About ELI’S TRIUMPH:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joanna Wylde comes a new story in her Reapers MC series…
Peaches Taylor spent the last seven years slinging drinks and dodging drunks at the Starkwood Saloon. Some might call it a dead end job, but to her it was an investment—another six months, and she’d have enough money to buy the place.
Life would've been perfect if Eli hadn’t come home.
Eli King is ready to settle down. He stood by his brothers when they needed him, paying the price for their freedom with his own. Now it’s time to claim his reward—the Starkwood Saloon. He’s got the cash to buy the bar, the skills to run it, and just one person standing between him and his dream: Peaches Taylor.
She’s been driving him crazy since they were kids, and not in the good way. When she was six, she shoved a spider down his pants. When he was ten, he locked her in a closet overnight. Then she hot-wired his car at seventeen, and things got ugly…
They’re adults now, and the Starkwood isn’t a toy to fight over—it’s the hill they’ll die on. No prisoners. No compromises. No mercy.
Peaches Taylor and Eli King are going to war.
**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:
“Kinda desperate, coming here on
your night off,” Eli said as I walked up to the bar. “Usually, girls just text
me when they want a booty call.” His lips quirked up in a smirk.
“Go to hell,” I replied absently.
Where was Gus? The place was mostly empty, just a few of the Reapers hanging
out in one of the corner booths. Megan was wiping down tables, and Eli was the
only one behind the bar. I frowned, boosting myself up onto one of the bar stools.
“Oh, and can I have a rum and Coke?”
Eli leaned forward on his elbows. “Too
late. I already did last call for the night.”
“It’s hardly past eleven,” I said,
surprised.
“Slow night.” He shrugged. “Decided
to close early.”
“I’ve been trying to convince Gus that
we should close earlier when it’s like this for the last three years.”
Eli’s mouth quirked up, radiating
smugness.
“Gus isn’t in charge anymore.”
My stomach dropped. “Does that mean
you signed the papers today? I thought they weren’t ready yet.”
Eli raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t
give me a direct answer. Instead, he grabbed a couple of shot glasses and set
them out between us. Then he grabbed a bottle of Crown Royal from the shelf
behind the bar.
“Eli, did you sign the papers?” I
asked again, feeling nervous. He filled the shot glasses. This was starting to
look like a celebration, which didn’t make sense.
They weren’t supposed to finalize
things until next week.
“Got them today,” he said, and I
heard the triumph in his voice. That fucking bastard… It wasn’t enough for him
to take the bar from me. Nope. Now, he wanted me to celebrate with him.
This was about him winning. Again. “Already looked everything over. We’ll sign
them tomorrow morning at the title company. Grab your drink, Peaches. It’s time
for us to make a new start.”
Eli caught my eye, raising his
glass in a toast.
I briefly considered throwing the
shot in his face because I’d be damned if I would concede defeat. If the papers
hadn’t been signed yet, I still had a chance to make my offer. Eli didn’t need
to know that, though. So, I gave him a strained smile and forced myself to give
his glass a token tap. Together, we downed the shots.
He reached for the bottle and
started pouring again.
“Are you trying to get me drunk?” I
asked, wondering if he had a deeper game. “Because I stole bottles of this shit
all the time in high school. It’ll take more than two shots.”
“Not true,” he said. “You always
went for the crappy vodka. Easier to water down. Cover the crime.”
He had me. I’d totally done that.

Wrapped Up In Reading – Review & Excerpt
I am a big fan of Joanna Wylde and her Reaper MC series. This is book 6.7 in the series which is one of my favourite MC series of all time. As with all the previous books in this series, Eli’s Triumph was gritty, realistic and extremely well written.
This is Eli King and Peaches Taylor’s, enemies to lovers story. Every time I read a Reaper MC book, I fall more in love with Ms.Wylde’s books. Her characters are always strong, the women feisty and the men so darn Alpha it almost hurts. They love hard, play hard and there is just something about these men and their women that ticks all the boxes for me.
Eli has given up so much for the Reapers MC and now he is back and ready to settle down, ready to take ownership of the bar Gus has promised him, the only thing standing in his way is his childhood nemesis Preaches, who also happens to want the Starkwood Saloon.
There was plenty of tension and drama, hot and heavy scenes and so much build up that I was totally engrossed from the start. This is one heck of a roller coaster read to be honest and I found myself both happy and sad on occasion.
Eli’s Triumph takes us through a quick ride through the world of the Reapers MC. I am a big fan of Joanna Wylde and her Reapers series so when a new book is released I am all in! She brings us the good the bad and the ugly of the MC world combined with strong, sassy women and panty dropping, hot alpha men!
Eli and Peaches have always had a love/hate type of relationship with more hate than love at times. Neither has had things easy but they have always stayed connected. Now, if they can put their differences aside and give into their desires they have a chance at what they both have always wanted! 
I love this series and I was so excited to be back with men and woman of the Reapers MC and Eli’s Triumph was everything I expected and more. In this quick read we get everything we want to know about Eli and Peaches, a couple with a love/hate relationship and nine times out of ten it’s more hate than love......
Peaches has spent most of her life with the Reapers and for the last few years she has worked at the Starkwood Saloon with the intent of one day making it’s hers well that was before Eli King came back into the fold. Peaches sees Eli as the man who has stolen everything important to her but this time she is not prepared to give up without a fight.....
This may be a quick read but it still packs a mighty punch, sizzling chemistry, a enemies to lovers romance as well as catching up with the Reapers gang all in all a great read !!!!

EXCERPT:
“Eli?” she asked, sounding confused. “Why are we talking about Eli?”
“He’s been watching me.”
“Um, I think he’s just drinking a beer,”Megan said. “Maybe checking out your boobs a little, but that’s nothing new.”
Hmm… It couldn’t possibly be that simple, but it did give me an idea. Maybe it was time to create a diversion. I shifted my shoulders, expanding my chest.
Disappointingly, his eyes stayed on mine.
“Someday I’m gonna own this bar, and firing his ass is the first thing I’ll do.”
Megan giggled. “That sounded sort of super-villain-ish. Do you have a lair? I wish I had a lair…”
I blinked, caught off guard. I hadn’t realized that I’d said the words out loud. Eli smirked at me, gloating because he’d just won our little pissing contest. Dammit!
“I can’t believe I wrote to him in prison,” I told her, turning my back on the bikers. “Never should’ve been nice to him. He probably thinks that, deep down inside, we’re friends or something. We’re never going to be friends.”
“Didn’t he give you a ride home after work last night?” she asked, her voice light.
“Gus made him,” I snapped.
“And did Gus make him hug you the other day?”
“He caught me and gave me a noogie. And it hurt, too. It’s not a hug if it leaves bruises.”
“He left bruises?”Megan asked, startled. Shit. I might be able to justify a rumor about him not being able to get it up, but telling her that he’d hurt me for real…yeah, that probably crossed a line.
“No,” I admitted. “That was an exaggeration. But he’s still pure evil, so don’t fall for his shit. Or sleep with him. Every time a waitress sleeps with him, she ends up quitting without notice. Then I have to cover their shifts.”
Megan nodded, looking a little uncomfortable. “Okay, then… Um, I think I’ll go check the bathrooms. Make sure there’s no ugly surprises before things start getting busy.”
“Great idea,” I told her, and she scuttled off. Then I reached for a washcloth because I had lemon juice to clean up. Then I’d have to go back over there and check on them. See if they wanted more… Eli would, I could already tell. Not because he was big on drinking, though.
He just wouldn’t be able to resist an opportunity to order me around.
