To Tango, with Desire
A spicy billionaire age-gap marriage of convenience...
I swore I’d never agree to an arranged marriage—until Zane Nasser walked back into my life with a ring and a contract.
The billionaire businessman is older, wealthier, and more powerful than any man I’ve ever known. Six months ago, I gave him one reckless, passionate night that no man can live up to. He was my first . . . and then he disappeared.
I told myself I was over it. I convinced myself I didn’t care.
Now he’s back, offering me a marry him, save my father, and secure my success as a fashion designer. There’s just one condition—don’t fall in love.
It should be simple, but in marrying Zane, I’m giving up my fairytale ending.
Zane is ruthless. Detached. Unfeeling.
But the way he looks at me, the way he touches me makes me wonder if I know him at all. When his “brother” shows up, causing trouble, Zane offers me a glimpse of who he used to be.
The man of my dreams.
I tell myself I can handle it. That I can keep my heart out of it.
But the truth is . . . I never stood a chance.

The combination of an age gap, forced proximity, and a very determined billionaire had my attention pretty quickly.
Amira and Zane had such a fun push and pull, especially with their age gap, history, and undeniable chemistry. I also liked how much Amira wanted to make her own choices while still being there for her family.
Zane had pretty quickly caught my attention. He is protective, bossy, possessive, and surprisingly tender underneath all that energy. Amira matched him impeccably well too. She was fierce, independent, and determined to build a life on her own terms. Watching them slowly drop their walls and finally communicate made their relationship so much more satisfying.
And the spice absolutely delivered. Between the tango, banter, emotional tension, and family dynamics, there was plenty to keep me invested. I especially loved how their relationship became something they consciously chose rather than simply following the expectations placed on them.
This was the kind of messy, steamy romance that makes for an easy recommendation.

Review of eARC received by the Author Agency, thank you!
To Tango with Desire is the second in this series and although I didn't read the first one, I didn't feel as though I missed vital information. The author did a good job of introducing the previous MMC and FMC naturally. While I liked the beginning and initially thought this might be an amazing read, I really didn't feel engaged with the characters. I can recognize that this one just isn't for me.
Amira finds herself forced into an arranged marriage to Zane, a ONS who she has held a torch for for the past 6 months. He forces himself into her life and offers her an out to her parents pestering and her money troubles. I really only enjoyed the dancing portions of this. I didn't find Amira and Zane's relationship anything but surface level. They just lusted after each other. He hid the SO MUCH from Amira. She would find out his secrets from other women and his brother and then he would turn it around on her. I really did not like Zane, he didn't respect Amira and her boundaries. She repeatedly told him to just communicate with her and he just wouldn't. It drove me bonkers, he didn't even have good reasons for hiding things. He didn't even have a reason to marry her... if he was so lonely he could have had anyone else but he was selfish in wanting Amira when she wanted more than someone to warm her bed.
Also, I HATED her parents and sister with a burning passion. They were so backwards in their thinking and there wasn't even a resolution with their relationship. Amira didn't get an apology or them trying to understand. Her sister happily played both sides and it was infuriating.

Zane, being in his forties, wanted a marriage of convenience. He didn’t want a relationship that could cause heartache if he were to have loved and lost. Amira, who’s twenty-five, is facing an arranged marriage that she doesn’t want, but her father’s future is riding on it. So when she and Zane encounter one another at Tango again, Zane gives her a proposal that will solve both their problems. And since she’d known Zane from one night of passion years back, she agreed.
I loved how these two went into this contract thinking they were going to come out of it benefiting both of them. Neither of them expected to catch feelings. But that back and forth and push and pull said otherwise. This was spicy and intense. I was glued to my seat with this one. I loved all of the unexpected things that took place between them that neither saw coming. This was just so good. And I loved it.

This is the second book in this series, and this is Zane and Amira’s story.
Zane is a billionaire businessman who wants a wife, while Amira is a feisty fashion designer from a traditional family, who are looking for a husband for her.
This is a well written easy to read story, with family, friendships, emotions, marriage of convenience, an age gap, trauma, sacrifices, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, billionaire romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this book; it immerses us in the world of Amira, a young woman from a traditional family that is trying to find her a husband. However, she is a free spirit, and after her fling with Zane, she isn't ready to bow to the choices her family wants to impose on her.

