Party Wives

In the early 1950s, suburbia was booming… and, along with it, a unique genre of novels about lust and wife-swapping in the cul-de-sacs. Party Wives was a classic of the salacious genre, and is now finally back in print. These women have it all ….the big houses… the big cars… the lush backyard swimming pools….and can have any man they want. They’re the wives of young, corporate executives, men on the brink of success, needing just that little extra push to put them over. It’s the kind of push a wife can give if she’s lovely enough…. and willing to be the wife if the party, trading shares in passion for an interest in the corporation.

This novel was written by “Jim Layne,” a pseudonym mostly used by Joseph Chadwick, who authored scores of suburban potboilers, including The Party Game, The Six Weekers, The Swap Set, Company Woman, Sex Lane and Borrowed Lover.
