My Thoughts
What I loved about Dane was that he kind of snuck up on me. He is that guy behind the guy that just simmers until he boils. In Believe he is restless and wanting more, but not quite sure what that more is for him. He's a great guy who backs his over the top friend, but does his own thing behind the scenes. Then Arianne comes into his life and changes things for both of them. She has a crazy ex who just won't leave her and her son alone and Dane comes to her rescue on more than one occasion. She is like a wounded animal in that she doesn't trust the good in Dane just yet, but he will go out of his way to prove himself to her. And did I mention that they are scorching hot together? Oh yeah they are. I really enjoyed their story.
I give Believe 4 hearts!

About the Book
Have you ever hit a point in your life where everything
looks good from the outside but there’s this feeling deep in your gut that
tells you something is wrong?
Dane Roberts was just an ordinary guy—so he thought. Best
friend to MMA fight sensation Xander Todd, and all round decent guy. But now a
restlessness surrounds him. Dare he reach for more? Could he too emulate his
best friend’s results in the cage?
Arianne Le Flegg was a woman starting over, with her son.
Running from a past littered with broken promises, manipulation and violent
abuse at the hands of family. Violence terrified her on every level. She longed
for an “ordinary life”—safety for herself and her son.
Can there ever be a future for two people who view violence
so differently? One embraces it, the other dispels it. One is seeking the
extraordinary, the other ordinary. She longs for the type of man he’s trying to
leave behind.
For there to ever be a future together, they’ll need to dig
deep and decide what really is important to each of them.
To do this, they must first accept—The hardest demons to
defeat are the ones inside.
They’ll have to Believe.

Excerpt
The drive home was a killer. Although the restaurant we’d
gone to was amazing, I didn’t really think it through. Mount Tamborine road was
definitely a two hands on the wheel type of drive with its succession of
hairpin bends and drop offs. There was no chance to have my hand on her leg or
up her skirt.
“How are you doing over there? Sulking? Plotting my demise?”
“I can’t believe you left me like that!”
I chuckled, “Building anticipation, Miss.”
“I so want to reach over and grab you by the crotch just to
see how you like to be tormented. This is not a road to be doing that.” She
wriggled in her seat a little more suffering from frustration.
“Spread your legs, Miss.”
“What did you say?” She was playing coy because I’d left her
hanging. Ari loved it when I started bossing her when it came to sex.
“You heard me! Push your hips forward and hike that skirt
up. I want to look over and see your naked pussy. I want to know that’s what
I’m going to have anyway I want it when we get home.”
I noted her sharp intake in of her breath, as she did as I
asked.
The road evened out into the long straights on the flat. I
could take a hand off the wheel now and be safe, although I had something
naughtier in mind.
“Touch your pussy for me, Miss.”
“Dane!”
“Don’t Dane me. Do it!” I growled using my Sensei voice. She
called it my Get it on voice. It was my Sensei voice but hey...whatever worked
for her.
“I’ve never, in front of…” She was looking at me all
concerned. The other day I’d demanded her hands on her tits. Today I wanted
more.
“What’s the big deal? You let me do all kinds of stuff to
you. I want to see you do it.”
I glanced across and she still looked unsure. “Give me your
hand, Ari.”
She took my offered hand and I placed her hand directly on
her mound. Then I let my fingers trail lower.
Oh wow, she was so wet. I teased her slowly with my fingers,
letting them slide through her slick flesh. A couple of times her hips jolted
forward and I knew I’d hit a particularly sensitive spot.
My eyes remained focused on the road, the driving was
easy—all straight roads and gradual bends. Her other hand was gripped on the
armrest of the door. Not in fear, but in a need to ground herself to something.
Ari liked something solid to hang onto when she was into it. There was no way I
could resist sliding a finger into her hot, wet channel.
“Oh, Dane.” Her voice caught and my dick flexed in my pants
in response to the sound.
The hand she had on the door was now locked around my
forearm. I eased my hand upwards and covered hers. Then I slowly moved it down
over herself.
I spread my fingers lightly on top of hers. “Now show me
what you like.”
“Why? I love everything you do!”
“Because I want to know what you do. Come on, Miss. You
didn’t spend two years on your own without at least using your fingers
occasionally. Or have you got a secret cache of toys you haven’t told me
about?”
She tensed briefly, then relaxed as I guided her fingers
lightly.
“This really turns you on?”
“Yep! Like you wouldn’t believe. Anything that involves you
and sex is an instant turn on for me.”
“And I thought you were such a gentleman!” she huffed out in
shaky breaths.
“I am.” I pushed her finger against her clit and rolled it
in circles the way I knew she liked. “I just like to get a little wild and
demanding when it comes to sex. You love it, don’t deny it. You’ve got even
wetter since we’ve been talking if that’s even possible. I can’t wait to get
home and lick all that sweetness from you.”
Ari let out a few long pants and her body had gone rigid.
She was almost there and I couldn’t resist moving my hand back to the wheel. It
was up to her whether she came now or later. I was kind of hoping she’d finish
herself off; it would be another little hurdle we jumped together.
“Dane!” she shrieked.
“Finish it, Ari. Come for me. Let me see you, hear you,” I
demanded of her.
Her fingers wriggled in her pussy and she started to groan
and pant all at once.
“Oh God Dane, I can’t believe you made me do it,” she cried
as the orgasm racked through her. I couldn’t help the chuckle that slipped out.
From the corner of my eye, I watched the spasm fire through her body and her
face contort in passion.
“I just encouraged you, Ari. Miss, that was hot! My dick is
so hard right now.”
“I should make you return the favour,” she grunted.
“Anytime you want. Just not tonight and not when I get home
from Vegas. They are definitely my cock in your pussy kind of days.” I chuckled,
and pulled her fingers from her pussy and sucked them into my mouth.
“You’re impossible!”
I loved pushing her and she loved me, too, for doing it.