This was an ARC read from the author via the author agency.
I loved this book.
Ida Brady is a new to me author and I really enjoyed her style.
Our couple fought against each other and the circumstances around their marriage for a large part of their story, but love won out in the end, even though it wasn't on the cards for a certain billionaire!
Great story, great characters, and then i found out there's s previous book! Well, blow me over! I need to check it out.

Amira, like many children of traditional (read, old fashioned) parents, is rebelling against their ideas. And she finds the perfect guy to help with that rebellion. Except he ghosts her for months, then walks back into her life with a little proposal - an arranged marriage that will benefit them both. One rule though, that of course will be thrown out the window, no falling in love. Yeah...
Thanks to a rough childhood, Zane has closed off his heart to everyone, including his new wife. Their first meeting he ghosted her, not because he didn't want to see her again, but because he DID WANT to see her again, and he couldn't handle it. But now, with every day that passes with his sassy, independent Amira, his heart is thawing. Will he admit to her that he broke their rule? And does she return that love?
Whew, for a man who said no feelings involved, Zane sure has lots of them! He's possessive and protective, he's super bossy, and he's down bad for his very sassy wife. I love Amira - she kept Zane on his toes and brought him to his knees all while keeping her sense of self intact, stood up for herself, and of course, fell in love with her man, too. The spice is 5 alarm hot, but it's the way they navigate their developing feelings that I kept reading for. I love this couple, the way they complemented each other so naturally, and fell in love in complete defiance of their rule.

💃 Two Stubborn Hearts, One Very Tempting Tango 💃
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars | 🌶️🌶️ 2 Chili Peppers
Apparently, the only thing more dangerous than dancing the tango with a gorgeous billionaire is agreeing to marry him while pretending your feelings aren't involved! 😂💃❤️
To Tango, With Desire had me hooked pretty quickly with its age-gap romance, marriage of convenience, undeniable chemistry, and two stubborn characters who clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into!
Amira Hadid is twenty-five, fiercely independent, and determined to build a successful career as a fashion designer. She has dreams of her own, and getting married simply because her traditional family expects it isn't exactly part of her plan. But when her father's health becomes a concern, she finds herself facing some difficult choices.
Enter Zane Nasser. 🔥
This billionaire businessman is older, powerful, ridiculously bossy, and convinced that marriage can be a practical arrangement without any messy feelings involved. The problem? He and Amira already shared one unforgettable night six months earlier, and their attraction hasn't disappeared just because he did!
Zane was such an interesting MMC. He's protective, possessive, demanding, and definitely accustomed to getting his way. But underneath that intimidating exterior is a surprisingly tender man with emotional wounds he's spent years trying to keep hidden. I loved watching those softer layers slowly emerge.
And Amira? She certainly wasn't going to make things easy for him! 😂❤️
I really enjoyed her fiery personality and determination to make her own choices. Even when family obligations weighed heavily on her, she never stopped wanting a future that reflected her own dreams. I especially appreciated that she could challenge Zane while still allowing herself to discover the man behind his carefully controlled exterior.
Their relationship was full of entertaining push and pull, passionate chemistry, and plenty of moments when their carefully constructed marriage agreement seemed completely ridiculous. Because honestly, who agrees not to fall in love with someone they already can't stop thinking about? 😂
The tango added another fun layer to their romance. Two people who love to dance but struggle to let go of control in their personal lives? That felt wonderfully fitting for Zane and Amira.
What made their story especially satisfying was watching them gradually lower their defenses and actually communicate. Both characters carried emotional baggage, and I liked that their relationship became about understanding each other rather than simply giving in to attraction.
The family dynamics also brought meaningful tension to the story, particularly Amira's struggle between respecting her family's expectations and making decisions for herself. I loved that the romance ultimately became about two people choosing each other because they wanted to, not because of a contract or anyone else's expectations.
And let's not forget the spice! 🌶️🔥 Between their banter, the tension, and those passionate moments, Zane and Amira certainly knew how to keep things interesting!
Overall, this was an entertaining, emotional, and steamy billionaire romance with characters I enjoyed getting to know. I loved the combination of a fiercely independent heroine, a guarded but protective hero, and a relationship that became so much more than either of them originally planned.
Zane might have thought he could control the terms of their marriage, but Amira was never going to let him have the final say when it came to her heart. ❤️💍

