About The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas (Unlawful Men Series, Book 4 of 5) – A Dark War for Love, Power and Survival

Danny Black and James Kelly have survived enemies, loss, secrets, and bloodshed. Both men want something that once seemed impossible: a peaceful life with the women they love.

But peace does not come easily to men with dangerous pasts.

In The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas (Unlawful Men Series, Book 4 of 5), Danny and James must work together against a shared enemy who threatens everything they have built. Their city is under pressure, their power is slipping, and old enemies are returning.

Walking away from the criminal world once looked like the answer. Now they understand that leaving may only make them easier to destroy.

To keep Rose and Beau safe, Danny and James must face the world they wanted to escape and take control of it again.

The official author page identifies The Rising as Unlawful Men Book 4 and describes Danny Black and James Kelly joining forces against a mutual enemy.

Two Dangerous Men with One Goal

Danny Black is not a man who accepts defeat.

He has power, enemies, and a reputation built through fear. But Rose Cassidy changed what matters to him. His life is no longer only about being the strongest man in the room. Now he has someone he cannot afford to lose.

James Kelly understands that feeling.

James has lived through terrible loss and built his life around revenge. Beau Hayley became the person who gave him something beyond anger and death.

Danny and James are different men, but they now share the same problem.

Their enemies know exactly where to hurt them.

The women they love are their greatest happiness, but they are also the reason every threat feels more dangerous.

The Rising turns this weakness into the heart of the story. Danny and James can fight almost anyone, but protecting the people they love requires choices that violence alone cannot solve.

The Underworld They Cannot Escape

For Danny and James, leaving crime behind sounds simple until their enemies refuse to let them go.

Power begins to fall apart around them. Old problems return. Hidden secrets appear. Betrayal becomes a constant risk.

Soon, the two men are forced to accept an ugly truth: if they want to survive, they cannot simply leave their world.

They may have to rule it.

That creates the central struggle of The Rising. Danny and James are not fighting because they want more wealth or status. They are fighting because losing control may mean losing everything.

The official description emphasizes this shift, with both men realizing they must protect their world at any cost as enemies, secrets, betrayals, and personal sacrifices close in around them.

Love Raises the Stakes

This is not a romance where love makes every problem disappear.

Love creates even more risk.

Danny's feelings for Rose and James's love for Beau make their decisions harder because every mistake can hurt someone important.

That is one reason The Rising works well for readers who enjoy dark romantic suspense. The romance and danger are closely connected.

There is passion, but there is also fear.

There is loyalty, but there is also betrayal.

There is hope for a future, but death is never far away.

Readers who enjoy morally grey men, dangerous relationships, crime, revenge, and couples fighting to stay together may find this book difficult to put down.

Why Book 4 Feels Bigger

The Rising comes after three books that build the Unlawful Men world.

By Book 4, the story is no longer only about meeting the characters or discovering their secrets. Readers already understand how much Danny, James, Rose, and Beau have suffered.

Now the danger becomes bigger.

Danny and James must deal with enemies who threaten their control and the lives they are trying to protect. Their past choices return with consequences, and the story pushes both men toward harder decisions.

This makes The Rising an important continuation for readers who have already finished The Brit, The Enigma, and The Resurrection.

Jodi Ellen Malpas's official book list places The Rising fourth in the Unlawful Men sequence.

Do I need to read The Brit, The Enigma, and The Resurrection before The Rising?

Yes. The Rising should be read after the first three Unlawful Men books for the best experience. It continues the conflicts, relationships, enemies, and mysteries already developed around Danny, Rose, James, and Beau. Reader discussions also note that The Rising picks up from the events of The Resurrection, so beginning with Book 4 could spoil earlier developments and make important relationships harder to understand.

Who are the main characters in The Rising, and whose story does it follow?

The Rising mainly continues the lives of Danny Black and Rose Cassidy, along with James Kelly and Beau Hayley. Rather than giving only one couple the spotlight, the story follows the wider group as they face the same dangerous enemy. Reader reviews frequently praise the multiple-character focus because it allows readers to see how the growing war affects both relationships while also giving important side characters a larger role.

Is The Rising by Jodi Ellen Malpas spicy?

Yes. The Rising contains strong and explicit adult romance, so it is intended for mature readers rather than readers looking for a clean romance. Romance.io currently rates its steam level at 5 out of 5, Explicit and Plentiful, while StoryGraph reviewers regularly mention the book's high level of spice alongside its emotional and suspenseful storyline.

Is The Rising more of a romance or a thriller?

The Rising combines both, but readers often describe it as having a strong romantic-thriller or romantic-suspense feel. The official story centers on Danny and James hunting a dangerous enemy while dealing with secrets, betrayals, personal sacrifices, and threats to the women they love. Reader reviews also highlight action, mystery, major twists, dark romance, and suspense as important parts of the experience.

Is The Rising the final book in the Unlawful Men series?
No. The Rising is Book 4 of 5, not the final book. The series continues with The American by Jodi Ellen Malpas (Unlawful Men Series, Book 5 of 5). Goodreads confirms the five-book order, while reader reviews of The Rising also discuss story threads and characters that continue beyond Book 4. If you want to complete the entire Unlawful Men journey, The American should be read next.
