Innocent, untouched, gorgeous 18-year-old Pippa unexpectedly wins two tickets to an all-expense paid Caribbean cruise. She plans to go with her boyfriend, Garrett. She also considers allowing him access to her body during their week-long romantic vacation… Just a few hours prior to their flight to Miami, she finds out he’s been cheating on her. What an idiot! It seems like Pippa is going to … enjoy this trip solo. But will she?
The cruise-liner has a very strange name – “The Nude Giant”… She never would have agreed to spend a week on a ship with 3,000 naked people. But there she is… Will an accidental nude cruise become her worst nightmare? Or what if she meets a charming Italian man with a disarming smile and a sinfully sexy body?

This isn’t an erotic book though the author states that what she writes. It’s a disjointed series of partial scenes and only about 42 pages with twice double spacing. It might come to less than 20 pages of story. I wanted to write to the author, Alexa Flores, before posting this review. However, I couldn’t access her site.
The writing is terribly simplistic and the heroine, Pippa, isn’t believable. She’s won a cruise, but somehow fails to notice that it’s a nudist cruise. BTW – this detail isn’t in any way relevant to the story. We’re supposed to believe that a 28 year old internationally renown photographer is attracted to this naive 18 year old just out of high school.
Her boyfriend makes two appearances at the beginning when he’s anonymously identified making out with another girl and at the end when he attempts to apologize. He’s a random bit for no reason.
There’s no development of plot or character. While in the pool Alessandro has an erection, but is able to leave the pool with it unnoticed when he returns to his room. When he walks Pippa to where she’s unable to stand “she was forced to wrap her legs around him.” The more logical thing would be to tread water or hold his shoulders.
Without being told Alessandro knows that she’s a virgin. Oh, really.
Pippa tells the maitre’d that she’s dining alone. My understanding of cruises is they usually have assigned seating; the maitre’d would already know she was alone.
Sex scenes were trite, not explicit as the warning states. Pussy is the most used vulgarity.
There are typos and redundancies – “foxy vixen”.
I cannot recommend this.
I loved the book for the most part. But I could only give it 4.5 stars, because it felt short and than rushed. I wanted more of an ending. If you’re in for a quick, fast paced romance, this is a definite read for you.

Pippa has just graduated from school and is excited about a cruise she won. She had planned on going with her boyfriend however someone sent her a video of him cheating on her so went on her own. Pippa didn’t realize that the Nude Giant was a nudist cruise and once she didn’t it was too late to get on land. She figured that she would limit the time outside her cabin if she was to uncomfortable. At dinner she meets Alessandro and its his first nudist cruise too. He enjoys being with Pippa so he stays dressed and plans things so she won’t be exposed to anything uncomfortable around him. Things progress quickly between them because Pippa was planning to leave. However will she leave now that she’s found Alessandro?
This is a great story definitely a different love story for me. The chemistry between Alessandro and Pippa is sensually sweet. This is a well written and very entertaining story. This is the first time I’ve read anything by this author but she’ll definitely go on my watch list in the future. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Pippa wins a cruise on the “Nude Giant” not realizing it’s a clothing optional cruise. She meets Alessandro the 1st night at dinner and they start up a relationship that goes slow but burns bright. Only wish there was a bit more…an epilogue showing them steeled and happy in Rome. But loved the storyline and the depth of the characters draws you into their world and keeps you hooked.
Wonderful story from start to finish, entranced by the characters…
I enjoyed reading this book. Was a wonderful read throughout. The characters pull you in and make you want to read more. Keep it coming…

Loved it. What luck she has. To find her boyfriend cheating when you are getting ready to go on a cruise you won two tickets to. Then to decide to go alone only to find out when you get there it is a nude cruise. But the good thing is she meets a hot guy. It is exciting, suspenseful, fun, surprising and so much more. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
An amazing short, fast pace, spicy, exciting cruise ship romance. It is well written and easily read in one sitting. Adorable characters with the chemistry between them hot, intense, and off the charts. The Virgins Club series is a very enjoyable series and is good for the book addict looking for something short, hot, and good to read. Definitely recommended.

A short, sweet, sexy story.
A good story with great, relatable characters. Pippa won two tickets for an all inclusive cruise on “The Nude Giant” and was planning to take her boyfriend. When she finds her boyfriend is cheating on her she ends up going on the cruise alone. She meets Alessandro on her first night and truly finds a connection. Grab this book and find out what happens when Pippa finds out something she didn’t know about the cruise. This is a cute story and I definitely recommend it.

Amusing!
This is a short story about shipboard romance. It reads quickly, has a ‘hot’ scene or two as well as a few amusing scenes and will see you happily through your lunch hour.
And just so you know, “The Nude Giant” is probably not what you think it is (smile).