An age-gap, marriage-of-convenience romance, To Tango With Desire brings together Zane Nasser, a self-made billionaire who has decided it’s time to get married, and Amira Hadid, a twenty-five-year-old aspiring dress designer who has other plans for her future. The two had a one-night fling after meeting at a milonga before Zane did a disappearing act, but now six months later he’s back and this time wants more than a single night. Amira, however, is focused on building her business and isn’t particularly interested in becoming anyone’s wife. After she turns him down, Zane takes matters into his own hands and approaches her traditional Lebanese parents. With her father’s ill health and his wish to see his youngest daughter settled weighing heavily on her, Amira reluctantly agrees to the marriage.
I was initially drawn to this one because of the title. Argentine tango is probably my favourite dance because of the provocative movements, all tension and simmering passion between the dancers. With both Zane and Amira being tango devotees, I expected some of that intensity to carry over into their relationship, with considerably more heat, tension and emotional intensity between them but it never quite did for me. They often felt more like an established married couple than two people at the beginning of a passionate marriage. That said, there was plenty about the story that worked. Both characters have emotional baggage to deal with, and I liked that the book gave them more to work through than simply their relationship. Amira’s struggle between the future she wants for herself and the expectations of her traditional family brought its own pressures, while Zane has his past to confront as he begins to question some of the memories and assumptions he has carried with him. I also liked both Zane and Amira as characters. They were easy enough to root for, and their individual storylines gave the romance some depth and as it turns out, they did actually communicate and were on the same wavelength regarding their future reducing any unnecessary angst and drama even if their decisions didn’t meet with family approval.
Overall, this was a solid read with likeable characters and some interesting emotional conflicts. It just didn’t quite deliver the passionate romance I was expecting from the premise, leaving the relationship feeling more comfortable than compelling.

When I say this book had EVERYTHING I love in a spicy romance, I mean 𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑌𝑇𝐻𝐼𝑁𝐺. Omg. It was SO good. So good that I never wanted it to end. 😭🔥
Amira is the youngest daughter of Lebanese parents who are very much traditionalists and firmly believe their daughters should be married with their “purity” firmly intact. 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦, 𝐴𝑚𝑖𝑟𝑎 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑠. 😂
So… she finds Zane. A fellow tango enthusiast who she decides is the perfect candidate to help her out with that pesky little v-card situation.
Zane is 15 years older than Amira and more than happy to oblige. Then he disappears to Europe for six months on business.
When he returns, it becomes blatantly obvious to Zane that Amira needs to become a permanent fixture in his life.
𝐸𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑔𝑒.
Because naturally, the marriage contract will make it very clear that LOVE is completely, 100% off the table.

And Amira? I adored her. She’s fierce, loyal, independent, and willing to do whatever it takes to help her father get the surgeries he needs, even if that means marrying the infuriating man she absolutely cannot stand.
𝐼 𝐴𝑇𝐸 𝑇𝐻𝐼𝑆 𝐵𝑂𝑂𝐾 𝑈𝑃.
From beginning to end, I was completely engrossed. A bomb could have gone off beside me and I probably would have just looked at it and said, “Could you please remain calm for one more chapter?” 😂
I could not put this down.
And when I finally reached the end, I wanted MORE. More Zane. More Amira. 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔.

