*I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review*Who in the world are the Manhattanites? That was my first question when I started reading Unscrupulous. I mean, I am just a good ole' southern girl who has been to New York twice in my lifetime and although I loved the city, it intimidated the hell out of me! After reading this incredible story, I definitely want to hang (and party) with these wonderful women and men! An amazing love story about women who speak their mind and go after what they want. What woman doesn't want to be that way???Taddy is a woman who took control of her life at a young age. She didn't grow up with the love and support that most girls receive and left her parents at the age of 16. Her determination and bravery helped your succeed in owning and running a Fortune 500 company. She is a workaholic and way too busy for a relationship and she certainly doesn't have time for love! She loves her friends and considers them her family and right now, that is all she needs...and, of course, the occasional romp in the hay with a gorgeous hunk of a man ;)Warner, Warner, Warner...what can I say about him??? Gorgeous, sweet, smart and successful. Did I mention he also happens to have a rock hard body? He is someone I just need to be around if only for a minute. Maybe just to bask in his glory. I can only imagine how good he would smell, lol. All that aside, he lost his wife and was burned by a crazy woman that wouldn't take no for an answer. So even though he is a little gun shy at the moment, he leaves his mind open to new possibilities.I absolutely LOVED the way Warner and Taddy met! That girl has some guts and goes after what she wants with no hesitation. Warner takes her in stride and rides right along with her. An extremely hot scene that will leave your heart racing and your panties a tad on the wet side ;) Hell, all of their scenes made me feel that way, lol. The way he worships her would be any girl's fantasy.Did I mention this book is also full of hilarious moments??? I literally could not stop laughing and even had to stop and read those parts to my hubby! Some of the references that were used were hilarious. I definitely had no idea what the term vajazzle meant until reading Unscrupulous, so I have to say, I may have to try it ;)As the story progresses, you realize this is a love story full of emotions. I love reading a story about a woman who feels unworthy of love and soon realizes, not only does she deserve to be loved, she even starts to love herself. The supporting characters were equally as interesting as Taddy and Warner and I wanted to know more about them. Luckily, there are more books to come that will allow me to do just that ;)So...who are The Manhattanites? A group of pretty cool people that are not only smart and successful but people I would love to know and be friends with. I can't wait to read the next book which happens to be about two hunky men who hopefully can't get enough of one another!!! Pure yumminess....So THANK YOU Ms. Aster for writing a romantic, funny and sexy story! It went beyond my expectations and I look forward to reading a lot more from you ;) If you haven't read this book, what are you waiting for? Don't forget to also read Undressed (The Manhattanites #1) available now!Kel
