The Resurrection (Unlawful Men Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2,555 ratings

From the moment Danny Black met Rose Cassidy, he knew she’d be the death of him. But their electric connection and twisted love gave him a purpose beyond ruling Miami with his iron fist. Faking his own death and disappearing to St. Lucia was the only way he could escape the deadly underworld that brought them together. But his seclusion was sabotaged when a notorious assassin lured him out and made him an offer he couldn’t ignore.

So Danny was forced to decide whether to remain concealed and pray his enemies didn’t find him, or re-emerge and take back control of his town. His future.

James Kelly’s sole purpose was to find and kill the man who ordered the death of his family. Peace would never be his until then. Beau Hayley, a scarred former cop, was the key to his mission. He was supposed to kill her. Instead, he fell in love with her. Forced to accept that he could no longer fight his war and keep Beau safe from their enemies, he sought out the only man who could help him.

But by resurrecting the infamous Brit, James unwittingly started an even bigger war.

Two lethal men. One shared goal.

Keep their women safe.

And survive.

But only one of them can come out the other side alive.

Note to reader: This series is gritty, dark, edgy, and contains scenes that some people may find uncomfortable to read. It is NOT for the fainthearted.

5 out of 5 stars
Amazing!
It took me a while to read this book, but I’m glad. I was able to savor it since the next one doesn’t come out until 2023! You must read these books in order, The Brit, The Enigma and The Resurrection. ‼️ SPOILERS ‼️ The Brit and The Enigma return in The Resurrection to take down The Bear who is angry and taking his turf back in Miami. Danny and Rose, James and Beau are at the mansion in Miami while the guys are tracking him down. Beau is fighting her cop instincts and habits, while Rose is fighting Danny. She does not want to be back in Miami. This book starts out HOT, continues with danger, mystery and HEAT. The finale is action packed and had me on the edge of my seat! I loved it! However, all is calm and finished…..until it isn’t! There’s more coming from this group in 2023!!!!!

    Phew. What a WILD ride! Malpas clearly left plenty of breadcrumbs in the first two books, because this masterfully sews two different love stories together and advances the suspenseful element in a big way. Full disclosure: I struggled with this story for at least 100 pages at the beginning. It felt like all of the progress these couples made in their respective books was just GONE, and everything felt pretty bleak and desolate. Which... yeah, was an intentional choice for the story. But it certainly wasn't what I wanted. I'm really not a trilogy kinda girl, and - since there was no mention of this being an ongoing series when I started reading - I'm going into this one kicking and screaming. Because that's really what this is; it's ESSENTIAL that you read The Brit and The Enigma prior to starting The Resurrection... and the series ain't over yet.

    I'm going to try to avoid offering spoilers, but I suggest skipping this review and jumping right into the book if you want to go in completely blind. This story picks up right where The Enigma left off, with both of our couples dealing with the fallout of recent events. James and Beau thought they had found happiness, only to have it torn away. And Danny is forced to upend his life in paradise to get back in the game. No one is happy about the situation, and it threatens to tear both couples apart - especially because Danny is breaking Rose's trust by coming back from the dead. Forced to team up, these two brutal killers discover that they've met their match in each other... and that could either be their biggest advantage or the thing that finally takes one of these powerful men down.

    If you made it through The Brit and The Enigma, then neither the violence nor the steam will surprise you. There is plenty of both, with a SIGNIFICANT focus on the suspense. With two established couples at the start of the book, this wastes no time heating up in a variety of ways. It's INTENSE and violent, with complex characters and developed relationships that are full of intimacy. I loved how this tied everything together and then had its own vibe, which kept me on the edge of my seat in the back half. What I struggled with the most was how these characters buckled under the pressure, showing the worst sides of themselves in ways that I thought we'd moved past. It's not always enjoyable reading, but it IS excellent writing from Malpas, and I started fully connecting once things took a turn. It was the back half that shined for me - once these couples work out their differences, I loved how they became stronger together. And the suspenseful element? Had my full attention by the end. Yes, this ends on another CLIFFHANGER, and I would love it if another couple were at the center of the next book (maybe Brad and a mystery woman?), but there's definitely more story to tell. All in all, this ended up being another fantastic addition to a stellar series, and it certainly won me over along the way.

    The suspenseful and intense adventures of The Brit and The Enigma continue in this 3rd installment of Unlawful Men Series by Jodi Ellen Malpas

    In The Ressurection, we get our two favorite anti-heroes Danny Black (the Angel-Faced Assassin) and James Kelly (the Enigma)
    whom are possessive and protective of their women and family! Along side them we have 2 strong, fierce and kick a** females Rose Cassidy and Beau Hayley!
    They all join forces to find a common enemy "The Bear".

    The Resurrection doesn't disappoint, as all books in this series... it is well written, lots of description in scenes which I love, and such a page turner!
    It is a dark story, with violent themes, steamy times, a million stars for originality, and with some crazy twists that are so unpredictable that you'll be say WTF.
    -Two lethal men. One shared goal.
    -Keep their women safe.
    -And survive.

    Danny
    “I won’t hold back, Rose. With the exception of my wife and her boy, there is nothing in this world that I’ll guard more violently. Nothing I’ll kill harder for. Nothing that could turn me psycho quicker than the risk of it being hurt. You’re carrying my flesh and blood. You’re bringing more hope into my world. I don’t want to hate, baby. I want to love and be loved. Treasure and be treasured. I want life, I want you, I want Daniel, and I want our baby.”

