This latest entry in the Wilder Irish series is a very steamy MMF romance. While the Collins family has always been very open and accepting, Finn Collins never considered he would ever see his best friend Miguel as anything other than a friend. That is until he realizes that not only does his best friend have feelings for him (something he’s almost ready admit he returns) but Miguel also seems attracted to the very woman Finn has set his sights on. Can this new dynamic work for anything other than temporary? As expected Mari Carr delivers plenty of heat. The whole Collins clan is full of such likeable characters that you can’t help but like the books in both of these series!
A best friends to lover that sizzle from start to finish. I always get the giddy feeling when I start reading new books in this series that just gets better and better. I love the characters that this author gives it readers who are just made for each other. Great storyline with the right amount of drama and a heat level that is delicious and sexy. Layla, Finn and Miguel takes a chance as they navigate in a naughty loving that heats up the pages, but when feelings play a factor will it end in a HEA? You definitely need to one click this wonderful romance read that doesn’t disappoint.
A return to the Wilder Irish world with a spicy, wonderful friends to lovers story!!
Once again Mari Carr knocked this book out of the park! Ever since sparks flew between Finn and Miguel, I have been dying to read their story in the Wilder Irish series and she made it even steamier by adding Layla to the mix. Layla wanted to experience the wild side of sex and boy, did she ever get it! I must say I loved Finn’s dominant side in the bedroom and both Layla and Miguel were on the receiving end of all that wildness. This author sure knows how to write super hot sex scenes that can make you blush and I loved every minute of it. I thoroughly enjoyed their connection with each other individually and together. It was wonderful to see Pop Pop and the Collins family again. My heart is always so full when I get to read a story in one of my favorite series.
One of my favorite queens of menage is at it again! While this author writes a wide variety of tropes, some of my very favorites that she has given to us has been her menage romances. They never fail to make the relationships portrayed seem more like real life, than taboo. And this is one of the most beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed this trip on the wild side!
Layla is having a life crisis. Recently out of a very boring, long term relationship, she has decided to let loose, discover who she is and what she has been missing out on. She moves back to her childhood home, realizes her dream of having her own business, and then decides to work on her personal life.
Finn is ……confused. He has feelings for his friend, Layla. But his best friend, Miguel, has feelings for him. He’s never had feelings for a man before. And he isn’t sure what to do, or what he wants. Miguel, on the other hand, knows what he wants, but not how to go about getting it.
This book is just HOT! Explosively, smoking hot, call the fire department hot, surface of the Sun hot! Layla, Finn and Miguel burn the pages up of this book, but that’s not why this book is so amazing. Their connection is amazingly perfect, and almost effortless in it’s simplicity. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of confusion, and drama, but there is no denying how perfect they are together. I absolutely adore this series, and Wild Side just adds to the amazingness of this family!
I could not put this book down until I reached the last page! Mari Carr has such a way with character and storyline building. You feel like you are in the story, you can taste, you can feel especially.
I love the Collins Family, I’m looking at you Pop Pop (Carr, we want him to be around forever!). In this installment, Finn and his best friend Miguel have had sparks between them, but not making any movement towards each other. All it took is Layla, who is looking to let out her wild side to coming storming into their world.
One friend falls for the other, then that friends fall the third, but can they make it all work together? Mari Carr can sure bring out the emotions in her characters. The storyline has you glued to the pages. And let’s not forget how sexy this story was, just amazing. I hope you feel the same way once you turn the last page.
The Colin’s Curse has hit again, this time it is Finn and he accepts it in stride. Finn, Miguel and Layla are wonderful together. You fall in love with them more as the story goes. Wild Side is a steamy, sexy romance and of course Mari Carr adds plenty of humor and a bit of suspense as well. I absolutely love this series and all of the characters. Once I started it I could not put it down until the end. What a great read.
Friends, Lovers or Both?
Book 9 in the “Wilder Irish” series certainly lives up to the Wilder name. Layla wants to explore her wild side. Her friends Finn and Miguel are more than happy to help her. What they don’t expect is the fact that they work better as a unit. Ms. Carr has always had a way of weaving a menage story together perfectly. Love it!

I have loved all of the books in this series and I was waiting not so patiently for Finn and Miguel’s story!!! In previous books, there were little hints and clues that there might be more to Finn and Miguel than just being best friends. I loved the build up for this book and it did not disappoint. The addition of Layla to this friendship/relationship seemed to be a perfect fit. The dynamic among the 3 of them was definitely hot, but I also loved the relationship/love that truly grew among them all. I adore this series and can’t wait for it to continue. So excited to read about Colm next!!!!!
Scratching an Itch never sounded so good. For LJ, Finn and Miguel it was all a ploy. For the men, to be together. For LJ to find her slut- ability. Love had other plans.

