Scarlet (Scarlet, #1)

by A. C. Gaughen

I adore this book.

I wasn't expecting it to be so colloquial, but it's nor jarringly so and there is a reason for it and I fell into the story quickly.

I love Scarlet, which is a little surprinsg because she's not the sort of character I typically like. She's rough and kind of blind. But she's also fun and I liked that she's tough without being invulnerable.

And I love Robin. I love his nobility and that he's blatently heroic. But he's rough as often as he is kind and he's totally protective but also respects her strengths and the way she can take care of herself. And I love John and Much and the dynamic of these guys who are like her brothers and treat her with care as often as they fight with her. I love those kind of relationships.

I also really like Gaughen's writing style. There is a subtle sense of poetry to a lot of it that I enjoyed.

It's fun and has action and great characters and is dripping with romance. Totally my kind of book. At the end I found myself wanting more of this story and secretly hoping this is a trilogy.
