Scorpio Superstar (Written in the Stars Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Sundari Venkatraman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 154 ratings
Kollywood superstar Chandrakanth, also known as CK, is a true-blue Scorpio, communicating with his eyes and believing in showing more than telling.

His website and social media consultant Ranjini is a Piscean through and through, fiercely independent.

It is love at first glance for Chandrakanth when he meets Ranjini; so strong are his feelings that he proposes marriage on their second meeting. Ranjini, fascinated by his starry persona, gets swept off her feet. The two get married without much of the world knowing—including CK's aunt and his ex.

The two women set out to settle their scores on Ranjini who suddenly begins to feel a strain in her fairy tale marriage.

While passion reigns on the one hand, there’s trouble in paradise on the other. Although CK is by her side, the Scorpio in him expects her to trust him implicitly. But can the Pisces in Ranjini accept him at his word?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 68 books to her credit. These books have consistently featured in the Top 100 Bestseller Lists on Amazon India, Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and Amazon Australia in both romance as well as Asian Drama categories. Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.

These days, the author is independently publishing her novels in paperback format under her banner Flaming Sun, printed and distributed by Notion Press.

Even as a child, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome and she grew up on a steady diet of fairy tales, Phantom comics and Mandrake comics. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy ending after the protagonists surmounted all unexpected obstacles.

Once she entered her teens, Sundari switched her loyalties from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to local heroes and heroines. And of course, the joy of vanquishing the ubiquitous evil villains! Her imagination soared and she happily ensconced herself in a rosy romantic cocoon for many years.

Then came the writing—a true bolt from the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.

    With Ms. Venkatraman’s books, you need not give any introduction; you just have to read it. Once you read any one of her books, you’d end up picking all. This romance also promises to attract the readers for a lifetime binge of the author’s books.
    A superstar of the south, Chandrakanth aka CK (or Chandru for a very special person) has almost the whole of Tamil Nadu and more than three-fourths of south India going gaga over him. In Tamil Nadu, people see him as a demi-God image. And there is his website handler, a normal girl with her business, living and leading a cozy life with her family.
    The journey towards the culmination of their stars begins the moment they meet. The Scorpio and Pisces couple is sure to keep you hooked to their journey towards fulfillment, love, and completeness. And if you are a regular reader of Ms. Venkatraman, you’d know the sure chemistry between the protagonists.
    An amazing chemistry and growing relationship is in store for you. Why is it always that her books make me set my relationship goals (of course with my husband ;)) higher? I and my doppelgangers-- the one in white with the halo on her head and one in black with the devilish red horns-- are thinking about that! As a matter of fact, we have concluded that we can easily write a thesis on Sundari Venkatraman and her works.
    The nuances she adds, especially in this book, are so perfect and a natural part of the story that it reflects on the society and human nature. One such moment is when one of the characters complains about Ranju’s dusky complexion against Chandru’s fairer one even though, for Chandru, she is a stunning woman with a beautiful heart. Periamma’s insecurities lead her to say things which cause trouble and riles up Ranju. And of course, with a Superstar so huge it is natural for women to try and hook their claws on to him. The tale is weaved smoothly, without making it clichéd.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Scorpio Superstar reminds you of the real superstars of cinema and adds an edge of reality and humility to them. Chandrakanth or Chandru as he is lovingly called is the reigning superstar of Tollywood, a hunk, handsome, good-looking, smart and a man used to having his way. He falls for his social media manager when he meets her for the first time, even though she has been working for him for a while.

    Ranjini, awed as she is by the superstar she still manages to keep her head when he woos her hoping to sweep her off her feet. She is beautiful, intelligent, and smart enough to stand her own in front of the superstar and a few of his ardent supporters.

    Sundari has linked this love story with the zodiac signs making it interesting as the Scorpio guy and Piscean girl Ranjini fall in love and find togetherness. The fun elements of the zodiac ring true as the characters have an express courtship and wedding.

