Trinity Masters #3
Scorching Desire
This is an alternative cover edition of the Kindle version, ASIN B00JXP732Q.
A reformed spy. A respectable lawyer. A renowned playboy.
When Damon Corzo is blackmailed it's not just his career that's in jeopardy, but the Trinity Masters--America's oldest and most powerful secret society. He and fellow member Marco Polin, a world famous playboy musician, enjoy sharing women, a secret that until now they've kept quiet.
Tasha Kasharin, the reformed spy sent to help them, knows this is more than simple blackmail. Marco and Damon's lives are in jeopardy. She ignores her increasingly vivid fantasies about being part of a trinity with them until their investigation is interrupted by the Grand Master, who calls them to the altar and binds them in a menage marriage.
The men must trust their futures to the unexpectedly innocent woman who's now their wife, while dealing with the change in their own relationship, and the complicated feelings that come with it. Blackmail escalates to violence, and they'll have to trust and accept one another if they're going to survive.

This one had a lot more action/suspense. It also had typos/editing errors.
I really liked it, but the connection to the male characters personalities wasn't as powerful as the previous books in this series.
Just a touch off.

I love the spy trope and the MC’s had potential but it just wasn’t enough. It was too little and too juvenile. Maybe it’s just times have changed since this was written.

Dear holy hell...I am still sitting here in a state of utter joy and horrid sadness. I'm SO bummed this book is over--but glad there are more in the series to sweep me away like this.
I can't begin to describe how profoundly deep and moving this story is. The heroine, Tasha, is like what you'd imagine the teen girl from "The Americans" to grow up like. She's SO messed up about what love is really like, and what commitment should really be. She's barely connected to the world, except through all these parts she has to play. Your heart just BREAKS for her!
Only the amazing understanding and complete love of two incredible heroes will reach this woman. Enter Marco and Damon, a pair of bad boys with a few skeletons in their own closet--giving them the empathy and insight into Tasha that nobody else has.
I literally could NOT put this book down. It moved me deeply...turned me on incredibly...and gave me hope that true love really does conquer all. God, the FEELS for these three!

Finally, a book in this series that lived up to the premise of a romantic thriller combined with unique ménage relationships, rather than the authors using one of those to drag the other along and hoping for the best.
Unlike the first two books, which jumped into the ménage marriage and sexy bits without a chance to get to know any of the characters (and then remembered that there should be a bit more of a plot later in the book), this one immediately starts with a plot that threatens the Trinity Masters secret society. As a bonus, we meet the characters on a more individual level. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, as a result, I liked Tasha, Marco, and Damon a lot more than their predecessors.
The boys still verged on a bit of “insta-love” with Tasha, but it developed while all three were thrown into dangerous and intimate (for multiple definitions of the word) scenarios than tend to bind people together regardless. Overall, this was definitely Tasha’s story, and she more than deserved her happy ending.
I’m now much more optimistic about this series and looking forward to finally connecting with the head of the secret society in the next book.

Marco world famous musician and Damon respected lawyer are best friends and playboys who also enjoys ménage’s with each other and different partners
Both joined Trinity Masters at young age to help their careers
“Trinity Masters helped the members excel in their chosen profession or field, and when the time came, he called them to the altar and matched them with two others in a trinity marriage.”
Natasha a former spy joined Trinity Masters to help protect them and herself . She is called on to sort out a blackmail happening to Damon and Marco
After meeting them and try to not have feelings for each other and sorting out the blackmail
They are called in again by the Grand Master but this time for the trinity marriage to each other.
More of a mystery than a romance but does has sex scenes but not enough
Should be more on the romance of these three too short of a story but you should definitely read the following short story of these three AFTER BURN
The motto of Trinity Masters
“We protect the United States, we ensure that the best and the brightest rise to protect the ideals of our great nation.

Scorching Desire is a phenomenal contemporary romance by Mari Carr and Lila Dubois. This is a M/F/M menage book though so it may not be for everyone. Ms. Carr and Ms. Dubois have delivered a well-written book with characters that are spectacular and make this story a great read. Damon and Marco were filmed sharing and Damon is being blackmailed. Tasha, ex-spy and now fixer for Trinity Masters is summoned along with Damon and Marco to the altar for their menage marriage. Tasha, Damon and Marco's story is packed with drama, humor, steamy sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book from cover to cover and look forward to reading the next book in this series. Scorching Desire is book 3 of the Trinity Masters Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

The Grand Master sure knows how to create some scorching hot triads.
Tasha was born and raised to be a spy. The Trinity Masters saved her from this life, but then used her for the same thing.
Marco, an incredible cello player is comfortable in his life playing hard with his best friend and playboy and lawyer, Damon. Together these men give new meaning to playing hard.
Something is wrong, and someone is threatening the Trinity Masters. Tasha is tasked with figuring it out and to save the reputations of of Damon and Marco.
Lots of questions remain at the end of this book! Such a great read.

