I had heard a lot about Selling Scarlett and was really a fan of the cover so when this review opportunity came about I was excited to get this book moved up on my TBR!Selling Scarlett literally.. "Follow Elizabeth--code-named Scarlett--to the lush Nevada brothel where she'll auction her virginity and risk the only thing that's not for sale: her heart. The highest bidder is a familiar face, with wicked hands and the devil's mouth. And a secret so dark that it could cost her life."Selling Scarlett is filled with lots of my favorite themes kidnapping, lies, violence, drama and of course sexy time!Elizabeth AKA Scarlett  the main chick/heroine of this story is trying to help her friend Cross with some medical expenses (even though she is RICH, she's currently broke). Elizabeth's other BFF Suri also plays a big role in Elizabeths life and decision making.Elizabeth decides a quick way to make money is to join a brothel and sell her virginity to the highest bidder. What she didn't expect to happen was Hunter..Elizabeth has a serious crush on Hunter. The dynamics of their relationship definitely sucks for her. She wants Hunter but due to his baggage he plays hard to get. Despite wanting her just the same.And I wish for the first time, that I was a free man.Really free, I wish that I could have her.Not just for a night. She's not that kind of woman. And the crazy thing is, when i'm with her i'm not that kind of guy.- Loc 3809Hunter has his own demons and issues going on that he is trying to settle . Falling for Libby (what he likes to call her) or anyone is not in the plans and actually makes things harder for him.The sexual tension between these too is frustrating as ever! I can't share too much about their relationship without giving away a huge chunk of the story but its not your average romance.There are so many loop holes in this book so as usual pay attention while reading. Now that I know there are going to be other books in this series but focusing on different characters these loop holes make sense and will hopefully be answered in the future books.Selling Scarlett is one of those books that will either be a page turner for you or not. It was a page turner for me I couldn't stop until I was finished. However I did feel like that there was something missing I am not sure what the something was? Maybe it was all the different things that kept popping up that caused my confusion.I was very happy with the ending. This screwed up story ended with a HEA which leaves readers wondering what the future holds for not only Elizabeth & Hunter.SMIBookClub received a ARC of Selling Scarlett from the author in exchange for a honest review.-Laters, Juewelz xoSMIBookClub.com
