Complimentary copy received from author for an honest review.
November Foxtrot starts where September Tango leaves off with Calvin and Zoe. I don’t want to give away details if the first book hasn’t been read. So I will just say that I really enjoyed this installment of the series as well as the last. This book captured me from the beginning. The book flows smoothly, and I devoured it in a few hours. It ended too quickly, and I can’t wait for the next book.

SEPTEMBER TANGO Book 1 Rhythm Of The Heart Series
SEPTEMBER TANGO IS FREE EVERWHERE!
Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and sexual situations.
Zoe Parker and Calvin Hall grew up together in the small town of Major, Alabama but were always separated by one person, his ex-girlfriend and her former best friend Callie. Zoe always loved him from afar and he never noticed her. After being gone for five years with the military he is back home and over a campfire they reconnect and sparks finally fly. Their passion runs hot and lost time is made up for as he realizes she is what he wants. Lies, deceit, and pain mar the magic they’ve made together, and through it all they realize that the one constant they have is each other. When Calvin is called back early for duty will they keep on dancing or will it simply be a September Tango?
When I was asked to read an ARC of September Tango by Scarlett Jade, I was really looking forward to it because I LOVED her book “Beautiful Downfall” so much. I had pretty high expectations, but I have to say I wasn’t too disappointed. This story is completely different than “Beautiful Downfall”, So I tried to keep that in mind as I was reading. From the very beginning, the book captured my attention. The author has a wonderful way with words and description to hook you right in. I felt as though I was right there. I could feel the humid heat, feel Zoe’s anger and despair. I could feel her and Calvin’s desperate love for each other, as well as the sexual tension.
The characters in the story, I felt, were “real”. There’s Zoe, who may be a little overweight and have some confidence issues, which isn’t helped by her ex, Derek, who has slept with half the town, and always seemed to make her feel worse about herself. Then again, she has a feisty side and knows when to fight for herself. There’s Calvin, Zoe’s high school crush, home on R&R from the service for two weeks, whom she never thought she had a chance in Hell with. When they meet again, a strong connection is there, and they fall head over heels. He’s leaving in two weeks, so their time is limited. Calvin and Zoe wonder how on earth they will make it when he leaves. There are other surprises and obstacles in the book, which of course I will leave for the readers to enjoy.
All in all, this was a great read. Toward the end, I almost felt like the story was kind of dragging on, possibly with some filler. However, when I realized there would probably be a sequel, I thought maybe the author was trying to lead us up to the next installment. That’s why I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars. I do look forward to reading the next book to see what happens with Calvin and Zoe.
