About this listen
Picking up the story six months after the conclusion of The Mansion, Vi and Emma are a happy couple (well, they’re happy, but calling them a couple could be a stretch…) exploring the world of sensuality and pleasure.
The Startup moves the story into the larger world beyond the walls of Brenda and Wendy’s mansion, and introduces us to the curvy and seemingly strait-laced (and straight!) Kim, Vi’s boss and friend from college. When Kim hears of Vi and Emma’s peculiar hobbies, Vi discovers a side to her friend she’s never seen before, with the most delightful results.
Kim needs a break from her dating slump...ultra-successful CEOs don't have much time for hookup apps or blind dates, and while Kim hasn't ever been with another woman before, well, she's certainly thought about it...
Download The Startup to see just how eager Vi and Emma are to show Kim the time of her life!

Story
Vi's friend Yara has been part of a group of women that have a very interesting concept of group activities...and she's not talking about trust falls or awkward icebreaker questions. Yara has regaled Vi with stories, in explicit detail, of the intense, unbridled passion that she shares with these women every few months, but Vi has always been shy to ask if there's a free slot available on the roster.

Story
Penelope Boswell is my best friend. She’s my person. She’s who I call when I have good news and bad. She’s my comfort. My solace. But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache. She isn’t mine. She never will be. It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t. To know your heart beats for someone you can never have. One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes. She’s hurt. Sad. Broken. She needs me. He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…

So for performance, I love the new narrator! I think her voice is really sexy, her "in the moment stuff is... dayum...
So for story. I mentioned it above but that doesn't do it justice. I think it's really fantastic that all of the characters are really diverse and really special in their own ways. Chloe did a really great job of highlighting these things and making them sexy. The story does introduce a new main character Kim as well as involves moments from the other gal pals and has a spicy story arc from VI's past. -i know this section is called story but let's be real.... idk if we're listening to "this kinda book for the story" yes it's very smutty. Yes it's VERY worth your credit. If u liked the first book you will prob like this book. I hope you enjoy the book.. and my review -Bails
Are you going to cum for me, good girl?
