I adore Christine Bell’s writing… she’s one of the adult writers that I can count on for a good story.  Down on Her Knees is part of the Dare Me Series and it brings us the story of two of the characters who I was dying to know more about.Rafe and Courtney.At the end of Down the Aisle, I was completely intrigued by Rafe and so was Courtney.  Having just gotten out of a very controlling relationship with her ex, Courtney isn’t looking for anything serious and certainly not with the enigmatic Detective Rafe Davenport.  The idea of him being a dominant in the bedroom, while intriguing isn’t anything she is looking for.<”Make no mistake,” he breathed, letting his lips brush the soft skin of her jaw, exulting in her full-body shudder. “I might not be in the market for love, but any woman who wants to sleep with me will absolutely and unequivocally be my woman in the bedroom. If she’s not? If she can’t trust em to give her everything she needs…everything she could possibly want? Then I’ve failed her.”Rafe has his own issues, after losing someone important to him he isn’t ever going to give his whole self to anyone again.  But, he can’t seem to get Courtney out of his mind. He suggests they do four scenes and then part ways.  Not only will it make Courtney see and appreciate what he does, but it will allow him to get her out of his mind.Let me just say that for me, this was BDSM light, so even if that’s not your thing, I think you could go into this and still appreciate it.  While the story itself was a little on the light side for me, we do learn a bit about both Rafe and Courtney and seeing them learn to trust each other and come to some realizations was nice.  I also like the male friendships in these books and this one had some great moments between the guys as well.If you like an alpha guy with a dirty mouth, and a female character who comes into her own, definitely check out Down on Her Knees as well as the other books in the Dare Me series.  I think you’ll put Christine Bell on your must read list like I have!
