Review: 4.5 stars - "Unscrupulous" by Avery Aster
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 08 18, 2013
I read out of order again, but this time I had to read out of order because once I read the description of Taddy and Warner's book, I knew I needed to read their story first.  First off, Taddy is a red head and well...I am a red head.  =)  She's also a highly motivated character...especially when it comes to making her mark in the world.When I began reading Unscrupulous, I knew I was warned ahead of time about the sex scenes by Avery...but let's just say, I was not prepared for Taddy's fiery dominant side in the bedroom.  In fact, she is probably the first female character, who has actually ever surprised me.  She definitely knows what she wants and when she wants something, she will eventually get it.  I was surprised when, she did manage to hand over the reigns of dominance to Warner, but it took her awhile.  She was just not used to it...but she needed someone like Warner to guide her.This book is definitely very erotica with just the touch of storyline to it.  There are a lot of hot moments between Warner and Taddy and there are also the dramatic moments.  You will probably want to help Warner out a few times since he gets himself into some very sticky situations.  Taddy actually gets him out of one of those situations.  Oh boy...did he have one very heated, steamy, difficult situation to get out of with his hotel business.  I'm surprised he did not go into hiding or hurt someone.If you enjoy books with a very sexy billionaire, who is dominant in every way and a female character, who is just as driven, and has gone through a lot in the past...then you will enjoy this book from Avery Aster.The only reason I am not giving it full five moons is because of one character, who I did not like in the process of it all...and that was Taddy's mother.  Oh boy...she struck a nerve with me with what she did to Taddy.  HOW DARE SHE.  Her only daughter and she wanted to do that to her, due to her husband at the time finding out the truth.  Taddy needed her...but in the end Taddy made her mark without her parents help at all.I look forward to reading the next book in this series and also reading the first book.I give this book 4.5 moons and recommend it to contemporary erotic romance readers out there. Be forewarned...if you do not like very erotic sexual scenes this book may not be for you...but if you do...be prepared for some cold showers after each scene or at least have some ice cold water next to you to cool down with.I received a complimentary copy of the book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
