Reception

Publishers Weekly has both praised and panned Leigh's work. Dear Author panned Leigh's work, citing for 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 and she was one of 4 writers to contribute to Tied with a Bow (Berkley Sensation: Penguin Group USA, 2011).
