Milan's notorious playboy, Massimo Tittoni, seems to have everything--Lamborghinis, exotic women, palaces throughout Europe and business success. Ramping up his fabric company to go global with a new apparel brand, he ruthlessly stops supplying fabrics to the American client who inspired the collection. But once they meet, what's he willing to give to get her in his bed?
Upper East Side designer Lex Easton will be damned if she'll let an Italian stud muffin knock her down. So what if she named her favorite vibrator after him. With Fashion Week approaching, she'll do whatever it takes to secure the fabrics she needs to become the next Diane von Furstenburg-- even sleep with her rival. But when she arrives in Europe the paparazzi chronicles her every move and she finds herself in a situation never imagined. Lex’s Louboutins stilettos are dug in deep to win this war. All’s fair in love and fashion!
Avery Aster's super-glossy debut novel is loaded with passionate escapism, pitting American ambition against Italian tradition. Erotic romance fans who appreciate extended sex scenes, witty banter and glamour mustn't miss Undressed.
Inside Scoop: Though the hero and heroine remain monogamous, their Prada-wearing friends indulge in a ménage a trois and other fashionable sexual fun and games.
ABOUT THE MANHATTANITES:
It's a series of full length novels focusing on relationships. Each book may be read as a stand alone and features a HEA w/ closure for the couple's story. If you've enjoyed TV shows like Girls (HBO), Dirty Sexy Money (ABC), and The Bold & the Beautiful (CBS) then you'll love this series. Avery's characters are over the top. They have raunchy sex, speak their minds and the plots are twisted. (In a good way!)
4 Stars
I received a copy of Undressed courtesy of the author and publisher in exchange for a review.
When I received an email from Avery Aster herself, asking me if I could handle a book that contained scenes so hot they were scorching and panty dropping, I replied with an enthusiastic "OF COURSE!" She even went as far as to almost call me out on my reads of late being sort of 'vanilla' and more HBO vs Cinemax. I couldn't agree more. So I took on her book, bearing in mind I was going to be experiencing a more raw version of Sex and the City. Well, let me tell you, Carrie and Big have NOTHING on Lex and Massimo!
Undressed delivers funny, vibrant, witty characters, not to mention the strong and sexy female roles. The story, fun banter, and make you blush sex scenes held my attention, and for that, I gave it 4 stars. There were a few moments that seemed a little inconsistent, and not very believable, but for the most part, the hotness of the book made up for it. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment!
