Gotta say I love the writing style presented in this book. Fun, sassy, witty, and heated. I loved it! I enjoyed the inner turmoil Olivia dealt with while deciding on Cash or Nash. I was all over Cash from the get go. Nash was taken! By her relative. The ending surprised me. I could read this book again and still not see it coming. I'm looking forward to book two!

This was a romance novel unlike any that I have read before. I'm not entirely sure if that's a good or bad thing yet, but I'll let you know once I decide. I bought it thinking "Oh twins. Love triangle. This'll be deliciously scandalous and I will be very content." While all these are true, it didn't go exactly according to plan. Twice I nearly put down the book and stopped reading but I soldiered on and I'm so glad I did. I'm glad that the ending wasn't rushed and that there's a second (maybe even a third?) book in the series because, shit, man I want to know what happens and watch them get together and have beautiful children.
The writing, however, made me want to die at some parts. It read like a mediocre quizilla author's writing. That being said, this was one of those times that the writing takes a backseat to the plot and the steam and the amazingness that is this book.
Spoiler
the first being when the unknown twin and Olivia sleep together after he WAITS IN HER APARTMENT UNINVITED and the second time was when Nash fuckin' kissed her and made her cry. Like, hello rape-y much? I swear, that's why I take Krav Maga. So I can fend off really sexy twins that seem kinda rape-y. Obviously.The writing, however, made me want to die at some parts.

Hmmm. I don’t know about this one. The damn cliffhanger though will probably get me to read the next one.

OMG Hot sexy guys, twists and turns, betrayals, and forgiveness. This book has everything that a romance novel should and more.
Plot: This book starts out hilarious. Olivia Townsend is at her friends bachelorette party when she is told to strip the stripper for the bride. Now Olivia is a little on the shy side and though not innocent she is a little naive in that area. She goes up to Cash and starts removing his shirt only to find out later that he was in fact not the stripper but the owner of the club. How humiliating. Cash Davenport finds her cute, sexy, and amusing. The next day she meets her cousin's boyfriend only to think its Cash and yells at him only to find out it's not him....its his twin Nash Davenport. Nash and Cash are total opposites. Cash has a tatoo, rides a motorcycle, and owns a club. Nash is an intern at a prestigious law firm, nice guy, looks like he belongs in a county club. Olivia falls in love with both twins only to find out a secret that makes a little more and less complicated. Who will she trust with her heart when both betray her...sort of? God I loved this book. The twist at the end though a tiny bit predictable was still a lot of fun.
I loved Olivia. She was innocent but not overly innocent. She was determined, she could take care of herself, and she had a backbone when she needed one. She was a little naive and let her cousin get away with too much but I liked the fact that for the most part she could take care of herself. Now the yummy boys on the other hand were a handful. Cash was the typically bad-boy type. He is sexy and dangerous but oh so hard to resist. Nash was a little too stereotypical of the son that tries to make his parents proud by becoming a lawyer and having the perfect girlfriend. Until he meets Olivia and that all goes up in smoke.
I loved this book the twist made it interesting, the sex scenes were steamy, and romantic at the same time. The characters were well rounded and not stereotypical damsel in distress and bad boy/good son. I loved the cover drool.

