Unscrupulous (The Manhattanites #2) by Avery Aster



Reviewed by Nancy Crocker


Unscrupulous (The Manhattanites, #2)This is the story of Taddy Brill, head of Brill Inc. She has a wicked sense of humor.  She is self sufficient, strong, sexy, loyal to friends and employees, and takes no prisoners. I loved certain parts of Taddy and as the story goes on you learn what made her the person she is today.

Warner “Big Daddy” Truman is extremely rich. And after being burned by a woman with serious issues he might just be a little cautious. But, that all changes when he meets Taddy. The one woman he just can’t seem to get off his mine. I loved that Warner was there for Taddy when she went to see her Mother. 

On a whole I love both the main characters and supporting characters in both this book and the first Undressed. It shows true friends that are always there for each other. They are funny, wacky, smart, and stylish and support each other through everything life has to throw their way.

This book has a lot of humor which I love in both romance and Erotic novels. I recommend this book to those that love erotic but I must caution. At times this book is raunchy and goes just too far for my taste level.  Which I believe takes away from this story.  I didn’t care much for the things that were said between Taddy and Warner while having sex … I prefer passionate words. And it kind of ruined the mood for me.


I love a good erotic novel with the best of them. The scene at the Hotel du France goes too far in my humble opinion. Having sex on the balcony was shocking enough. What the male porn star did, went way too far, and took away from the story.

One of the humorous lines from this novel:
"No Problem, We'll swear off men together for future dating and relationships. But I'm still using 'em for sex"

4/5 stars



I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
