Viper

Steel Scorpions MC #4

by Savannah Rylan

She's not my type.
Lila is all about looks and money.
I only care about my bike and my brothers.
But after a fire breaks out and she plays hero,
I wonder if there's more than meets the eye.
She thinks I'm just some muscle.
I think she's hot AF.
A little tryst between coworkers never hurt.
Right?
Wrong.

Going Up In Flames!!

The Steel Scorpions MC clubs are doing just that with Bullet on the rampage he’s been burning their clubs to the ground. The Steel Scorpions are ready to take out Bullet but need to find an in. Viper runs one of the last clubs that the club still has and he has brought their premier girl over to this club and she is getting rave reviews with all the patrons…as well as Viper.

Lila is in hiding and is ready to make her next escape if need be. The only thing different this time is she really likes where she’s at and now with Viper in the mix it’s making it all the harder for her to move once she is found yet again by her crazy stalker. Viper has vowed to keep her safe but is that even possible especially when he finds out who her stalker really is.

This book was steamy, action packed with the right amount of suspense thrown in. I loved the relationship between Viper and Lila and I was swooning over Viper and his protectiveness. This is another great addition to the Steel Scorpions MC series that I’ve come to love.

3.75 stars-

VIPER is the fourth instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult STEEL SCORPIONS erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the Steel Scorpions MC. This is Viper and Lila Foster’s story line. VIPER can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: Several months earlier the Steel Scorpions broke up a human trafficking ring run by the Devil’s Rage MC, and in the ensuing months a battle for territory has seen most of the Steel Scorpions’ bars and night clubs burned to the ground.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Viper and Lila) VIPER follows in the wake of a number of fires that have destroyed the Steel Scorpions businesses and clubs. With the Tease night club burned to the ground, burlesque dancer Lila Foster begins working at Twisted, the lone surviving club owned by the Steel Scorpions MC but all is not well as the Steel Scorpions continue to be targeted by an unknown assailant, and Lila’s past is about to come full circle. What ensues is the forbidden relationship between Lila and Viper, and the potential fall-out as Lila’s past ensures she never walks away, again.

Lila Foster has a stalker. Our heroine is on the run but her past is very powerful and always has a way of uncovering her whereabouts. Landing in the small town of Twin Bays, Lila knows it is only a matter of time before her stalker discovers where she now lives. Viper knows that to enter into a relationship with Lila means to cross a line drawn in the proverbial sand but Viper has fallen for our story line heroine, a fall that places himself and the MC in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Viper and Lila is one of immediate attraction but Viper has been warned to stay clear of the dancers. The heart wants something it cannot have, and when Lila’s past demands her return, Viper becomes protector and guardian of the woman with whom he has fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

We are reintroduced to the Steel Scorpions MC: Bender, Angel, Goose, Reaper and Fangs, as well as several prospects and Lila’s fellow dancers, and Lila’s stalker Wesley Abbott. Reaper’s story line is next.

VIPER is a story of obsession and infatuation, power and money, betrayal and vengeance, love and control. The fast paced premise is captivating, and entertaining the romance is erotic and intense; the characters are numerous, energetic, charismatic and determined. VIPER ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-the conflict has yet to be resolved.

If you’re a fan of MC series then I highly recommend this series by Savannah Rylan. The men are all very alpha and will stop at nothing to protect their woman. This book had it all and the characters of Viper and Lila will capture your heart with their beautiful fast paced love. Viper is an action man who is more inclined to act than let anyone else do things for him and that is evident when Lila and a few girls are caught up in a building fire and Viper comes to help the ladies get away from the fire. Although his actions were instinctive he was not about to let any harm come to them. Lila is hiding from a ghost from her past and her and Viper strike up a friendship which soon develops into something more serious. When Lila’s past comes back to not only haunt her but also put her life in danger Lila puts herself in the line of fire but Viper is there at every turn to have her back and protect her. I loved the drama, action and emotions as both open up to each other and also loved Lila's sassiness. A great read by Ms Rylan which had lots of twists and some very passionate moments between Lila and Viper. Looking forward to reading Reaper’s book next.

