About the author

Ian Dalton

11 books194 followers
Ian Dalton is the Kindle-bestselling author of the Victoria Wilde novels, which feature strong, sexy female characters -- women who seize every opportunity for fun and don’t let a little thing like age stand in the way of love or passion.

Dalton brings a fresh perspective on the "erotic romance" genre -- seamlessly working it to the max while poking just a little harmless fun at it along the way. His work has gained fans around the world who have proclaimed his books as "must reads," "mind blowing," and more.

One of Dalton's specialties is capturing the intense desire between an older woman and a younger man who are completely crazy about one another, but are desperately trying to squash their feelings. He brilliantly explores the passionate thoughts floating around in their heads as they pine away. The result is steamy, tender, often funny writing at its best.

However, Dalton's greatest creation is the incomparable, fan favorite Victoria Wilde. The character has emerged as a life-savoring heroine, with readers around the web asking, "What would Victoria do?" We're not always sure but we know it will be fun!

If you enjoy romance stories with flirty banter, steamy sex, and some hilarious escapades as the guy tries to convince his love they’re meant to be, you’ll enjoy Ian Dalton's books.

You can find Ian at www.iandaltonbooks.com or drop him a note at ianwdalton@gmail.com.

Dalton has also released many of his books in a less explicit form under the pen name Luke Young. If you'd like a little less heat with your sex comedy, be sure to check out Young's Friends With…Benefits series.

What a wild ride! This is the 5th (there's a prequel #'d .5) and final installment in the wacky, wild and uber sexy Victoria Wilde series. I have floved every minute of reading it and am going to miss all the characters I've grown to love! This is completely different from any contemporary erotica/romance I've ever read (and that's a GOOD thing!) I will definitely be reading more by the extremely talented Ian Dalton. I think I've learned more from these books than any sex manual could ever teach me. I can't say enough about how much I loved this entire series!

Let me start by saying I'm kinda exhausted. Since discovering the series 4 days ago I have been on a marathon read of all 4. It was worth every minute....(my kids are a bit tired of me shhhhing them). I would recommend you read them all in order as each story flows into the other. This is the fourth book. I'm so glad I could read them together because waiting for the next installement would have driven me mad ( they are that good).

To say I'm gutted for the series to end is an understatement as I've come to adore the characters and I really felt like I had an invested interest in how things turned out for them all. Similarly the series was a riot to read with many laugh out loud moments, my only warning to you is to keep up the Kegel exercises as you'll laugh so hard!

What you can expect is a funny,sophisicated, smart and sexy read with HOT sex scenes as a bonus.

As for me if Brian can be cloned count me in, I'll be first in line......

Wow wow wow!!!!
I loved this book. I want to say its my favourite out of all the Wilde books but I loved them all and can't pick a favourite but this was definitely the most action packed. I have grown to love all the characters and will miss them all.
I hope for another book to find out if Jillian and Brian get that thing they mentioned in there last scene in the book!!

So here I was, sitting at Wicked Girls Book Weekend author event, totally mesmerized by all these authors that I seriously fan girl over, when someone introduces me to Ian Dalton/Luke Young. To be honest, I had never heard of him. So of course, the introducee explains that he writes these extremely erotic, oh so amazing books and I of course was like "where do I sign up?" Funny thing was, at the author event, I won a signed paperback book of "Friends with Partial Benefits" by Luke which is the not so racy version of his Victoria Wilde Series.

Trinity told me that she has read the first book, Inappropriate Thoughts, and as much as I was the one for steamy, I needed to get on this soon! So, that's how I began my extreme love affair with all things Ian Dalton!

In the third installment, Revealing Thoughts, the crazy limber ex-girlfriend shows up threatening to sue Jillian for her recently published book "The Leg Thing." This creates a significant amount of tension as Jillian and Brian prepare for their destination wedding in St. Barts. At the same time, Rob, Jillian's son, has started a new job and is living in a condominium where there appears to be half naked hot chicks at every corner. Now, if it was me, I would have been suspicious. As the wedding weekend approaches, Jim is coming with his now girlfriend Caroline, Rob is bringing an old girlfriend Laura, and Victoria is alone, suffering through a condition and situation that only Jillian is aware of. It would be a Jillian and Brian situation if there wasn't someone getting naked, some deep secrets being revealed, and everyone getting it on like rabbits! I think this was probably the funniest book in the entire series to me.

Last but certainly not least is Second Thoughts. Ian did a great job of wrapping up the story lines and really giving the readers what I think we all wanted. We find out the outcome of the court case between Jillian and the crazy ex. We learn the outcome of Victoria's secret and Rob finally starts to figure out that maybe things are not alright at his apartment complex and job.

Even though Brian Nash is concerned that without a job or any career prospects, he might forever be known as Jillian's younger boy toy, his first priority is to do anything he can to help his wife get through the highy televised trial that will decide if Jillian used his ex-girlfriend Natalie as a character in her book without her permission. Although Victoria is thrilled to be pregnant with her first child, she wonders if she made a mistake sending Jim away and into the arms of a woman she thinks would be better suited for him than she could ever be. Rob, attracted to Bridget a woman he would like to get to know better, gets his wish when he finds himself entangled in one of the most awkward positions imaginable. Second Thoughts is the fourth book in the Victoria Wilde series. With many erotic authors spending so much time on the serious tone of their stories, a certain amount of realism can fall by the wayside. Ian Dalton has mixed erotic romance and a healthy dose of humor with characters that are fun to get to know, relate to and fall in love with. The openness, in which they share details of their sex lives, their bodies, and their broken hearts along with exploring new ways to pleasure each other, creates an entertaining background to these hot, sexy, heartfelt stories. I have read and highly recommend this entire series.

Good read. I really liked these books. My only complaint is the serial nature with all the cliffhangers. Finally, in this installment we start to see resolution of storylines that have run through all 4 books. Everyone winds up at some sort of end point.

I have to admit, I was a little leery about reading an erotic romance series written by a guy. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny and HOT! I am looking forward to reading more from him!
