Ella James, Ella James, you have surprised this fan in the best of ways! After reading your Stained Series I admit I was a little bit skeptical as to how this adult novel would play out. I think many readers feel the same when a favorite Young Adult author jumps genres in what seems like it will be quite the serious manner.Recently I've been on a solid romance book diet, and most have been of the Young Adult variety, so after reading the synopsis for Selling Scarlett over on Goodreads I knew that, skepticism aside, I had to give this book a chance. I am, as of yet, at a loss for words to express how much fun this story was for me. And I'm not talking Disney World fun, I mean a plot that had me from the start and drew me in further with each chapter.I, literally, finished reading this book five minutes ago and while I usually wait a day before writing a review I just knew I had to get on this one right away. While I'm still so excited about it. The way Ella wrote this book leaves me with nothing to have to ponder or process. A stand-alone written just as it should be.Selling Scarlett has a plot with depth, with layers, with intrigue. I got to know the characters and their motivations. There was scenery painted in just such a way that i was able to imagine it in my mind, but in my own way. What you envision may be very different than what I did and sometimes that is just what a reader needs. We see enough of other peoples vision in tv and movies. Let our books set us free!This is not a traditional romance. Not in the least. This is a mystery. This is suspense. Intrigue. Selling Scarlett has drama, angst, lust and the perfect amount of sex in more flavors than one. Like the old Prego pasta sauce commercial said, "It's in there!"
