Review: Wedding Heat: Skinny Dipping – Giselle Renarde

Forget the happy couple—it’s the guests that make this wedding sizzle!

Joey’s a virgin. That’s not the sort of thing he’d admit to most people, but when he meets Greg at his cousin Maggie’s luxury woodland wedding retreat, he finds himself freely admitting to this embarrassing quality. Joey and Greg hit it off right away, teasing and taunting each other, but when Greg casually mentions that he’s gay, Joey isn’t sure how to react… not until a bunch of the guys strip naked for midnight skinny dipping in the man-made lake. Something tells Joey he won’t be a virgin for long!

WARNINGS: This title contains graphic language, explicit gossip, naked guys and gay sex.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

While I enjoyed the first book in the series, I wasn’t really feeling this one very much. I liked the prospect of a healthy virile young man losing his virginity at a wedding celebration, but I didn’t like the partner he lost it to. Joey, never having any homosexual feelings before, is attracted to Greg, a cousin of the groom-to-be. I didn’t like Greg’s character. While he seemed cultured, wearing a suit and drinking expensive scotch, he really came off as a little whiny.

The sex scenes were a little too raunchy for my taste and they didn’t seem to flow naturally. It felt more mechanical than sensual. I didn’t feel any chemistry between Joey and Greg so it was especially awkward at the end of the story when Joey talk about being content. I did, however, enjoy learning more about people who were at the resort for the wedding. There are some terrible rumors going around about Keith, brother of the groom-to-be, and his mother and another cousin, Luke, who has some very personal issues going on with his girlfriend that I’d like to find out more about.
