Synopsis:
Three elves travel to an orc nudist resort for a wild and dirty weekend. Spirited Ris is ready to make her wildest dreams come true. Lurielle is open to temptation. Silva isn’t so sure. But what happens at the orc nudist resort stays at the orc nudist resort… Except it doesn’t.
So, if you don’t patronize establishments like this—I’ll pretend not to be offended, by the way—how, I wonder, did such a bitty little elf learn how to drink like a middle-aged troll on a midsummer holiday?
My Review:
I enjoyed Girls Weekend so much. The three elf friends are each so different, which makes for varied and captivating experiences.
Ris
Ris (who gives me Rizzo from Grease vibes) is the most outgoing of the three, with risqué clothes making her intentions clear. Her bucket list includes lawn orgies and getting spit-roasted by orcs. But fantasy and reality are two separate things, and I really loved how her expectations were far different from her experiences.
Lurielle
If you’ve read Morning Glory Milking Farm and A Blue Ribbon Romance (check out my review here), you know about Khash and Lurielle. This is their origin story. Lurielle first sets eyes on Khash as he’s coming out of a lake, buck naked, prominent endowment on display. She doesn’t expect to run into him later, nor for him to be so charming. It’s just a weekend thing, she tells herself, pushing down the nasty voices in her head and allowing herself to resign to pleasure.
I could relate to Lurielle so much. She’s internalized the negativity from her mother and her ex-boyfriend, who always made her think she wasn’t ever good enough. So anytime she wants to try something new or wear a semi-revealing outfit, their voices are there telling her she can’t have nice things. Khash, with his Southern gentlemanly manners, is a breath of fresh air.
Lurielle felt herself tipping over the edge, following the promise of his syrupy voice, coating her name the way her slick coated his fingers.
Silva
Silva has been raised in the upper classes of elvish society, her future carefully curated by her elders. Silva of the daytime does as she’s told, following their plans and accepting her fate with grace. But Silva of the nighttime wants to let loose and follow her heart. She may not have realized they were headed to a nudist resort, but when she meets Tate, the gorgeous barkeep, there’s so much more than meets the eye. A weekend with him makes it very hard to shove Silva of the nighttime away. It’s so easy to get pulled into Silva’s story and root for Silva of the nighttime to break free and reign.
For example, little dove, right now the Orcish part of me wants to see those beautiful lips of yours wrapped around my cock, while the Fae in me wants to keep you on your knees until I’m through with you, but the Elvish part of me is too much of a gentleman to ever say such crass things to a lass as lovely as yourself.
Final Thoughts:
With Nascosta’s fantastic world-building, carefully crafted characters, and superb attention to detail, Girls Weekend is a fantastic romp that flies by much too quickly. I’ll be giving this one a reread very soon for sure.
Author Stalking (but not in a creepy way):