There was a lot of adventure in this one. It was more a mystery than erotic, but very good. This book does have some M-M sex scenes, which I was totally into, but there isn't much sex until closer to the end of the book. Tasha is an ex CIA asset that still does spy with for the Trinity Masters. She gets called into help Damon and Marco with a blackmail scheme. She finds she trusts these men and the grandmaster decides to make them a Trinity. She's hasn't had much trust in her life and had a hard time coming to terms with the relationship. I really enjoyed her story and her transformation from a spy to a real woman who can decide what she wants

I liked this one better than the other two, which is saying something considering the over the top blackmail plot and the fact I was supposed to buy that one of the characters was a spy, probably because it felt like there wads a relationship between all three of the characters. (I'm not saying that the V form of the other two books was bad exactly, but it didn't feel like what it was billed as.)
I actually liked the characters in this as well, which was definitely different from actively disliking them or being apathetic towards them.

I really liked these three - while Damon and Marco have been best buds, Natasha brought out the best in them both, and gave her a safe space to be herself. They also learned more about each other, and while an aspiring judge, professional classical musician, and former double agent don't look like they'd be perfect together, they really, really are!

Suspenseful, action packed, and erotic. Well crafted with a good story line.
After Burn extended epilogue — Ingenious! A really good extended epilogue- I loved it!
Note: I purchased the box set (books 1 through 4) and am also reviewing the individual books.

It wasn’t my favorite of the series so far, but it was goood! I had a hard time relating to Tasha (but I mean who of us wouldn’t), but I loved how she would open up to her two men!

I liked this one better because Tasha was physically strong and willing to do her own rescuing.

This book is about a lawyer, a spy and musician coming together to figure out who is trying to blackmail them and the Trinity Masters organization. Tasha is a spy and she's done some crazy things in her life and Damon and Marco are just normal people living their life within the organization in their preferred careers. Because she's been a spy since she was a child she's never been able to form meaningful relationships with people until Damon and Marco. What starts out as a job from the Grand Master to protect them quickly turns into affection and love. Can the three of them figure out the chemistry between them and stay safe with a blackmailer out to get them?
I really liked this book Tasha even though she's a killer was very sweet and a little innocent when it comes to relationships with men. Damon and Marco are great they see her as a strong woman worth their protection and although they do sometimes try and stop her from doing her deadly job they eventually respect her enough to let her do what she needs to do. When they are called to the alter to become a trinity they aren't willing to let her go despite her fears because she's worth their love. I liked everything about the blackmailer although I don't feel like we get a good resolution as to who the villain is so hopefully we'll see that in future books. This was definitely a fun read.

The Trinity Masters are a secret society. They pair people in menage marriages that benefit each partner Damon Corozo is a powerful lawyer and his best friend, Marco Polin, is a world famous musician. They know they are going to enter a menage marriage, so they enjoy sharing women. When somebody is blackmailing Damon, the Grand Master sends his best clean-up agent, Tasha Kasharin to solve the problem. Tasha gets involved in figuring out who is blackmailing Damon and then gets involved with Damon and Marco. She is able to keep her fantasies to herself until the Grand Master calls them to the alter.
I loved the connection between Marco and Damon and then have them add Tasha. Wow! Wonderful book.

December 14, 2015The Trinity Masters Series are some of the best books you can find just about anywhere. This is the third book in the series and one of books that has the most heat. In this book there is already a some what already established male duo who enjoy sharing women. Marco and Damon are now being blackmailed which is not good for their career or The Trinity Masters either.
Former Spy, Tasha works for the Grand Master and she is out to find out who the blackmailer is and stop them. While doing this she is called to the alter...So are Damon and Marco, This book is HOT HOT HOT!

Definitely One of My Favorites!!!
I won't lie... I came across book one of this series by accident, but boy am I glad I did!!! What an amazing series! This book was probably my favorite, but from the very beginning, the authors enthrall you with mystery, intrigue, and extremely hot chemistry. Add in the fact that each relationship involves a triad of lovers, and now you've got a hot and steamy read. The authors of this series definitely know what they're doing, and the series is seriously one of my new favorites. Well done, ladies! Very well done!!!

I'm so glad I've stuck with this series, because I really do love the concept of a secret society of powerful menage relationships. :) This book was a great read, and packed plenty of suspense while still being a very sexy read. :) Marco, Damon, and Tasha have undeniable chemistry. I'm not going to give spoilers, but lets just say I found two scenes in particular very steamy. I can't wait for the next book as I'm very interested to see where this story goes now with the grand master.

I am definitively addicted to series. As soon as I can I preorder the next one. Now, it doesn't mean I like all the books in a series the same. But so far, none of this series has disappointed me. But this one is a really good one.
I like the plot, the caracters and the underlying threat to the bigger picture. From the first book you can feel it. But it gets closer with every book.

Love the concept! Trinity Masters is a great Secret Society that keeps the country's balance & advancement up front. Mating three people who are powerful in their own right.
Spy, musician, & lawyer, what a combination. I love the intrigue & love that guides this book. The sex is pretty hot too!! ;-)
Enjoy!!

Ok. I have some qualms about the plot - why did the villain have to be so over-the-top psychotic?

Finally, m/m/f! But it happend a bit too unexpectedly... I think that switch in the relationship should have gotten more attention.

Finally this series is what I thought it could be when I read the first book! This book is HOT with a great suspence story.

Intrigue and scandal what else could you need! Loved this story took so many turns I didn't know which way was up. I have so many more questions now for the Grand Master.. on to the next book!
