Heartbreaking, love stomping, total triumph. Not how the story was thought to go. I fell in love with it from the beginning, and in the middle of the ugly crocodile tears and snot, couldn’t stop reading. Completely worth it.
Oh Wow
I have started and deleted my review several times. It’s not because this was a bad story. Actually it’s just the opposite. There are so many things that I could say but most would give spoilers which I don’t want to do. What I will say is…..be prepared.

Bravery’s Sin starts full-throttle and doesn’t ease up until the very last word—honestly, it barely slows down!
I don’t even know where to start as so much happens in this excellent addition to this fantastic Master’s Admiralty series.
What you need to know is Nyx and Grigoris are pure magic. Their romance that blooms slowly and beautifully through to the craziness that ensues in pursuit of the Mastermind is sweet, smart, and sexy AF. They are perfect for each other.
Even as the secrets they keep and expose threaten to end things before they really get started. And whoa are there some big—huge—secrets!
And I cannot wait for more because that ending . . . dear god, that ending left me with a heavy dose of anticipation!
Ummmm….. I loved this story but I honestly don’t know what to say that won’t ruin the book.
The twists the turns where blindsiding and thrilling. The sex was hot and the adventure blood pumping, with characters that stand beside you for tge entire journey. Tears and chocolate are needed at times, but so is laughter and wine, and that’s all I’m going to say coz everything else spoils the book

Fantastic story, wonderful characters, amazing plot!
I keep saying that *this* book is the best of that series…and then I read the next book and I say the same thing!
Get it, read it, love it!!!
What these authors do to their characters…OMG! Sooo Good!!
In Bravery’s Sin, Mari Carr and Lila Dubois lead us through a complex maze of intrigue, suspense, deception, murder, mayhem, subversive plots, suspicious persons and accomplices. Events, at times, happen at a mind boggling pace. The love story between Grigoris, a janissary from the Ottoman territory and Nyx, one of the Fleet Admiral’s Librarians plays out amidst the chaos of trying to identify the mastermind behind the ongoing reign of terror within the Masters Admiralty. A superb storyline that surrounds fabulous characters, Bravery’s Sin exceeds all expectations. Quite simply put…buy this book and read it. You will not be disappointed.
Bravery’s Sin intimately delves into the psyche of Nyx and Grigoris as they complete their mission to find the mastermind. Nyx is intelligent, analytical, and scarred inside and out. Grigoris is ever the vigilant and caring protector. Mari Carr and Lila Dubois have created a complete package of romance, intrigue, tragedy, grief, despair, and healing with Bravery’s Sin.
Coming back into the world of the Admiralty is like having been on vacation and now the heartbreaking hunt for the mastermind begins again.
There are so many things to consider, truths to find among all the false leads. Whom to trust, when to run for cover.
All over the globe our heroes zigzag in pursuit of one maniacal individual and his/her helpers.
Those two ladies dragged me through heartbreak and bravery, devastating loss and new love, satisfying revenge and a temporary calm before the hunt begins again.
At least they promised that!
I’ll be checking!!!
First I think we should applaud the cover…it’s beautiful!
I love the dark blue background surrounding the shimmering gold dress, very eye catching.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff…
Mari and Lila have written another fabulous story in the Masters Admiralty series. As always it is packed full with intrig, suspense, mystery, and romance. I will say that this story is, well, a little bloody. What do expect from an enraged Viking. Of course for every problem solved and question answered there is one waiting to fill it’s place.
I love these two series…Trinity Masters and Masters Admiralty!
I’m amazed that these two talented, creative ladies can continually come up with such exciting plots.
If you have never read any books in these series I would highly recommended that you start from the beginning with the Trinity Masters. You really don’t want to miss any of the thrills.
Happy Reading 🙂
Catching the mastermind is priority number one for the secret society. Along the way, people become close and fall for someone they can never have. Nyx and Grigoris are two such. I fell off my chair several times in this book. There are twists and spoilers that I won’t give away even though I really want to. Nyx is such a strong and intelligent woman that has a past that prevents her from living the way she wants. Grigoris is the most understanding man and patient with her. The world they exist in consists of trinities. They have no hope of that happening so will they have a hope for a future? The mastermind still continues to elude all their efforts to find him or her despite the most intelligent and strategically minded people chasing. I loved this book and cannot wait to see where some of these characters wind up. By the way, to Ms Carr and Ms Dubois… stop killing my favorite characters!
