The Bad Boys #4.2
Always With You: Part Two
Part Two
Love didn’t come easy for Cash and Olivia. Forever will come even harder. But true love doesn’t give up, not even when dreams are crushed and reality isn’t quite the fairy tale you expected it to be.
When Olivia married Cash Davenport, it was her dream come true. Cash was everything she wanted and everything she needed, all wrapped up in jet-black eyes and an irresistible smile. She thought since she’d finally found the ideal man, their life would play out like a fairy tale. And, for a while, it did.
Until she found out that another woman, a woman from Cash’s past, has given him the one thing that Olivia can’t—a child.
For Cash, seeing their baby growing inside his wife would only make a perfect marriage more perfect, but all he really needs for true happiness is the love of his life—Olivia. She wants to give him a child, though, and when she can’t conceive, it puts a strain on her that Cash can’t seem to alleviate. That strain explodes when Sophie Marks, Cash’s old flame, shows up at their door with a little girl in tow. A little girl she claims belongs to Cash.
After all this time, can Sophie be trusted? Or has she returned with the sole intent of destroying the only real happiness Cash has ever known.
**This is part one of a three-part serial novel. Each novella will be at least 20,000 words in length. Part two will be available July 1, 2015**

About the author

She relocated to the warmer climates of the South, where she can be near the water all summer and miss the snow all winter. Possessed of an overactive imagination from early in her childhood, Michelle finally found an acceptable outlet for her fantastical visions: literary fiction. Having written over a dozen novels, these days Michelle enjoys letting her mind wander to more romantic settings with sexy Southern guys, much like the one she married and the ones you'll find in her latest books. When her thoughts aren't roaming in that direction, she'll be riding wild horses, skiing the slopes of Aspen or scuba diving with a hot rock star, all without leaving the cozy comfort of her office.
About Michelle: I love coffee and chocolate, even more so when they are combined. I'm convinced that one day they could be the basis for world peace. I also love the color red and am seriously considering dying my hair.

This novella picks right up where Part 1 ended. Sophie's causing trouble and Cash and Olivia are trying their best to make the most of things.
Cash is so considerate of Olivia and always there for her...you can't help but love him. He also wants to do right by Isabella...and you can't help but love him for that too!
I love Olivia...she definitely is not taking any crap. I love how she stood up to Sophie even though Sophie was holding her own. Olivia just needs to be patient.
And hellloooo "Jason" King. That was hilarious how everyone was affected...especially Ginger! I'm not sure I'm feeling it - yet but I'm interested to see where it's going. Maybe after the last installment, I'll want to read his book that's coming out, Strong Enough, August 4, 2015.
This installment leaves you hanging just like the first one. Luckily, we don't have to wait long (July) for the final book.

Picking up at the end of 4.1 and I love that Cash and Olivia are game free. The easy road to happiness is far off and they are navigating the bumps together. Yes M. Leighton has rippled the water of one if my favorite book couples but she is keeping it real and keeping them grounded...health scares...conniving exes...fertility issues...nothing can break their love!

This was another great installment to Cash and Olivia's story! Things are starting to get crazy and people are stirring up the drama. The introduction of Jason has me dying to read his story because HOLY SWOON! I cannot wait to see where Michelle takes this story in the next installment. I have missed Cash and Olivia so much and I am so glad we got more from them.

Enjoying these short stories Ms. Leighton is putting out. Cash and Olivia's drama continues. Looking forward to read more of their struggles and this sexy, dark, and dangerous stranger called Mr. Jason King. And what understand, Mr. King will have his own story coming out soon. Definitely will read that one;).
Loving re-reading Olivia’s and Cash’s story.

Dear Sophia,

September 21, 2020Ended too soon
These novellas are so great I don't want them to end. There were moments when you are made to think that Cash is faltering, but then just like always; he proves he is the amazing man we've all fallen for. Olivia has got to be one of the strongest characters I have ever read, she is amazing!

Love the bad voice series and I love the three follow-ups that give us more of cash and Olivia.

