Scorpious Rising is the prequel novella to the "Scorpius Syndrome" series. And I am not sure how I missed out on this one but I am so happy I got to this one. I do wish that I had read this one first before starting the series and its a perfect lesson to READ THE NOVELLAS haha I am definitely going to make an effort to be better about this in the future .

I highly recommend reading this one first before starting the series. I really loved seeing the background information and how Lynne was infected with the "blue" and in this novella is where we see the beginnings of the Scorpius infection. This is also a second chance romance. Our couple in question, was once married, but had some issues and you definitely get the feeling from this that it just wasn't the best timing and they were too young to truly make it work. They both needed the years of maturity. But we see them years later, more mature in age and experience, both settled in their career and able to communicate more honestly. And now they are in a forced proximity situation and reconnect with each other. Absolutely loved seeing how we see the beginnings of the virus and also seeing their romance and the friendship that develops between Nora and Lynne. Reading this novella made me realize how much I love this series and to get back to it and SOON!!

Overall I had a blast with this novella and if you like dystopian romances, then I highly recommend this one!
