3.5 stars!Unscrupulous was like Sex and The City meets Wallbanger!"I used to strive to live my life for happiness, not money or status. I don't know what happened or why I stopped."Warner Truman is the third richest man in the world. He's 33, gorgeous, and single. He's a young widower and his recent engagement did not end well. He wants to find love but he also wants someone like him, someone his is educated and independent in their career."It's not my intention to be a diva. It just happens. I wake up like I'm flippin' Beyonce or something"Tabitha Adelaide Brillford aka Taddy Brill is a 27 year old self- made millionaire. Taddy came from money but when her socialite parents tumultuous relationship hits the tabloids and a family secret is revealed, they ship a 13 year old Taddy off to boarding school for good. Essentially abandoned by her parents she poses for Playboy and sells her story to make money for college tuition. While in college she started her PR firm Brill Inc. Taddy is a rare kind of girl, she's your alpha female. She is bold, rich, sexy, kinky, and knows what she wants. She might not have her parents but she had her childhood friends Lex Easton, Vive Farnworth, and Blake Morgan. They are tight bunch and each has their own set of issues and problems but they love each other fiercely."Dear baby Jesus. Hold your gumdrops. You just had your holiday. Now let me have mine."After Lex's mother helps botch Taddy, Lex, and Vive's, Christmas plans the girls head to the south of France for the New Year. There she meets who she thinks is her NFL crush, Brayden Brooks. Instead it's Warner Truman aka Garner aka Big Daddy. Taddy is Warner's perfect match. The two never exchanged names and after an intense first meeting the two decide to leave together for the night but when they get to his place Warner's crazy ex fiancé breaks up their night. Thinking he's a cheater Taddy leaves. Warner only gets to slip her his business card.Both Taddy and Warner still think about that night but neither can get in touch with each other. Taddy makes it a New Year's resolution to focus on her career and not men. Six months later when she has to bail out her assistant Kiki from a fiasco in France, the two run into each other again. Their initial chemistry is still there and the two quickly pick where they left off. Warner and Taddy have a tons of intense sexual chemistry"I never meet man with any expectations other than having a good time. Then I'm never, disappointed."Taddy isn't used to relationships or guys treating her right and that makes things difficult for their budding relationship. She also is still dealing with her issues from her parent's abandonment. But the two are willing to try and make this new relationship work. Warner is a sweet guy that genuinely cares for Taddy and despite her reservations she does feel the same.Admittedly Avery has a different style of writing than I was used to but I did enjoy it. It's very quick and light. Definitely very raunchy, outlandish, but funny in some parts. I did love the snarkiness and some of the crazy situations. I did like characters and found them all very interesting. There was lots of vajazzling, va-jay-jay trip into a hum drop fit, hunkadoris, and other crazy sayings. Taddy and her Waris Sugar singing made me giggle. Sometimes the book could be a bit over the top. I do wish we go to see more of Taddy and Warner's relationship and got a little more but I'm hoping to see more of them in the other books.*ARC received from publisher in exchange for a honest review*
