Civilization as we know it has gone to hell, and most of the population that remains blames Lynne Harmony for the near downfall of the human race. With no allies, and desperate to survive in this harsh new world, Lynne has one hope- Jax Mercury. Jax is known to be a merciless leader, a dark legend, a man that should not be crossed, but Lynne has a bargaining chip- she might be the only person on earth who could find a cure for the plague that is still decimating the human population. 
 With Lynne's knowledge and Jax's protection, this couple might just be able to provide hope for the future of mankind. 
 Zanetti really knows how to open a story- my attention was grabbed right away and was held until the last page. Steamy, sexy, and well plotted, the first book in the Scorpius Syndrome series has an intriguing premise that will easily pull readers through future books. 
 My only complaint- I'm now dying to get my hands on the next book, while this one isn't officially coming out for another month! 
 Thanks to Kensington Books/Zebra and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
