This is the first book I have read from Avery Aster. Her Manhattanites series has gotten good reviews and I thought I'd give her a try.The beginning of this book, Ms. Aster gives you an overview of all the main characters. At first I was a little confused, but by the end of reading the book, I realized it did help a lot.The story starts out when the heroine, Taddy Brill is a young girl. Taddy is an only child, from a very wealthy family who never showed her any loved. The story then skips to current day when Taddy has made a name for herself and has become very rich in her own right, not having anything to do with her parents. She has her best friends (who are such great characters) and her company but that is it in her life. She yearns for true love.Enter Warner Truman, our sexy, gorgeous hero, whom Taddy nicknamed "Big Daddy"! Warner just happens to be the third richest man in the world owning his own hotel business, and is also a widow at 33! Warner has a problem trusting women because they are usually just after his money as he found out the hard way with his ex-girlfriend/fiance. When he meets Taddy for the first time he only knows of her as Red. He realizes she has money and he thinks this could be a good thing. Sparks fly and the fires ignite quickly. Soon they are on their way back to his place only to be confronted by his ex who keeps saying she is his fiance. Taddy doesn't need this and leaves. Warner has no way of finding herThrough unusual circumstances they meet each other again and Warner decides he is not letter her go. Taddy has to decide if she can actually learn to love.This is a sweet, sexy story that you will enjoy. I loved all the Candy Land references. They were pretty funny. I loved how Taddy was such a strong, independent woman. I loved her friends and would love to see their stories! Read this story...you will not be sorry.
