"I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in place of an honest review."Loved this book!!!!!Ok finished Unscrupulous (The Manhattanites, #2) and have to say Avery Aster has hooked me and now I HAVE TO get  Undressed (The Manhattanites, #1) . Yes, being a New Yorker (Manhattanite) might have something to do with it, but I think the drawl and the story line of Taddy, Warner, Lex, Vive and Blake have piqued my interest as well.I loved the way Avery was very descriptive in regards to her characters and showed how dependent, strong willed, and sassy they are.  From their dress apparel to the night life and travelling I felt this book was like an adventure and more so yes Avery has accomplished hooking me into her series.This story is about Taddy Brill who loses everything due to her parents.  At the age of 16 she turns her life around and builds an empire with the trusting help of her friends which she considers her only family. The one thing Taddy hasn't accomplished is love and trusting a man to let her guard down and take control.  Aka: Red, Taddy lives by the motto: <spoiler> "Red enables people to make quick decisions; it also enables strength and power." </spoiler> A very independent women!In comes Warner Truman, a man every woman wished they could meet, he too builds up a billion dollar empire and has had his share of grief to bare so love and trust is his issue too.  That is until Taddy and Warner meet one night during New Years and their world is never the same.  Except Warner loses Taddy just before he has her and the book takes a sweet turn of anticipation of when their worlds will collide and I have to say I loved Chapter 12 and on didn't want it to end "Two percent of the Women in the World" brilliant!No book comes without villains, whether it is ex-girlfriends, parents, or friends they were there and the emotions came with it so the book was doing its job. Avery, this book has reached one of my TOP STEAMY  books of all and ROMANTIC!I absolutely love Warner Truman, don't think I've ever met one in Manhattan, but never say never, if they do exist. Warner: <spoiler> "I knew I was in love when I couldn't fall asleep because she was lying next to me." </spoiler>Sooooo romantic!Looking forward to the rest of the series! Thank you.
