Maria DiMaggio was nothing if not practical. So she had no idea how she let her over-the-top, outrageously gay best friend, Quinn, talk her into going to see a psychic. The woman had absolutely no idea what she was talking about! True love! What a bunch of garbage! No one that Maria knew, besides Quinn, even believed in that malarkey anyway. And yet, it was still strange-being told about being reunited with a love from a past life. Could that really happen?

Bradley Taylor had been dreaming about his soulmate for years. The woman who made him feel complete. He knew what she looked like, what she sounded like. Brad even knew what she would smell like. He could remember what she felt like in his arms. So when he saw Maria standing in front of him on the airplane, he simply knew. This was she. Now, how could he make a believer out of Maria?

Having fortified herself with a little "liquid courage" prior to the flight, mostly out of boredom, Maria found herself in the position of seductress once she sat down next to the gorgeous hunk of man in the kilt in the seat next to her. After convincing Brad-overwhelmingly thoroughly at that-that joining the Mile High Club was one terrific idea, Brad tried telling her that they had known each other in a past life. Telling her, and convincing her were two very separate issues. But Brad was determined. He would not let her go through this life, waiting to reunite yet again in the next one.

BELIEVE IN US was one incredible scorcher of a story! The sex in here was incredible! Being a very warm-blooded woman, I have to admit that a gorgeous hunk in a kilt is an incredible fantasy image! Mary Warner did a fabulous job of blending a sexy, single, independent woman like Maria with a wonderfully old-fashioned man like Brad.

BELIEVE IN US should be a must-read for anyone with some spare time on their hands. I personally would love to see more from her!