This was another fantastic installment and novella from M. Leighton. This novella picks up right where the previous installment left off and just hits the ground running in the best possible way. Always With You Part Two continues Cash and Olivia's story together, and the twist and turn filled path that they now find themselves on because of a certain person from Cash's past. This novella was consuming, emotional, passion filled, and just an all around solid read that I enjoyed reading.
I loved that this novella gave me just the right amount of everything. It had the passion and feeling and just beautiful emotion that I've come to know and love from Cash and Olivia. You completely feel how much those two care and love one another, and M. Leighton brings that to life in the best way in this installment. You also get to see the two of them as they face one seriously trying situation, and getting to experience them fighting and pushing through that together just made me love them more.
This novella also gives you some serious twists and turns that have you beyond ready for more of what this story has to offer. I loved all that I learned in this part of the story, and I cannot wait to see what happens next with all of these characters. The events of this story bring up so many questions, and I can't wait to get some much needed answers to them. This story has the best blend of events and twists and turns to just pull you in more to what you're reading, and you will love what you learn in this part of the story.
This part of the story also gives you another chance to spend time with the many characters that just make this series. This part of the story will make you laugh and smile, make you feel the love and passion, and will have you anticipating what in the world will happen next. It has the perfect blend of suspense, emotion and feeling, and story to completely captivate you with what's happening. It also just reaffirms why Cash and Olivia and their story are so good to spend time with.
I loved this part of the story so much, and I just can't get enough of Olivia and Cash and their all-feeling and just beautiful story. I can't wait to see what happens next and I have my fingers crossed that these two have one big old happy ending coming their way soon. M. Leighton just continues to blow me away more and more with this series, and I love it. I can't get enough, and the more I read the more I truly don't want this story and these characters to end because they're just that good.

Cash and Olivia still are contending with Sophie in this installment. She seems just as manipulative as Cash thinks she is. When the paternity center is broken into, everyone who knows the facts is left to wonder if Sophie did it to delay the inevitable. Olivia is trying to put her life back on track after her father's heart attack and Sophie popping into her life with a daughter that no one is certain whether or not she is Cash's. Cash and Gavin has sought the help of Gavin's friend Jason to decipher what exactly Sophie is up to so it should be interesting to see what happens from here. Very entertaining and a great addition to this series. Hoping Cash and Olivia get their dreams to come true and Sophie out of their lives.

This is one of my very favorite book series. I read these books a long time ago, before I wrote reviews. I know...how can I not write reviews? It was years ago, now I can not read a book without writing a review. So to make things easier on me...I am going to write one review for this series and paste in each of the books in this fantastic series, that I have read at least three times. Yes I LOVE this series that much!!!
In The Bad Boys Series, we meet Cash and Nash Davenport...holy HOTTNESS!!! These alphas will blow your mind. I won't go into great detail because I do not want to give anything away. But please take my advice...these books are absolutely fantastic. One of my top three absolute favorite series.
I highly recommend The Bad Boys Series!!!

This series is titled The Bad Boys, but when it comes to Olivia, Cash is far from bad. I didn't once question him when it came to Sophie. You can tell through every action taken and word spoken that he is completely dedicated to his wife, and I couldn't help but love him even more. But speaking of bad boys...a big HELLO to the latest mysterious super hottie to grace the pages of an M Leighton book.
Add all of that to Sophie causing some major trouble, Olivia holding her own and refusing to back down from her man, hospitalisation, and then the force to be reckoned with that is Ginger (I seriously love that woman; she is hilarious!!!), Part Three couldn't happen soon enough.

The plot thickens a bit, as it should in a 3-part novella.
Olivia's dad is recovering, and she gets her act together enough to force a paternity test that Sophie's been trying to avoid since "it's the holidays".
O finds out that Marissa's preggo, Ginger and Gavin are having fun together (so far) and we meet Jason King. And, interestingly enough the lab that's conducting the paternity test has been vandalized and the samples compromised. Hmmm.. Convenient.
The descriptions of Jason are over the top outlandish.
Writing and dialogue aren't anything special and O&C hump like rabbits so it is a surprise that she's still not preggo.

Olivia and Cash are trying to have their happily ever after but it's hard with so much up against them. Cash has only ever loved one woman and that is Olivia. She is everything to him and he will do anything to protect her and make her happy. She feels like she is letting them both down since she can't seem to get pregnant. And Sophie is doing everything she can to steal her husband away from her. Isabella seems like a sweet and lovely little girl but it still hurts her that if they end up getting pregnant that the baby possibly won't be the first child of Cash's.
Worth reading.

Very short novellas. It's an epilogue to Cash and Olivia's story. But it is not happy that Sophia is in the picture trying to get Cash back and claim her daughter is his. But Cash hires someone to investigate Sophia and her claims. In the mean time Olivia is trying to be strong and supportive and keeping her guard up.
I love Olivia!!! Can't wait for more...just wish they were longer!!

Things really start to heat up in part 2. I'm now obsessed with Jason King and he was only in the story for a couple of chapters so far! Looking forward to his book. Still loving Cash and Olivia lots and inordinately pleased that their still going strong. Now, onto Part 3!
August 19, 2015
Well, it appears that Sophie has stepped up her game even more in this one. I have a feeling that Olivia is right about the bit at the end. I'm glad that Cash believed her. I find myself very intrigued by Jason King, can't wait to read more about him.
