FABULOUS. GLAMOUROUS. UNSCRUPULOUS. That's what The Manhattanites are, their lives are full of fame, fashion, glamour, and hard work. Just like the first part of this series, Unscrupulous can be best described as "fun erotica", with moments that will make you want to *fan yourself* and others that will leave you laughing uncontrollably. It reminded me of Sex and the City, but with a sexier edge to it.Unscrupulous is the second part of The Manhattanites series and tells the story of Taddy Brill, Lex Easton's best friend who already had a brief but memorable introduction in the first part of the series, Undressed. Although this is the second part of the series, this story can easily be read as a standalone. In my opinion, Uncrupulous had a very different vibe from Undressed and I ended up enjoying it even more than Lex's story!The "hero" of the story is already one of the first reasons to fal in love with this story: CEO Warner Truman, third richest man of the world. Now, before you start thinking Warner must be another dominant, controlling billionaire like Christian Grey and Gideon Cross, I can assure you he's nothing like any of them. He doesn't have any dark secrets in his closet, hidden playrooms or other controlling tendencies. He's intelligent, charming and the perfect gentleman, but when he wants something, he's not afraid to go after it. ;-)You would think that with a swoonworthy hero like Warner, there would be no doubt about who my favorite character in the story would be, BUT with a heroine like Taddy that isn't exactly the case...Taddy Brill is the CEO of Brill, Inc., New York's most elite and succesful public relations company. She's a self-made woman who strives every day to be the best at what she does. She's strong, determined, merciless and never afraid to speak her mind. She's a perfectionist, an obsessive masturbator and a workaholic all at the same time. Estranged from her family, her friends are as close to family as she has and with a busy schedule like hers, there isn't much time for love or relationships.But then she meets Warner Truman. A man who has suffered loss and heartbreak in his past as well and who has decided to never again date a woman who's only after his money. Like Taddy, he's a self-made man and that's why he seems to have found a perfect match in her. Both of them know what it's like to built a career from the ground up, they're both powerful and succesful in their business and that creates an immediate bond between them.The chemistry between Warner and Taddy is off the charts hot and from the moment they first meet, there's an instant connection between them. As they start to get to know each other better, their feelings start to grow more and more, and they realize how perfectly they complement each other. But will they be able to admit their true feelings to both themselves and each other?Read this enticing story and it out for yourself...Aside from Taddy and Warner there were several side characters that made the story all the more colourful and fun to read like Kiki, Taddy's timid assistant, and Taddy's best friends Lex, Vive and Blake. Each one of them has their own unique personnality and the conversations between Taddy and her friends seriously made me laugh-out-loud quite a few times and I'm already looking forward to Vive and Blake's own story!Overall, I think it's safe to say Unscrupulous is one of the funniest, most entertaining books I've read this year and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a sexy, unique read with a healthy dose of humor to give it a try!4.5 STARS*I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review*