To Tango with Desire was exactly the kind of age gap romance I love when it's done well.
Zane is a determined, possessive billionaire who is used to getting his way, but what made this story work for me was that Amira never made it easy for him. At 25, she more than held her own against a 40 year old man who thought he could control every situation. Their dynamic was a constant push and pull, and I ate it up.
Thrown into an arranged marriage because of family obligations, neither of them had much choice in the situation (well Zane did), but the sparks between them were impossible to ignore. Every conversation felt like a challenge. Every step forward was followed by two steps back. It genuinely felt like watching a dance unfold, with both of them fighting for the lead.
The tension carried this book. Zane's possessive streak could have easily overshadowed the relationship, but Amira matched his determination at every turn. She refused to simply fall in line, which made their chemistry even stronger. Their connection built through clashes, stubbornness, attraction, and the growing realization that what started as an obligation was becoming something neither of them could walk away from.
As a big fan of age gap romance, arranged marriage, a possessive billionaire MMCs, and a FMCs strong enough to challenge them, this one delivers plenty of tension and that addictive push-and-pull dynamic that keeps you invested until the end.
A huge thanks to Ida Brady and The Author Agency for the early copy!

This is the second book in the Alpha Male series. I didn’t read the first book but I think I would like to read it. This book was about Kane and Amira. Kane is in his forties, he’s wealthy, bossy, powerful and wants to get married. But, he wants a cold arranged marriage. He doesn’t want messy feelings or love. Just two people who will abide by the rules set. Amira is twenty five. She is younger, adventurous, she wants to be her own independent person. She wants to be a successful designer. However, she has her parents who are badgering her to get married. She’s the youngest of five children and everyone is married and most through an arranged marriage. Now Kane and Amira have history because they spent an evening together and he took her virginity. So when the pressure of her father’s health is preventing him from retiring Amira realizes she must get married. Amira is smitten with Zane but he ghosted her after their evening together. So can she really trust him? The relationship between these two is certainty intense. Both are trying to remain uninvolved and keep the marriage in the safe zone is nearly impossible when neither person can stop thinking of the other and they are having all this marvelous sex. I enjoyed the push pull, love me hate shenanigans. I like messy romances. I did have some issues with some of the terms and words used and I wished the author had done the translations right next to the words in either italics or parentheses, because many times I stopped reading to look up the term. I like to know and understand what I’m reading.
Review of advance copy
These two! Once they started communicating, they were amazing!
Amira and Zane met before the book began, and Amira was disappointed he never reached out after their one-night stand. What she doesn’t know is that he hasn’t stopped thinking about her, so when he sees she’s looking for a husband, he makes an arrangement with her parents, as is traditional with Lebanese families. Her parents are excited; Amira not so much, as she wasn’t actually planning on marrying. Rules are made, and a timeline is set in case it doesn’t seem to be working. It takes a bit to find their stride, but once they do, it’s amazing between them. So what happens when they both break the rules?
Amira and Zane get their happy ending in this standalone book in a series.
Not knowing much about Lebanese culture and traditions, I have to wonder how common age gap marriages like this are. I actually forgot about it after a while, as Amira seemed more mature for her age than I seemed at her age. My heart broke for both Amira and Zane for all they had gone through both on page and in the past. Amira especially, with how her mom treated her after her decision. I loved that Zane supported Amira’s choice and went a step further to make sure that it continued to be the choice she was making. It would be interesting to see if that was still her choice at, say, thirty-five, but she also seemed very sure of herself, so probably would be the same.

Thank you to Ida Brady and The Author Agency for this ARC opportunity, this book was a 4.5 ⭐️for me.
Amira is looking to have fun in her 20s, explore her sexuality, launch her fashion business the last thing she's looking is for marriage much to her parents disappointment.
Zane is wealthy, older, experienced man, and after spending a night with Amira he can't get her out of his mind, instead of pursuing her he disappears for 6 month, leaving Amira trying to convince herself that it was just a night of fun, and she doesn't think about him.
Now Zane is back and is ready to settle into an arranged marriage and who better to be his wife than Amira the girl he can't stop thinking about, knowing Amira wants nothing to do with him he goes behind her back to her parents and gets them to agree to let him marry Amira.
With her parents blessing the marriage, and her father agreeing to get the medical care he's put off for so long if she gets married, Amira feels she has no choice but to accept.
Zane is convinced he can make Amira happy even if he will never able to love her, he can show her a supportive caring husband who won't hesitate to spend his money on her. Amira meanwhile is trying to get to know who Zane really is behind the powerful business man, can she really have a marriage without love?

