Passion Rising (Original Sin Book 4) Kindle Edition
Maddie's dealing with the fallout of her choices. Safety and happiness are relative, elusive things she's desperate to have. But they will forever remain out of reach until the demons of her past are laid to rest.
Tyler's mistakes resurface to haunt him and he's just beginning to understand that money can't fix a broken relationship. He must open his heart and search for answers he'd rather not find.
She wants peace in a world made of chaos.
He wants to rid himself of a lifetime of guilt.
They're soul mates, but that's no guarantee.
They'll need to rely on each other to find their happily ever after.
Because the fight never ends-it just gets easier with someone at your side.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018"Because the fight never ends-it just gets easier with someone at your side."
This quote is so fitting for Maddie and Tyler. Passion Rising was the perfect conclusion to this wild series! I have enjoyed every book in this series, and was anxious to read the finale. I must say out of all the many books that I have read, Maddie and Tyler is one of my top favorite couples, ever!
Maddie and Tyler both, have been through some pretty dramatic things in their lives. And like the saying goes, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. They both are trying to settle into a new routine, trying to grasp what their life means now. No longer taking things for granted, Tyler wants to completely change. He is searching for inner peace, hoping to heal old wounds and move forward with his life.
"Don't take this life too much for granted. It can be taken away when you're least expecting it."
Maddie's growth and change through this series was inspiring. She most certainly is a climber and a fighter. When she gets knocked down, she instantly gets back up, swinging. Her character was fierce, loyal, and loving. Tyler is truly her soulmate, they are perfect together. I would actually laugh out loud at some of their conversations together, they are so hilarious, especially Tyler (everyone says so).
This series was so entertaining, but on the serious side, it had a lot of life lessons layered in as well. I loved that Passion Rising concentrated on a more peaceful time for this couple. They certainly deserved it after all they have been put through. It is a new chapter for them, a new day is dawning, and it looks so promising.
"Life goes on no matter what. The world never stops turning. The sun keeps rising, the night always comes, and then the light takes it's place. Every twenty-four hours there's a new opportunity for a fresh start."
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018Okay, so reviewing the final book in a series is always harder. You can’t go into too much since you’ll definitely touch on spoilers for the prior books – and I know a lot will wait for a series to be completed to read – so I’m just going to try and focus on my feels. And hopefully, make sense
I went into the series with certain ideas. I have read JA Huss’s books for YEARS. And I think I sort of had this idea in the back of my mind that even with a writing partner, her trademark suspense and twistiness would be the dominant voice. As I read, I felt myself waiting for that a-ha moment and it was completely wrong of me. I had to press pause and shake it off. I pressed play and remembered that this is something new.
Was the writing fantastic? Yes. The characters were complex and had depth. They were easy to like and relate to. And Tyler’s quirks became almost adorable. Maddie’s growth was a pleasure to watch. She tried, failed, tried, and failed a bunch more and yet she still dusted herself off and tried again. They worked for their ending. They fought for it and in the end, they deserved it.
At a particular point in this story, I was torn. I wasn’t feeling it exactly – but what surprised me, was that even though I was having my doubts about it, it hit me emotionally. It was a beautiful moment that hit me right in the feels and caught me completely off-guard. Which I think is a testament to the ability of these two. Impact. It’s all about the impact. They led me there – they got me to a place where their words would be able to affect me. Because they ensured I was invested in the characters and their lives.
I look forward to their next project and I really think that after reading this series that I will be able to go into the next book with more of an open mind. To be able to shake off what turns I expect the story to take, to stop looking for the surprises in the shadows and just enjoy the ride.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021I was scrolling through Audible looking for a book that was included in the premium library to get lost in while I myself got lost in the mundane things of my everyday mom life. I usually err towards the side of “dark” or “taboo” in the romance genre, just because it’s hard to find anything with any actual suspense, depth, angst, or conflict that isn’t repetitive or contrite, in mainstream romance. So needless to say finding this series was like finding Buried Freaking Treasure!!
I don’t know that it would be classified as “Dark”, while there are certainly dark elements at play, but I just finished the “Original Sin” series by Johnathon McClain and JA Huss and I’m obsessed with it.
I sought out the first book in the series “Sin with Me” because Tad Branson is one of my favorite Narrators on Audible. He always brings so much emotion to his interpretations that I rarely ever come away without tears from a book that he narrates. When I reached the end of the Audible for Sin with Me, it was revealed that Tad Branson IS Johnathon McClain! What kind of Mindfuckery was this!?🤯 No wonder his performance was off the charts in bringing the Protagonist Tyler to life.
This series was emotionally charged. It was about existentialism, tragedy (a lot of it), suspense, a cacophony of emotional depth, self-healing and growth within two damaged people.....and of course, love. Also, the sex was off the charts!
Anyway, I adored this series and the absolute head cases the two main characters are. It’s so so much more than a romance, and is by all means not a light read. So if you are not prepared to be ripped open and put back together with a box of tissues handy, I dare say you should pass on this one.
However, if any of what I have described to you above tickles your fancy, then you will not be disappointed by this series. Also, do yourself a favor and listen to the Audible. It’s AMAZING!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tyler, is footloose and fancy free and Maddie (is) simply in over her head...
I would most certainly recommend this series. Initially I was leery of Tyler and his "thought process" but soon I caught on and I think he is one of the most enjoyable characters I have ever read. His internal dialog was witty and not incessantly repetitive of [what if's] as more often than not they usually are, it wasn't filler, it really played a part in this story. Maddie, is a survivor and adapts her life to her surroundings as needed.
There were other characters that I really liked and would've liked to get to know better Guilt, it can be debilitating without you even being aware of it. It can affect a person's physical, mental, emotional and social health factors and it's a feeling that can last a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing ending to the series ♥️
This series have been everything I needed, but didn’t know to ask for. The story captivated me from the first chapter, and the characters are unique as well as easy to recognise. Each of the main characters carry traits that feels like being reunited with old friends, whilst also being so different that it’s a joy to get to know them!

3.0 out of 5 stars I needed more
I am a tad disappointed in this last installment. The whole book felt more like a huge epilogue, and the action we got in the third book is now long gone.i needed more, unfortunately it didn't happen.
Tyler made me laugh, though, and I liked the family/tribe vibe of this opus.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic series
I have laughed so had, and enjoyed these books. Maddie and Tyler are too much, what a couple. I have not had so much fun with a series the love is real between them and the support for each other will hopefully last forever. Great writing
