One girl. Twin
brothers. An uncommon triangle.
When college student Olivia Townsend returned
home to help her father run his business, she never imagined a complication
like Cash and Nash Davenport—twin brothers different in so many ways but with
one thing in common: an uncontrollable desire for Olivia.
Cash is dangerous, sexy, and bad to the bone—a
man whose kisses make Olivia forget she is playing with fire. Nash is
successful, reliable and intensely passionate—and already taken. But all it
takes is one soft stroke to make Olivia forget he belongs to someone else.
However, Olivia is in for a surprise. These
boys have a secret that should make her run away as far and as fast as she
can. If only it wasn’t too late. A sensual game between three players has
begun, and it’s about to spin deliriously out of control.

Instead of reading it, I decided to listen to Down to You on audiobook which was
narrated by Kate Rudd and Benjamin L. Darcie. The narration was okay. I wasn’t
wowed by it, but I didn’t hate it either. I liked Kate’s narration better than
Benjamin’s. I felt like it was hard for me to connect with Cash and Nash the
way Benjamin was doing the voice. I wished that Kate could have narrated the
whole story.
I did like how hardworking Olivia was. She was very
dedicated to getting an Accounting degree so she could help her father run his
farm. She has a tendency to over-think things and worry about others before
herself. Stuck with no other viable place to live, Olivia moves in with her snooty
rich cousin Marissa. Marissa happens to be dating Nash, one of the twins. Nash
is interning at the same law firm Marissa works at.
Despite him being in a relationship, he begins to develop feelings
for Olivia. He tries his best to ignore them, but his feelings for her are
stronger than anything he has ever experienced. The same goes for Olivia. She
respects the fact that he is dating her cousin and doesn’t want to come between
them, even though she can’t stand Marissa. Being in the same room with Nash
though calls into question rather she can keep denying how she feels.
"Note to self:
Do not expect coherent thought to be possible when staring at Nash. Motor
skills may be impaired as well. Take necessary precautions.”
Cash owns his own club which is where Olivia first meets
him at. As soon as he locks eyes with her he knows that he has to have her. Olivia on the other hand may be attracted to
him, but she knows he is a bad boy and bad boys inevitably will break your
heart. Plus she hasn’t had the best experience when it comes to picking the
right guy. She soon learns that staying away from someone you’re strongly
attracted to, is hard to do when they are always around.
"It occurs to
me that no matter how much I avoid him, no matter how wrong I know he is for
me. He is going to be nearly impossible to resist."
This book was cute and sexy romance read. It was also
funny. There were several moments that made me laugh and swoon.
It’s
pretty clear that both Cash and Nash are hiding something. And I knew there was a twist, but I wasn’t
expecting a surprise like that. I am not quite sure how I feel about it. I
thought it was a little odd though…maybe it’s just me. Aside from the twist,
the story was a little predictable, but I still enjoyed the story and expect to
read the second book in the series to see what else happens with these
characters.
RATING: 4 out of 5.
