review 1: I enjoyed reading this book. It made me want to learn Tango. :) Though I must admit that there was nothing extra ordinary about the book. Cliched plot and cliched characters. But surprisingly, it was extremely well written. It held my interest. We have a yummy Latin American hero, Rafael who gradually grew on me. I found myself attracted to him since the first page. I found him intriguing. And I was completely sold when I learned that he also knew how to Tango. I hated the heroine, Isobel. I should sympathize with her but she came across as a very irritating,selfish, judgmental and close minded person. I felt as if she was resisting/ fighting him off just for the sake of fighting.She couldn't look beyond the end of her nose.I took an inordinately long time to finish this b... moreook because I spent a lot of time watching videos of people performing Tango on YouTube. I was enthralled. Overall. a very enjoyable read.
review 2: i've read 4 books from this author and i ike this the best... mainly because unlike the other it did not reveal around heroine getting pregnant and hero being "honourable"! it was a nice change/although i hate how every book from this author resembles the other. its like reading the same book with different names and set ups- the hero is distant, playboy and a billionaire... the heroine is a fragile little thing being nonchalant to the hero to stop herself from falling on her knees infront of him- whatever happened to a strong, determined protagonist who gives the finger to anyone who calls her a social climber and tells her what to do!! oh and not to forget the end- the eerie similar end practically a copy and paste for each book i've read so far... just when the girls asks the guy to leave her alone-more precisely to let her leave his home- the guy arranges a date and confesses her undying love to her! it was hard to ignore the similarity!that said, i'm a fan of dominating and jealous heroes... although like mentioned above i prefer a defiant heroine! I think that's the reason i liked this book.. the girl had a little more backbone then the rest of the protagonist created by green in other books! Overall, it was a good read- if i had read this before anyother by green, i would have given this one a 5 star! less
