I loved Selling Scarlett! At first, I had trouble with the first half of the book. It moved slowly as we are introduced to the whole situation and people involved, which bored me at times and at one point I thought the whole book would be slow and I'd end up hating it. But once I reached the second half, the story picked up nicely with both the romance and action.Selling Scarlet is about Elizabeth, a twenty-three year old woman from a well known family that lost most of its money years ago. To help one of her friends who's in trouble, Elizabeth decides to sell her virginity at a brothel, going by the name Scarlett. She didn't think the man she'd crushed on since she was sixteen would be the one to buy her, but Hunter has his own secrets that threaten both their lives and their time together might be shorter than they thought.This book isn't for those who get offended easily. There are situation with very hard-core sex and bondage that might not be easily swallowed by everyone. It's not like other books, unique even though the heroine is a virgin and the hero is somewhat of a man-whore. But unlike other books where the bad boy falls for the good girl, there is actually a story in this book and the romance doesn't start until late on in the book. Thought, there are scenes between Hunter and Elizabeth that are sexy, not to mention the sexual tension that made me just want to scream; hurry the hell up and get together!All in all, I loved the suspense even though it was killing me and I wanted to know what was happening. I was pretty much feeling Hunter's frustration at the situation the whole time while he tried to figure out who was the true threat and how to keep the situation under control. The book wrapped up really nicely and I had a smile on my face when I finished it. Very well written and thought, Selling Scarlett is a great read filled with mystery and a brewing romance.
