Review: I Need a Bit More Romance
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is the perfect example of how a second book of a series yet can be read as a stand alone should begin.  In the first few pages Avery Aster gave us an extensive run down of who's who and how they became what before we began our journey with them.I am from Arizona, born and raised and the closest I have ever gotten to New York is being a 20 year fan of the Howard Stern Show.  This book is all about the New York high society social life, which is fun to live vicariously through, but I felt some of it was a bit too much for me to even comprehend. I am higher on the romance scale as compared to the fashionista scale, some of the things Taddy described fashion-wise I had no clue about.The dialogue was fast and witty.  I loved how these girls had no shame discussing diet pill popping, boozing, boob jobs, getting laid and vajayjaydazzling. Some of the lines were laugh out loud or OMG moments for me.  It was definitely a lifestyle I was glad to peek in to.While I enjoyed learning about the girls, there was almost too much set up before the romance of Warner and Taddy even began.  I wished they would have gotten together a bit sooner as I could see some more hot sex scenes in their future.  It seemed just as Taddy and Warren finally got together, the book was over.  Avery Aster can write a pretty sexy scene and I felt a little short changed with the lack thereof in the story between the leading characters.The book was well written and I felt the author made the book seem as though you were watching an extremely wealthy version of Sex in the City. Her details were amazing, right down to the purse each girl carried for her night on the town.  We got to know the ins and outs of every character, along with the supporting characters. The book finished up nicely, leaving no questions, but an easy open for a third book.ARC provided for an honest review.
