Sometimes angels fall.Maddie doesn’t really owe drug lord, Carlos Castillo, money. So she hadn’t taken his threats seriously. Until now. He wants it, whether she owes it or not. And if she doesn’t have it in six weeks he’s gonna take her as payment instead.Tyler would save the world if he could. That’s a fight that lasts forever. And if there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s fighting. So if Maddie … one thing he’s good at, it’s fighting. So if Maddie thinks she’s gonna deal with an insane drug lord on her own, she’s crazier than he is.
She’s got a debt she can’t pay. He’s got more money than he needs.
She’s not gonna fall for his charm. He’s gonna make sure that happens.
They’re destined to be together. Even if Maddie doesn’t know it yet.
Sometimes your soul mate isn’t who you’d choose, it’s who you need.
Good thing you don’t get to choose.

I enjoyed this book better then then first book. For me this book was less chaotic. Don’t get me wrong there is still a lot going on. It just doesn’t feel as manic as the first book. And I feel like I can keep up with Tyler and Maddie this time. LOL!!!! I also loved seeing Maddie’s character grow. I can’t wait to see where Huss and McClain take this series.
JA Huss and her new compadre Jonathan McClain, continue to enthrall, amaze and push me out of my comfort zone me all at once with this stunning story.
Book 2 starts off where 1 ended and Maddie’s a crazy woman, stuck in the clutches of an even crazier and dangerous man. When Carlos gives her two choices, she chooses the lesser of two devils. She has enough with her own internal little guy dancing on her shoulder, she doesn’t need another. But, where is she going to find the money Carlos is demanding? So, what’s a girl to do?
Tyler wakes to another mind-bending ‘dream’, and has a chat with you know who. That was super funny. James Franco a.k.a God, tasks him with cleaning up his mess by fixing what he broke with Maddie. He is pumped up and ready to take on… whatever comes his way.
Can these two crazy individuals make a go of things this time around?
There’s a lot of suspense with Carlos in the background, mixed with the duo’s smexy scenes had the story racing along and I was at the end before I knew what hit me, and that ending?? Again with the cliffy? Hold onto your hats, this is going to be another bumpy ride.
WOW!! Once again THESE AUTHORS BLEW MY MIND!! Angel’s Fall is a Second installment of this EPIC series! J.A. Huss & Johnathan McCain capture you in the very First Book- Sin With Me and keeps you Hooked! Maddie & Tyler’s story is So Emotionally Beautiful it has All the Feels you want into a Book!
The humor in Angels Fall, had me giggling aloud & right out Belly Laughs too! The characters banters between the two are so Witty and raw, that you literally feel like a fly on the wall listening in on their conversations. Not to mention their crazy monologues with themselves and inter- thoughts are so Intense but so Out of this world Hilarious! You cannot help yourself but to laugh & emphasize with them. Every Emotional and Compassionate thought for each other despises what inter-demon they are fighting with themselves, melting your hearts.
I don’t want to give any spoilers because this Book is NOT what you expect it. I mean I will give this….James Franco, a Pitch Fork, Stripper shoes that Almost KILL you and last BUT Least…a Fox Tail involving a parent then NOT! The Sexual Chemistry is Still off the Charts HOT!
Let’s Not Forget the Action and the Drama that follows Tyler & Maddie’s life. The Dirty strip club comes with unfaithful henge men or man and the Owner wanting lend a helping hand when necessary. A still lingering “debit” still needs to Yet be paid. A deadline is set and needs to be forced. A Lot is Happening in Their World and gets turned Upside-down in the End but Leaves You with Unanswered questions!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK- Flesh Into Fire!
A MUST READ BOOK!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TYLER
With her sitting in my lap, staring at me, flooded in our shared desire, I see my whole, rotten life reflected in her eyes.
In her knowledge of me.
In who I was.
In who I might one day be.
Our connection with each other is as ancient as the sodden shelter that’s hosts us, as strong as the power it generate, and as beautiful and complicated as the machinery that keeps it all at bay.
In other Words…..SHIT JUST GOT REAL AS FUCK.
