Reception

Critical reception for Leigh's books have been mixed over the years. Romantic Times reviewed Soul Deep giving it two stars out of five for an overabundance of plot contrivances, but giving Lion's Heat a four and a half star rating. Publishers Weekly has both praised and panned Leigh's work. Dear Author panned Leigh's work, citing Leigh's Menage a Magick that the world building was "perfunctory". International Business Times News called Deadly Sins "a fun guilty pleasure". Library Journal noticed the "unvarnished language of erotica" of Coyote's Mate''
