When Avery Aster contacted me to ask if I'd like to review Unscrupulous I read the blurb and thought...this sounds like fun! Manhattanites, vajazzling, an obsessive masturbator...I prepared myself for a book full of shallow, wanton sex (woohoo!). What I got was so much more. Yes, Taddy Brill is a rich socialite who runs with the elite in society. Yes, her friends are rock-star children and an heiress to a booze fortune. But, as we get to know Taddy better, we learn that she's also a self-made business woman who emancipated herself from her unloving parents at the age of 16. (And unloving is being kind to these people - I don't want to give anything away, but her mother's actions at the end of the book disgusted me and brought tears to my eyes for Taddy) She's also a woman with a heart of gold who would cross the ocean (literally) to help a friend. The hero in this story, Warner Truman, is also a self-made man who lost his first true love at an early age. To see them find each other and open up to the possibilities of love and a real relationship is quite stunning to watch. Oh, and the steamy scenes are pretty hot too...can't forget those! Ms. Aster certainly has a way with details (I'll just say "Anaconda" and no more!)All in all, a great read that kept me captivated from start to finish...thanks so much for the opportunity to read this Avery!*ARC received via Netgalley*
