ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 1, 2015
Chelsea’s hottie Blake Morgan III has reemerged from a nasty breakup. His marriage was a frigid disaster beyond repair, and he vows to be single—forever. Bruised, but still hot in Prada, he creates his Seven Desires wish list, his sexiest imaginings. Blake soon realizes there’s only one man he may trust to make these uninhibited intentions come to fruition: his best friend Miguel Santana.
Lower East Side multimedia artist extraordinaire Miguel Santana may be known as the cocky Latin stud in the city, but all he’s wanted since college was Blake’s hand in marriage. He was livid when Blake walked down the aisle with the wrong guy. Miguel has his own list titled the Seven Needs, which are quite contrary to Blake’s dirty-boy deeds. They involve serious commitments, which may leave his new-to-the-singles-scene buddy sprinting for the door, destroying any hopes Miguel has for happiness.
Can these two hunks conquer their intimate fears and love one another as only best friends can? Join the star-studded cast in The Manhattanites series and see for yourself!

NOTE: UNSAID is an extremely explicit and sexually graphic storyline of erotica with M/M sexual situations. Some scenes may not be suitable for all readers.
REVIEW: UNSAID is the third installment in Avery Aster’s contemporary, adult The Manhattanites erotica, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends in Manhattan burb of Chelsea in New York City. This is magazine editor Blake Morgan III, and artist Miguel Santana’s second chance storyline-a friends to lovers tale of unrequited love and a decade of regrets. UNSAID can be read as a stand alone although each installment builds upon the previous storyline’s premise.
Told from several third person points of view UNSAID is an ensemble story with several intersecting storylines and premises. Blake’s recent divorce has left our hero lost and broken; his past is darkened with dangerous secrets that find Blake hiding in plain sight from the man who all but destroyed his life. Enter Miguel Santana, a dominant and Blake’s one-time best friend, and the man who has loved Blake from afar. Blake is oblivious to Miguel’s feelings, but will accept everything Miguel has to offer even if he has to venture outside of his comfort zone with $ex and submission.
Throughout the storyline we are witness to Vive’s spiral into the abyss. Vive is besties with most of the series characters and has had issues with addiction in the past. But Vive’s drinking is out of control and she isn’t afraid to hold back when everyone else’s life moves forward as she continues to struggle with the past.
Lex and Massimo’s (Unscrupulous #1) upcoming nuptials have hit a bump in the road. While their friend’s lives begin to implode, Lex and Masi receive news of a different kind that has Lex questioning the present and the future.
UNSAID is a sexually graphic storyline wherein nothing is off limits between consenting adults but I want to point out that some of the consent is ‘dubious’; the acceptance of what was occurs after the fact; our hero Blake is a submissive but is unsure what it is he wants from the man with whom he has fallen in love. Miguel pushes the limits of Blake’s comfort and in this, there are some questionable scenes of dominance and submission.
THE MANHATTANITES, and thusly UNSAID is a character driven series that focuses on friendships, addictions, lovers and kink. Avery Aster will push your comfort level with Miguel’s need to dominate the man that he loves when said man isn’t aware of his need to be dominated. Emotions run high throughout the storyline; Avery Aster isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.

He went over and peeled his nylon sweats off as Miguel watched, then dropped to his knees on the mattress. Game on. He lowered his shoulders and crawled forward, palms out as a panther approaching a meal. Hungry, reaching for his friend’s cock with his right
hand, Blake stroked his shaft with his left. He witnessed his friend’s eyes roll back in pleasure. Other than his own, he hadn’t held a cock in his hands in years. Miguel’s pink head deserved his attention. A little freaked out by how easy this was, by how natural it
felt, Blake tried to stay calm and just go with it.
Miguel moaned louder in Spanish then ordered, “You’re going to be a good niño and suck my cock.”
Nodding in agreement, he asked, “And then?”
“Don’t use your hands.” Cupping his fingers around Blake’s jawline, Miguel brushed his thumb over his lips.
“I’ll keep my hands behind my back.” He clasped his palms by the floor.
“Once I’m nice and hard, I’m gonna face-fuck you, hard.” He glanced down at his dick. “When I come, you’ll swallow me—whole, understand?”
“Is there anything else, boss man?” He pretended he’d swallow, but would spit it out, like they did in adult films. Yes, that was what he’d do. Or take it on his chest, or maybe his face. Maybe.
Miguel rested himself on the mattress. “Get started.”
Supercharged with enthusiasm, he leaned forward and nipped at Miguel’s dick. He ran his tongue in long strokes along his shaft. Spice, sweet and exotic, enveloped his senses. By far the biggest he’d seen, the dick was thick, too. Licking under the shaft, he
produced enough lube to do his duty.
“Taste good?”
“Ah-huh…” He couldn’t believe he was doing this.
“Let me watch you. Take me. Come on, boy.”
First, his lips glided down. The satiny penis head hit the roof of his mouth. He opened wider. A dive down further pressed his face all the way up against the crotch. The black pubes tickled his cheeks.
“Doing good, boy.”
The cock twitched and slid in more. Deeper. Careful not to scrape the skin, his two front teeth rested at the base of his dick.
He looked up at his Latin God with a grin.
Miguel blew him a kiss and seduced Blake to continue. As their playfulness increased, he wondered for a split second what else he’d do for his best friend.
His tongue laced the nuts as he took him in further. Still nervous to pump the dick with his mouth, he continued to suck, sweetly. His nostrils burned. He thirsted for more.
“Fuck!” Miguel shouted. “Take my entire cock, chico guapo.” He pressed his body against Blake’s face. “Caliente.”
He jerked back.
His top became more fired up.

