The Wild Side #2
Iris
ARE YOU READY FOR A TWIST?
Who is Iris? Where did she come from? Where has she gone?
Alasdair Masters has more questions than answers about his new, too young obsession, and when he finds out she’s been lying to him, from their first meeting to their last one, he’s more confused than ever about her feelings, her intentions.
And what’s just as confusing are his own feelings. Has he turned something purely physical into something emotional in his own head? Is any of it mutual?
The only thing he doesn’t question is whether he’ll keep going back for more.
DAIR
Me, I was simple. I was order. A very neat, efficient machine that ran on nothing but air.
Me plus anyone else, well, that was another matter. And me plus Iris, that was a monster of a machine, with all gears going at different speeds, some spinning off their hinges, just going mad, but it was a wonderful madness, at full throttle, misfiring in all directions.
It felt wonderful and dreadful.
I was breaking down, and it felt amazing.
And terrifying.
This book is intended for readers 18 and up.

4 Secret stars!
I would love to say after reading Iris, all my many questions from Wild Side were answered. But I can’t. I have even MORE questions after reading the second installment of this sexy and mysterious series.
Iris has been gone for two months. Dair is worried. He misses her and he’s scared of what could have happened. Out of nowhere, Iris comes storming right back into Dairs life. She has no answers for him. She can’t tell him what she’s doing or where she goes, she just shows up when she can. When he asks about her past, he gets no answers.
All Dair wants is to have Iris with him. He isn’t as freaked about the age difference as he once was, he just wants her. Wants to be there for her, to save her from whatever it is she's into.
I really wanted Iris to open up more to Dair. She seemed even more evasive in this book than the first. I would like to say I have all these ideas about who Iris really is, what she’s into etc. But I only have one small inkling of what it could be and even thats far fetched. I also want to know more about Jag guy. Especially after the sneak peek we got front he next book.
What I love about these stories is that they’re all from Dair’s pov. It’s always nice to get the male perspective, and an entire book of it is awesome. RK Lilley’s writing is always wonderful and once again, she brought the heat! Again, we get a killer cliffy, but at least the wait isn’t long for the final one. On a side note, we meet another interesting character in this installment… Turner ‘The Tyrant’, one of Dair’s author friends. I loved this guy. And it looks like we are getting some sort of spin off about him! I’m ecstatic about that!
I’ve enjoyed this series a lot. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out. The final installment will be out later this month and I’m stoked!!!

“I know nothing about your past.”
“We aren’t defined by our pasts. We are who we are. You don’t have to know where I grew up, what year I was born, to know the woman in front of you.”

”My life is messy…”
I liked this second book SO much better than the first installment of this series!!
This book was very hot and very mysterious. There was a surprise appearance of characters from a previous series and a few new characters added to the mix. Dair's fellow author friend, Turner Thorn was just fantastic, I absolutely love him. As for the hot mystery guy, he's pretty intriguing as well.
Dair and Iris meet up again two months after she takes off in book one and the sex and the suspense proceeds to reach new heights…
”I don’t have good judgment when it comes to you.”
Maybe good judgment is overrated. Maybe it’s time for you to be bad.”
This book is told completely in Dair’s pov, but this time around maybe because he grew on me, but I really enjoyed ride. Iris is totally mysterious and Dair tries getting answers but she’s very elusive and there were a few hints as to what is going on and so many more things to question…
This installment ends with a cliffhanger and has a teaser (completely exciting - dont skip!) for the upcoming book Dair to be released on July 25th.
”In a world full of lies, you were my truth. You were my light and my compass. I may have been cursed with a short life, but you made it worthwhile.”

