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.**

MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Peaches Taylor and Eli King have been growing up in a hate/love relationship since she was 7 years old. She tortured him when he moved in with her mom and her mom's boyfriend. Gus was Eli's Uncle and had nowhere else to go. We move onto them being about 30 years old and that relationship is still there only you know they really want each other and the sparks between them are hot.
Peaches has been pretty much running Gus's bar for 7 years and has been saving money to buy the bar from Gus. It all would have worked out if Eli hadn't come back into their lives. Eli spent a few years in prison and is now to be back and buy the bar as promised. So now Peaches is furious and you get to see her anger and not letting people get in her way. They are going to war to see who will end up with the bar.
I would like to read the rest of this series to get to know the characters and town better.
I received this from Inkslinger for review.

Excerpt:
I’d
earned this bar, paid for it with five long years in prison, holding my tongue
and taking the punishment for a crime that wasn’t mine. Gus owed me for that
alone. The fact that he’d get a cash payout was just a bonus at this point.
No
reason for me to feel guilty. And that was the truth.
Still,
I could see how much this sucked for Peaches. She’d put in time, too. Time and
good faith. Riling her up was a blast, but I’d never wanted her hurt. Not for
real. I cared about the girl. Cared about her a lot.
Too
much.
Gus
had been weak. I loved my uncle, but he’d f*cked this one up big time. She
deserved better from him—and from me. I should be in there with them. Decision
made, I reached for the door.
“Get
out! Get the f*ck out of here, you lying bastard!”
The
door burst open, and Gus stumbled out, walking backward. I caught his arm and
steadied him as the slab slammed shut again. I heard the heavy bolt sliding
shut, locking us out. My uncle looked at me, then sighed.
“Actually
went better than I expected.”
“Glad
I don’t have to deal with hiding a body.”
“Not
yet,” he replied, then sighed again. “She’s not a happy camper. Probably should’ve
warned her that our plans might change once you got out.”
“Why
didn’t you? Would’ve been a lot easier on her.”
“Guess
I didn’t want her turning on me,”my uncle admitted, surprising me with his
honesty. “I knew she’d hate me for it. God, but I miss her mom. Saw her in town
a couple weeks ago. It’s been twenty years, and Glory still won’t even look at
me.”
Raw
pain filled his eyes. I cleared my throat, uncomfortable. F*ck. I didn’t like
this. Didn’t like my girl hurting, and didn’t like having to see my uncle like
this.
Didn’t
like knowing I was part of it.
A
loud thump came from behind the door, breaking the moment. There was a crash,
and then some kind of tearing noise. Shit.
Some
women pouted when they got upset.
Others
cried.
Peaches
had always skipped that part, moving straight to revenge. Another crash. This
one so hard that the door rattled. I pictured her all pissed off in there,
those glorious t*ts of hers straining against the front of her low-cut black
Starkwood Saloon shirt. My c*ck twitched. Christ, she was hot when she got
angry.
Her
cheeks would be flushed, and she’d run her fingers through that wild, dark hair
of hers in frustration.
Total
sex hair.
