4,5 CocktailsDown on Her Knees is the third book in the Dare Me series by Christine Bell.  While this book can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel, I found its best read as part of the series.  Courtney and Rafe first appeared together in Down the Aisle in this series.  I loved that we get to see what happens with all that chemistry.Courtney DeLollis is a very single and happy woman.  She is a survivor of a controlling and abusive relationship.  Therefore, any and all dominate men is something she wants no part of.  Rafe is someone she meet at a friend’s wedding.  While he is dominate, he calls to her.Detective Rafe Davenport is a hot and sexy man who is also a Dom.  It’s easy to tell how good of a Dom he is when he sends Courtney the survey to fill out in a way to help him not only explore her boundaries and her sexuality.  Rafe does a great job of building Courtney’s self-confidence up.The chemistry between Rafe and Courtney is scorching hot.  They practically burn up the pages.  I loved how Rafe pushed Courtney out of her comfort zone and got her to enjoy what Rafe was showing her.  The sex scenes were blistering.  I loved how creative Rafe was with Courtney.I found this book well written.  The main and secondary characters were realistic and interesting. While I enjoyed reading this book, I would have loved to see a more softer romantic side to Rafe.  At times, it is hard to tell he loves her and not just wants her.  Overall, this was a great book.  I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.Reviewed by Victoria for Cocktails and Books