5⭐️ 3.5🌶️ ARC REVIEW: 📖 To tango, with desire 📖 by Ida Brady ✨
♥️ Possessive billionaire MMC ♥️arranged marriage ♥️age gap (15years) 🔥spicy ♥️feisty FMC 🔥tango dancers
This book has everything you want in a spicy romance book. I was intrigued from chapter 1 and did not want it to end. Amira’s parents believe at 25 years old she is basically an old maid and have been pressuring her to marry. Enter Zane who is also into Tango and the perfect person (she gave her vCard to him 6 months prior). Zane wants a life companion and not a love match and arranges a marriage with her parents. What could go wrong?
This book has everything you want… possessive and protection MMC, tension and of course fantastic spice. Their banter, tenderness with each other and spice was perfection. This book had personal triggers for me and I definitely found myself crying but I really enjoyed the book. I just wanted more of their story.
“I don’t think making the most of life has anything to do with age and everything to do with perspective. Some people are incapable of taking advantage of the opportunities that life brings, where there are others who are brave enough to take risks.”
“Like a match to the flame, I burned.”

Review of advance copy received from Author
4.25 stars. This story is dual POV, well written, and an angsty, steamy, marriage of convenience, age gap, alphahole , contemporary billionaire romance between Amira, the female fashion designer lead of Lebanese heritage, and Zane, the male businessman lead of Persian/Lebanese heritage. I appreciated the recognition of the impact of cultural expectations on both characters but particularly Amira. I enjoyed Amira’s ambitions and initiative, especially given the resistance of her family of origin. I was amused by Zane’s reluctance to acknowledge his sincere interest and enjoyed his machinations to ensure Amira remained in his life. I enjoyed the steamy intimate scenes. I laughed at the effort both characters exerted to maintain emotional distance. I adored Zane’s position on birth control, which I wish more men pursued, both in real life and fiction. I enjoyed the complementary nature of their personalities and the way they moderated each other’s faults; the character development, especially for Zane, was fantastic. I enjoyed the way they supported each other in the face of family challenges. I enjoyed the non-standard but very happy ending.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

✨ ARC Review ✨
It’s such a satisfying slow-burn arranged marriage story! And I also got to learn a little glimpse of Lebanese culture along the way, which I really enjoyed. I’m glad I picked this one up! 🥹
The story follows an arranged marriage between a man who doesn’t believe in traditional marriage or love because of his past trauma, and a woman who wants love and a real marriage. Meanwhile, he just wants someone to have as a companion :,)
After the marriage, there’s a lot of push and pull between them because of their agreement. Even though the sexual tension and feelings between them are SO clear, they keep trying to deny what they feel for each other. And after thousands of drama + family drama, they finally come to their senses! Thank God! 😭😂
Thank you for the ARC, Ida Brady & The Author Agency! 💛

Review of advance copy
OMG I absolutely devoured To Tango, with Desire!! 😍🔥
Zane and Amira had me HOOKED from the beginning. The age gap, billionaire, marriage of convenience, their history together AND the fact that he was her first?! Yeahhhh there was absolutely no hope for me 😂
The chemistry between these two was insane. 🔥 Zane trying to convince himself this marriage was purely convenient and that he absolutely was NOT going to fall in love… sir, please 😂 I loved watching all those carefully built walls start crumbling because Amira was never going to be just a convenient wife.
And Amira!! I loved how determined she was to make her own dreams happen while also wanting to help her family. She had so much pride and strength, and putting her together with possessive billionaire Zane was just delicious.
The tension, the passion, the tango scenes, the spice, the emotions… I ate every bit of it up. 💃🔥❤️

To Tango, With Desire by Ida Brady is a fun, steamy romance with plenty of chemistry and emotional tension. I enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters and the way their attraction developed throughout the story. Their relationship had just the right amount of push and pull to keep things interesting, while the emotional moments added depth beyond the romance. I especially enjoyed the alpha-male energy and the passionate scenes, but I also appreciated seeing the characters open up and deal with the challenges standing between them. The pacing kept me engaged, and the story was an enjoyable addition to the Alpha Male Series. Overall, To Tango, With Desire was an entertaining, steamy romance with strong chemistry and engaging characters.