    James
    “With everything I have, Beau, I f*$*$ing love you.” He forces my face to his, and I crumble on the inside at the sight of his anguish. “Broken, fixed, happy, sad, I love you. If you do anything, just remember that.”

    On to Book 4 The Rising ....

    Two couples that are a strange mix. The men are criminals that commit murder at the drop of a hat. There is conflict between The Enigma and the Bear. The Brit has returned because he was ratted out. The two men have female companions with problems to add to the stories. The series has numerous twists and turns with book three being more on the comical side. Slightly repetitive but skimmed certain parts and still enjoyed the books. Interesting take of corruption, love and honor. The bad guys literally get away with murder and much more.

    Have snacks ready. Laundry done. Kids occupied. Grab some wine and get ready for a story you will not be able to stop reading. I set aside a Sunday. I couldn’t put this book down. I held my breath at times. I was upset. I laughed. I truly didn’t want the story to end. Storytelling at its best Jodi!

    Danny Black is returning from the dead and to Miami to reclaim his position of power. But this time he has a huge distraction. Rose. The woman who captured his heart (read The Brit). She is NOT happy about coming back into this murderous lifestyle.

    And now, Danny, The Brit, has a strained alliance with James Kelly, The Enigma (book 2). James is bent on revenge. For himself. And for his love, Beau Hailey. And he needs Danny’s help. And Beau is a former cop so she’s still curious and wary of everything. Sound intriguing? Is it ever! I can’t decide WHO I was more fascinated with? The Brit… or The Enigma. There are plenty of hot sex scenes. These women and the men they love don’t always play nice so be prepared. Dark and hot! And. Jodi is a master in developing secondary characters. This story is no exception. From Danny’s mom; to his deadly cousin, Brad; to the “twin” body guards Tank and Fury; to James’ trusted people Golde and Otto - they are all priceless and written to perfection.

    This story throws twists and turns galore. I thought I knew…..I didn’t. And the ending is perfection - Jodi style. Highly recommend you read books 1 and 2 first for the backstories of Danny Black, Rose Cassidy, James Kelly and Beau Hailey before you read this one that takes all 4 on a dangerous adventure of love, lust, sex, revenge, and murder. Danny and James will do ANYTHING to protect their women. ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.

    Definitely a top five star book!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2022
    Well , what’s the point in trying to describe perfection. Because this is what this third book is. We have all for main characters coming together in a spine chilling humourus sort of way. Danny and Rose are as dynamically explosive together. Danny trying to pacify Rose, and Rose putting up with non of it. Both so madly in love with each other still, but Rose furious than the Assassin has been reborn. Beau and James don’t whether much better. Beau remains fragile but has a spine of steel. She tries dreadful to adjust to civi life, with the purpose still of revenge for her mother’s murder. James is hell bent on discovering the Bear like Danny, but needs Beau to release all the pent up emotions that being undead brings. Love all the side characters that grow with each book.. Zinnea/Lawrence has her own battles to fight. Esther , Danny’s Mom has interest in Otto, Goldie manages to seek her revenge and Tank, Fury new characters become dangerously endearing. All the characters are so believable regardless of age. Daniel , Rose’s son a typical teenager, and Beau’s Dad a deluded, egotistical individual. There is certainly immense drama in this series, intrigue, dark scenes of mutilation, and murder, but also laughter and banter amongst the characters. Mistrust , denial and lies abound and dark secrets are secrets no more. Romance is always around but so are deep emotional scenes between two in lovers. The book finishes on a high note?? But this is only a holiday not the end. Happier times are with the characters but for how long? Next January may have the answers. Jodi has captured the readers imagination again, with a well written, totally absorbing book , that leaves the reader wanting more as ever. The male hero’s are so alpha as ever, and female characters are so tough too. All of this authors. Book are phenomenal, and this one is exceptionally so.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and stressful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2022
    This review is for The Enigma and The Resurrection as I've just read them both. Before getting down to the nitty gritty, I know some books that are part of a series can be read as a standalone but not these. Please read the first, The Brit, which was outstanding and started all the madness off.
    Meeting James and Beau in The Enigma was the start of one heart wrenching, heart breaking, violent, angst ridden love story. The main men in these stories are brutal, extremely brutal but because of Jodies clever writing we can look past the violent, gut churning murders that take place. I can't believe I'm saying that, be warned, some of the murders are horrific but also weirdly funny. 😲 I suppose if your job is killing it becomes to mean nothing. The twist and turns in the books are so clever, I'm so tense at all times waiting for the next drama.
    Jodi writes great women characters as well as the men and they are so well thought out with amazing back stories. Always a reason for their behaviour and emotions.
    In Ressurection the getting together of our "Heroes" makes the third book a Humdinger of a ride and results in the women Rose and Beau forming a great bond, with their lives taking various, sad, mad and bad turns. Before reaching some level of happiness, well as much as you can when you're in love with an assassin and a mafia boss.. However, the happiness looks mighty temporary and we've got to wait a year for book 4. Only downside of reading these amazing books, the wait is too long but I'll be here, ready and waiting for Danny, Rose, Jimmy and Beau and their wonderful entourage of friends and family in the Motley crew.
