Down to You (The Bad Boys, #1)

On my second attempt at reading this book, I am happy to report that I managed to finish it this time. However, it wasn't exactly a thrilling reading experience for me.
A few thougts.
1. I will admit that Cash and Nash had moments of hotness. However, they all too often came off as rather stilted and one dimensional.
2. Although some of her snarky comments were amusing, i really did NOT like Olivia. Like, at all. For for too many reasons to get into in this short review. Suffice it to say that it would have been impossible for me to truly love this book because of her annoying ass.
3. The supposed 'twist'?! Pretty damn laughable if you ask me. I saw it coming almost from page one. Maybe if I hadn't figured it out so early on, the story would have been more enjoyable. As it was, I was basically just sitting there wondering how long it would take them to let the cat out of the bag.
I know that i am definitely in the minority here, but I was less than impressed. So because of that, i don't plan on continuing with the series.

"Excited to start this. I NEED a book to knock my socks off and get me out of my reading slump. *whispers* Though I think I know what the big "twist" will end up being."

"I feel like I have read a version of this story many times before. And Olivia is annoying the heck out of me."

*breaks into a happy dance*
Thank goodness I'm not alone!!! :P
This book is actually a pretty much exact copy of an historical by Johanna Lindsey called Tender is the Storm. Good and Bad male twins and a murder to avenage and all! lol
Thanks for the honest review Holly :)

i did not like Olivia at all too! It was that bad that I could not finish the book...
I am struggling finishing this. Reading this definitely didn't help! haha! so bored.
I am glad that I am not the only one who did not like her. I am reading Up to Me now and my opinion hasn't changed. I can read about Cash all day though...
I've started staying away from highly squealed over books just so I won't be disappointed. :)
