This was ok. Although I finished it, I had several issues with it.Heiress, Elizabeth (Scarlett/Lizzy/Libby etc. etc.) DeVille is a 23 year old virgin. Yes, really. I'm sorry, but this has been done TO DEATH!!!!! Hunter West is a heavy drinker, sometime masochist/sadist, gambler, former drug-addict, daily prostitute user, and an all round moody git.But no matter what he's like, Elizabeth sees the true Hunter like no-one else can. Bleugh. Elizabeth just brushes his past under the carpet. Apparently a crappy childhood absolves your future bad behaviour.The first 20% of the story was messy as hell, and I didn't know if I was coming or going. I was almost going to give up, but I kept going, against my better judgement.The brothel was like a spa/holiday camp, and I wouldn't mind going for a break there myself! lol! All the escorts got on great, with no bitchiness whatsoever. The pimps treated them all with the utmost respect.Most of the character's parents seemed to be vile, horrible people. And the overuse of phrases such as "Holy Cow" and "Holy Crabcakes" were juvenile and unnecessary.This book was all over the place. It's the first thing I've read by Ella James, and it will probably be the last. A better version of this type of book would be The Devil's Pawn by Elizabeth Finn
