Selling Scarlett was an intriguing story with a healthy balance of romance and mystery. This book was a classic example of just how far people will go to protect the ones they love.Elizabeth DeVille, the heiress to a bottled-water company, secludes herself and her own family secrets from the world. It's when her best friends drag her to a party that she runs into Hunter West, a guy she has had a crush on since she was 16 years old. Hunter is a professional poker player, a Bourbon heir, and a playboy with an appetite for fast women.When Elizabeth's very best friend is in danger, she is forced to make some hard decisions that will ultimately weave her into Hunter's world of secrets. Will she be able to make it out alive?I began reading this book and was quickly hooked on the story. Elizabeth and Hunter have a chemistry for one another that is insatiable. Early on I began rooting for them, even though I knew it was such a bad idea. I can't help but root for the bad boys!The suspense in this book was riveting. Once the author had given us a bit of the backstory, we quickly get thrown into the story of crime and blackmail that haunts Hunter and watch as the hero and heroine struggle to save one another in this dangerous world.I can't wait to read more about these characters and am excited for the next book in this series to come out this summer! This was a great weekend read.Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
