**I received this book from Netgalley and Indie Inked in exchange for an honest review**http://romancebymegmeg.blogspot.comSelling Scarlett by Ella James was very different than I thought it would be and thus, so much better than I had anticipated. This was a well developed and interesting story.I very much enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth and Hunter, learning their back stories. Since Ella James allowed us to get to know these two both together and apart from one another, you know they are about far more than sex.Hunter is such a Mr. Hotpants and playboy. He has a dark present and is battling through a difficult time. He also has a strong attraction, that he has been fighting for years, for Elizabeth. And when he finds her in an empty room, pleasing herself on his bed he can't let the moment pass him by and it changes EVERYTHING.Elizabeth has had a giant crush on Hunter since she was a girl but he doesn't seem to know that she is alive. Does he even know her name? After their bedroom "incident", she's out to lose her v-card and bury her feelings for Hunter. Clearly, he doesn't want her and she needs to face reality. So she's going to sell it, to the highest bidder, and save her hospitalized best friend at the same time.I liked that Hunter wanted Libby even when she was chubby, that he found her attractive and was drawn toward her. I love that he noticed her before she lost weight and when he saw her thinner, he worried about and only wanted that for her if it was for herself and no one else. He wanted her happy, not starving or caring about what other people thought.I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the characters, enthralled by the mystery, and I couldn't help but root for my (ahem, I mean their) happily ever after.I couldn't put this book down. It kept me awake until the wee hours of the morning. So very good.
