arc provided for an honest reviewUnscrupulous (The Manhattanites #2) by Avery AsterRomance/Erotic RomanceSynopsis: Book 2 in The Manhattanites series.At thirty-three Warner Truman is one of the richest men on the planet, a spa mogul who buys and sells resorts at will. He holds powerful executive's careers in his well-groomed hands. Nothing is beyond Warner's reach...until he meets her.Stunning, tantalizing, and perverse, Taddy Brill captivates Warner's carnal desire like no woman he's ever met. A self-made millionaire, Taddy is tougher than steel, more brilliant than diamonds and, at twenty-seven, she's never depended on a man for anything...until she meets him.The more Taddy plays with Warner's affections, driving him to erotic heights, the more she is confronted by a dark past. But before she can love him, Taddy must meet her worst fears head-on or risk losing it all, including herself.I fell in love with this book and the characters almost immediately! The relationships were well developed and the love story seems to flow naturally. Whereas, I felt the love story/relationship in the 1st book of this series, Undressed, was rushed.I couldn't really relate to the characters personally for the most part, as I'm not very knowledgeable in the fashion business. The New York/Manhattan way of life is foreign to me, but it was really fun getting a glimpse into the lives there! It was easy to relate to some of Taddy's insecurities though.I have to admit that at first I was kind of disappointed that this book was written as a prequel to Undressed. I was really looking forward to getting a few peeks at where Lex & Masi ended up. Maybe in the next book....I highly recommend this book! If you enjoy a realistic love story, fashion, and steamy love scenes, this book is for you!!!