Dair has been going crazy in the two months since Iris left. He's looked everywhere he can think of but can't find her so instead he's immersed himself in everything and anything. One of those anythings is meeting up with a fellow author at a coffee shop where Iris just happens to turn up and turn his world upside down again.
Well, one word about this series is that it is infuriating! Just when you think you might get a clue or two about Iris, things get even more crazy and confusing. She's admitted to lying and she talks in circles so Dair can't trust her. Slowly but surely he is catching on to her ways.
One thing that hasn't changed is that they are as hot as ever and they don't care when or where they do it. Cops and ex-wives are no deterrent!
Dair has also gotten back in touch with another author friend, Turner. Turner is quite the player and quite yummy but he's definitely being a great friend to Dair. (I would love a book about him...hint, hint!)
Iris also has a friend who is yummy and just happens to drive a Jaguar. I have a sneaky suspicion of who he might be and it will be interesting if it pans out. (And that also leads to who I think Iris is but we'll see.)
Of course, the ending leaves us...and Dair hanging but RKL is wonderful about leaving us with an excerpt for the next book and thankfully we don't have to wait too long!
Favorite quotes
♥ “Yes. You have the best voice, like a stern school teacher.”
My brain short-circuited for a bit before I could respond. “You say the most outrageous things.”
♥ “Well, you’re my friend, and I feel sorry for you. Forty years old without an ounce of game. Sad old bastard."
♥ “It’s never enough. Never."
♥ "That second time was no way to get me pregnant."
♥ "In a world full of lies, you were my truth. You were my light and my compass. I may have been cursed with a short life, but you made it worthwhile.”

4.5 Delicious Dair Stars!
(BR with Sharon, Patty & Denisse)
Book two picks up about two months after Iris and Dair argued, and she disappeared. Dair misses Iris and just wants her back. He tries to keep busy writing, going to the gym, and hanging out with old friends. No matter how much he tries to distract himself, he can't quit thinking and obsessing over Iris.
One day she shows up out of the blue, and he is so happy to see her, he decides he will take whatever part of her she will give him. He knows she has secrets, and starts to worry she might be in danger. He wants to protect her, and take care of her, but she won't let him. She continues to show up, and then disappear.
Even though Dair is constantly thinking Iris is lying to him, he still can't help how he feels about her. The sexy time is still off the charts hot! That Dair is just on fire!!! ;)) Can't wait to get book 3, to see what happens with this couple & get more answers about the mystery that is Iris!
-I'd missed her. I'd take her any way I could get her, whether it was for minutes or hours, for torture or satisfaction.
-Iris was adorable, and sexy, and too good to be true.
-Iris made me feel human again, and I needed that more than I'd ever realized.

*****4 STARS*****
(BR with Dee, Mel, and Sharon)
R.K. Lilley delivers another scorching hot and delectable installment in "The Wild Side" series with "Iris".
Dair has been utterly devastated by Iris' disappearance for the past two months.
He spends his time with friends that he lost touch with during his divorce and they help him to cope somewhat with the loss of Iris, but always in the back of his mind, is this mysterious woman who completely had him captivated.
Iris pops up out of the blue, two months later, still being very vague and never giving Dair the answers he needs.
It was both torment and solace to look at her again.
An agonizing comfort.
Now there is a mystery man in Iris' life, and we only get glimpses of him and never any info on who he is to her.
I've got my suspicions about mystery hottie and what Iris' secret really is!!!
I loved Dair's fellow author friend, Turner.
I wouldn't mind it if he gets his own book or series!! :)
The sex was incredibly HOT yet again, but this time it seems that Dair has become quite a skilled lover.
He was insatiable and I LOVED IT!!!
He's also being a little more relentless with his questions for Iris.
He knows she is a liar but still he is so consumed by her that he'd do anything to keep her with him.
This one does end on a cliffy, but it's not too bad, since we get a teaser to the next book at the end.

After two months, Iris is back in Dair’s life!!!! And yes, immediately they are at it again….you know..sex!!!!
I have to admit that I do rather like these two characters together. I find Iris a very interesting and intriguing character. What is she all about? What are her secrets that keep her doing all these disappearing acts and coming back without warning, in the middle of the night?
We do get some snippets about her life but just when I thought…yes, this is it…she’s finally going to tell Dair everything about her…bam…not even close……
Poor Dair…by now he’s so totally in love and lust for this gorgeous and mysterious woman that he can’t anything of anything else but her….and he just cannot get enough of her bodacious body…..okay, he loves her mind too…but whenever she’s close…his head goes somewhere else….he needs her…really, that’s what he says…
We know Iris’s life is in danger…what could it be? Please can we find out soon!!!!!
Guess all the questions and secrets will be revealed in the next book, which is the final in this series.
I own up….. I’m hooked!!!!
Iris is the 2nd novel in The Wild Series and naturally there are a lot and I mean a lot of pages filled with some very hot and sizzling sex between the older Dair and younger Iris. However, there’s definitely more of a plot in this one than the first book.

