When a book finds its way into my dreams, you know it is something. Selling Scarlett by Ella James was not what I was expecting. Yes this book was filled with romance, intriguing characters, and steamy scenes, but a really incredible mystery was woven through all of that.Elizabeth DeVille is a young girl who once had it all, but due to the craziness that is her family, she feels as if she no longer belongs in the high society she still finds herself in. Supported by her wonderful friend Suri, she finds herself stil longing after the hot, bad boy, gambler, bourbon heir Hunter West.Due to her selflessness attempting to help one of her other best friends, Cross, Elizabeth finds herself auctioning off her V-card for big bucks to none other than the man who haunts her dreams.Elizabeth makes for your typical, I-don't-think-I'm-anything-special, heroine. But the thing is I really liked her. She was really nice, caring and if anything she knows what she wants and she goes for it. Hunter West is your typical drool worthy hero with some nasty demons and commitment issues. But through his efforts of dealing with crazy criminal type behavior he finds himself caught in the middle of, you can't help but like the guy.James did a tremendous job drawing the reader into the story and making you feel connected to the characters. There are dark parts to the story and times I really just downright hated some of the characters in the story, Priscilla.I loved this stand alone book which thoroughly entertained me on the way to a HEA. So happy that Cross is getting a book as I can't wait to find out a little more about this other interesting, swoon-worthy in his own right, guy.Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
