From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Chaos series…
About ROUGH RIDE:
Rosalie Holloway put it all on the line for the Chaos Motorcycle Club.
Informing to Chaos on their rival club—her man’s club, Bounty—Rosalie knows the stakes. And she pays them when her man, who she was hoping to scare straight, finds out she’s betrayed him and he delivers her to his brothers to mete out their form of justice.
But really, Rosie has long been denying that, as she drifted away from her Bounty, she’s been falling in love with Everett “Snapper” Kavanagh, a Chaos brother. Snap is the biker-boy-next door with the snowy blue eyes, quiet confidence and sweet disposition who was supposed to keep her safe…and fell down on that job.
For Snapper, it’s always been Rosalie, from the first time he saw her at the Chaos Compound. He’s just been waiting for a clear shot. But he didn’t want to get it after his Rosie was left bleeding, beat down and broken by Bounty on a cement warehouse floor.
With Rosalie a casualty of an ongoing war, Snapper has to guide her to trust him, take a shot with him, build a them…
And fold his woman firmly in the family that is Chaos.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

*** EXCERPT ***
“We got it now. You’re good. Gonna take care of you.”
No they weren’t.
He wasn’t.
No one was going to take care of me.
But me.
Not anymore.
They were supposed to do that before.
And now I was on a cement floor, beat to hell.
But I was going to be.
Good that was.
Yes, I was going to be.
Finally.
And it was going to be me that made me that too.
I turned my face into Snap’s cut as an indication he
shouldn’t stroke my hair anymore, as a way to tell him to get the heck away
from me, to leave me to the ambulance, to leave me alone, to get out of my
hair, out of there, out of my life.
But the fabric snagged my swollen nose and a whimper slid
from me.
“Baby,” he whispered, feeling close, seemingly all around
me, “just hang tight. Don’t move. Help will be here soon.”
Help would be there soon.
I’d be in an ambulance.
Then I’d be in a hospital.
While there, I’d talk to the police.
Eventually, I’d go home and live in fear of what my
boyfriend’s motorcycle club would do to me after I pressed charges against them
for beating the crap out of me.
What could be worse than this?
I didn’t know.

I don't think anyone can write such addicting alphas as KA . With Rough Ride, I don't think Snapper disappoints at all. The only thing that surprised me was how Rosalie's man, ex-man, whatever you want to call him, could think he has the right to apologize after what he did. What he allowed to happen. After he literally watched it happen. To say he loved her after what he did. what he allowed. Nope, nuh-uh. Just no.
I can't be surprised that Snapper reacted the way he did when he found her. I feel like the way that KA writes her alphas, they are always so hard on the exterior, but for their women there is this softer side that comes out. When she was healing, knowing how their relationship had built during Walk Through Fire really helped with this book. it was like I had the history when High stepped in, I got it. I got where his head was at. I KNEW more. I FELT more. I was INVESTED more. Plus, hello, we get more Chaos. More of our boys, and their ladies. What's not to love about that.
However, I'm not gonna lie. I don't totally understand what's going on with Benito Venezuela. and I also don't like the ending, hello cliffy. but... the relationship and story between Snapper and Rosie, I loved.
Though KA , I will say, if you tear my boys apart, I'm gonna be pissed.
About Kristen Ashley:
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.
Nothing's changed.
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