    The book moves so fast that we see them married and settled within a few chapters making one wonder – what now? The actual fun starts as people are not just surprised by the wedding but envious of Ranjini ensuring that the newlyweds do not get much bliss. Family and co-workers try their best to drive them apart but with love and wit manage to outshine them. An Ex who is not really one and an aunt who behaves, unlike her stature. Ranjini is left to pacify both and even get Chandru out of trouble, quite a go-getter she is!

    The story is a quick read, filled with the right amount of love and lust. Sundari ensures her books are exactly what she promises – a fun, relaxed romance.  Pick any book by her and it will help you unwind and a see India through the eyes of the women protagonists. Often her books deal with a social issue that is obvious yet hushed in our lives.

    #ScorpioSuperstar comes with its own message about women who work. Sundari explains the need for Ranjini to work in spite of being married to a rich superstar. How often a woman’s career is sidelined, ignored, belittled since she is not the breadwinner of the house? Even if she makes a paltry sum or works as a social service, it is the ‘work’ that is important. Sundari and #ScorpioSuperstar laud the women who work, work because they want to, not because they need to.

    Love, family and our lives as a reflection, a perfect balance in yet another bestseller by the indie-published, super successful Sundari Venkatraman.

    Two words for Sundari – Keep Writing.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A one time read, if you don't mind insta-love
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017
    Rating Edit: 2.5 Stars

    I've read quite a few books by this author, and I've liked her earlier books better than her more recent ones. And the trend seems to continue with Scorpio Superstar, as it's just not my kind of book.

    For one, there is insta-love (or lust, in this case), which is something I always have a hard time to accept in romances, as the thing I love most about the genre is witnessing two people fall in love. So when that is kind of fast-forwarded, I feel cheated. Of-course there are exceptions, when handled well, there have been times I've been okay with the insta-love plots, but this wasn't one of those exceptions.

    Moreover, while there was conflict present in the story, it wasn't strong enough, as the path to happily ever after was relatively smooth for CK and Ranjini, with only a few minor bumps in the road. And I know that in real life that sounds kinda ideal (because well, it is ideal), but in books it's pretty dull to read.

    Having said that, the concept itself was pretty interesting - which was romantic pairings based on star signs. It reminded me of my college days, when me and my girlfriends used to religiously pore over all those Linda Goodman star-sign analysis, and try to justify the crushes we had. 😀

    Also, CK & Ranjini were pretty likable characters, with personality traits very true to their star signs. Ranjini was especially interesting to read, 'cause while she definitely had her failings and vulnerabilities, she was also one tough, confident firecracker.

    All in All: I think it's a decent one time read, if you don't mind insta-love, and want some light reading to pass your time.

    *I am not a movie buff so do not know about concentric details about it ,But… I do watch Gujarati Plays and Short Urban Family Movies with a keen interest in it so might be my review will be biased or not up to one′s expectation .

    Scorpio Superstar (Written in the Stars Book 1) by Sundari Venkatraman is a good read book .

    She has penned her characters Chandrakanth and Ranjini very well .

    I do not know anything about pros and cons of a superstars life so I would not comment on character sketch of Chandrakanth …

    On the other hand Sundari has sketched Ranjini ′s in a supremely blissful way . A Pisces person is very difficult nut to crack for any one for that matter as they cannot accept things so dam easily you all might be know about them me saying with a wink .

    Otherwise the book is perfect mixture of drama, emotions and helplessness .

    I do not like the stingy attitudes of aunts and other relatives . But if they are not there life would become tasteless like water .

    So do read this book for CK the Scorpio Hero …..I DO PREFER MEN WITHOUT MUSTACHE ,SUNDARI …….

    I THANK THE AUTHOR FOR GIVING ME HER BOOK Scorpio Superstar (Written in the Stars Book 1)FOR A HONEST FEEDBACK.

    Reviewed in India on January 14, 2022

    A strong, irresistible hero, a beautiful and confident girl, emotional tension, believable plot, and happy-ever ending, these five ingredients make a perfect romance book recipe.

