*I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review*Welcome to the lifestyles of the rich and famous or at least that's howit feels when you read Unscrupulous. The story takes place in Manhattan theplayground for all in the business world. Think Sex in the Citymeets Wall Street.Taddy Brill self-made millionaire has everything a young woman would wantSex appeal, good looks, her own business, money up the kazoo, loyal friends andyet the one thing she doesn't have and won't allow herself to have is the love of a goodman, family has a way of effing with your heart and head and Taddy's family wonthat prize.Warner Truman is a self-made man worth billions, widowed and through withlove because of a betrayal. Hunk is not a strong enough word to describe him.Tall, wide shoulders, tree trunk legs and a smile you could get lost in.When these two meet sparks fly and the sizzle begins and as quick as it beganit was over. Betrayal remember...Being super rich doesn't exclude them from pain, heartache and the feelingof despair even they have skeletons in their closets...some more than others.I have to say I never read a book that referred to designer names so often, I feltlike going out and committing a bank robbery so I too could indulge in the luxuriesthe characters in the book did.The author did a great job in bringing all the characters to life; Lex, Vive, Blake, eventhe secondary ones played a role important to the storyline, by the time I finished thebook I knew them well. Kiki cracked me up, she was the virginal innocent mid-westernerwho Taddy took under her wing, I could almost see the expressions on her face when Taddy talked sex!For me it was too much talk about business and friends and the extravagant lifestylethey led and not enough action, I wanted more Taddy and Warner. I found myself skimmingover the pages looking for the good stuff, I needed more if you know what I mean!Don't get me wrong; when the two are reunited, you will have to wipe the steam offyour glasses, Warner is one HOT commodity and Taddy knows how to tend to his goodsbut will she be able to put the past behind her and move forward with Warner or willher fear and family eff that up too?You'll need to read the book to find out the answer to that question.
