TANGO!

This book has it all..tango, hot men, even hotter sex, and great food! I startd reading it on Wednesday evening and I was done by Sunday night - I did take Saterday night off to attend a milonga, I had to satisfy my own addiction to tango ;). It Takes Two accurately describes the alchemical properties of tango, as your body becomes more supple and easy, tango can transform your body, your life, your mind... the heroine Franchesca experiences this as she learns to dance tango during her trip to BA. The writing is lyrical and easy to read. I wish the author had included the recipes for all the delicious italian dishes mentioned, they sounded so good, I am inspired to make them myself...perhaps in the sequel?

Sweet escape

This was a really fun read. The immersion into BA is complete and I now, more than ever, want to visit Argentina! "It Takes Two" is a good reminder that you can always find a way to revive your life.

milongas and sexy tango lessons.... holla!

who does not melt for a book that brings all the raw sex appeal of a foreign country, lover, and dancing. the perfect fix for anyone who is feeling restless and fearless. loved it, loved it, loved it!

Love love loved it!!

Reading this I felt so inspired by Francesca... It makes me want to fly to Argentina at once to seek out my own adventure! A must read.

IF YOU LOVE BUENOS AIRES, TANGO, SEX, OR ALL THREE

IF YOU LOVE BUENOS AIRES, TANGO, SEX, OR ALL THREE, you'd better not pick up this book until you have a weekend free or you'll find yourself calling in sick so you can finish it. Even as the story races along, you want to stop to enjoy Chen's portrait of the old city and its tango milongas, the little streets full of antique shops and accordion players.... I loved this book. It's like a holiday in Buenos Aires -- with all the romance you could hope for.