Love this series
4.5 stars
This book picks up from where Sin With Me ended and Tyler and Maddie are both left to deal with the aftermath.
Like with the previous book, Angels Fall took me a couple of chapters to really get into due mainly to Tyler’s manic personality. I struggle quite a bit with his character yet I absolutely adore him. Underneath his crazy randomness he’s extremely easy to like. I love his connection/obsession with Maddie, his need to keep her safe while been clueless as to what’s happening is really sweet (or stupid depending who you ask).
Maddie is just as lost as Tyler. Trying to deal with her conflicting feelings/thoughts towards Tyler while trying to come to a deal about her ‘debt’, she’s still working at the strip club and concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other and staying alive.
These two characters are either crazy or have crazy following them. The story has a little bit of everything and once I’d got into Tyler’s head, I struggled to put this book down. Can’t wait to see what trouble they get into in the next book.
So, I’m trying to figure out how to put my thoughts into words and describe how I felt reading this second book in the series. It starts right where we left off in book 1, Sin With Me, so if you haven’t read that yet, stop now and go do that first.
One of the first things I have to say about Maddie is she has a lot more lady balls than she does common sense this go-around. Or perhaps it is really just because she is SO tired of trying to climb that mountain, and she’s fed up, and disgusted, has nothing but bad luck, and she’s finally getting some really good dick only to find out who Tyler is. Talk about mindfuck!!
Tyler…is still Tyler. But he’s kind of like Tyler 2.0 after acting like a phoenix and rising from the ashes. He’s “seen the light” as they say, and he’s bound and determined to be there for Maddie in whatever capacity she needs. So he does some stuff to prove to her that he is remorseful for skipping out on the family unit for the past dozen years and is in it for the long haul. And he’s still a fucking witty guy, everybody says so. They say some other things about him too, like he’s a super vulnerable and sensitive motherfucker, and he is, finally letting some of those block walls he’s built around his heart down a little. Yay, Dr. Eldridge!! Or maybe it was James Franco….the jury is still out for me.
The whole Carlos Castillo situation has escalated, with him changing his strategy of just how he’s going to collect what Maddie owes him. But what the hell?? She doesn’t even owe him the money!! I guess he wouldn’t be at the head of his cartel if he didn’t make the rules and take what he wants, right? And his minions are doing the dirty work of sending Maddie reminders that he fully plans to collect, one way or the other. There’s only so far you can push someone, poke the tiger so to speak, before they snap back. Oh, Maddie, I am SO waiting to see you snap back!
Julie has always been the queen of writing the sexy times, but her and Johnathan together? Shit just ramped up on the sexy meter tenfold! I am having the best time living vicariously through Maddie and Tyler, because I can tell you right now, if the hubby and I tried any of the things these two do, we’d both end up in traction in the hospital! But it would probably be SO worth it!
The sexy times and the suspense of wondering what’s going to happen with Carlos and that whole mess kept me captivated with this story, but the emotional aspect really came to the forefront in this installment. Maddie has been struggling for so long, basically pushing everyone away from her since Scotty died. And Tyler has pretty much been doing that for even longer, since he joined the military. He used the excuse that he’s been busy seeing the world and all that jazz, but really that has just been a smokescreen for the reality that he just didn’t know how to “be” Tyler, a friend, brother to Scotty and Evan, just a guy who has friends and extended family who love him, who would never treat him the way his father has. And now that Maddie and Tyler actually know that they are Maddie and Tyler, and not Ford and Scarlett, it was a revelation for them both to discover how “good” they feel when they are together, how they each bring the other peace and happiness. Now if they can just figure out the way forward from here. Sure, the sex is great, but now to figure out how to just “be” together.
Not gonna lie, the ending of this book tore my heart right out. I sat with tears in my eyes, yelling, “Why?? Why would you do that???” But it was the catalyst that lit the fire under Maddie, no pun intended. Shit’s gonna get real in the next book, and I can’t wait!!
Wow! Once more this writing duo blew me away!
