I expected. There were some lines where I thought the author could have phrased it differently and some teeny tiny flaws. There are a couple jaw dropping revelations which will prevent you from putting the book down. I really liked the personalities of the characters. I liked how the characters developed throughout the story. I remember...more
