From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Chaos series…

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.**

About the Author

Kristen Ashley is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She grew up in Indiana, but has lived in Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she’s been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least), but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, living in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

No thank you

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018

I was so excited to see that Rosalie (Shy's ex) was getting a book and a HEA. And because Rock Chick Daisy's 1001 Dark Nights novella was a good solid story, I was looking forward to this one. But there is no story here. It starts in the middle and we get a stop start KA ramble and back and forth insecure heroine headspace and sex. And it went nowhere. First and foremost, the entire premise is baloney...I really do not and cannot believe that Rosalie, a biker's daughter and girlfriend to two bikers thought that ratting out her man and his club was going to convince her man to "go straight." Come on. Then Rosalie being "in love" with three men back to back..that's not love. And all of it Daddy based. How old is she? Moving on. I loved Snapper, I really did. And after I was told how he and Rosie initially got close I was very disappointed that I didn't get to see it, because that's where this story's oomph was. This book was post action IMO. Yes, we get to see the Chaos old ladies, the KA house decorating, the food, see some of the Chaos dudes and their women, but in the end so what when there was NO STORY here. This was a glorified short the author could've kept on her website as a freebie. And then the epilogue? What the heck was that...written so obtusely to set up a 'suspenseful" and "mysterious" doom and gloom for the next book where for some reason, all hell will break loose (<< which I did not understand, btw!) And it kept going on and on and was pretty incomprehensible. And so very contrived which astounded me coming from this author. And yes, yet again, one more time we hear about the evil Valenzuela villain...how many times are we going to hear about this baaaad guy and the cloud of evil hanging over Chaos and the Colorado gang? I was over it three books ago. And still...his name gets dropped here and there and heavy sigh..so what. Just dumb. Reading this book was a tedious experience and I'm sorry I purchased it. And yes, it pains me to say that, as KA has been a fave since I first started reading ebooks.

Could not finish!!!

Maybe I'm just getting tired of Kristen's writing style but I could not finish this book. Tried so hard to like it but I can no longer deal with the run on sentences the slang or the fragmented sentences. Time to find a new author!

I was excited waiting for this next Chaos episode, but really disappointed. It was very short compared to most of her books. Also, the ending was a complete puzzle as though many pages were missing. I don't know what happened. Ms Ashley is a gifted writer. This is totally unlike her usually thorough character driven stories.

Cliffhanger not cool

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I think I may be done with the whole novella concept. I liked Rosalie and Snapper. I am ok with the Chaos lineup overall. The arc of this story is just too short. I'm also beginning to take issue with the never-ending pressure put on the female leads to jump feet first into relationships. When the female lead makes the decision on her own to leap into a relationship, I'm onboard. But the pressure from any and all characters just doesn't sit well, even though this is a fantasy. There's still a balance that needs to be kept, and I didn't feel it here. Rosalie seems a fairly level headed woman, yet she's told repeatedly that she's not making the right call. I want to read about female characters who are swept away, but are whole first, on their own. Women who know who they are.

One if the reasons I like KA so much is that her female characters are often older, in their 30s or sometimes their 40s. (Please write some days about women in their 50s. Would kill to read about Millie and Big Petey. Yes, we still have smokin hot sex in our 50s and 60s, promise.) While her female characters are often dealing with love history or bad choices, they usually know themselves and their issues. I love that. It's why I read KA books. This one made a bit of a mockery of that trope. Rosalie isn't allowed to work through her issues. She's literally hammered to move on as if nothing much happened. I take issue there. I'm not sure if the novella format was the driver of that fast action or not. To me, there wasn't enough runway here.