    “Scorpio Superstar” by “Sundari Venkatraman” is the first book of the “written in the stars” series.

    The book follows the story of 29 years old Chandrakanth aka, CK, a Kollywood superstar. He has a super fan following; Tamil Nadu people see him as a Demi-God. (a glimpse of Rajnikanth came into my mind).

    Ranjini is an engineer and a social media handler of CK. They both never interacted until CK fell for her at first sight and asked her to marry. He asked, she said Yes! and they both get hitched for life. Wait! Wait! The story does not end here; the story begins from here. Their chemistry and attraction are the basis of their marriage. Is it enough to stay together for life?

    “Scorpio Superstar” has everything readers would look into a romance novel- love, drama, conspiracy, and a tinge of humor.

    Sundari mam’s writing is as irresistible and straightforward as the chemistry scenes between characters she describes with beautiful plot-driven dialogues.  

    I love how the author blends Zodiac signs' traits in the story. I love the realistic storyline and excellent character development. CK will melt the readers’ hearts with his loyal and loving persona. Like every book of the Sundari Mam, the female protagonist is strong, independent, confident, and stands for her values.

    The author always adds elements and incidents that reflect social norms' conflicts. For instance: Sidelining of Women’s career, complaints about the girls' dusky complexion, etc.

    Overall, this is a fast-paced book with the perfect balance of romance, drama, and entertainment. I am eagerly waiting to read the next installment of the series. It is highly recommended to the readers who enjoy reading relaxing and satisfying romance.

    When a Scorpion meets a Piscean, sparks are sure to fly!
    What I liked about the book: There's a lot of research that has gone into various aspects of the writing which gives it quite a lot of depth. The moments between the superstar Chandrakant and his lady love Ragini are adorable. It is good to see the female protagonist have a mind of her own and not being sub-serviant to a super famous movie star. She is neither fazed by his extensive wealth, nor his fan following, and knows how to knock sense into people who are out to ruin her peace. On the other hand, his loyalty to her is endearing too. True to his nature, he expects that she trust him for who he is. So does she trust him? Does their love win against the odds? That is for you to find out when you read the Scorpio Superstar!
    What could have been better: The end had me wanting more because there were plenty of unresolved issues, leaving me with some unanswered questions. But perhaps such is life, we solve some issues, we learn to live with some and I'm sure that's how the author meant it to be.
    Having read Sundari's other novels, I cannot say this is her best, in terms of ending the story, and is perhaps too tightly woven for comfort. But it is surely a cozy read on a cold winter's night!

    Scorpio Superstar by Sundari Venkatraman is the first book in the Written in the Stars series. I have read quite a lot of Sundari's work in the past year and have started to like them too. The Malhotra bride series would be one of my favorites of hers. After reading one of the books in the Stars series, I was quite intrigued with the idea on which the series is based so I had to pick up another book.

    The story revolves around our two main protagonists Kollywood Superstar Chandrakant and Ranjini, a website and social media consultant. It's love at first sight for CK when they meet for the first time. The instant love and marriage trope coupled with their star sign and their personality. Will the love concur all or Is there a twist in this fairytale love story?

    Now coming to the characters I would be lying if I say I didn't like the characters. Their chemistry was the only good thing about the book for me. The way he cared for her was so enthralling to read. Likewise, even though she has a crush on the superstar like so many others even before she met him, she remained true to herself in his presence too. Their chemistry and passion whenever both were together were written well.

    I love a good romance story and when coupled with love at first sight and fast forward to marriage, it's simply irresistible when written well. That's where the story when downhill for me. There wasn't any character development and build-up to them falling hard for each other. Even the plot of his past life confronting the present felt dragging and sub-par written. There were so many unanswered questions in the end about his past, their relationship, and family stuff too. I did finish it in one go but there wasn't much to the story. Love the characters, didn't enjoy the story.