When author M. Leighton asked me if I wanted to read and review Down To You before release date, I immediately said yes and made my friends green with envy. I might have rubbed it in that I was reading it before release date and became a child on twitter with "nahnahnah" and " neinerneinerneiner" being tweeted to them. I apologize for my actions, but I don't apologize for my excitement.
Let me warn readers right off the bat -- you will not be able to choose Team Cash or Team Nash. It is just not possible for your heart to choose. With that being said, can you imagine how Olivia felt having to choose? I felt for the girl. I wanted to help her so much. Let us go over the details of characters first.
OLIVIA: Shy but won't-take-crap-from-mean-people heroine. She is thrown into a love triangle she does not see coming. Refuses to settle for a bad boy again. Looking for the good guy that will treat her right, but seems to always fall for the bad boys. Can also make kicking cocktails because she is one great bartender.
CASH: Sexy, tattooed bar owner of Dual. Use to be the high school bad boy and screw up of the family. Can make a woman drool from 5 paces and likes to flirt with women. Doesn't have a close relationship with his twin brother -- or does he?
NASH: The clean cut twin of Cash who is one hell of a lawyer-to-be. Dating Olivia's rich and spoiled cousin. Instantly attracted to Olivia and flirts with her every chance he can. Agrees to Olivia's terms of not acting on the flirtations in respect to her cousin. While he is the good boy of the family, he also harbors secrets that could crumble his good-guy image.
When Olivia is attending her friends party, Cash walks into the room to announce that their stripper has arrived. Before he can make the announcement, the girls rush him and assume he is the stripper. The girls convince Olivia to be the one to relieve him of his clothes. She is hesitant and shy at first, but with Cash daring her on, she quickly gets into it. Before she makes it to his pants though, the real stripper walks in and Olivia figures out the mistake. She is embarrassed and humiliated but just drunk enough that she hopes she won't remember it morning. Unfortunately, she wakes with a hangover and dirty thoughts of Cash. She walks into her kitchen the next morning and sees her cousin with her boyfriend. When she looks over to her cousins boyfriend, she gets a shock. He looks exactly like Cash and accuses him of what happened. Her cousin laughs when she realizes Olivia has just been introduced to the twin brother of Cash. Her boyfriend is named Nash and he is the complete opposite of Cash.
Seriously, how is a girl not suppose to fantasize about two hot twin brothers who happen to flirt with her?
Oh there is a plot involved that does involved murder, mobs, and actual heartache, but the guy factor alone is enough to keep a reader going.
I will give you a hint to this book though. Just when you think you have your decision of who Olivia should be with, you are wrong. Don't argue with me! You. Are. Wrong! Also, pay attention to the smallest of details that the author provides in the narration and such. It does mean something and is in no way words to fill pages to make a word count. Again, everything you think will happen will be in the wrong and you will have plenty of jaw dropping moments that you will have bruises on your chin by the end of the book. Also be prepared for an ending that will be open for another installment.
Down To You brought sexiness and hot guys Down To Me and I want more!!! I am just going to make my own Team Hashtag for this one and start using #TeamCNash !!!

Frumpy farm girl falls for twin brothers... One is dating her snobby cousin that she lives with. The other is the owner of a bar. Both drop gorgeous sexy and quite different, yet the same.
When her snobby cousin goes away for two weeks, she receives a visitor who just walks into her home, wakes her up and she welcomes what he gives her. She isn't sure which twin it was.
Then she gets word that his father has broken his leg so she goes home for the weekend. The free from commitment twin follows her and they have a wild, sexy weekend. When she gets back to town, it all unravels and the truth ends up sending her in a tailspin and running back home, unsure of what to do and how to handle her feelings for HIM and the situation.
Hhhhmmmm...
Okay, I must admit, I so did NOT see the twin twist coming and when it did, instead of shock, I felt sadness for HIM and was pulling for her to forgive HIM right then and there.
I just wish the book was LONGER... but luckily, book two just came out so I'll go read that now. LOL.

