Publisher's summary

You can't rise from the ashes if you've never been burned.

When notorious mafia boss Danny Black and lethal assassin James Kelly join forces to hunt down an elusive mutual nemesis who threatens to destroy them both and take control of their city, they know they will be entering a deadly game. A game they must win if they are ever going to live in peace with the women they love away from crime, corruption, and death.

But peace is an illusion, love is a daily torment, and death will always follow them.

As power starts to slip from their grasp, enemies reemerge, and old personal demons return to haunt them both, they finally accept they can never leave their world if they want to stay alive. So they need to protect it at all costs. No matter the consequences. No matter the losses. No matter the pain. They must make choices no men should make. Kill more ruthlessly, love more fiercely, and hate with more rage than ever before.

They're capable. Ready.

But nothing prepares them for the secrets they uncover and the betrayals they face. Or the personal sacrifices they must make to rise again.

Two men.

One goal.

No mercy.

This is The Rising.

Gripping!

This installment of the series was a roller coaster with Danny and James being the most interesting and well defined characters. Beau a close second and Brad hinting of ex coin future installments. The story had twists and turns which were not expected and John Hartley and Shane East perfectly portraying the protagonists. 5 enthusiastic stars. I look forward to continuing the series.
**I went back and re-read from the beginning (The Brit) and was glad I did. I would have been a bit lost if I hadn’t since it was a few years since I read initially.

Amazing

Wow! What a wild ride. This book picks up right where we left off in book 3 (The Resurrection). And these 4 just can't catch a break. So good. The twist definitely didn't see that coming. Great narrators.

Another Thrill Ride!

My nerves can't handle another book! I had many theories on who the villain was, but definitely didn't see it coming. Every time you feel calm, then something happens to put you on pins and needles again. Really great series! Patiently awaiting the next book; my nerves need a break.

AMAZING!!!

The overall story was amazing!!! But Rose and Beau got on my FREAKING NERVES!!! I’m all for the heroine, but they just needed to sit TF down!!! They make me sick with their back and forth insecurities and double standards!!! If they want to be soooo strong, they need to stop falling back into their trauma and pull their sh*t together!! And this is no dig at trauma….it’s real!! I know that all too well, but geeesh!! Give these men a break and let them love you!!! I may have more to write later because I still have 6 hours to go, but I had to get this off my chest after Chapter 24 ended!!!
