Susan's Weekend #1
The Hen Weekend
Susan began to explore the power of her body in Changing Rooms, and in The Hen Weekend we follow her journey as she pushes her limits, and tests the limits of those around her. Susan's journey is a story of self-exploration and empowerment as she discovers the attention the naked body can command when she is allowed to dictate the terms on which she is revealed.

About the author
Kara Bryn
13 books14 followersI'm a writer, and now I'm an erotic writer under another name. It's not just about Fifty Shades of Bandwagon, though, as I've found that writing erotica is not only more fun than "normal" writing, but that self-publishing is much harder work. The good thing is that while this is more hobby than job I can let my imagination wander.
I like my characters to come out of my stories with fewer clothes, but more self-esteem, than they went in with. My writing is very much at the softcore end of erotica so you won't find too many wotsits penetrated by wotnots, but you will find some gentle nakedness and delight in sensuous nude forms.
I love to imagine myself in the situations I place my characters into and I hope my readers do too.

I think that there was either a personality change, or my view of the main character was "just enough" off to misinterpret what I had seen in the first part of this series. First part, the short story that appeared before this book here, followed an older sophisticated type woman as she learned the joy of public nudity in a non-naturaist area.
Or, more specifically: an older woman, recently divorced (if I recall correctly, didn't come up in this book here, so I'm not 100% sure if this came up in short story) woman is in a town she's not been in before for a "hen party". She had arrived before the rest of her party. Disliked how frumpy she looked, so proceeded to wander from shop to shop, buying new items, stripping off the old clothing and not putting on the new (saving it for the actual hen party).
This book here picks up where the prior story ended up. With the rest of her weekend in this specific town. And the tone changed, and the activity that occurred changed almost immediately. She wandered down from second floor room down to the spa for a morning massage wearing only a robe. Forgetting, apparently, to wear a swimsuit underneath (it would appear that the spa suggests wearing a swimsuit). Wearing a robe with nothing underneath flows perfectly from the prior night, though here it's because she was forgetful rather than doing something on purpose. And that "not on purpose" continued being an issue with this book. Prior book: woman voluntarily did stuff of a nude nature. Here? It was almost never voluntary.
I meantioned things changed almsot immediately. Well, after the rather nice massage, Susan, the main character, finds that she had fallen asleep in the massage room, and an attendant had "cleaned up" in such a way that left Susan with nothing to put on (yes, she allowed herself to be stripped for the massage, though she'd started off wearing a towel). That's the start of the non-voluntary part (the stripped of the towel is borderline "not purposeful decision", but I meant more the being forced to be naked because no clothing. Or robes. Or towels. She's in a spa, but nope, no towels anywhere. So . . . she decides to return to her room without trying to see if there was an attendant anywhere who could help her. I mean, people in the spa are used to naked people. Rest of hotel? Not so much.
Things continued to flow from here in a less and less voluntary nature (until she was fully in control at a charity event, but let's move on). The rest of the hen party were bitches to her, and, despite the personality on display in prior work, Susan suddenly started to display a rather mean-girl bitch vibe.
Somewhere along the line, this would have been one of those books I'd have had some rather nasty status updates, then a weirdly more positive review because of how everything turned out. If this was a longer work and I had done status updates, at least.
heh. This is hard to write a review while distracted by tv.
Right, so, basically a women continued finding herself naked or near naked, but, instead of in first part of this series, this was less of a voluntary thing. With exceptions. She was meaner than in prior book. Seemed open to lesbian sex in first book, while constantly noting not a lesbian and constantly trying to hook up with men, while also having, as the only actual sex in the book, sex with a woman. Also, from the "I'm so old and frumpy, and beige" from first story, I got the impression she as a fit 50 year old. Finally learned, almost on last page, that she's "30-something".
Right, so. This was an interesting idea, when I got into it with the first short story part of the series, when it was voluntary nudity. The non-voluntary nudity, and then later the mean-girl trying to trick someone else to strip was quite off-putting.
The only sex in this book is between two women, and yet this isn't even on my bisexual shelf. What gives? Well, the one point of view character spent way way too long eyeballing men (which is "okay" if she was bisexual) and way too long thinkin about how she couldn't be a lesbian (while overlooking the concept of bisexuality, and eyeballing the nearly-naked women around her, bah, let's go ahead and add some things).
Right - story takes place in:
1) Hotel/spa/hotel - voluntarily wanders around naked but for robe; involuntarily wanders around naked
2) strip-club - nonvoluntarily stripped naked
3) local woman's apartment - sex with woman
4) gulf club lunch that turned into a charity auction (it always was a charity auction, it's just that the person who booked a table for the hen party didn't pay attention) - voluntary stripping and mean-girl bitchy teasing of another woman and attempting to tease that other woman to strip (plus fat-shaming)
5) an art fair - involuntary public nudity and public bondage
6) strip-club - voluntary mixed with non-voluntary action.