3 Sexy but sometimes Annoying Hearts!
"There's an unsavory term for that- a guy forcing a girl to do sexual things. But what is it they say? You can't rape the willing. And I'd be willing. Oh, how I'd be willing."
REACTION AFTER READING THE BOOK
I had mixed reaction towards this book.
It was definitely drool-worthy!
Those Daveport twins are just S.M.O.K.I.N! :)
But also...
annoying at times well because of Olivia!!
THE GIST
Olivia thinks of herself as a plain and normal college girl. She thinks that no hot guy will find her attractive but that's where she's wrong. Two hot guys are literally throwing themselves at her feet.
Yeah both of them are hot and I can't tell who looks better or who is hotter because they look alike.
You got it right fellas!!
They're twins! Cash and Nash Davenport.
Olivia met Cash when her friend had a bridal shower at a club. What do girls do in bachellorette parties? Of course they hire strippers!! Hot, sexy ones! Cash came in. They immediately assumed he was a stripper. Oliva took on a dare and almost did it until... The real stripper came knocking on their door.
*yeah it was embarassing* turns out Cash was the owner of the bar. *double embarassing!*
Olivia thought that was the end of it. She will never see the hot guy who made her insides squirm with desire. But again, she was soooo wrong! Turns out Mr.Stripper-Wannabe/Bar-owner is her cousin Marissa's boyfriend. She freaked out. And He *the boyfriend* had no clue who she was. Turns out this was not Cash but the twin, Nash.
Now.. Olivia can't help herself but be attacted to both of them. She knew she should stay away from the likes of Cash as he is dangerously a playboy and she got hurt before by one. She likes Nash, because he was safe and nice and seem to be a good guy but obviously, she should steer clear from him too.. because he's attached and to no other than her cousin.
As the story unfolds, more things are revealed. The secret that the Davenport twins have should make her run and hide but she didn't. She was way to attached to leave now.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Olivia
I didn't like her that much.
She was annoying.
She felt so inferior.
She wasn't confident even though she was insanely pretty.
She's pretty much the cliche-ish type of female character. The pretty-girl-who-doesn't-know kind of character and that's annoying as fuck.
To add to that, I hated that she couldn't seem to choose between and Cash and Nash.. *Not that she needs to really.. LOL*
This was actually during that time when someone was feeling her up and she wasn't sure if it was Cash or Nash. And she like decided she didn't really care. *Not that I would blame her anyways. LOL*
Okay I think I'm a bit too hard on Olivia. She's not the worst MC out there. I'd have to just say that. There are more extremely annoying ones out there. I think the reason why I didn't like her was because there was nothing really special about her. There wasn't any "omph" factor or something or whatever its called. She was right. She was plain and ordinary. But she was pretty.
Oh and she was partly stupid too.
How can she not know??????!!!!
Cash/Nash
Oh Holy Sexiness!
Cash and Nash are as different as night and day.
Cash was the bar owner who was more of the outgoing one. You'll immediately know he was the guy who just likes to play and not get attached.
Nash, on the other hand, was the more dependable one *or so it seems*. He had the sense of responsibility. He seems like the type would would treat you right and would make sure you get home safely without scratches on any part of your body. He was the type you'd want to bring home to meet Mommy and Daddy.
Anyhowww... I liked them. Both of them.. Eventhough... It turns out that... Well.. If I say anything about them.. It will really reveal the twist and I don't really want to do that.
I'm just curious though on what.. Oh my gosh.. What did you see in Olivia??? O.o I mean.. Yeah she was pretty. Well I guess that's really how you get attacted to someone right. You don't see their personality first, you see their physical features first before you know who they are.. Anyways.. *i'm just being bitter.. LOL*
ROMANCE:
Olivia + Cash/Nash = Oh Hell That was HOT!!
Yeah the scenes were insanely hot! I had no clude it was going to be that freakin intense.
Definitely not for younger audiences!
When they're not fucking, I kind of like the banter between Cash and Olivia. They look so cute together and Cash makes the cutest comments sometimes.
FINAL VERDICT
Spoilers may be up ahead
The story itself was pretty good. It wasn't common at all except for the MC Olivia. She was so ordinary. There was nothing much about her to like except maybe that she was pretty but that's about it. I actually like her friend Ginger more because she has more character than she has.
The twist.. Well it actually was a little bit unbelievable. Or maybe he was just an insomniac but still. It would be hard for anyone to do that especially if you are talking to the same person wearing a different face or character, you are bound to drop of a hint... unless the other party isn't that observant like with Olivia's case. LOL. She was so clueless it was so funny.
I can't say I saw that twist coming. It was unexpected yes but a little bit not fit for the story. Plus it broke my heart knowing that there really any twins. That annoyed me. Yeah. Don't get mad at me for being annoyed all the time. I just felt that I was sort of deceived. It sort of felt good to have a love triangle with twins involved but it turns out there wasn't really a love triangle in the first place.
Sigh.
Down To You was a short wet-your-panties kind of story. It was good. Just not good enough for me to give it more stars. But I tell you.. If you're just looking for a steamy read.. This is definitely for you.

La manera en que Cash y Olivia se conocen, es digno de recordar y crear precedentes entre ellos, debido a que ella lo confunde con un Boy que les hará un show en una despedida de soltera.
Cuando al día siguiente Olivia lo encuentra en la cocina del departamento de su prima con la que ella está viviendo por no tener dinero para pagar su propio departamento, y le echa la bronca por no recordar lo sucedido la noche anterior, se entera que a quien tiene enfrente es a Nash el novio de su prima y gemelo de Cash.
Cash es el chico malo, que derrite a Olivia y con una sola mirada hace que ella se olvide de que los chicos malos ya no tienen espacio en su vida.
Nash, que con cada gesto que tiene hacia ella, hace que se olvide que es novio de su prima, pues es todo lo que su madre le ha repetido hasta el cansancio que necesita en un hombre.
Pero los gemelos tienen más de un secreto, y Olivia se verá involucrada

been loving stories about bartending and owners trope, this one took it on another level cause it was like that one book about deception. love the twists on this one, even tho I've already seen it coming, it isn't hard to anticipate along with the FMC to know who is who.