I received an arc copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

To be quite honest, I enjoyed reading this suspenseful MC romance. It is the forth book in the “Steel Scorpions MC” series & can be read as a standalone although I would suggest reading the series, to fully understand the underlying storyline. It has an interesting well-paced plot with just the right amount of action to keep the reader’s attention. The characters (a female burlesque dancer, Lila aka Emily) & (a Steel Scorpion’s MC enforcer, Viper) are really interesting with their unique individuality & against all odds, they develop good chemistry between them. The secondary characters offer good support throughout the storyline.
There is: a rival MC (Devil’s Rage), a despicable stalker (Wesley Abbott), twists & turns, drama, suspense, action, secrets, deceit, obsession, manipulations, sabotage, danger, threats, violence, determination, compromises, love, steamy scenes & a HFN conclusion. There is an exceptional interesting preview of the next book (Reaper) in this series and I will be waiting with great anticipation for it

Viper is book 4 in the Steele Scorpions MC series by Savannah Rylan. It can be read as standalone, but I'd recommend reading the books in order for a better experience.

Viper is the enforcer of the club and Lila is a dancer at one of the club's owned by the MC. After a rival MC begins to burn down the club's businesses, Lila finds work at a club, where Viper is tasked with the protection of the dancers. There's one rule : no relationships between coworkers. But this rule flies out the window when these two start getting to know each other better and discovering there's more than meets the eye.

There's danger, action, lies, secrets, manipulation, love, passion and steam to be found in this book.

It was a great addition to the series and I can't wait for Reaper's book.

Thank you to The Next Step PR and Savannah Rylan for providing me with an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest, voluntary review

Excellent MC Series continues…
Viper’s storyline reminds me of an office romance but much much edgier. After all, Viper isn’t a CEO he’s an enforcer for the MC Steel Scorpions and Lila is a Burlesque dancer at one of the MC’s clubs, which unfortunately are getting destroyed.
Lila has an interesting backstory that includes a name change due to very rich and dangerous stalker. He has reappeared and in twinned himself so now the Scorpions are involved. I’m not going to say anymore about the storyline as I don’t want to give any of the juicy bits away. What I will say is the the relationship between Viper and Lila is hot.
I’m definitely recommending this book and series for your reading pleasure. PEACE.

I have loved this series for years and the more Ms. Rylan writes about them, the more i fall a little more in love with the hot alpha males and their take charge attitudes. The women are all alpha women who can take care of their selves and anyone else they need to.
When they come together as teams then there is nothing and no one they can take care of or get rid of. This is what truly makes a great read,

[Debbie Earley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Viper and Lila. These two are explosive in the sheets. Action packed, steamy, insta love I can't get enough. Lila is one tough cookie, but when her past finders her turns to Viper and the club. Revelation come to light and they end up helping each other. This is one book you don't want to miss. I can't wait to read Reaper.

This was an excellent book and a wonderful addition to this series. I really liked Viper and Lila. These two were a highly volatile combination of sizzle and sparks. The well written story quickly grabbed and easily maintained my interest with its enticing blend of action, drama, emotion and heat. I am posting a volitional, forthright review.

Now we have to wait for Reaper's story to find out what is in store next for these badass bikers of the Steel Scorpions MC!

[Heather Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book #4 in the series. You can read as a standalone. However, book #3 ties into book #4.

In this book we have Viper, who is an enforcer with the Steel Scorpions, has misjudged Lila. He thinks she's only about making herself pretty and having money. She's not that shallow though.

We also have Lila. Lila seems to hold her own. She doesn't need a man to help her. She is able to do tasks by herself. She can run into a burning fire to rescue her friends. She can punch a man who is trying to kidnap her. She can handle herself. She's not a wimpy girly girl. Lila is a Burlesque dancer at one of the Steel Scorpions clubs. She had to move to a new club the MC owns and is trying to work with the new girls at the club. She has to dance on top of a bar like in Coyote Ugly. It sounds like it would be fun.

Will Lila be able to open up about her past to Viper? Will Viper be able to handle himself around her if other men touch her?

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.

When the Burlesque Club owned by the Steel Scorpions is on fire Lila and her two friends are rescued by Viper, Bender and Reaper, with no means of rent Viper signs Lila on to dance at the last remaining bar they own. With all their resources focused on keeping this bar safe it still succumbs to a power cut which results in some of the patrons taking advantage and wrecking the place. Whilst cleaning up Viper and Lila become closer. Lila has a stalker which finds out where she is and Viper and the club vow to protect her especially when they find out who he is.

Fantastic page turning read.

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this book.
Lila is a wonderful character. She strong, tough, loyal to her friends, and is desperately trying to move on from her stalker.
Viper is your typical alpha male. He is fiercely protective of his club and the women who work in their clubs.
These two are attracted to each other but they are employer/employee. But their attraction can't be denied.
When Lila proves to be a key factor in their fight against Bullet, can Viper let her?

