Review of Unscrupulous by Avery AsterBook received from publisher for honest review.This book was a bit of a letdown after how much I really loved Undressed. I loved the characters in this one, just as much as I loved them the first time around. The friendship that Taddy, Lex, and Vive have is awesome. I adore how they will literally walk through fire for each other and don't give a rip the consequences. If one of them needs help, they are there with bats ready to throw down.I guess my real issue was that there is sooo much lead up in this story. We learn all about Taddy Brill and what makes her tick. She is fierce, loyal, and gives of herself freely to those she loves. She never expects anything in return for her kindness and is an all-around good person. I was rooting for her the entire time I was reading this story wanting her to get her HEA. It was over halfway through the book before things FINALLY started to come together for her. Once it got to that point the story felt very rushed.Her and Garner finally hook up and then next thing you know the story is just over. Yeah, some other things go down, but for the most part it's one of those "I wanted you when I first met you. Here you are in my life again. You are mine. I love you. The end." It left me feeling very blah.Another point of annoyance for me is that I have no clue where in the timeline of the series this is supposed to be. Undressed is book one in the series and yet during the entire story we never hear about Lex and her Prince... in fact there is a part where all three girls swear themselves off of men as their New Year's Resolution. Plus, it leaves the impression that Lex is doing really well in the business world, yet before she had her Prince she was going under quickly. It would have been nice to have some kind of prologue or SOMETHING that explained where in the series this book takes place.The sexual tension and the smut itself in this book is amazing. For all the pitfalls the book overall is enjoyable and I will be reading the next in the series for sure, but it really could have been better. The concept is solid, the follow through is lacking. I give it 3 stars for storyline and 4 drenched panties for smut factor.Review by the Head Whore at Mommy's a Book Whore.[...][...]