Wow this book was so good. At first I thought that maybe I wouldn't like it but the more I started reading I was like yup..have to read more. Amira just wanted to live her life, but her parents wanted her to settle down with a husband and start a family. Amira was 25 and well that seemed old in their standards. Amira goes out and decides to lose her v card to Zane a wealthy billionaire (that grew up poor but...you will have to read more to find out). Anyways Zane couldnt let Amira go..he was older (40) and wanted a wife..not for love (never for love 🙄 but we all know what happens with that lol) Anyways Amira and Zane agree to the arranged marriage but love wont be involved..alot of things happened and well you need to read the book!

So this book was HEAVY on the miscommunication. At one point I was literally like, HOLY FUCK, JUST SAY WHAT YOU’RE FEELING.
But honestly, I understood why they struggled. Zane is dealing with grief, betrayal, and feeling like he’s never good enough, while Amira is trying to figure out how to live the life she wants while navigating cultural traditions and expectations.
Once they finally got their heads out of their asses, I really loved what this book was actually about. It felt like a love letter to breaking away from expectations and choosing the life you actually want, even when other people don’t agree with your choices.
I also really appreciated the way it explored cultural expectations, especially those placed on women, and the different ways grief and betrayal can shape you.
And THE HEAT. 🥵 Zane was fucking feral from the first chapter to the epilogue, and Amira absolutely held her own.
What I loved most was that they **grew together**, not separately. It started as an arrangement, but watching them figure out what they actually wanted and build that life together was so good.
So yes, they tested my fucking patience 😂 but I really loved where they ended up.

This one had me hooked and sucked into this fictional world so fast. I couldn’t quit turning pages.
I love a good possessive/obsessive protective MMC and this one was every bit of that! This is an age gap, arranged married that provides so much chemistry, tension and a well written amount of spice that doesn’t take away from the story line but will make you sweat!
I really enjoyed this read. The writing was done really well and I felt like the story progressed effortlessly and I loved the personalities of the main characters.

OMG this book surprised me in all the best ways. It's spicy with an arranged marriage, plot and romance. Plus the tension was palpable. Zane and Amira were incredible characters. I loved the growth between them, how things just evolved over time for them. And the writing is flawless. I was hooked from start to finish hanging on to every bit of the story until the very end. This one is so, so good. Thank you to the author agency and the author for a copy of this. All thoughts are my own and freely given.

Gosh I devoured this book. I loved it from start to finish and did not want it to end. Loved Zane and Anira and rooted for them throughout. Zane is the kind of MMC to easily fall in love with. He has issues and at times is annoying but man he is hot! So devoted to Amira and such a kind soul. Although their marriage is “convenient “ and they have an arrangement. It’s obvious the two want a real marriage . The sex scenes are fire and the mutual pleasuring scenes are scorching!
To tango, with desire is a very well written book and a pleasurable read. Highly recommended

Thank you Ida Brady for the advance copy of this book to read and review! I enjoyed reading this book. I met a bossy billionaire and a woman who knows what she wants and does not want. It is not often that a book I read is set in a different culture. This one in an Argentina culture with tango dancing, arranged marriage and some Arabic phrases to look up. Join Zane and Amira as they begin with a single dance and night together and end up in a burn the world for you relationship in the end.

This was so good! It’ll bring in all the feels (please read trigger warnings!) the way he went to get her and then was there for her the whole time. She made him feel things he wasn’t ready to feel but oh it was so good! The one area they have an instant connection was the one night they spent together but the memories of that night will live rent free in their heads.
This is one you should add to your TBR.

Zane oh my Zane. I liked that we got Amira who's family come from very "traditional" mindset. I felt she was very related at times with having family members still leaning on these older mindsets. It was entertaining reading her fight to gain her own space and not being afraid to take up space. Now her relationship with Zan was hot, loved their tension. Can't help but like a woman that speaks her mind with the guy as well ;).
Review of advance copy
Amira and Zane met previously but she didn’t expect him to come back into the picture. Now there’s the proposition of a marriage that would benefit them both. Neither expect love and there’s plenty of push and pull in their relationship as they resist finding love in a relationship that started as an arrangement. Good characters and a good story.
