 Surprised, thrilled and thoroughly taken aback are three ways of describing how I felt reading Undressed. Surprised because I never heard of the author. Thrilled because the book was absolutely wild. Taken aback because this is her first book! (Which is why I probably never heard of the author). 
 Undressed was extremely erotic, fun and sexy. Two big-wigs in the fashion industry going head to head with some big-name dropping thrown in just for the hell of it. A dominant male and a dominant female make for one exciting ride. Throw in the supporting cast of characters, Luigi, Jemma and Rocco, that will wow you with their sexcapades and now you have one wildly erotic, exciting ride. Ms. Aster ran the gamut - threesomes, m/m and a little straight sex ... oh, we can't forget the voyeurism either. That scene had me squirming in my seat. 
 Lex Easton built her business from the ground up. She comes from a very dysfunctional family and never wanted to be in the spotlight again. It's her name on the clothes she designs but not her face. Well, until she shows up on the arm of Prince Massimo Tittoni at the Fashion Ball. Then all hell breaks loose and she finds herself, not only in the spotlight, but the talk of the whole fashion industry. She's ruined thanks to two jealous females and has to take to the stage and hope that she can salvage what was done. And, with all this going on, she had to go and fall in love with the Prince that is constantly in the eye of the public. There is no way they could make it work but she needs to stand strong and face the storm ahead. 
 Prince Massimo Tittoni has plans for Lex Easton and her company. He will own it by the end of her whirl-wind trip to Italy. He wants her bad but refuses to give in to her demands of providing her the fabric she needs for Fashion Week and for sex. He ramps her up and leaves her hanging when he realizes that she's not the love-em and leave-em type. He does not do relationships. He doesn't care that she says that she just wants casual sex with him. (If he only knew that she named her vibrator after him - no BOB for her.) Finally giving in to the passion that they feel for each other and her agreement to help build the Girasoli brand in the fashion industry then her "devil may care" attitude at the Milano Art Show - he's in love. What is he going to do now? She lives in New York, he in Italy ... he will not go to New York and she won't leave her business to stay in Italy. What's a man to do but surprise her, show up in New York and propose to her in front of the world. 
 Honestly, I loved Undressed. It was fast-paced, fun and oh so heavenly sexy. Masi is unbelievable and Lex is hysterical. She has a hand-full of friends that she has been with since she was a child that just bring more wild and whacky banter to the pages of Undressed. Unscrupulous is the next book in The Manhattanites series and I can't wait to read Avery Aster's humorous, erotic writings. I have a feeling I will be squirming in my seat, again!
