Unscrupulous (#2 The Manhattanites)
Content Warning: due to graphic sex scenes, strong language, suggestive themes, mature humor, and just about everything your friends ever told you not to do–including getting vajazzled, this novel is for adults only.
At thirty-three Warner Truman is one of the richest men on the planet, a spa mogul who buys and sells resorts at will. He holds powerful executive’s careers in his well-groomed hands. Nothing is beyond Warner’s reach…until he meets her.
Stunning, tantalizing, and perverse, Taddy Brill captivates Warner’s carnal desire like no woman he’s ever met. A self-made millionaire, Taddy is tougher than steel, more brilliant than diamonds and, at twenty-seven, she’s never depended on a man for anything…until she meets him.
The more Taddy plays with Warner’s affections, driving him to erotic heights, the more she is confronted by a dark past. But before she can love him, Taddy must meet her worst fears head-on or risk losing it all, including herself

****SANDIE'S REVIEW****
I am in awe of Avery Aster. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could love an author as much as I adore her. Why you ask? Well she wrote this awesome book. I didn't know what to expect to be honest. Her writing style fits me perfectly. She is obscene and funny and raunchy and I love it.
Tabitha or Taddy is the focus of this book. I admire her. She comes from a rich family but as they say money can not buy happiness. Taddy learns to maneuver and be successful on her own with out help or guidance from her Mom and Dad. At 16 she is emancipated, I could not believe her mom and what she did I wanted to smack the crap out of her!
Taddy is described by her employees as a bitch but I never saw that. She is a go getter and great at what she does. She is fierce and knows what she wants. Her assistant Kiki is this young naive virgin from Utah but is a kick ass assistant and Taddy knows this. Taddy lavishes her with gifts and trips to France all paid for. She even gives her a wardrobe allowance. Yeah if that is a bitch then where the fuck do I sign up to work for her??
Warner Truman...
Can you say YUMMY-LICIOUS!!! damn he is everything I look for in a male lead. Alpha in bed, sweet and caring, devoted and knows how to fuck. What else does woman need?? When these two get together it is just HAWT! All I could visualize as I read was this...
Whoa! I uh...need a moment.
Warner is a widower, he is a billionaire who owns multiple 5 star hotels/resorts/spas. He was engaged to this horrid biotch, who made me cringe. He figures out she is only after his money and since then has pretty much just been uninterested in pursuing a relationship. You know until he meets Taddy. OMG I laughed so hard at their first meeting....lets just say vagazzaling. It quickly went bad and then he is left high and dry and never knowing Taddy's real name. You know fate has a crazy way of throwing people together. What a way it is.....picture porn stars, balconies and a vibrating massage chair.
This book is outstanding. Strong successful business woman, who has a messed up beginning in life but has a circle of wonderful friends who are her true family. Taddy is my type of lead female character. She is sharp and passionate. She made her way in life on her own and is now very successful. She cares and loves her friends and would do anything for them. She is rich but never acts as if she is above others, which I think is why I felt connected with her. Oh and she's like horny all the time, so her character reminds me of well me LOL. I laughed so hard in certain parts. I will never look at ellipticals, massage chairs and vagazzaling the same ever again. I enjoyed Avery's writing style. The characters are well written. The secondary characters were also delightful and brought a lot to the story. Anaconda penis' and Big Daddy's are going to be forever burned in my brain. I can not wait to read more from Avery Aster, she is my new favorite author.

Undressed (#1 The Manhattanites)
Milan’s notorious playboy, Massimo Tittoni, seems to have everything–Lamborghinis, exotic women, palaces throughout Europe and business success. Ramping up his fabric company to go global with a new apparel brand, he ruthlessly stops supplying fabrics to the American client who inspired the collection. But once they meet, what’s he willing to give to get her in his bed?
Upper East Side designer Lex Easton will be damned if she’ll let an Italian stud muffin knock her down. So what if she named her favorite vibrator after him. With Fashion Week approaching, she’ll do whatever it takes to secure the fabrics she needs to become the next Diane von Furstenburg– even sleep with her rival. But when she arrives in Europe the paparazzi chronicles her every move and she finds herself in a situation never imagined. Lex’s Louboutins stilettos are dug in deep to win this war. All’s fair in love and fashion!
Avery Aster’s super-glossy debut novel is loaded with passionate escapism, pitting American ambition against Italian tradition. Erotic romance fans who appreciate extended sex scenes, witty banter and glamour mustn’t miss Undressed.
Inside Scoop: Though the hero and heroine remain monogamous, their Prada-wearing friends indulge in a ménage a trois and other fashionable sexual fun and games
