“I’m still way too old for you.”“Your c*** doesn’t agree.” Her tone was so innocent that it took me a moment to process what she’d said.These novellas should be read in order:Part 1: The Wild SidePart 2:  IrisPart 3: Dair“Was this what a mid-life crisis felt like?  I was a bit young for it, but hell if I had a better explanation for this senseless plunge into chaos.”At first glance The Wild Side (part 1) is a story about a midlife crisis of sorts. 40-year old successful writer and divorce, Alasdair Masters, Dair gave up on his social life and became a recluse after being cheated on.  He is going about his daily routine of working out and taking care of his body when a mysterious young girl, Iris starts timing her workouts to his followed by blatant come-ons. Alasdair fights his attraction, but quickly succumbs and pretty much becomes a rutting h**n dog.Needless to say their sex is off-the-charts…But as I was getting to this story is so much more than that!  Alasdair, from a privileged background had an horrible adolescence and upon marrying at age eighteen an unsatisfying marriage, details to unfold with story.  As story progresses we are given a better understanding why a man as handsome, successful, kind, and caring would become sex obsessed forgoing all common sense.The Wild Side is about >sexual awaking and finding oneself.  Strap on your seatbelt, bumpy road ahead!ALASDAIR MASTERS, “Dair”: 40 years/writer/$$$$/Dark hair/Brown eyes/DivorcedI am hoping as the story progresses and Alasdair Masters, Dair finds himself and his self-confidence we’ll see more of his alpha side.  Currently he has been lead around by his c***.  Seven words to describe Dair: Charismatic, insecure, self-depraving, broken, complex, lovable and focused.IRIS:  24 years/Cigarette girl/Gambler/Light blond hairIris is an enigma, but hopefully we’ll learn more about her in part 2.  Seven words to describe Iris: Secretive, elusive, captivating, caring, seductive, charismatic and slippery.The Wild Side is very much a wild ride of sexual exploration and borderline obsession.  Story moves at breakneck speed only to come to a shocking, yet expected cliff-hanger.  I cannot wait for more of their story to unfold in, part 2, Iris.Interesting and unusual plot!  Mind-blowing and wild sex!  Endearing and sexy hero!  A very mysterious heroine!  I am hooked!***Hero rating: 4+ starsHeroine rating: 4 starsSexual tension rating: 5 starsSex scenes rating: 5 starsSex scenes frequency: 5 starsPlot rating: 4 starsDialogue rating: 4 starsStorytelling rating: 5 starsStory ending rating: N/ABook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): 4.5 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4.5 starsWould I recommend this series: Yes.Would I re-read this series: Maybe later.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
