This story is a full package. Strong feelings, moments of weakness, erotic encounters, sparks, angst, funny scenes (the one with Tammy and a Iris ready to go swimming is to die for) mystery, intimacy, tenderness, the pleasure of staying together to share human warmth...and all perfectly mixed.Iris is a young and gorgeous girl who frequents the same gym Alasdair goes to.She's different. She's blunt, she's aggressive in her approach of Alasdair and is wild. She's what Alasdair isn't.*** "She was young. I was old. She was wild. I was tame." ***Alasdair sees Iris and wants her but he doesn't do anything to know her.He doesn't believe to have a chance and for him it's enough to look and lust after her.Anyway it's sufficient to say he hasn't considered how differently Iris sees the things.*** "Yes.  I saw you and I wanted you.Is that so hard to believe?  Have you taken a good look at you?" ***Now Alasdair is torn but he's not made of stone and so he eats the forbidden fruit. Iris do wonders for his physical and emotional needs.*** "I'd been starved for too long." ****** "She made me feel so desirable, when I'd felt so unwanted for so long." ***In my opinion the fact Iris is so sexually responsive to Alasdair  has a liberating and soothing effect for what regards his emotions.*** "She was just too much.  Everything my bruised ego and trampled heart needed to start to mend themselves." ***However we know that eating the forbidden fruit has consequences and the fall from heaven makes things real. For how long you can live in a bubble world?*** "What on earth were we doing here?  How the hell would we ever fit into each other's lives? The answer was simple and bleak.  We didn't and we wouldn't." ***Alasdair's worries are increased by the mystery Iris is.He doesn't know anything personal about her and she keeps hidden a huge part of her life.*** "And it didn't escape my notice that even when she spoke in detail about herself, about who she was, she gave me absolutely no details as to her actual life, past or present." ***Now I have a theory.First of all I think that Iris let slip her real age (20 yo) during a fight with Alasdair. She affirms she's twenty-four, has a driver's license that confirms so but it's easy to forge fake documents if you want and need them.Iris is more than who she appears to be.Maybe she's the boy who bullied Alasdair in high-school's younger sister or daughter and wants a revenge because of this but abandons her plans when Alasdair confesses her he never once ratted that older boy out for all the bulling.Or maybe all the story is just about a young girl being attracted to an older man but in any case I think there's way more to it than meets the eye.Iris hasn't a car. No prob. I don't have my own either.Iris doesn't possess a cell phone. I can understand this too.  But what's not clear is the reason why she doesn't like or want one.*** "I don't like them," she said, going back to digging through her bag.  "I don't like the idea that they act as a tracking device." ***Seriously, who does think of this for even the slightest moment when considering to buy a cell phone?Is there someone looking for her? Someone she fears may find her from her past?Or doesn't she wanna be found if she runs away from the what may happen in the present?And I do agree with Alasdair.*** "There were a lot of things about her that weren't adding up." ***And to get answers, have more of Iris and Alasdair, more love and more hot sex...we have to wait for the next part of the serie. And here you have my only complaint...why not a full lenght novel? Why?
