Series: The Wild Side 1

My Rate: 

Alasdair Masters is in a rut.  He just hit forty, has been nearly celibate for the past year, and his life has turned into a daily sequence of lonely patterns that revolve around avoiding human contact.
His tidy life is turned on its head when a hot young blonde at the gym that’s been pseudo-stalking him decides to rock his world.  A very young blonde.  Way, way too young for him.  The problem is, he can’t seem to tell her no, and she just keeps coming back for more.
It doesn’t help that he’s ninety percent sure she’s a criminal, and still, he can’t seem to turn her down.  What is a dull introvert to do when a chaotic cyclone that oozes sexuality comes twisting into his life?  
At first, he thinks she’ll give him a heart attack, but after his twenty-year marriage ended a year ago, he’s been a little lost, and when she comes crashing into his life, he realizes that he’s never felt more alive.
Is a walk on the wild side just what he needs to get his on track or a disaster in the making?  Is it possible for someone that much younger to be just what he needs, or is she a fortune hunter, as everyone keeps telling him?  Is it his hormones telling him that the mysterious younger woman is the one, or could it be more?

The Wild Side is one of my savior books, it is very short and has a high goodreads rate. I don't even mention the introduction.

We love books and consequently, we are in love with authors half the time. Alasdair, narrator of the book in his 40s, hits gym like crazy, newly divorced and consider himself ancient. (common! he is like Adonis incarnate!) When one day, a beautiful and very young girl hits on him, he does not know what to do. He wants her (very much!) but age! She is very very young.

In the end, they go to the Alasdair'in house and things get really hot. But there is a problem, she does not share any of her personal life; she is like ghost. If she decides to go, no way to get a hold of her. She overwhelms him but she does not want anything. Alasdair is a rich man.

I loved  this book and because it is short, i am frustrated. It is a blessing and a curse, don't know i it! I cannot wait to read next novella!

In the book, there was one scene, old bitch of wife comes and tries to use Alasdair and our hot little minx without rising her voice or entering a fight, ruins her. I love that scene. It is very interesting, liberating book. Not your classic hot male seduces girl, but hot young girl ruins a man. It is a book worth to read. You will just want to get your hands in next novella.

Obsidian || Jennifer L. Armentrout

 Starting over sucks.
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don't kill him first, that is.

Despite her best intentions, when Kasie Fitzgerald enters the casino and sees him, a man whose tailored clothes belied a powerful, even dangerous, presence, she loses herself to the moment.

It was supposed to be just one night. But right as she’s thinking she wants more, he shows up in her office with an agenda. As the billionaire CEO of a company that’s engaged her PR firm, his demands just became her reality...and he desires so much more than just some attention in the boardroom.
