Your heart shall be his, then will come the sting. You will suffer… and then you shall burn.The words chill me to the bone. That’s my fate. At least, that’s what the palm reader says.Destiny, horoscopes… who believes in that? I sure don’t. I make my own future, thank you very much.But when I meet Scott Danger, the words come back to haunt me. His name even comes with a warning label. Handsome, … with a warning label. Handsome, rich, and sexier than any man should be, he’s pursuing me hard and fast. Little ol’ me, a bartender with a penchant for makeup and old country music.
He’s dominant and seductive, a predator caged in gilded threads, and I want to run just so he’ll chase me… catch me… take me. Shit. I’m in so much trouble, but I think I like it.
Still, those eerie words… do I tempt fate?
Scorpio is a full-length Romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

Intense, original, and totally Lauren Landish! I LOVE a fresh idea and this love story with a twist of fate delivers. Mr. Danger rocks. You’ll swoon so hard you might need seat nearby.
Lauren Landish is definitely one of my go to authors. As usual, Scorpion does not disappoint. I absolutely loved Maddie and Scott. Their chemistry was off the charts. This story has everything I love. Strong female, hot alpha male, some drama, some suspense, heat, love, and laughter.
The best way to predict the future is to create it…
What drew me to this story was how everything is intertwined around a fortune reading told to our heroine Madison. Her fortune did not really hit home until she met Scott. Scott walked into the bar where she worked and Madison and Scott’s lives were forever changed.
They come from different worlds, but the attraction for each other was addictive and could not be tamed. They both have family abandonment issues which I believe drew them even closer to each other. Scott is an alpha male and the need to protect Madison was strong and second nature to him. Madison is an independent fierce woman and will not be bridled by any man. She had already gone through a relationship such as this and will never go through it again.
This was an emotional story that was very passionate, steamy and romantic. A winning combination.
This is one epically delicious romance!! I loved Madison and Scott. She was so incredibly genuine and he was very swoony! Their chemistry was sizzled and their attraction was seismic. The story was fun but also had plenty of heart. I thought this was just an all around great read.
Such a great book! Just the right pacing with a new, different, and interesting storyline. I loved Madison and Scott! Landish writes characters unlike anyone else with layers of richness and real that pull you in and keep you coming back. I’m never ready to say goodbye when the book is done and will be waiting with bated breath until I get my next book from this great author. I highly recommend this book and all of her others.
I requested and received an arc copy of this book. This is my voluntary, true, and honest opinion. I enjoyed it so much I read again post-release. Such a great read!
Lauren WOW loved it, I really loved Madison and Scott’s story i couldn’t put it down until I finished it. They had an instant attraction towards each other and there chemistry was off the charts. Love the HEA. Awesome story would highly recommended it,I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy.
Ms Landish charms us with another great love story. Madison has been abandoned, betrayed and abused, yet with the help of a loving Aunt May and a strong support group of friends, she finally bounces back and is ready to take the bull by the horns again. That is, until her friend Tiffany convinces her to go to a fortune telling and her future scares the bejesus out of her!
Scott has never received the approval of his father and was raised by nannies, never experiencing the love of family. When he meets Madison, he sees something refreshing in her and immediately feels the need to protect and claim her as his own. But that’s easier said than done!
Join them on their journey of ups and downs as they search for their HEA!
Madison and Scott are finding that the fates are quite fickle ladies not to be ignored. Madison never thought she would place any stock in the mumbo gumbo black arts practices Tiffany seems so enamored with. But one trip to the friendly neighbor psychic leaves her feeling like she living under a dark cloud. When a complete stranger is able to not only pull seemingly unknowable facts from thin air, but also give a very ominous warning, it does make a girl give pause. Scott has been fighting to be worthy and competent in his father’s’ eyes for years. He finally thought by pitching a be all end all idea for him, it would finally tip the scales in his favor, but his father is nothing if not a game maker. When a we earned night of booze indulgence seems like the next step, he is stunned by the path illuminated to him. Something about the beautiful, bold, and bewitching Madison calls to him. It’s like like destiny has spoken, but deciphering her meanings is in the eyes of the beholder.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.
Great book.
I didn’t think it was possible for any book written by Lauren Landish to outdo the previous book, but Scorpio has proven me wrong! This super hot and steamy page turner kept me riveted to this book until the very last word. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was that it ended and now I have to wait for another book from Lauren. That being said, and no spoilers here, the characters are wonderful and draw you into their drama as if you were actually there. Here you have a second chance at love, the main characters aside from the barroom setting would otherwise be unlikely to cross paths and have destiny take over, electricity, chemistry, drama, engaging, (I’m running out of descriptors) call it what you will, this story tugs on your emotions in every direction, and that is what is so wonderful about the author’s stories, the tomes she pens are always engaging and never disappointing. If you are looking for a book to hook you, give you a fast paced enjoyable read, and finally leaves you wanting more of this author’s books, one click this now. You won’t be sorry.
WOW! This book shows that you cannot judge a book by its title. When I got this book before reading the blurb i thought it was a mafia/villain type book. To my great pleasure it wasnt. I loved this book as I simply love all of Lauren Landish’s book. I would definitely recommend it!!
If you like horoscopes then this is the read for you and I actually enjoyed the horoscope readings at the beginning of each chapter, even if I don’t read them myself. Scott Danger is definitely a danger to Madison but to her heart and after a reading from a psychic she is more cautious of the man who happens to be a Scorpio but also has a scorpion as a tattoo, warned of the sting from a scorpion from the psychic. But Scott doesn’t give up and needles his way in and soon the two are enjoying each other. But there is something on the horizon and neither of them can steer clear of it…will it leave Madison badly burned as predicted.
I LOVED LOVED this read and Lauren Landish has a way of telling a story that you don’t want to let go. There’s steamy hot scenes to melt icebergs, as well as some suspense and action. Scott’s past and current relationship with his dad and his siblings, his need for control, his drive and determination, his need to win and competiveness…what a man..but what really got me was his ability for compassion, kindness, protectiveness and being able to be a bigger man when it really counted. I loved Madison’s independence, strength, beauty and being able to reach Scott where no else could. I loved how it all played out, I loved how there weren’t women crawling out of the woodwork, I loved how there were no jealousies or people trying to break them apart, I loved how there was no over the top drama…it didn’t need it. I LOVED how this story was about them, how they complimented each other, how the story flowed and how it all played out from beginning to end..it’s safe to say I LOVED this read !
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
In my opinion this is one of Lauren Landish best works. The story flowed, had an element of horoscope, family, forgiveness and some drama. For most there were a couple of twist, but I had them predicted from the beginning, that did not change anything for me. I liked Scott from the start he is arrogant, smart, driven, insecure, possessive, protective and has his baggage. The one quality I really liked is that he learned to listen and was willing to give up control when needed. I loved Madison from the start she is feisty, smart, strong, independent, insecure, and comes with baggage. The quality loved most about Madison is how devoted she is to her family. When these two get together it was explosive. I could feel both Madison and Scott’s insecurities when they came up. I related to the insecurities because I have had them at one time or another. Lauren Landish pulled me into the story. In my opinion if you are a Lauren Landish fan she did not disappoint. I would recommend, in my opinion the story is worth reading. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.
