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?




Meet the Main Characters of DOWN TO YOU


Charlie Hunnam as Cash/Nash
Cash / Nash Davenport, twins

Age: 25

Reminds me of: Charlie Hunnam of Sons of Anarchy

Physical description:

His short hair is dark blond and his face is chiseled perfection. I can’t tell what color his eyes are as he scans the room, but I can see that they’re dark.
When I stop in front of him, I have to look up.  My five and a half feet of height is nearly a foot shorter than his towering frame. 
Up close, I see that his eyes are brown.  Dark, dark brown.  Nearly black.
Sinful.

Quote that best describes Cash’s personality: 

“I promise you won’t regret it.  I promise to make you feel things and enjoy things you never even thought of before.  I’ll make every night the best night of your life until you say it’s over.”

Quote that best describes Nash’s personality:

“Olivia, you’re beautiful, smart, funny.  Any man would want you.”

Quality (Cash):

He goes after what he wants, not matter what.

Vice (Cash):

Jack Daniels.

Quality (Nash):

He’s honorable.

Vice (Nash):

Focus is work



Kendall Jenner as Olivia Townsend
Olivia Townsend

Age: 21

Reminds me of: Kendall Jenner

Physical description:

Damn, she’s beautiful!
Between this girl’s black hair, her bright probably-green eyes, her banging little body and the way she seems a tiny bit shy, I’m wishing we were alone in this room together.

Quote that best describes her personality:

“I’m just glad I didn’t pee all over myself.”

Quality:

Grounded.

Vice:

She has a penchant for the bad boys.

Information for UP TO ME (The Bad Boys, #2):

 Released: January 4, 2013

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.
