(Slight update on the rating - after much discussion, I begrudgingly had to realize that I downgraded other books for some of the same infractions that occurred in this book. Therefore, as an effort to level the playing field, it is now 4 stars, however, still worth it.)

The author didn't waste any time getting into the story. This is my first book by M. Leighton, but now I know I'll read more. Especially because "Down to You" has a cliff hanger. Even if it didn't, there are still lots of ends that I would like to see tied up and I can't wait to see how it happens. Loose ends with Marissa, the Mob, Taryn, and of course Nash, Cash and Olivia. I didn't know this wasn't a stand alone book when I started reading it, and that was slightly disappointing because I don't like waiting for sequels, (which at this point I have no clue when it will be released), and also because I wasn't anticipating having to wait while reading the book. I'm also relieved there is more to the story and that's because I don't like being left hanging and I wasn't done with these characters yet.

I don't want to go into the plot because I think the book description sums it up pretty well...except it leaves out all the details, which is a good thing because there is a twist. I was a little leery of the love triangle thing, not because I don't like love triangles (I'm pretty ambivalent towards them), but because I was afraid the story was going to veer into a back and forth of "who should I be with, which one should I choose?" in whiny voice ad nauseam. This is what usually makes up a love triangle, but I didn't want that to be the focal point of this story, nor did I want it to continue for most of the book because for Pete's sake, Cash and Nash are BROTHERS!, and that's just gross! How could Olivia justify a continued back and forth to the brothers when they found out, or to the readers who (in my case) only give a few free passes before wanting to throw the kindle to the wall? Think Kiera and Kellan in Thoughtless, which I loved by the way, but I was ready to strangle Kiera by the end. Ok, maybe I'm not as ambivalent towards love triangles as I thought. However, before the story devolved into this, the plot thickens and there's a twist. I won't spoil it for everyone, but I will say I did figure it out before the big "reveal".

I read this book in a day, which I appreciated because the author didn't waste time on superfluous descriptive details of scenery or over the top monologues, although make no mistake she doesn't make you miss them either. You get a break from ruts because of the alternate viewpoints, so you get just enough reflection from the characters without slowing down the story. I also appreciated the author's ability to write some very steamy scenes. She doesn't go overboard and write too many (although there are PLENTY), and she also doesn't unnecessarily draw them out (which can get boring and overshadow the story).

Definitely worth a read and looking forward to book number 2. ...more

This is a story of one girl, two brother’s one love triangle…that’s not a triangle after all.

Olivia Townsend is 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. But her life becomes complicated when she meets Cash and Nash Davenport. They’re Twins and are more than she bargained for.

Cash is Cash lol he is your everyday sexy as sin bad ...more
