Who says a summer romance ever has to end? What if thousands of miles and a war separated you? Would you keep dancing? Or would it simply be... a September Tango?
To answer that question after reading the book I would have to say I would keep dancing! I believe that long distance love can workout, I'm a former Navy Brat and my parents did it. I mean my Dad wasn't involved in any wars, but he did have to leave us for months at a time and one time a whole year! Their love was strong enough for them to stay together; well I'm sure having two kids in the mix was a reason for it too. Lol! I digress.
Zoe Parker has it pretty hard! Her boyfriend and best friend she finds out have been sleeping together behind her back and in public for the whole town to see. Her mom died recently, her Dad isn't the same since she died, and is never around, she was laid off her job, and to top it all off it's summer and hot as all hell! Yea I felt like she was experiencing a little bit of hell. The girl just has no luck it seemed like. I was pulling for some happiness to come her way as I was reading. My heart felt like it was going to explode because of the pain I felt for and with her. And when I think this is going to be the whole story she sees a handsome man at the airport that will no doubt change her life.
Calvin Hall enlisted into the military after high school and hasn't been home in 5 long years! He is coming home to parents that were killed in a car accident and he was unable to attend their funeral do to his orders in the Military. He is coming back to his sister and grandparents and a small town where little has changed, but Calvin is not the same guy he was before he left. The military has changed him for the better in my eyes, but everyone has their shit to deal with. He is expecting to come home and relax until his leave is over in two weeks. What he doesn't expect is to meet Zoe Parker, and have his life change even more.
I enjoyed reading September Tango, it was different from most of the books I read, but it was refreshing to break away from my normalcy. The chemistry described between the two characters makes you think back to the first time you really, really, really fell in love and it makes you think of all the heartache and friends you may have lost and gained in life. How life has its downs, but when you least expect it has a lot of great ups!
I love that the couple in this story is interracial. I honestly have not read a lot of books that have this aspect of it and a thoroughly enjoyed it.
One of my favorite aspects of this book and what also peeked my interest in wanting to read this book is that a male wrote for the character of Calvin! I love to know what a man is thinking and how he thinks, and why he thinks the things he thinks. I absolutely love it! I'm thinking that is why the sex scenes are so hot and steamy because they are coming from not only a female perspective by a male's as well. That doesn't happen very often! It's all about chemistry man, and the chemistry is fire in this book!
A lot happens in this book and you will never be bored. Both characters even though they have been through so much, they are both very strong people and I can relate to having to rely only on yourself and that it is hard to allow someone else in to help you from time to time. I love that the two of them found solace in each other.
And yes there is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end (cliffhangers and I have a love hate relationship) and I'm praying that there will be a book 2! I need to know what will come of Calvin and Zoe! There just wasn't enough time! Lol!
**Fingers crossed for a sequel**
