Lawd, have mercy. This book, “Cape May” was a wild ride. A young (very young) newly married couple from Georgia are going to Cape May, NJ to spend two-weeks as honeymooners. This virginial couple leaves a safe & sheltered country town and arrives at a disappointingly deserted (out of season) vacation retreat. On their own, they realize they don’t know each other or have much to share. Thoughts of an early return home are considered until they meet another couple who are in town to party…and by party…I mean drink and behave with wild abandon and without guilt! This young couple, who have never left their own small town, begin mingling with big-city revelry makers who would make Hugh Hefner blush. At first, this wanton behavior shocks our young newlyweds, but they are slowly wooed by the decadent lifestyle and sexual promiscuity of the visitors. The honeymoon veers off course as the booze and babes start to get co-mingled and this bacchanal festival reaches new lows. When sheltered virgins are let loose in the wild…the life lessons learned can really change everything. It certainly changes the marital dynamics of our young couple. This is a solid 3.5 star book and my main reservation was the ending. It didn’t flow with the rest of the story. However, a good debut novel for author Chip Cheek and a lot of fun to read. Be prepared, the sexual portions of this book are detailed and lurid. This novel is not for the faint of heart.
