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.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd || Agatha Christie


Agatha Christie’s genius for detective fiction is unparalleled. Her worldwide popularity is phenomenal, her characters engaging, her plots spellbinding. No one knows the human heart or the dark passions that can stop it better than Agatha Christie. She is truly the one and only Queen of Crime.
The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd
Village rumor hints that Mrs. Ferrars poisoned her husband, but no one is sure. Then there’s another victim in a chain of death. Unfortunately for the killer, master sleuth Hercule Poirot takes over the investigation.







I just finished and the only thing in my mind is ” Agatha Rocks”. I have never read one of her books, i love the genre but.. you know i have other things to read etc.
You never expect what gonna happen, who is the murderer. Even you are suspect of yourself in one point. I strongly sugest the book, if you like the genre, that is it.
