Evie Bennington and Dillon MacAllister sizzle on the dance floor. And between the sheets. The green-eyed hunk professes his love for Evie and promises never to leave her. Then suddenly, inexplicably, Dillon disappears. Evie is devastated and wonders if her mother’s warning about trifling white men is true after all.
In time Evie picks up the pieces when a handsome, bronzed EMT named Ty woos her. She determines to forget about her passionate love affair with Dillon and give Ty a chance. Then Dillon reappears. The circumstances surrounding his earlier disappearance are tragic. And he wants her back. But even though just the sight of Dillon makes her quiver with longing for his lovemaking, how can Evie choose between two men who mean so much to her?
“—A story about real relationships…the romance between Evie and Dillon is electric. Candy Caine’s writing is impressive.”
Latrivia S. Nelson, Bestselling Author of The Ugly Girlfriend
She couldn’t understand why she was unable to forget Dillon. He was only a guy. She had been okay before she met him and should be able to go on without him. But that thought appeared to be easier said than done. Especially when he haunted her dreams. Thoughts of him crowded her mind. There was little room for anything else. If she wanted to get on with her life, she’d have to exorcise him from her soul.
Finally, she came to the conclusion she needed to talk to him one last time if she intended to get on with her life. She had no idea what she might say to him, but assured herself she’d know when the time came. That was, if he’d agree to see her. There was always the chance that he wouldn’t want to talk to her. But she had to find a way to see him. She realized she’d have no peace until she did. Therefore, she’d have to press the issue and give him no choice.
Evie knew Dillon’s schedule. He was in class now and she had some time before the start of her next class. She would wait outside his classroom and try to talk to him then. If she left her dorm now, she could be there a few minutes before the class ended. Grabbing her coat, purse and keys, she rushed out of the room. Now running, she headed toward the building where his class was being held. As she pushed through the door of the building, she collided with a person walking out. They fell together in a heap.
“Dillon!”
“Evie? Unbelievable!”
They both began to laugh. They laughed until the tears came. Finally, Dillon helped her to her feet. He gathered her into his strong arms and held her tightly against him. “I couldn’t eat or sleep. You were always on my mind,” he said.
She turned her head and looked at him. Her soft-brown eyes were moist and glistening in the fluorescent lights. Gently, her fingers skimmed his face. “I was wrong. This is where I should be.”
Dillon took her hand and kissed her palm. Their eyes met and held a beat before their lips came together for a long feverish kiss that conveyed what words could not.
Classes ended and the hall began to fill with people. Both Dillon and Evie had to go to their classes.
“To be continued,” he said, as he started to let her go.
“Yes. Call me later.”
One last quick kiss before they separated. They reluctantly pulled away from one another. As they slowly parted, Evie couldn’t help but marvel how fate kept bringing them together. Yes, it had been her objective to meet him at his class, but instead they collided in the hall. Was this some kind of proof that they were destined to be together?
Evie knew she cared for Dillon. But could that caring be much more? Could what she felt be love? Why else couldn’t she forget him?
And how was she going to tell her mother about Dillon?
Review:

3.5 Stars
Evie is away at college working hard studying to become a physical therapist what she didn't expect was to find a handsome distraction Dillon. Dillon also a student working working towards his degree to become a veterinarian. After these two literally run into each other more than once sparks fly making it impossible to resist each other. Dillon is everything Evie's mom has warned her about white. Evie's mother has warned Evie her whole life to stay away from white men. White men will leave you and it's best to stay with your own kind. Although Evie promised her mother she would she cannot resist the attraction and chemistry her and Dillon have.
After Dillon promised Evie he wanted forever he disappears. Evie devastated by the loss of Dillon with no word she moves on and finds someone. What she doesn't expect Dillon's return and he wants her back and make up to her him leaving. Can Evie forgive Dillon or is it too late?
This story is is a quick smooth read. Candy's writing style is easy and flows so effortlessly. Why only a 3.5? I gave Save the Last Dance for Me a email 3.5 because I in my opinion the plot and college emotions were elementary. These two loathed each other, or should I say road the line of love & hate, for quite some time but the agree to.study together, have dinner, & sleep together the 2nd time they speak civil to each achieve other. I know that is not surprising but by their 3rd meeting they confess their love for each other. With that being said the plot, writing style, and characters are worth the read but frustrating with the lack of reality put into the characters' emotions. It's It's a sweet story and worth the time.
