Maxwell Sinclair made his fortune by creating stories. Along with the label of NYT Bestseller came many others: playboy, womanizer, arrogant, intense, and asshole.

The very last thing Charlotte Campbell expected when she was tossed in at the last minute to be his handler at a book signing was that he would also be stunning, wildly charismatic, and used to getting what he wants. Today, what he wants is her.

Scorpio is a quick, steamy, billionaire, insta-lust romance that you won't be able to put down.

Author and hopeful romantic, Ariana Rose, dabbles in all forms of contemporary romance. All of her novels have one thing in common. Her heroes and heroines are as passionate about life and love as they are about each other.

Ariana has always been a storyteller with a flair for the dramatic. Born and raised just north of Minneapolis, she's a proud mother of two. When she's not writing, she can be found an ice arena in a figure skating lesson, binge watching her favorite shows or screening an 80s movie she's seen hundreds of times. When she needs to spread her wings a little farther from home, it becomes all about exploring history or traveling to any of her current or new favorite places.

Since she first published in August of 2018, her backlist has grown to include a catalog full of revenge plots, second chances, and always a happily ever after.

Her books are exclusively in Kindle Unlimited, and you can keep up with all of the latest news on upcoming projects by subscribing to her newsletter or searching her socials.

I have to say that I'm totally LOVING The Zodiac Collection, and Scorpio was a novella that packed a super sexy punch. Max is that drool worthy hero who is considered a player but he never saw Charlotte coming. She's the perfect heroine who can go toe to toe with him & that intrigues our hero a great deal. The sparks are flying, and it's not long before they're lighting up the sheets. I LOVED every minute of this story, and would have killed for more pages. Ariana Rose is a fantastic author so y'all need to experience all this spicy goodness for yourselves as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This book should be at the top of everyone’s TBR list. Emotional, opposites attract, feel good story. I loved it. I hope there will be a sequel to this story.

Yet another gem from Ariana Rose. You definitely understood the assignment my friend. I was hooked on this story from the moment I read the blurb for it. Who doesn’t love a rich, famous, private older guy who believes he can have anything he wants. Answer: his fill-in assistant for the weekend. Or at least she keeps telling herself that. Eventually he wears her down, or rather, he lowers his walls just enough that she can see his true colors. And that’s enough for her to reconsider. And then yes, he does get everything he wants, even the girl. But the better news is, so does she 😉

A short steamy billionaire romance is exactly what I needed as a distraction when I read this book, as I was having kind of a bad week, and this book was just perfect for the mood I was in. It was just such a fun time and I really enjoyed reading it. This was just the right kind of steamy for me, it was super smutty and that's everything I was looking for.

I received an ARC of this book, and this is my honest opinion.

This book was full of insta-lust that built into more.

Max is a hard to handle sort of guy, that knows what he wants and will go after it. When he is presented with a new "handler" for work he doens't know what to think.

Charlotte is presented an opprotunity to further her career. Will she be able to handle the hard to handle client?

The build up between these two was so much fun to read. The tension was so well written that it had me wanting more.

Nothing like a steamy novella, short story to keep me going. Loved the fast pace, sexy banter and the instant chemistry between Max and Charlotte.
He is a broody dominant alpha male with play boy qualities while Charlotte is funny, smart, witty, keeps Max on his toes.
It all started with a dare to herself, but she was the only one who saw right through him, challenging him. And of course who doesn’t love a good HEA. Good read! Hard to put down. Have not been disappointed by one book of Ariana Rose, if you haven’t read the rest of her collection check her out.

This is a new author to me and I am glad that I found her. I love the concept of the main author being an author with a temporary assistant. During the signing the conversation Max had with the little boy had me smiling. It made me think of how a book signing should be when meeting authors.

Charlotte was a good FMC. I enjoyed seeing her character and how she went above and beyond with the little boy. Her willingness to step in when Max needed her too was nice to see.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out more books by this author.

A very nice read! Tension building in the best ways. I particularly like how there's no unrealistic confessions of being in love, but passion filled.
