Unscrupulous has taken me forever to read and even longer to review.  Overall I liked the book, but I couldn’t connect to it.  This is a prequel to the author’s book Undressed. I will admit that I have not read that book so that maybe required in order to truly enjoy this book.  I have to admit that I am not a fasionista and that may be why Taddy and I did not gel well.  I am a jean and t-shirts gal so high fashion is over my head.  What I did like in this book is that there is a softer side to Taddy.  Like so many strong women, she is seen as a force to be reckoned with in business, but she does have a softer side.  She is loyal and loving to a fault.  She is also a little damaged from her past experiences, especially her childhood and that causes her to build up this tough outer shell.Warner is a handsome, widow who just happens to be a billionaire.  He too has had many life experiences that cause him to give pause when it comes to matters of the heart.  He is a man of integrity and knows exactly what he wants. These two meet by chance at one of Warner’s 5 star resorts and as it usually goes with these types of novels, the chemistry is palpable.  There are a few twists and turns in the story i.e. a stalking ex fiancé, Taddy’s trust issues, and a seemingly cold mother.  There is a fair share of drama, a little debauchery and a ton of fashion.  What else could one need?