And last, that cliffhanger. Just no. Chapped my bobo but good. If I'd seen that I. O e review, I wouldn't have bought this. Like many, I preordered. Will definitely not make that mistake again. I get pimped enough in real life. Sorry KA, but this wasn't a favorite.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

Disappointing. I was glad to see Rosalie get her story after Shy's callous treatment of her in an earlier book, but the plot is one frequently used by Ms. Ashley: girl is hurt because of association w/Chaos; she tries to break away from them; Tack/Tyra/other Chaos members bully/guilt her into accepting the club's help; she caves; Chaos' H grovels and wins her over; HEA. (In this case, it's a cliffhanger, tying in with the 1001 Nights' theme.) Just once, I'd like to see the heroine stick to her well-justified guns a little longer rather than being steamrolled by Chaos into doing what they deem is best for her. It is so frustrating to watch a heroine whose backbone starts out strong as steel turn into a banana peel. I had to force myself to finish reading the story.

Would have been better as a novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wish this had been written as a full novel as it needed a little more unpacking. I wish that Kristen Ashley had expanded on the fact that Rosalie wanted nothing to do with Chaos for longer as that would have bee interesting to read about as she tries to resist Snapper. Considering all the other couples get together quite quickly this would have been a different take. Her recovery from an assault was a little quick and it would have been more impactful to see her try to overcome that in more detail. It's a shame as it would have been a really good novel with more time to unpack the main themes.
Unfortunately it also has a lot of continuity errors with other novels, particularly Walk Through Fire. In this Snapper said he fell for Rosalie when she was with Shy but in that it was stated that Snapper wasn’t around when Rosalie was with Shy and when he first saw her with her current boyfriend Beck, he didn’t know who she was so took a picture and had to ask Roscoe. It was also Snapper’s idea to have Rosie be a mole, which if he already loved her at this point he wouldn’t put her at risk.
Also in ‘Walk Through Fire’ they state it’s ok for Rosalie to go undercover into a rival biker club because she was never really Chaos but in this book they are all once your in, you’re always Chaos and we look after our own to the point they give her a house. It’s all just a little contradictory.

Book 5 Rough Ride in Chaos series by fabulous Kristen Ashley.
This story is about Snapper and Rosalie.
Snapper is a full member of Chaos MC club, he’s not much in the previous book and you don’t know much about. This book goes into a lot of background stuff with each character which I loved. I really liked that Snapper didn’t have a bad childhood, bullied or abused but he’s tough enough to be a KA badass.
Rosalie we already met in Shy/Tabby as Shy’s girlfriend so we know a lot about her but as soon as Tabby became available Shy took it.
Rosalie is a lovely character that goes through a horrible time with her ex Throttle and the Bounty MC gang.
I know this book didn’t get great reviews but I really enjoyed the slower pace and that this was all about Snapper and Rosalie relationship and how it builds through book.
Absolutely love this author especially the Chaos series can’t wait for Hound’s story.

5 Amazing Stars from Ms Ashley!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

I can never fault a book from Kristen Ashley, and a Chaos story is just the best of the best when it involves Tack and the boys. Sadly this story was a novella and just too short, I kept putting it down hoping to make it last longer.
This was Snapper and Rosalie's story which was building at the end of High's book. Rosalie has been caught by Bounty MC informing to Chaos and retribution is swift and severe. Snap takes this time to claim her and bring her into the Chaos family which he has dreamed of for a long time.
Great as ever to be back among the gang; however it does leave us somewhat up in the air and so we must now wait until June when hopefully all will be revealed.

Love Chaos!

Poor old Rosalie is beaten black and blue when her ex finds out she has informed on his club. And Chaos ride to the rescue.

Snap has got it bad! But in a fab way

'Get used to that.
What?
A time in your life where you’ll spend a lot of it laughing.'

Now that's a man you want, plus it seems he is always right, especially with his choice of Indian food. A naan is never as good microwaved!!!

What the flamin heck was that ending?
How long do I need to wait for the next book?
And more importantly I need an Aloo Gobi!

Great novella

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Kristen writes such great books - long, detailed books - that you always feel you're there with the characters living their lives. This novella is the same, obviously shorter, it still seems like a long, good read. We've already met the main characters previously, Rosalie and Snap. All the other characters from previous Chaos books make an appearance and even Tex and some of the Rock Chicks appear in a bookshop scene.
However no big spoilers here. It's just worth reading especially if you enjoy vintage Kristen Ashley.
A well deserved five stars.
