*****5 Stars*****
I'll start my review by saying that although this is book #2 in the Oni Fighters series - and it does touch on book #1 - it's kind of written in the same timeframe. This means that if you haven't already read Brave (book #1) it's not a problem, as this could definitely be read as a standalone within the series. However, I really recommend you do read Brave first, so as not to spoil it, it is also a 5 star must read!
So onto Dane....
We first meet Dane in book #1 and I've got to be honest, I was definitely curious! There's clearly something going on but there are no clues as to what and quite frankly, all my guesses were so far off anyway.

He's a great character. The kind of guy to get your pulse racing....hot, huge, honourable, fantastic in bed and an all round stand up guy.
Arianne is scraping by...just. Looking for a quiet life, she's not prepared when she meets Dane. She's weary of all the things he surrounds himself with and if her past as taught her anything, it's that there's no such thing as "no strings attached".
I absolutely loved this story. Stubborn Ari is set in her ways but can Dane break through her barriers? Or are they destined to be on opposite side of the cage?
I highly recommend this thrilling 5 star read and if my opinion or advice counts for anything, it would be to read these two books in the correct order (although not a necessity).
Enjoy!

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.
