Book Description:

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 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?

My rating: 5.5/5

Down to you is one of my favorite read of this early 2013! (Yeah I know it's been only 2 weeks...)

This is the kind of book that you climb into the story and you don't want to come out at all. You know that the end is near, but you wish that maybe after a good night sleep, there will be 50 pages added to the book, so you can enjoyed it a little bit longer!

This summer, I discovered that I loved contemporary romance (Thanks to you Ms. McGuire!) and since then, I discovered a bunch of new authors and great titles that are incrusted into my mind.

Down to you is literally one of these reads, that even after you finished it, you still have all the story, characters, and scenes description in mind. And for my own pleasure and yours too, there's a sequel! YAY!

Olivia wants to start her life anew, since her ex-boyfriend totally screws up on her. Olivia had her share of bad boys in her life and now she wants something different, something better for herself.

Cash and Nash are twin brothers. ~What! Twin Sexy Brothers???~ They are sexy, intelligent and both of them seem to have a little ''dark side'' that every girl craves. Nash is the calm, patient, studious and working type of guy (he wants to become an attorney) and Olivia fell in love with him at first sight. The only problem is that Nash is taken. He's actually dating Marissa, Olivia's cousin.

Cash is the funny, always ready to party and not responsible kind of guy that owns a bar. He seems to be the guy that had plenty of women in his bed and he's the single twin.  He's the ultimate bad boy representation that Olivia' always fell in love with but absolutely don't want to anymore.

Both guys are into Olivia and she doesn't know which one to choose, because she will find out that they both have their positive and negative side.

Which one will she choose?

Big dilemma! Geez just looking at the cover and I am covered of my own saliva! Hard choices!!!!

The plot wasn't something I never read before, two guys are falling for the same girl, and the girl doesn't know which one to choose... We all read that before, but M. Leighton has a great writing hand, fluid style and it was easy to read and enter into Olivia, Cash and Nash world. Plus, M. Leighton has an interesting and kind of twisted mind of her own! One thing for sure is that I didn't see that one coming up, and I was so surprise by the ending, I was ~What the F&*%!~

Seriously, I want the sequel right now.... :(

 

Page Turner: Yes!

Series: Yes! (The Bad Boys, #1)

Stand Alone: Yes but I'm pretty sure you would love to read the sequel because the ending is too wide open for not wanting to read the second book!

Hotness: Cash and Nash OMG Twins.... Yummy! But I got a thing for Bad Boys too so I will go with Cash, if I had to choose!

Proserpine Recommendation: If you love contemporary romance you should totally put this series on your Must-Read list, Next-to-Buy list and TBR pile! M. Leighton is one of my favorite author discoveries of 2013! BUY/BORROW/STEAL, whatever it takes!

Title: UP TO ME 

Series: (The Bad Boys, #2)

Published: January 4, 2013

Format: eBook

Happily ever after doesn’t come easy. But for love, it’s always worth the fight.

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest. Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past threatens to turn their world upside down.

Dangerous people from his father’s world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time. And they’re willing to do anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back. Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this new threat arises. Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well. She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s only option. And this is one of them. If she’s to live, she must trust Cash with her life. But to Olivia, that’s much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart.