••••••••••••••••
REVIEW: UNSCRUPULOUS is the first instalment and prequel storyline in Avery Aster’s contemporary, erotic series focusing on four best friends (ala Sex in the City). This is Tabitha (Taddy) Brill and hotel billionaire Warner Truman’s story.
The focus of the story follows successful public relations consultant Taddy Brill and the man who will eventually steal her heart. The reader is jetted around the world from Manhattan to Portugal to Cannes and home. As the owner of Brill, Inc, Taddy is thrust into the world of the rich and famous; up and coming; and wanna-be stars of today and tomorrow but it is a world with which she is all too familiar. But one thing is missing in Taddy’s life and that is love; the love of family. Her best friends Vive, Lexie and Blake have always been there for her and without their support Taddy would be lost. Her friends are her family and she isn’t willing to let anyone get close enough to tear another hole in her heart. Enter uber rich and sexy Warner Truman and Taddy knows she could lose her heart and so much more.
The relationship between Warner and Taddy begins as a quick sexual encounter in Portugal that is interrupted before it has had a chance to begin. Several months later, Taddy will walk into Warner’s life once again, and this time he is not willing to let anything or anyone interfere in his plans. Taddy will be his and he will do everything to ensure that he never loses her again.
UNSCRUPULOUS is a story about friendship. Friends who are willing to go to the mat for you; have your back; and pay it forward. This is also a story about letting go of the hurt and pain of the past where children are nothing more than accessories in their parent’s lives and accessories that can be placed in a box and taken out only when necessary. This is also a story about finding the one person in your life that will always be there, no matter the demons that continue to knock at your door or call your phone.
Avery Aster writes a sexually erotic storyline with a little bit of humor; a lot of friends; and a travel agenda that will add those air miles to your frequent flyer card. I have enjoyed the series so far.

With Fashion Week approaching, she’ll do whatever it takes to secure the fabrics she needs to make her clothing line an international success—even sleep with her rival.

REVIEW:
NOTE: This series is not intended for anyone under the age if eighteen. The sex scenes are graphic; the language is strong.
UNDRESSED is the second storyline in Avery Aster’s new adult contemporary erotic The Manhattanites series focusing on the rich and powerful. This is Prince Masi and Lex Easton’s storyline.
Lex Easton owns her own line of casual clothing but when the fabric supplier suddenly backs out and refuses shipment, Lex makes an emergency trip to Milan only to discover that the infamous Prince Massimo Tittoni has withheld shipment for personal and business reasons. Knowing that this will probably bankrupt her company, Lex is willing to offer a compromise but Prince Masi offers a deal she will not refuse. But in the end, it may be Masi who loses more than he had bargained for.
Avery Aster weaves an erotic tale of sex and a struggle for power in an industry that changes its’ mind every few months. The heroine is willing to exchange sex to save her business and in this, the storyline begins an intricate dance of eroticism and the building of a relationship between two people who share more than a common interest in the world of fashion.
The secondary characters play integral roles in the storyline and each will have a story to tell. From Prince Masi’s driver, fashion designer and aide, to Lex’s BFFs who own and operate million dollar franchises. Avery Aster has spread the seeds for upcoming novels where, once again, the rich and powerful of Manhattan and Europe will meet in an exotic dance of sex and sensuality.
UNDRESSED is an erotic adventure where two people discover that keeping business and pleasure separate does not always work out they way they planned. Sometimes the heart falls harder when you finally realize that the one that got away, is the one who owns your soul.