“She was soothing chaos. Like that first taste of anaesthesia, before you lost your senses. Or the venom that numbed you before it killed you. I really couldn’t decide which.”
I have never read a book that left me even more clueless in the end than I was at the beginning of it. Until now. Filled to the brim with clues, hints, even small revelations, and yet I am still as blissfully perplexed as I was at the end of The Wild Side. From the moment we dive back into this story, starving to decipher the plotline and figure out the enigma that is Iris, we cling onto every word, every double meaning, every half-truth, only to realise that no matter how many theories we concoct in out heads, we will only remain privy to what the author allows us to know. Nothing is obvious, nothing is predictable, and every delicious moment of ignorance is outright addictive. I am so in love with this series, I could cry!
“Which one was the real Iris?”
Dair is heartbroken, lost, desperate to find the girl who turned his life upside down and changed him forever. But Iris has been missing for two months and every moment spent with her seems like a dreamlike memory. His body has craved her unquenchably every second she has been gone, but his heart has missed her even more. During the short time they spent together, she has changed him, revived his spirit and awoken the fire he never knew was in him. Before Iris, Dair’s life was a predictable collection of routines, but her passion, tenderness and generosity both with her affections as well as her body have lit up a spark in him that won’t go away, even without her now in his life.
“Me, I was simple. I was order. A very neat, efficient machine that ran on nothing but air… And me plus Iris, that was a monster of a machine, with all gears going at different speeds, some spinning off their hinges, just going mad, but it was a wonderful madness, at full throttle, misfiring in all directions.”
And then she suddenly reappears. And we are once more running at full tilt, Dair and Iris using every stolen moment to lose themselves in each other’s arms, but the weight of every unanswered question and every doubt taints those moments, making Dair more and more desperate for answers. We are finally offered subtle hints of Iris’s life, but they barely paint a picture for us to ponder on, giving us very little insight into her character. All we see is what Dair gets to see—a young woman who shows her love selflessly and freely, a woman who craves affection herself, who has found something beautiful and precious in Dair, and who is not afraid to take risks to have it, as short-lived as it may be. All she asks of Dair, all she has ever asked of him, is to accept her as she is with him, stripped bare from her past or present, and embrace the truth of her feelings for him.
“We aren’t defined by our pasts. We are who we are. You don’t have to know where I grew up, what year I was born, to know the woman in front of you.”
But as their bodies satisfy their thirst for each other, and as their hearts become more and more entwined, Iris’ secrets keep feeding Dair’s insecurities and his fear of losing her again, every fleeting second with her tearing him even more apart. We are left with another heart-stopping ending, one that alludes to a million different possibilities, and makes us none the wiser regarding what is to come. The mystery of this story is simply exhilarating, no other way to put it, the anticipation of what comes next being half the fun in my eyes. I am STARVING already for the final instalment and I love it!
“In a world full of lies, you were my truth. You were my light and my compass.”

Two months. Two months have passed since Dair last saw Iris. Months spent seeing her face in crowds of strangers, fantasizing that he found her again...
Trying to cure himself of his self imposed prison, Dair slowly begins to acclimate himself again with friends and the outside world. Not a single one of them can help him solve the mystery that is Iris. But Iris returns, even if just for mere hours or a few stolen days at a time. And with each word spoken, Dair knows that only bits of truth are tucked securely within the lies. But he doesn't seem to care as long as he can still have her.
Well going into any book by RKL, it's a given that it's going to be absolutely loved. It's just how it is. I am thoroughly enjoying this format to this series and although I have some theories as to just what might be going on, the mystery of Iris is done fantastically. This was bordering on about a 4 star but then we meet Turner. Beyond Dair & Iris, the introduction of Turner gets its own star. I think I started wanting more time with this side character by the time I was nearing the end, he is one of those characters that you instantly want to have their own book.
I can say without a doubt that I have been pulled into this story and the mystery of Iris. I had hoped for more answers, but I think in a way we got some of those by little hints that were given away throughout the story. I think if my theory is correct, we are in for one helluva ride in the next book.