[GKP2460 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bullet and the Devil's Rage are wreaking havoc but they aren't doing it all on their own.
Viper and Lila's is just packed with surprises, twists and turns you won't see coming. It packs a heckuva punch! Can't wait for Reaper to continue the story.

Viper is one of my newest fave of the Steel Scorpions MC book #4. This has two wonderful characters that are so different in many ways. Lila &Viper's story was yet another action-packed thrilling emotional raw emotional ride with some heat under the sheets, what i like is the thrill and chaos always going on with these Alpha biker club.

The club is still dealing with one of their worst enemies he is recking havoc and causing some much emotionally charged chaos from Bullet, Pres. Devils Rage MC who is attacking and burning down the Steel Scorpions clubs making good on his threat to destroy and take everything that matters to the club, but what he doesn't realize is the backlash will soon seal his fate cause these men refuse to lose it all to this manic

To save this full of spunk and sassy woman Lila it takes Viper and his brothers rush into the burning building to save her and the other two dancers who ended up trapped inside a burning building because she called the club needing help saving her fellow co workers and friends at the club. Viper finds that he has a strong attraction to Lila so once he she needs a new place to work after the fire destroyed the club she was in she got an offer to work at Twisted but this only gives Viper more togetherness to form a stronger attraction to the Sassy dancer who sparked a flame.

Viper doesn't want a relationship he doesn't do strings attached so is this going to be a friend with benefits relationship or just some happy moments shared between to adults? Or we he break his own rules and hang ups about relationships? This story is explosively violent, with lots of twists and turns a bit of all types of emotions such as hate, love, lust, revenge and steamy pages too.... Thrilling emotional ride amazing addition to series.

Readers get ready for another page turner with Viper and Lila's story, with Bullet burning down another one of the Steel Scorpion's clubs. Viper, as the enforcer for the club, is doing all he can to put a stop to the carnage as he tracks the culprit. Saving Lila, their best dancer from the latest fire, he falls hard for her and finds that she is a woman in hiding and on the run from a stalker. But when her stalker is revealed, will he be able to save her? "Viper" is a standalone read with all the feels, romance, and drama that we have come to expect from a Savannah Rylan story. **I was gifted "Viper" via the author, leaving my review based on my reading.** 4.5 Stars!

This is book #4 from the Steel Scorpion’s MC. The main characters are Viper and Lila. The story continues with the mystery of who burned down all their businesses except one. They have an idea that it is Bullet the Pres of the rival MC Devil’s Rage. When Lila goes to work at the last standing establishment she meets Viper and sparks fly. There are a lot of twist & turns, obsession, action, steamy scenes and throw in a stalker. This was a great read and so looking forward to read Reaper’s story.

This is the fourth book in this phenomenal series and is Viper and Lila’s journey. The Steel Scorpions are suffering at the hands of an assailant who is targeting all off their businesses and clubs, by burning them down, and they only have one surviving club at present. Lila is a burlesque dancer who is working at the club, and she has a stalker whom she has been on the run from, but her past always comes back to haunt her. There is an instant connection between Viper and Lila, even though he has been warned that the dancers are off limits, and he will do whatever he must to protect and keep her safe. This is a well written emotional roller coaster, which is raw, and gritty, with intrigue, danger, suspense, angst, chaos, violence, and is an intense and steamy riveting page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Viper and Lila!!!

Viper’s never wanted a girl as much as he wants Lila, but he doesn’t understand why. Lila isn’t his usual type, and even worse, he’s her boss. But something about her draws him in, and he can’t make himself stay away.

I am absolutely obsessed with the Steel Scorpions MC, and this book did not disappoint! Viper and Lila’s story was both unique and addicting, and I was so invested that I read it in two straight hours!!! The action was exhilarating, and the steamy scenes were *chef’s kiss* The author has a way of drawing me into this world she’s created and making me never want to leave it.

Lila. I loved that Lila was more than just a pretty girl, she’s got brains and a smart aleck attitude that I just adored. She was an amazing character, and I loved reading about her! Viper. I loved how protective he was of Lila, and how he was willing to burn down the world if it meant keeping her safe. He’s also fiercely loyal, and he can definitely hold his own in a fight!

I am obsessed with this world, and I cannot wait for book five!!!

✌️

This story was slow to begin with, but became increasingly enticing to the point where I could not put it down. I feel like the ending was incomplete, I wanted- for lack of a better word- more. I wanted to know more than what I was told; it came to a point where I just couldn't put this book down. Over all, this novel deserves a high rating because it was deliciously good.
