Undressed by Avery Aster

Undressed (The Manhattanites, #1)Undressed by Avery Aster
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a fun story with a lot of sexy thrown in. I do not really know anything about the fashion world, but the author does great job of introducing us into it and is seemingly knowledgeable on the subject. This world of elite society, formal balls, palaces, private islands, and sexy princes is well written and colorful.

The characters were great. I really liked Lex's complexity. To the world it appeared she had this cushy, perfect life while in actuality she had fought hard for everything she had…and she was not about to lose it all again. She was spunky and determined. Massimo is a lot of fun as well. He has everything handed to him, except for the one thing he really wants. The chemistry between Massimo and Lex is sexually charged, and watching them try to stay away from each other was interesting.

The one thing that really did not do it for me was the sex scenes. While the scenes overall were incredibly hot, the "dirty talk" seemed forced and did not really fit in with the rest of the story. However, I enjoyed the story overall.

I received a free copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Guest Post by Uzuri M. Wilkerson - Sweet

Witnessing a brutal murder at work is only the beginning of Celia's problems. The fact that the victim is a vampire only proves to complicate her life even more. The vampires of New England have always had an undetected existence among humans but with the unprovoked death of one of their own, the lust for revenge has begun. Celia's concerns are magnified when a hunter from Dallas arrives in town. With Jay's sexy smile and rugged ways, Celia finds herself wanting to spend time with him despite being mysteriously linked to the nest that is threatening to become extinct if Jay gets his way. When four bodies are found drained of blood; Jay teams up with a local bunch to take out all the undead which coincidentally, includes her boyfriend Victor. Celia won't stand seeing anything happen to Victor but refuses to hurt Jay as well. Confusion, lust, rage and violence intertwine as worlds collide. Celia will soon discover that her neat little existence is not what it seems as he...
