Down 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.
