Parties

Parties Girls Weekend Book 2

C.M. Nascosta2022
Several months after a weekend girls' trip, suburban elves Lurielle, Ris, and Silva are still affected by their experiences at the resort and the orcs they met there. Lurielle discovers that being in a multi-species relationship presents its own unique challenges: meeting Khash's family, introducing him to hers, and facing the harsh realities that lie ahead if they stay together. A lifetime together or a lifetime apart — she must decide if she can bear all that the future holds. When Ris returns to the resort on a whim, an unexpected encounter with a slightly familiar face upends this elf's desire to be a free as the wind. Ainsley is simultaneously everything and nothing that she's looking for - smart and sexy and completely unattached, and happy to stay that way . . . but how long can they "keep things casual?" Silva struggles juggling her two halves: Daytime Silva, crushed beneath the expectations of her family and snobbish Elvish society, and Silva of the Nighttime, unfettered and free, seeing Tate in secret. When her web of lies tangles beyond her control, she must make a choice — will she follow the carefully mapped life of privilege her family has planned for her in their Elvish community . . . or throw it all away to follow her heart, for a man with his own heart full of secrets. Parties is a multi-POV story, following all three girls through a succession of soirees, each one winding their separate storylines — and the work friends — tighter together.

"If I were to try to put this big old dragon in your skinny little friend Silvia, it would come out of her mouth." (398) CM Nascosta's sequel to GIRLS WEEKEND is a gem of a book; honestly, my expectation of a 200-page sequel would be PARTIES—GIRLS WEEKEND was a short read, but PARTIES is not. 👏🏾 In comparison to Nascosta's first novel, PARTIES is approximately ~500 pages in length, and as a result, it is ✨so✨ much better in many ways; witnessing the development of each girl and their relationship was a treasure, and I am extremely grateful for the experience. 😭 PARTIES was the perfect combination of eroticism and authenticity. Lurielle and Khash are dealing with their respective family dynamics and how they intend to raise their future children by getting used to their new routine; Ris and Ainsley are navigating the relationship they desire and what they expect from one another; Silva and Tate, who I found so engaging in this novel, are navigating the concept of being in a relationship as well as revealing some of their secrets. In PARTIES, the insecurities that creep into relationships are so well-detailed and, although the characters are elves and orcs, the emotional pull to their relationships is ✨still✨ so compelling. The end of the book leaves the reader feeling attached to the characters and wanting to root for each of them even as Lurielle faces her self-esteem issues with Khash and her family, or Silvia wonders if Tate will ever truly let her heart be his. There were well-defined conflicts that were enjoyable to hear about and experience, but never overwhelming or excessive. There is an exceptional quality to Nascosta's writing; it is sensual, illuminating, and truly stands out from the rest. Because the sexual scenes are so well written, I am often in awe. They are a treasure trove of what makes this book true eroticism, as it is so incredible and benevolent in its openness to being sexual in all ways. (ALLLLLL ways!) Rarely do I find a novel as kinky and welcoming as this, and I am looking forward to the next chapter in these girls' stories. Those who are looking for erotic monster novels will find this one to be very enjoyable.
