From New York Times Bestselling author Joanna Wylde comes ROME’S CHANCE, a new novella in her Reapers MC series, brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights!
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joanna Wylde comes a new story in her Reapers MC series…
Rome McGuire knew he was in trouble the first time he saw her.
She was sweet and pretty and just about perfect in every way. She was also too young and innocent for the Reapers Motorcycle Club. He did the right thing, and walked away.
The second time, he couldn’t resist tasting her.
Gorgeous and smart, fun and full of wonder, she jumped on his bike and would’ve followed him anywhere. Still, she deserved a shot at happiness somewhere bigger and better than a town like Hallies Falls. Walking away wasn’t so easy that time, but her family needed her and he had a job to do.
When she came around a third time, he’d had enough. Randi Whittaker had been given two chances to escape, and now it was time for Rome to take his.
This time, the only way Randi would be leaving Hallies Falls was on the back of Rome’s bike.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
What I say: I'm a huge fangirl when it comes to Joanna Wylde's Reaper's MC books so am always impatient for the next instalment in the series. Rome's Chance is a novella created for the 1001 Dark Nights series. The action picks up years after we meet Gage, Tinker, Shade and Mandy in Reaper's Fire and Shade's Lady. This story is about Rome and Randi -who have both been mentioned/introduced briefly in previous stories.
Randi returns home to small town Hallies Falls for a quick visit, but finds a complicated family situation - her younger brother and sister really need her.
Oh Rome! Not only do I love his name but he really fulfils the bad ass biker alpha role to the extreme. Rome is demanding and oh-so-protective when it comes to Randi. What I particularly appreciated was how he doesn't play games but instead goes pedal to the metal and is all in with his pursuit of her.
Holy hot chemistry batman! Be prepared to blush and swoon whilst reading this novella because when Randi and Rome get together it's intense!
Randi is determined to fight her attraction to Rome, to focus on her siblings, but finds it increasingly more difficult to ignore him and their chemistry.
On a side note, I flipping loved Randi's siblings - they're super cute!
4 Stars in my Sky!
Excerpt:
I couldn’t figure out what’d happened.
One minute I’d been having one of the most exciting sexual experiences of my life. The next my ribs were being crushed as Rome slammed into me. Then I was on my feet, trying to catch my breath, as people shouted all around us. The music had stopped. Thankfully, Rome’s big body formed a barrier between me and the rest of the room, because everyone else in the place had lost their minds.
For an instant, I thought maybe I’d be safe behind him. Then some guy in a cowboy hat launched toward us, fists flying. I don’t know what I expected, maybe that Rome would start punching him—you know, like they always do in movies—but instead he ducked, then started dragging me toward the bar. More shouting. I saw a man lift a chair and slam it down against another guy’s back from behind. The poor bastard went down hard, so hard that his head literally bounced on the floor. He couldn’t even get his hands up in time to break the fall.
This definitely wasn’t a movie.
I needed to get the hell out of here. Now.
Rome didn’t need to drag me any more—adrenaline had set in and sexy times were forgotten. My instincts said to run, and I wasn’t going to argue. Running wasn’t really possible, though, what with people and bottles and tables flying all around us.
It felt like it took an hour just to get across the room, although it was probably just a few seconds. Nothing touched me. Every other step, he was pushing me to the side, standing over me, or slamming into someone to get them out of the way until we reached an opening at the far end of the bar. He shoved me down behind it, toward a group of women huddling under the safety of the ledge.
“Stay here and keep your head down!” he said, catching my eyes to make sure I heard him. “I’ll be back soon.”
With that, he left to wade back into the crowd.