I immediately started this as soon as I finished The Wild Side and that cliffhanger just made me more curious about Iris.
I say this is more intriguing than the first book [YES MORE STORY! It still has smut haha. hot smut]. It starts from 2 months after Iris goes missing. Dair can't stop thinking about her when she left and hoping that she's okay. When she showed up, Dair is determined to make her open up to him. The lady sure has a secret and she's good at keeping it. I'm still figuring out what her secret is. DAMN. I still have no clue what's her drama.
I hope the last book will answer all this mystery. R.K. Lilley surely kept me intrigued. ;)

2.5-star ***SPOILERS***
Like an expanded sex-scene version of Book1 & seems unnecessary. Aside from the constant sex, h repeatedly disappeared for days/weeks without informing H with help of a blonde guy. h's true ID still a mystery, especially since she refuses to answer H's questions & cryptically telling H that she'd put both of them in danger if she told him any more details. Meh romance/romance development/emotional since so sex-based. Iffy characterization since h's continues her game-playing/passive-aggressiveness & using sex as a weapon to lure H. While H was a mix of desperate & confident and sexy dominant & unsure.
Cliffhanger ending(h finally tells H that she's actually 18 & not 24 like she told him in Book1. And that she loves him. He's upset about their greater age difference, which upsets her so she leaves him again for a longer time. After 2 months, H is taken by the blonde guy to see h).

I liked this one a bit less than the first. Still not much of a plot, but I'm hoping that the last book will answer some questions!

I don't even know where to begin. At first I thought the mystery of Iris would probably be something mundane and that of course with it being a mystery we are all going to go for the most convoluted ideas... I have no idea what is actually going on with her at this point. LOL! I have many theories and I won't share any of them just in case one is right.
I loved the sex in this book. I still haven't figured out how R.K. Lilley manages to keep coming up with creative ways to describe two people banging. But she does, and I LOVE HER FOR IT!!! This book will melt the pages on your e-reader at times for sure. Dair was just divine and what any chick would want an older man to be. He was loving and affectionate he also was rough and demanding at times. Mmmm, good stuff!
I absolutely cannot WAIT for Dair to come out, and thankfully we don't have to wait that long, less than a month!!! READ IT!!!

OMG!
You were my first love and my last, but I shouldn’t be yours.
This book is soooooo over sexed, BUT not in a bad way! The sex didn't get boring even for a second.
R.K Lilley writes so well, thats its impossible to keep the book down once it gets going. I didn't even want to skip any scene, which I do sometimes when things get draggy!
I loved this book!!! :D
IRIS-
She was soothing chaos. Like that first taste of anesthesia, before you lost your senses.
Or the venom that numbed you before it killed you.
I loved all the characters, all mental and secretive! AMAZING

3.5-4 What the Fuck Stars!!
Well, I am gonna just give this book 3.5-4 stars even though I am highly pissed off right now. Again we got virtually no answers and a huge cliff hanger of an ending. I blame myself for reading these serial novellas before they are ALL out. I can tell that this series is going to be really good (yeah, by the way, there are THREE more books, not one), with the little pieces that have been drip fed to us, but all in all, I am left feeling just generally annoyed!!
The writing is really good, because it's R.K. Lilley so, come on, and the sex was hot, as usual. Otherwise, my favorite part of the book was Turner...hmmmm, I really hope Turner gets his own book! What a sexy, arrogant prick! Can't wait to see him get what he deserves, just like Dair predicts!!

Review after a re-listen years later:
Iris is sooo mysterious and I looove her! Dair is absolutely obsessed and we love to see it!
I could have done without the 40 year old vs 18 year old cat fight over a man... super disgusting. But this was book being so hot made up for it.
I plan to re-listen to this every year!

I really don't see the point of reading a book where after reading the book all you feel is
I just read a book with no plot or no character development whatsoever, where I had to read annoyingly and painfully long descriptions of characters rabbit fucking and how *mind numbingly * gorgeous the heroine was that EVERY man in the vicinity salivated at her sight throughout the book
only to be left with a cliffhanger in the end.

Meh. 2.5 stars.
Nothing really happened in Iris in terms of storyline-progression. It was more of the same stuff from book 1. They have sex...she leaves. She strolls back into his life...they have sex...she leaves... *yawn*
Yes, the sex scenes were hot, and their chemistry in undeniable, but I wanted more because I knew all of this stuff from book 1.
Iris was more of a page-filler than anything else really =/

Honestly.... I didn't see a point to his book. Was similar to book one and no additional information.... Rinse/repeat. End

Waiting... Waiting... and more waiting for something dramatic to happen.

