Because He's Watching: Ian's Obsession

I enjoyed this book for a second time immediately after I'd finished reading Kirsten McCurran's 'Because He's Watching'. This was an interesting exercise that had me switching back and forth between the two books. The story would have been even better if Ian, as promised earlier in the story, had continued to meet up with Ray and thus provided us with the lover's version of his affair with Emily.Kenny Wright is a very good writer and I have enjoyed most of his books except for an ongoing irritation, - a strange moralistic attitude which, in spite of adultery, wanton sexual escapades, etc, insists that that the main characters are 'good people'. Almost invariably there is a 'happy-ever-after' conclusion (and oh,- its OK if you wear a condom!). All of which tends to make the story less realistic and less believable.He is by no means alone in this respect. Several other writers in this particular gendre appear to follow the same wierd morality; - seeking to ligitamise promiscuity with scant regard for the inevitable consequences.

As usual, Kenny Wright has written a book with main characters who seem three dimensional and interesting. I feel it is so important in this genre where feelings both emotional and physical are crucial, that the main players have to feel like real people and I felt that this was achieved with Emily, Ian and Ray. I enjoyed reading of the developing sexual relationship between Emily and Ray and of the effect this had on Ian. There were plenty feelings vividly described throughout the tale and I found myself being frustrated when the conversations between Emily and Ray outwith the earshot of Ian were left to the imagination, this being a testimony to how "into" the story I was getting. I was suprised by the jump in the final scenes of where Emily ended up in her sexual adventures from her hesitancy of just a few chapters before but I suppose that is the nature of this type of story and I wasn't disappointed. I have now downloaded a Kristen McCurran book which apparently is essentially the same story taken from Emily's perspective so this tale seems to be worthy of a second telling and I can't, at the moment, argue with that. Perhaps some of the secret conversations will come to light. This offering from Kenny Wright is highly recommended.

This author's novels all carry a warning, whilst being a turn on.The truth is that few of "we" men really know the women in our lives! She is a independent person with her own fantasies, so be warned!

I read Kirsten McCurran's Because he's watching first and very good it is and this prompted me to read Kenny Wright's version.It's very good especially as I knew the tale. The husband take on things is brilliantly in place and how he knows nothing more than he should. This is not very clear but if anyone has yet to read either book then do, their both compelling.

Great read if you have read because he's watching by Kirsten McCarran this book looks at the story from the husbands side. Even though the story is the same it is different really great if you like books by Kenny Wright you won't be disappointed.

Excellent

Sexy story. Makes me feel good.

Excellent storyline, well written. It would be nice if this story could be continued, perhaps with someone more dominant taking control of her life, at least for a while. Possibly interracial or even another women.
