Dice's Luck

by Zoey Rose

Dice
They say never bet on a sure thing. There's no thrill in it.
But when Maddie Brooks walks into my life, I know some gambles are worth taking.
My brother's best friend. A walking contradiction wrapped in leather and danger.
The club says she'll bring nothing but trouble. They're right.
I'm Lucas "Dice" Thompson, and I've always lived by one act first, think later.
But when she asks for my help on a heist that almost gets us killed, I should walk away. Instead, I pull her closer.
With enemies circling and my brother's release date approaching, the smart play would be to fold.
But I've never been accused of being smart.
And as Maddie's walls come down brick by brick, I realize some hands are worth playing all the way to the end—brother's best friend or not.


Dice's Luck is a short, sweet, and steamy small-town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Outlaw Order MC series.

Maddie and Dice

DICE'S LUCK is Book 8 of The Outlaw Order MC series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, found family, curvy girl gets her biker romance. Maddie is a curvy spitfire in town for the release of her bestie, James, from prison. She also has some other secrets. Lucas "DICE" is a crazy, charming, impulsive, hunky prospect for the Outlaw Order MC. He is also James' younger brother. When Maddie walks into the MC clubhouse for the first time, Dice is drawn to her. These two were so fun together. Both were a bit crazy but also loyal. Their chemistry was pure fire and the ending was so happy after some drama. I can't wait for James' story next!

Dice and Maddie

Maddie arrives at the clubhouse waiting for her partner in crime and best friend to be let out of prison. She has no idea who the prospect is but it turns out to be James’ brother Dice. Once she ropes him into doing a job with her, they both find they are in deeper than ever expected and only the club can help them.

This book was action packed and full of steam. It was an MC book that showed how much the club/family is there to support them when needed.

Dice’s Luck is the kind of romance that grabs you by the collar and dares you to look away. Fast, gritty, and charged with danger, this story proves that sometimes the worst decision is also the one that changes everything.

Lucas “Dice” Thompson lives his life the way he rides—full throttle, no hesitation. So when Maddie Brooks walks into the clubhouse, all leather, secrets, and sharp edges, he knows she’s trouble. His brother’s best friend. Off-limits. A bad bet. And yet, from the very first moment, Dice is all in. There’s something about Maddie that calls to him, something that makes him want to protect her even when his instincts are screaming at him to walk away.

Maddie isn’t looking for a hero—she’s looking for survival. When she pulls Dice into a job that spirals dangerously out of control, the fallout is explosive. Kidnapping threats, MC intervention, and forced proximity turn simmering tension into something impossible to ignore. Watching their walls crumble while the stakes rise is equal parts intense and addictive.

What really makes this story shine is the balance of action and emotion. Dice doesn’t hesitate when Maddie is in danger—he steps up, owns his mistakes, and brings the full weight of the MC down to keep her safe. Maddie, in turn, finds something she’s never truly had before: someone who chooses her, fights for her, and offers her a place to belong.

Packed with steamy moments, high-risk decisions, and heart-pounding drama, Dice’s Luck is a thrilling MC romance about taking chances, facing consequences, and discovering that love—real love—is the safest place to land. If you enjoy dangerous men with loyal hearts and women who finally find home in the unlikeliest place, this one is absolutely worth the gamble.

Finally Finding Home -
Maddie arrived at the clubhouse to wait for her best friend and met Dice, who she discovered was her best friend’s brother. From the moment Dice laid eyes on Maddie, he felt an inexplicable connection that made him want to help her. When Maddie manipulated Dice into helping her complete a job, she never expected her decision would prove to be the right one, as he stepped in to save her from being kidnapped. Dice was weary when he arrived at the location, but he never expected his willingness to help Maddie would end up getting him into trouble.

Dice immediately informed the MC club of what happened, so they could get the help needed, which led to a tense exchange that ended with him and Maddie confined together for their safety. The tension that had been building between Dice and Maddie led to one heck of an explosive encounter whilst they were in protective custody, but their blissful moments are interrupted when they have to deal with the consequences of the problem they created.

Luckily, the MC club helped Dice and Maddie deal with problem effectively, so they could have a chance at having a wonderful future together. This was an intriguing romance story with exciting characters, action-packed and steamy encounters, and enough drama-filled moments to keep you totally engrossed all the way through the story. I highly recommend this amazingly entertaining book to curl up with and enjoy for your next relaxation session.

Dice was surprised to have Maddie show up at the clubhouse where he is prospecting his MC. Maddie has come back to see her buddy James come out of Jail and do another job that is supposed to be an in and out. There is something about James younger brother Dice that catches her attention. Dice gets her out of a tight situation and now she finds herself having to trust a group of men she doesn't really know for a situation she never saw coming. I loved every moment of this book I was totally hooked from the very beginning. This series has been an amazing read. You won't regret delving into this author. She does amazing short reads that are spicy and keep you smiling.

“Dice’s Luck” by Ember Knox

-A fast, gritty MC instalove romance packed with danger, steam, and heart. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Dice and Maddie’s connection is instant, intense, and tested by high-stakes choices and real threats. Action, forced proximity, and emotional growth blend seamlessly into a satisfying happy ending.

It was great addition to the beautiful series- Outlaw Order MC. Maddie and Dice’s love story was fast paced and intense. Life changing, especially for Maddie, who used not relying on others. And her controlling nature had a dilemma to choose Dice.
Beautiful short read, action packed and intense. Loved it.

Really enjoyed this series although because of how short each book is I can’t give it any higher than 3 stars as there is so much that happens off page. This is a nice light read for anyone needing to get out of a slump. It has a little action and little spice and you can easily read in one sitting.

Loner

She’s used to being alone, trusting no one. Her best friend is getting out of prison and she wants to be there. Hie brother is a distraction. Alpha men, danger, over the top chemistry and a happy ending with chocolate!

Thievery Gets You Everything

Dive and Maddie’s story is a sweet love story that has its moments of adversity. Their chiding risk over the easy way and standing their ground when running would have been easier, makes this a contemporary story worth reading. 4✨’s

[Susie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nope.

I have liked all of the characters from the series but I couldn’t make myself like Maddie. I kept hoping she would redeem herself but it just never happened. She put herself in danger then pulled Dice into it on purpose. It was a crappy thing to do.

Back on track with this series and Dice turned out to be a great character and met his match in maddie. Strong willed and independent. Good read and reaper at his best.

[Michelle Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

He knew about her because she was his brothers best friend, but in person wow. When she needed help she knew he would be right there to help, however nothing went as expected. Now here they both are with trouble at their doorstep. I would love to read more about this MC. A book about his brother would be a good read.