Corto, fácil y divertido de leer. Ella sigue jugando con su mente, no le dice nada, nos deja a todos con la duda. Eso va a matar a Dair, eso de "sigue adelante", jajaja, que tonterías. ¿No sabe lo obsesionado/enamorado que está él de ella?

Sinfully seductive and provocative, this exhilarating second installment is one wild ride. The suspense consumes and the chemistry sets the pages ablaze. You won’t put this book down for a single second!
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh. You know that feeling when you are so into a book and you’re dying to know what happens… and the plot thickens, the twists get twistier, the mystery deepens and it’s so good because you feel the answers just infinitesimally out of reach, but oh-so close? It’s a wonderfully, exhilarating, suspenseful feeling… right up until it ends and you’re left with your mouth wide open, shocked and restraining a strong desire to send inappropriate messages to that story’s author! Yup. R.K. Lilley did it again. She’s woven an addictive tale I can’t seem to get enough of. I was so into this book and I left with more questions than answers. It was supremely sexy. Deliciously suspenseful. And entirely captivating. This series may be driving me mad, but mad in the best possible way. You thought The Wild Side was hot… this is hotter. You thought it was full of mystery… this takes it to another level. You thought you knew something… you don’t know anything.
Who is Iris????
Iris left Dair. Deep down, he expected that would happen. She was something different. Something wild and uncontained. A force that brought unexpected verve into his life… he knew she would be difficult to keep.
And she was full of lies.
But yet, he missed her desperately. His life had been irrevocably changed because of her and now he was acutely aware of her absence. Until one day he saw her… she met his gaze and the chaos whirled all over again. Iris was definitely Dair’s weakness. She was an addiction—an obsession he was powerless to abandon. He couldn’t say no to her. She would overpower him with her tenacity. With her touch. Her love?
We don’t know where Iris has been. We don’t know who she really is. We do know, however, that there is some kind of constraint that keeps her from seeing Dair as much as he’d like. We can see this affecting him at a visceral level. Iris was a drug to him. A insatiable need. She made him feel real, alive. And without her, he was bereft of all the goodness she brought. But Dair is an intelligent man, and despite the beautiful chaos she brought to his life, he needed to know more. The desire to get answers relentlessly pounded under the surface.
The dynamic between Dair and Iris is so fascinating to take in. I would say there’s a fight for control, but in reality, there isn’t much of a fight when Dair is powerless to her. She seems to want him, need him, love him, but we really don’t know if there’s truth behind her convictions. For Dair, he’s willing to take what he can get from her… limited time. Even hours. And worse yet, he can feel trouble looming. Was their last goodbye coming?
This book is on fire. It’s so hot. So suspenseful. So intriguing. R.K. Lilley expertly creates a consuming sense of collusion that is thoroughly unsettling. Duplicity and desire. Sex and seduction. Lies and love. So many things are at play, that I didn’t have a grasp of what was real and what was manipulation. And it was that intrigue that kept me devouring page after page, waiting to see what would happen next. I anxiously await the final installment, Dair, to see how it all will end! I can’t wait!
“She was soothing chaos. Like that first taste of anesthesia, before you lost your sense. Or the venom that numbed you before it killed you.”

Who is Iris????
“It was Iris, but Iris was a stranger… It was like she was a curious, wild, imaginary creature, with the pieces of her just now put together, invented for my eyes, not how I remembered at all, because even when she’d been angry, she had never been cold… Which one was the real Iris?”

“It was both torment and solace to look at her again. An agonizing comfort. Me, I was simple. I was order. A very neat, efficient machine that ran on nothing but air… And me plus Iris, that was a monster of a machine, with all gears going at different speeds, some spinning off their hinges, just going mad, but it was a wonderful madness, at full throttle, misfiring in all directions.”

Sigue sin saberse mucho de Iris, y nuevamente: Iris se ha ido.
Puede que estas historias cortas no sean, porque no son, lo mejor que se me ocurra leer, pero es innegable que aportan un entretenimiento agradecido.
Leer a Alasdair una vez más perder la cordura, estribos, cabeza, por esta mujer llena de tantos misterios es todo un poema.
Hay incluso más problemas, más preguntas, más Te amos, más sexo que el primer tomo. Y sin embargo puede que alguna que otra pista de lo que es Iris se haya dado por ahí.
