Fiery Surrender by Mari Carr and Lila DuBois coming March 24, 2020

5 stars


I started this book, intending to read a bit before bed to take my mind off life, so I could sleep. Yeah, DON’T DO THAT!!!!! This book will consume you, and while it will 100% immerse you in the story and definitely you will think of nothing but this story, you will not be able to stop reading. Then you will be like me, at 3:25 am, heart-pounding, adrenaline coursing through your system, because you finished the book, and sleep is the farthest thing from your mind. Read it, you’ll see it isn’t just the characters, it is the direction of the series’ AND the characters <3.

Langston, oh how I loved Langston from the start, he is perfect, he just really is. No pretense, no airs or subterfuge, he is who he is, how he is, and isn’t locked up in his ego. He is willing to learn, try, and experience everything. Mina and Rich aren’t that, and they really rubbed me the wrong way right away, but they quickly made up for it. Not being used to dealing with people who are exactly as they seem, they make some mistakes and misreads of Langston. Of course, they make them between each other too, because even though they grew up together, being married is something else. The ménage had attraction and heat from the start, and it only kept getting better. The emotional attachments were there, and they only grew as well, becoming full force love binding these three together. The suspense and action, it was there, but not in forefront, until it was. It was an undercurrent, white noise that was always there, and you knew it was going to get loud and strike, but you never knew when.

The story had appearances from both Trinity Masters and Masters’ Admiralty characters (slight PTSD flashback on that one), and the set-up for the next book in the series (yay!). It also had some true laugh out loud moments, because despite everything, our Trinity likes to have fun together. One of the best lines is in a highly stressful, possibly dangerous situation while under attack, and I have to share it here before I go, to counteract the flashback
“I have a knife used to cut limes”
“We’re going to die”
p.s , they didn’t 😊
