This second of the Elemental Attractions series is even better than Water Waltz, which was pretty darned good. The mystery is complex and baffling, and I was completely wrong in my guess as to the culprit! The love story has some rocky moments, but we see that Fremont has much more depth than one would have guessed from having met him in Water Waltz. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series, because I am seriously hooked!

I just love this series. I hope there's going to be a 3rd book.

This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Fremont keeps his past hidden from everyone, he has secrets that he doesn’t want revealed and it is putting pressure on his relationship with Leandre, when he is forced to return to Spezia after ten years in exile Leandre goes with him, but Fremont’s secrets start to come spilling out and it is only Leandre’s faith that keeps them going. Leandre knows Fremont loves him and he has faith that Fremont will let him in on his past when it is the right time, but as he discovers Fremont’s secrets even his faith is starting to take a bashing, and Fremont needs all the faith he can get when someone tries to set him up for murder… again.
This is a brilliant story set in a world of Angel’s, Demon’s, Devil’s and Human’s. Fremont and Leandre are making their relationship work, Leandre wants more, he wants to know more but Fremont is very cagey about his past. Fremont doesn’t want Leandre to know about his past because he doesn’t want Leandre to leave him, Fremont’s past is filled with a mystery and that mystery is about to come back to haunt him. When they both journey to Spezia they are both pulled into a conspiracy of murder, mystery and political intrigue that is a danger to both of them, but with the help of some friends from Fenian they just might be able to save them all from death.
This storyline is wonderful, it draws you in from the beginning as you begin to wonder just what Fremont is hiding in his past, and you begin to wonder just who could be setting Fremont up. Leandre and Fremont make a wonderful couple, Leandre has full faith in Fremont but he wants Fremont to open up to him. Fremont would like nothing better than to be open with Leandre but he fears that Leandre will walk out on him if he knows the truth. Fremont might seem like a fully confident character but he is quite insecure when it comes to his love life, Leandre is a confident demon and nothing is going to make him change his mind about loving Fremont, not even a murder charge
I loved the mystery and intrigue, the danger and threats and trying to figure just who is out to get Fremont, you have suspicions but something always points you in another direction before you come back full circle only to be misdirected again. The story is brilliantly written, the background we are given is great and the world building for Spezia is breath-taking especially for Foxwood. Happily we see characters from Water Waltz and we are introduced to Fremont’s family and friends, some of whom are very interesting and I would love to see more of.
I will recommend this story to those who love paranormal alternative worlds, mystery, suspense, murder, danger, intrigue, love, belief in a loved one and a happy ending that has hints for whose story might be next.

Unlike Water Waltz, Fire Tango was not a spy novel. It was a murder mystery! I guessed the absolute wrong suspect and motive; I do every time. Like Water Waltz, trust was again a big issue in this book. Fremont had to trust Leandre to not stop loving him despite his past. Leandre had to trust that Fremont really wanted to be with him. Leandre also spends most of the book out of his element, both literally and metaphorically. As a demon he’s completely unfamiliar with devil culture, family structure, and law. As a fire demon being in Foxwood during the rainy season not only makes it difficult to use his element, but feels very physically uncomfortable for him.
Fremont and Leandre weren’t the only characters. Nolyn, a character that continued from Water Waltz and Pekelo were also in the book in addition to Varun, Triste, and a brief moment with Zephyr. Poor barely mature young air demon Nolyn is in love with the knowledge obsessed earth demon Pekelo. Typically, Pekelo, despite all his knowledge is completely unaware Nolyn would like them to be anything other than friends. I suspect their book is next. It’s not out yet, so I have to wait. As soon as it’s out I’m sure I’ll buy it.

I had hoped during Water Waltz to see more of him, because I fell half in love with him from the start. I loved reading Tango! You get to learn so much more about him, his modivations, his history. So many things about him make sense now, and I just love it! I really like how Hayley has different distinct cultures within this series as well. It makes it all seem more real to me. I have no doubt there will be more books to follow. And no doubt that I'll be first in line to buy them, lol.

This one isn't as erotic as the first, but I enjoyed the story quite a bit. The side story with Nolan was cute. I also like the world this author has built. I do struggle a bit trying to picture it in my head, though. Is it a modern world? Or more of a historical setting? Either way, still interesting and different. It's difficult to find different stories after reading so many.