I don’t want to give any spoilers so I will try to refrain from giving any actual details of this amazing story. Maddie’s character, having been broken too many times, faces the heavy burden of depression even as she forces herself to continue onward each day. Things around her are changing and while some hold the promise of goodness, they are not geared toward her. She continues to walk the path planned out for her by the man who holds her accountable for the loss of a great sum of money. A condition that will ultimately cost her so much more than a mere number of currency.
Tyler has a driving need to make things right with Maddie but is lost and confused how to do it. The totally crazy, druggy mind thoughts we witnessed in the first book subsides into witty banter within himself. His reckless actions from before become determination to find a solution to fix the pain he inflicted on Maddie so many years ago. Filled with a desire to not only correct his past mistake but to win her back, he seeks counsel from those around him. Those conversations were interesting, humorous and often times heartfelt.
While the first book in this series showed us the despair this couple lived with daily, this one showcases their struggle to rise from the additional pain their parting left with them. Together this writing duo absolutely pulls you into the emotions that they each dealt with as they find not only themselves, but what the other could possibly mean to their future.
The ending is again a cliffhanger and once more I had to grit my teeth as the promise of Maddie’s full character teased me. I can feel it coming and I am anxious to learn the additional paths this couple will have to travel to find their peace.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Whew, that was quite a ride! Angels Fall, the second installment in J.A. Huss and Johnathan McClain’s Original Sin Series is a super sexy, emotional roller coaster.
Maddie and Tyler continue to struggle with their inner demons and each other. Tyler, however, is enlisting not only what he learned in Nepal from his Rinpoche but also the sage advice of Pete, the owner of the strip club where Maddie works (and a sort of surrogate father figure to both Maddie and Tyler), and helpful hints from Raven, the aging stripper turned manager with a heart of gold. These secondary characters add both depth and meaning to the story. I loved the relationship that Tyler forges with Pete, and that he wins over Raven.
Tyler keeps reaching out to Maddie in more and more meaningful ways, and eventually she pushes back less hard. That girl needs some shaking up. She is stuck. Her life sucks and she can’t seem to do anything to correct it…mainly because she can’t let go and trust some people around her to help her out of her jam.
The dialogue is fantastic. Tyler’s verbal diarrhea and inner monologues are endearing. Maddie continues to be in need of a bear hug and a slap to the face to shock her out of her funk. I loved that everyone but Maddie perceived her as strong. The small, meaningful details that the authors have included punctuate the imminent changes in the characters and the direction of the story. Are Tyler and Maddie each other’s salvation or their ruination? The dramatic and emotionally charged ending left me hanging on a cliff by the tips of two fingers. Call an EMT, I think I’m in V-Fib (but tell them to bring the next installment of the series instead of the paddles)!
WOW oh wow…. if you thought book one was good you haven’t read anything yet. Angels Fall starts where Sin With Me leaves off and all I can say is that I fall more in love with Tyler and Maddie with each book I read. This book had me laughing so hard with Unlucky Logan and James Franco, that I couldn’t put it down. Maddie is definitely one kick ass woman who takes no shit and Tyler is the man that will fight for her and with her no matter what it takes. Prepare yourself for another wild fucking ride aboard the Tyler and Maddie train!!!!
Angels Fall is the second book in JA Huss and Johnathan McClain’s Original Sin series and you do not want to miss it…’Everybody says so’ !
The romantic connection between Tyler and Maddie is something old and something new. Once upon a time, they meant something to each other and then tragedy tainted their connection, mistakes were made and they both carry a good deal of anger and hurt. Shocked to discover they’re suddenly in each others lives again, they struggle to find forgiveness and understanding.
These MCs are real. Flawed and scarred, but not broken. They are witty and funny and sarcastic. They are hard and jaded and vulnerable, and you can’t help but compare their new love connection to a slow-burning incendiary device. Will it annihilate them or become the phoenix rising from the ashes ?
I’m really rooting for life to give these two a much deserved break, but the authors aren’t through toying with our emotions yet, so I’m strapped in for book 3. If that cliffie at the end is any indication your probably gonna need a shoulder harness and a lap belt!
