Writing this book, I pushed out of my comfort zone.
And I have no regrets.
Every word, every scene, is there for a reason—for the characters and the readers to experience them. To drive them toward that ending. You'll know what I mean.
This is an edgy New Adult novel—with soul and purpose.

Thiiiiiiis boooook. So many feels! Hot, dangerous Leon + sweet, responsible Arriane + one sexy night = the beginning of an incredible romance. As usual, Sunniva Dee has done it again!
What happens when a one night stand with a sexy, dangerous man goes wrong? Arriane, employee at Smother nightclub, hooks up her boss, Leon in a moment of weakness. What the two of them never planned on was that this night would be the beginning an amazing journey.

Leon is so hot, I mean this book is so great ;) Full review once released!
A great book keeps me glued to my seat until the end, and Leon's Way did just that! The characters made laugh, yell, and cry. A roller coaster of emotions filled with highs and lows, but so worth every minute it took to reach the finish line. Leon captured my interest from the beginning, and OMG was he hot!

I liked Leon in Pandora Wild Child. I just didn't like him with Pandora. I was really excited to read Leon's story and it rocked! It took me literally one chapter to fall in love with Leon. His story is dark, edgy, and gripping. It was sad, funny, and crazy at times. I couldn't put it down and to be honest I couldn't get enough. This series is awesome. I love it!!

Wow! Just beta - read Sunniva ' s newest book--a follow-up to Pandora Wild Child (though Leon's book is a stand alone)--and I cannot wait for everyone to really meet Leon!

In this companion book to Pandora Wild Child, Sunniva Dee takes us into Leon's dark and dangerous past, brightened only by his potential future with the only girl he cannot break, Arriane. Leon's history threatens everything and everyone around him, and one decision could cost him everything. Sunniva really pushed the envelope on this book and it really pays off. I was on the edge of my seat during this entire novel. I can't wait to see what she writes next!!

Having read Pandora Wild Child and meeting Leon, I was intrigued by his bad boy personality and would have liked to have learnt more about him. I was so pleased when I learnt that Leon's Way was being released.
Leon is the owner of two clubs and his business skills and the way he treats his employees are second to none. When it comes to his personal life it's a different story completely. He had a tough childhood upbringing and the psychological effects haunts him. He copes with his issues by ha ...more

Leon has a specific taste.
He demands respect and likes things a certain way—his way. He prefers his girls damaged, because damaged is exactly what Leon is inside. For each girl he helps find herself, made stronger by his vehement attention, Leon closes off more and more of his heart. And once his girls are no longer on the same “broken” level as he is, they are no longer of use to him.
Until her.

Here I thought that Pandora was my favorite book of Sunniva's! Then she goes & changes my mind.. She has a habit of doing that with each book that she writes! Lol!

Oh where to start!!! I had wanted to know what the past of Leon had been like after reading Pandora. I knew there was something dark there that caused him to be the way the was.
Sunniva definitely did not disappoint with Leon's Way. I was hooked from the first page!!!
Arriane was perfect for Leon. She was so strong willed and definitely a strong female character. While she did have her flaws, she was able to be the woman he needed to help him in his dark t ...more

I know 19% doesn't seem like a lot but I really did try. I just couldn't bring myself to like Leon, at all. He sought out broken girls and broke them harder and I just couldn't. Obviously he had some horrid back story that I hadn't read about yet but I just didn't think he could redeem himself. ...more

Destiny is a funny thing.
It’s tempting to focus on the scalding chemistry between the title character and his loyal employee Arriane. To discuss how his hot, protective, devil-may-care attitude frustrates and attracts her responsible, calm presence. But that would be doing a disservice to the depth behind that swoon-worthy stare. There’s history there. Hidden secrets and suppressed pain that take this book from sizzling romance to a powerful story so many (too many) can relate to. Leon’s way of ...more

Before I start on my thoughts, let’s just take a moment to look at the cover. Those eyes….sigh. I could just drown in those eyes. Such agony and deep suffering within the depths of those pretty blues. Makes a person just want to reach inside and give that sexy man a hug. You get the feeling that you are about to embark on an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions - and you would be correct. So, let’s give a big round of applause for the Cover Designer!

I just finished Leon's way, and I am pleasantly surprised - I absolutely loved it! My favorite book by Sunniva Dee has been Shattering Halos, but now I just adore this one! (And boy, are they different!)
Arria's exciting journey is fascinating to read, and most of Leon's mannerisms are so sweet, I love that he is such a complex character. Funny thing, as soon as I finished the last page I felt myself immediately considering "Should I start it again from the beginning right away?" And I kinda laug ...more

Adrianne love's him, but he has to find a way to bury his past before they can truly move forward.

I was not expecting to love this book, after reading Pandora Wild Child (and loving it) I got a glimpse of Leon and I was sure I wasn't going to like him. Well let me tell you I was wrong, so so wrong that I even think I loved this book a little bit more than PWC. I even noted something about 20% in on my Kindle that said "I just fell in love with Leon." Now I'm not the type that has to love characters to lo ...more
