Down to You [Kindle Edition]

M. Leighton (Author)

Book Description

New York Times and USA Today Best Seller


Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
(NOT appropriate for younger readers)


The scorching tale of one girl and two brothers in 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 must do. Plain and simple. Black and white.

But clear becomes complicated when she meets Cash and Nash Davenport. They're brothers. Twins.

Cash is everything she's always wanted in a guy. He's a dangerous, sexy bad boy who wants her in his bed at any cost. He turns her insides to mush and, with just one kiss, makes her forget why he's no good for her.

Nash is everything she's ever needed in a guy. He's successful, responsible and intensely passionate. But he's taken. Very taken, by none other than Marissa, Liv's rich, beautiful cousin. That doesn't stop Olivia from melting every time he looks at her, though. With just one touch, he makes her forget why they can never be together.

Black and white turns to shades of gray when Olivia discovers the boys are hiding something, something that should make her run as far and as fast as she can. But it's too late to run. Olivia's already involved. And in love. With both of them.

Both brothers make her heart tremble. Both brothers set her body on fire.

She wants them both.

And they want her.

How will she ever choose between them?


About Michelle: I love coffee and chocolate, even more so when they are combined. I'm convinced that one day they could be the basis for world peace. I also love the color red and am seriously considering dying my hair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't skip this one!!! September 27, 2012

WOW! I went into this book with high hopes, and I am happy to say that it certainly didn't disappoint! My only complaint is that I SO wish it were longer. Luckily, there are still a lot of unturned stones and the epilogue reveales so much more to be told....which leads me to believe that there are future books coming (yay!!). Also, I LOVED the alternating point-of-views. I really think it added to the story, and I loved hearing what each character was thinking!

Who can resist a book with a sexy bad boy (yumm) and a sexy, smart good-guy (oh, yes!). Not me! Olivia has fallen for both of the twin brothers and throughout the book, I couldn't decide if I were rooting Team Cash or Team Nash. I understand why Olivia was so torn about having feelings for the both of them. And Olivia? She's great! I found myself laughing at/with her character many times. Oh, and it should also be mentioned that the s*x scenes were absolutely super HOT!

I think I've just started a new relationship with the author, M. Leighton! I'll be keeping my eye out for future reads for sure!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ugh! September 27, 2012

By Angie

Here I am again going against the grain. I'm going to try hard not to give anything away but still explain my low rating. I didn't like the cheating and dishonesty in this book. From the book description you know stuff happens between Olivia and Nash, her cousin's boyfriend. I just don't feel like we were given a good enough reason for the cheating. Olivia's friend even encourages her to go after Nash. The insta lust and the cousin being a witch with a capital B doesn't make it ok. I don't condone cheating but in the book "Thoughtless" I felt we were given an idea on how it could happen. The characters had the same immediate attraction as in this book but they also had a building friendship over a period of time that turned into something else. We didn't have that here.

(possible spoilers):
A huge secret is revealed that really ruined this book for me. It wasn't the secret that ruined it but one of the character's actions. His actions were deceitful and hurtful. It made the cheating way worse. I just don't know how people fall in love with these type of characters. (end possible spoiler)

Another thing that I found distasteful is Olivia had no idea which twin crawled into her bed for sex. She didn't care because she desired them both. She eventually finds out who it was. I don't mind love triangles especially when I'm having a hard time picking one over another. But if your going to have sex with one of them I think it might make it more meaningful to know who you are sleeping with. That's just me.

The writing was good and the sex scenes were hot. I just like my characters a little more honest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy hotness! September 23, 2012

By Courtney Cole, Author

Format:Kindle Edition

I will just be honest and say that I might have licked my computer screen a few times when looking at the cover. Kidding. Or am I? :)

Down to You was a perfect book-- it had two hot guys, one feisty girl and a plot twist that snapped my head back. I love those kinds of books.

I honestly can't say much because I don't want to reveal anything. However, if you like witty dialogue, sexy men, funny, independent women as the main character and just an all-around great book, then you should pick this one up right now.

It will make you laugh, it will make you hold your breath, it will make you root for Olivia. And Cash. And Nash. And then it will twist you inside out because you know that she can't have both.

This is my new favorite M. Leighton book. It has all the makings for another New York Times Bestseller!