I am a huge Mari Carr fan, inhaling all of her books. None more so than those that take me back to the Collins clan.
Wild Side brings us back to the magic of the threesome and how each of the members gets to that place realizing this is for them. We’ve already met Finn and Miguel, best friends who may be on the precipice of more, if they could take those steps. Then Layla comes to town and both men find themselves attracted to her, as she does to them. But Layla’s ready for a little walk on the Wild Side, nothing permanent, just some fun, and what could be more fun than a threesome? 😉
As always, Mari brings us a heartwarming, emotional, and very sexy story. I fell in love with these three characters as they took their own journey toward finding happiness and love. Of course, any trip back to the Collins world means seeing the other Collins characters. We get to catch up with Colm (I’m going to need his story pronto) and Padraig (I still cry), Kelli and Darcy (ditto on the whole story thing), Riley and Aaron. Of course, PopPop is front and center. I think my favorite parts of these books is the beginning and ending scenes with PopPop, I just love him.
Overall, another amazing book in the series, although each book is one book closer to the end of the Collins’ saga, you definitely don’t want to miss the ride!

When things come to a head, it is suggested that the three of them have some fun together. Can they keep it no strings attached or are is something bigger happening?

Love this addition to the Wilder Irish Series!!!
This book is Finn’s (Riley’s son & Sunnie & Darcy’s older brother) book. Finn is straight- or is he & Miguel has been attracted to/in love with him for a year now when Layla from Finn’s past (elementary school) moves back to Baltimore to get away from her 4 overbearing brothers & to be on her own.
The robbery element is very good.
Love that we still have PopPop!!! Especially the beginning (where Finn’s name came from) & the end (PopPop’s photo update)!!
Hmm, I hope Layla’s brothers get their own series…would love to see the ladies that take down those boys!
Once again Mari Carr has given us a piece of the Collins family to swoon over. This story is sweet, funny, smoking hotness, with some suspense thrown in just to keep us on our toes. Wild Side gives us look into how Finn chose to take a leap towards what he wasn’t sure he wanted. Layla learned that what you were certain you wanted isn’t always what you really need. And Miguel finally gets all the friendship, love and family he so needed.
I never want this series to end, ever!

Finn is the sweetest, kindness, most loving, half-witted fool! There, I said it, I love that man, and Ioved him in this book, but really, get off your butt, as his family had to tell him, SEVERAL TIMES, to go and get what you want! It only highlights all of his wonderful traits in the simple line he speaks “What am I going to do with the two of you?”
Miguel is an absolute genius, no, really he is, he utters the most important line in the book. He is patient, methodical, and scared. He could lose it all, or have it all, with Finn, and Finn is being no help, until he is. His genius moment, when it could all start or stop, and he utters “I think the three of us should sleep together.”
Layla, LJ, was fun, witty, adventurous, and so utterly confused! I got the woman’s drive, her reasoning, but like her, when ya got the goods, why back away?. Of course, this all leads to an encounter where I was seriously worried Mari had been lured to the dark side by the bad influences that surround her, but she ended up being her wonderful self. Just don’t do that again, hmm, ‘mkay?
Of course, we all know who is falling next, because he utters the wise words “Not going to lie,” Colm said, “I thought you and I had the best shot at dodging the curse. Turns out it got you twice. Fucking thing is tenacious.”
I love Mari Carr’s writing and her new book, Wild Side, did not disappoint.
Layla moves back to Baltimore to get away from her overprotective family and start over after a long term relationship fizzles out. She vows to start having some fun and embrace her wilder side. She reconnects with her childhood friend, Finn.
Finn is starting to think he’d like to give the Collins’ “curse” of love a try and find that someone special, like so many of his cousins have. But he’d need to find a girl first. Or does he? Finn’s long time buddy, Miguel has been flirting with him harder than ever and Finn starts to wonder if, even though he loves women, he could love Miguel that way.
Miguel always wanted a large family. Things were rough growing up and now he is a police officer. He admires what his friend, Finn’s, family has. He has realized that his feelings for his long-time friend have grown into something deeper. But when he meets Layla while working on a string of robberies, he is smitten.
When the three of them realize their connection, Finn and Miguel wonder if maybe they can help Layla explore her wild side while they explore their feelings for each other.
This book is 3-alarm fire hot. The relationship is sweet. But when they reach Layla’s self-imposed expiration date will they be able to move on?
Hot, sexy, sassy read. A story that has humor, heart, family and friends. You have longtime friends, reunited friends and a chance meeting all wrapped into one story. Great characters and supporting characters along with wonderful writing makes for a book you won’t want to put down. Definitely recommend reading.
