"Your passion for life, the confidence you have within you to move forward and the love you give to others and deserve, but never expect in return," quote by Kiki, to me described Taddy to a "T".Holy frickin' cow just the beginning of this novel had me cracking up in laughter.  Just reading what these two parents did to each other was hilarious, talk about family drama.  Only that Taddy did not deserve what happened to her and how she was sent away to boarding school, but then again why be around all that drama.  I'm glad that Taddy was able to become a very successful business woman but it's sad that her parent's didn't try to reach out to her but then again when one spouse tells the other to make a choice them or their child they shouldn't be parents at all.  What Taddy went through with her parents and how she was treated had me practically in tears.Taddy Brill is an amazing young woman that will do anything for her friends even though sometimes these issues run deep into her money pocket.  She may have everything in life but she is still a vulnerable woman with issues.  Only that she does something about it, she works hard but there is still something missing in her life.Warner Truman is an interesting gorgeous, sexy as hell of a man with loads of money.  It's interesting how his character is introduced with a woman in his bed that was being entertained by his brother the night before.  Only it doesn't end there it seems that his ex-fiancé doesn't get the meaning of "it's over" and believes that she still as a chance with him.  I could not believe that even with a restraining order Rielle wouldn't leave him alone.Taddy has thrown herself into her company Brill, Inc, a public relations firm as Warner in Truman Enterprises, a line of hotels, resorts.  I don't blame either of them since they both have a sad story but sometimes it's not good to bury yourself in so much work.  It's like you lose focus in life, finding someone to share your life with, even if Warner had already found and lost his love of his life.  Only Taddy doesn't know what love is because that is something that her parents never showed her or even told her.  She had her friends and to her that is all the family she needed, those were the people she loved and she knew they loved her back.  Then during a trip with Lex and meeting up with Vive she finds this hunk of a man and believes he is her secret NFL player crush.  That night as "Red" she meets someone by the name of "Garner" and she is enthralled with him as he is with her.  Taddy is not one to lose control of her emotions but there is something about this man that makes her just want to give him control and the moment that she wants for him to take her but they run into Rielle at his home.  Great there goes her night of passion but Warner will find her some way some how, only will it be impossible since he doesn't even know her real name or will fate bring them together again.  Will she be able to stay true to her word of no sex for a year and just commit herself to her work or when months later have passed and she sees Warner again will they get it on like bunnies.Taddy is a woman that gives the orders around in the bedroom tells the man what she wants but things are a little different with Warner.  She is one that loves the rough play, the smacking but I'm not saying that Warner is not a dominate man he is a take charge kind of guy but in his own way.  He is a dirty talker during sex, which I love, but Taddy is not one to talk but she eventually learns.  Taddy is a very sexual person, just about any where she finds a place to get off.  Just reading her way of releasing pent up sexual frustration left me a little breathless, then when Warner came into the picture it was like holy moley mother of yeah, especially with a man hung as Ms. Aster vividly described.  **Thank you Ms. Aster!!**  Talk about I need to find a Warner for myself and say "all mine, don't touch."  The sex scenes are explicitly detailed, which I loved, with a delicious foreplay, some anal play.  Taddy and Warner are hot together they totally brunt the sheets and them some.I truly fell in love with all of Taddy's friends, Lex the one person that was like a sister to her.  The one person that she was able to talk to when her parents would fight, the one friend she had that went with her to boarding school.  Then of course there is Blake the one friend that took courage from Taddy to tell his parents about his sexuality and this is the family she always dreamed of having.  His story left me intrigued. Then there Vive, she is an interesting character, a character that left me with so many questions because of her drinking.  I really want to get to know her better.  Then there is Taddy's assistant, Kiki and how nave she was.  I can't believe what she allowed to happen in her room in the Cannes during a Film Festival.  Now that was totally unexpected but I'm glad that experiencing something like that didn't change her mind about going back to Brill, Inc.Unscrupulous is an entertaining, fun, hilarious, but also sad read.  I do have to say that this is my first read by Ms. Aster but believe me this will not be my last and I will say that this novel will be staying in my library to be reread again in the near future.  I know I just picked up Undressed, the first in this series, and I know that if I fell in love with her writing style in this novel I know that I'm going to totally love Undressed.  All of the characters in this story were compelling and well-developed.  I loved how Warner became Taddy's rock when she needed him the most and that she actually leaned on him.  The storyline was well written and it flowed easily and kept me entertained with lots of drama and hot sexy erotic scenes.  I also loved how detailed all of her major scenes were when Taddy ventured out to different countries or even different places it felt like I could actually see it like I was also part of the story.  I love when I'm reading and I feel connected to characters and what they are going through and what they are doing.OMG, this is totally a must read for any time of the year.  A time when you may be feeling down believe me this will perk you right up and bring a laugh or two or three out of you.  I can't wait to read the first of this Series, Undressed.  This novel is pure brilliance a great journey for two wonderful characters, Taddy and Warner.  Pick up Unscrupulous today and enjoy and if you haven't read book 1, Undressed, pick that one up also.  I so totally recommend this novel.