This book is full of romance, suspense, murder, and action. Once you start reading, you are not going to be able to put the book down. I was very surprised by one of the characters that gets killed – but it was an integral part of the story. The characters did have to race against time to find the mastermind because he was doing a good job of setting situations up to make it look like the Fleet Admiral was the one doing the killings. Loved this story and look forward to reading more of this series.
Received an advance copy through Booksprout.
WOW!! This story was amazing! So many things going on that just grab you from the beginning and keep you on the edge of your seat. Once you start reading this book, you don’t want to put it down because, holy cow, what is going to happen next.
No no no noooo…. No for Nyx’s secrets coming to light. No for Grigorio having to make the hard choices. No for omg I was so not ready for that all to go down the way it did and I’m truly left scared for what’s to come cause I feel this is only the lull of the storm.
A remarkable story!
I’ve been a Mari Carr reader for a very long time. I can’t help but to devour anything she writes. Add in the sometimes evil Lila Dubois and you’ll have yourself a 5 star read every time!
This book will leave you scraching your head, gasping, crying, and fist pumping. I couldn’t put it down.
A must read!
Still on a quest to uncover who the mastermind, Nyx and Grigoris leave Cyprus, where she’s been recovering ,to join the other librarians in Dublin.
Boy this story just keeps you on it’s toes with it’s twist and turns, trying to figure out who’s behind all the treachery while giving you a beautiful romance in the mist of it all!
Plus some serious sexiness!
A beautiful geek, a handsome Greek and too many twists to count…
Yes, the admiralty is still after the Mastermind but that mystery has nothing on Nyx and Grigoris’ relationship. This story captured my heart and curiosity from the beginning. Nyx has a container ship load of baggage. But the admiralty doesn’t matchmake and only does triads. Where does this leave our intrepid couple? Nearly in tears one moment then giggling the next this book is a roller coaster thrill ride with a sweet sexy romance in the background. If romantic suspense is your bag don’t miss this heartbreakingly beautiful tale.
Intricate, Detailed and Fabulous!!!!
The Mastermind is setting off bombs, killing members and training others to create chaos within the Masters’ Admiralty organization. A concerted effort to narrow down the suspects has our main characters facing their greatest fears and risking their lives.
Having already been attacked Nyx cannot tolerate anyone at her back and continues to have nightmares. Grigoris is protecting Nyx during her recovery and falling for her. But she is not available. Trinity marriages are the rule.
Brilliantly written psychological thriller with fascinating details drawing you in close enough to the action to get your own blood splatter. Absolutely stunning read!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
This amazing story is a nonstop read! The story steps off from page one and just goes. It is spellbinding with so many emotional twist and turns that when you finish it you just say whew! I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Warning: Bravery‘s Sin is such an amazing page-turner that you will lose sleep or the ability to do anything else until you finish it. I seriously could not put the book down, and now I have a book hangover. Nyx and Grigoris’s story has so much emotion in it, and their love story is beautiful. Nyx overcame a lot to become the woman that she is today. The rest of the Librarians are on the nail-biting case to find the mastermind. Tragedy leads to something more. Will the mystery finally be solved? Bravery’s Sin is suspenseful, and sexy. I hope that there is a lot more to come from Mari Carr and Lila Dubois. I can’t wait for the next book!!
Absolutely awesome! The search for a diabolical madman continues in Bravery’s Sin, the fifth and most riveting book to date of this incredible series. It’s the most shocking, most mind-bending, most heartbreaking, most emotional, most thrilling book so far. Even with their uncertain future, the relationship between Nyx and Grigoris is deep and true, their love awe-inspiring. Lila Dubois and Mari Carr are masters of their craft. The writing and detailed plotting are superb. I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened leading up to the stunning conclusion of the book. It had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down.
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
