Walk
on the Wild Side by Larry Archer
Self-published
on Amazon KDP
Co-workers
Sandy and Kim are desperate. They have done everything they can think
of to get their husbands to pay them some sexual attention. They’ve
lost weight, purchased new, provocative wardrobes, tried to arrange
intimate times together, to no avail. Sandy’s husband is a
workaholic, while Kim’s spouse seems to view her as nothing more
than his personal maid.
Frustrated
and annoyed, the best friends decide to attend an introductory,
educational session on the swinging lifestyle, organized by the
notorious strip club The Fox’s Den. Under the expert direction of
club co-owner Foxy, the women-only workshop soon turns into a lesbian
orgy. Kim and Sandy, horny from neglect and ripe for new experiences,
discover an unexpected affinity for their own sex. But pussy-eating
and strap-on dildos are only the beginning of their adventures.
Soon
they’re happily competing for the sexual attention of club owner
Larry as well as the shy but hunky security guard Steve. Foxy
continues to guide them in their increasingly outrageous explorations
of the dark side, though to be honest, they need very little
encouragement!
Walk
on the Wild Side is
the most recent book in Mr.
Archer’s series about swingers Foxy and Larry and their no-holds,
no-holes, barred strip club. Anyone who follows my blog will know that
I’m quite a fan of Larry’s smutty tales, to the point that I’ve
set five of my own books in the same fictional world. I thought that
Walk on the Wild Side
might well be the best installment yet. The first half, in
particular, in addition to being sexy as hell, is also really well
structured. Sandy and Kim are distinctive, sympathetic characters.
Actually, I feel that the book’s subtitle, which describes them as
“bored, cheating housewives” is quite unfair. (For one thing,
they’re not housewives, but career women!) They’re enthusiastic
about their journey over to the dark side, but the two women approach
the prospect somewhat differently. Kim actually starts to fall in
love with Steve – though of course that doesn’t stop her from doing the
nasty with practically every other woman and man in the book.
This
book gives a more central role to Foxy than many of the previous
titles I’ve read. She’s the ringmaster (or perhaps ring-mistress)
for everyone’s escapades. Although she’s still an insatiable slut
(as are most of the other characters), she comes across as more
intelligent, intuitive and responsible than in some of Larry’s
other books. At least, that was my impression.
The
plot spins out of control a bit in the second half. In particular,
there are some continuity problems, where characters mention
activities that I, at least, missed. For instance both Kim and Sandy
mention that Larry (the
character) had popped their
anal cherries. I certainly didn’t remember that happening.
And
I do wish Larry (the author) would learn how to use question marks
correctly!
Overall,
though, I really enjoyed Walk on the Wild Side.
If you like outrageous, juicy, guilt-less sex with a wide range of
partners, you will, too.
