Review: A quick, red hot suspenseful & surprisingly funny read

I went along for the wild ride. Our protagonist is Alasdair ‘Dair’ Masters, a 40-year old divorced novelist of mostly crime dramas with a wicked sense of humor. As Dair quickly dives into a torrid affair with the much younger Iris, I found myself really connecting to him. At times I really felt sorry for him and not at all creeped out at his interest in Iris. He was a man starved for attention and not just the sexual kind thanks to a pretty unfulfilling 20-year marriage and a cerebral upbringing.'SOMETHING was happening inside of me, something directly related to the way this girl was making me feel, something in the way she was helping me to change, but I had no appropriate words for it yet.'Things between Dair and Iris continue to intensify and still the mystery surrounding Iris persists. Eventually a virulent argument over their age difference has a huge impact on them both. It ends on a cliffy of course, so be prepared to one-click the next installment.Not being an avid fan of novels labeled erotic, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this first quick, sexy and thrilling serial. I woke up before dawn yesterday to finish it. Not once did I have an eye-roll reaction to the erotic content or any desire to skim through it. I eagerly one-clicked my copy of Iris (The Wild Side #2), to find out what happened next.
