From Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Lauren Landish comes two daring tales that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

Filthy Riches:

I’m just a girl, with dreams too big and hopes verging on hopeless. I never planned to become his.

Nathan Stone. Fiercely handsome. Powerful. The pull between us borders on primal. I need to be careful, he’s a dangerous man with even more dangerous enemies.

Entertaining!

Filthy Riches: the first book was great. Full of spunk,comedy, action and adventure.Loved Emma and Carly. They ran circles around their alpha, growling men.
Scorpio: the second book was a bit long. Most of the book was abut a “boo hoo” little rich man. He obnoxiously thought that his lifestyle was better then the hardworking young woman bartender. It started getting interesting toward the end. He got a dose of humility and a lesson on real love. Maybe there will be book about Tiffanie Maddison’s friend. Maybe she and Chase/ The narrators did a great job.

2 for 1

#1 - Loved this dual romance! Insta-lust with a dangerous man with mafia ties and a clumsy meet cute with a big mysterious man.
Warning for physical assault.
LOL apparently I already listened to this exactly 1 year ago 😅
#2 - This is why I don't do fortune telling, just in case... Loved this!!

Too much and then not enough

I wasn’t a great fan of the female narrators but the male was pleasant. There was so much jumping around that sometimes I had a difficult time sorting out what character line I was listening to. The characters could have been developed deeper, but they were enjoyable, overall. The real rub that I have was the awful bedroom talk. You are being told that these people are in love and then their bedroom talk makes everything sound tainted. Just not believable.

Very good, very , very good! Awesome listening !

Absolutely loved it! I can't wait to listen to the others! I was completely entertained by this book!

Unpredictable with a side of sexy.

Dive into a masquerade of power, drama, intrigue and romance that will have your head spinning and your heart ready to jump out of your chest. Landish takes emotions on a rollercoaster ride that never seems to want to come down.  Unpredictable with a side of sexy.



Filthy Riches - Landish seduces with a sex appeal that is downright dangerous.  There are moments when your eyes want to look away, but your heart refuses to miss a thing. Nathan and Emma lure emotions to the edge and force them over the side.


Scorpio - Expect the unexpected. Scott is an enigma that is waiting to be solved. A master of disguise that pulls at more than just your heart. Madison is in over her head and it may end up costing her, her heart. 

loved it

I was not expecting to feel so much for the characters. The narrators were on point. This is one of the best reads of my life. Can't wait to hear the sequals.

First is much better than the second book.

I assumed these books would have some type of overlap, but they are two separate stories. The first was a great book, the second was good but not excellent. Two for one (since they are paired together) was still a great deal for the books in general.

Love the stories but what's the tie?

Both stories were great very well written and entertaining but I would have liked a tie between the 2 books other than the males H are both billionaire dominants. Enjoyed the narrative. I laughed several times while reading this.

Being so dismissive of sexual assault is dangerous.

First, I typically enjoy this author. I’ve listened to a lot of her books and although there have been a few that aren’t my favorite, for the most part I enjoy her work. “Scorpio” (the 2nd book in this duo) has me questioning whether or not I will click on another one of her titles in the future.
Let’s be clear, regardless of if a man has “just had too much to drink” or not, when a woman is yelling “NO” and pushing away a man’s aggressive physical advances (as he touches her while she fights to get away and he slurs profanity that insinuates he’s going to r*pe her) is ABSOLUTELY sexual assault. That man would’ve been arrested, regardless of alcohol consumption. His intent was to take something she was fighting against.
Following up that horrific moment with several chapters where every character (except for the boyfriend - who is rightly outraged) write it off as the assailant “just being drunk”, is not only irresponsible, but dismissive to the crime of sexual assault and a dangerous message to send to women. I think the moment that made me the most upset is when the character who is “like a mother” to the main female, calls the time she takes off after the assault a “pity party”….and then again states how Carl was just drunk.
I actually couldn’t believe what I was hearing as the story went on.
This author needs to either rewrite this part of the book or remove it from audible all together.
And I’m disappointed no one else has brought this up in other reviews. I wouldn’t have purchased this set had I known it contained such disregard for a serious topic.

First Book Great Second Meh…

I enjoyed the first book in this duet but I couldn’t get through book 2. Narration was excellent story was okay.
