Sexy, steamy heat? Check. Intrigue that keeps you turning the pages past bedtime? Check! Another delicious read from this amazing duo. Loved it!
As always Mari Carr and Lila Dubois takes the reader on a wild ride full of intensity and adventure. Karl, Leila, and Antonio are brought together by misfortune and torture. But sometimes misfortune can be turned into the real treasure. Can’t wait for the next page turner!
Soooo… I was in here and i was searching about a book! And I feel upon this one! I LOVED IT!!! It has story (and what a story) i has love and it has many sexy scenes (mmf, bdsm, loving, hard f**king all the good stuff). The plot about the Domino is an original! None of the books that i read has so much back story. I’m a “one book one villain at the time” kind of girl because I’m impatient and i want to know! BUT! This one is a very good book and I am glad that i took the time to read it! My recommendation?? Read it! If u are in the sexy scenes that i described earlier go for it! U are in for a bumpy ride… U will be shocked, u will fell in love, u will want to kill the bad guys, and u while reading u will say “no.. Don’t do that… Come on…”! I just cant wait for the next one! Read it! U will love it!
Karl knows he is dying and as far as he knows, no one knows he is missing. Leila fought and lost. She knows she will die, but at least she won’t die alone. Antonio is determined to find justice. He wasn’t looking for the living but he will do what is necessary to keep Karl and Leila alive.
Pleasure’s Fury is third in Mari Carr’s and Lila Dubois’ The Masters Admiralty series. This story is best read in chronological order. This story by Ms. Dubois and Ms. Carr begins with a bank. The action starts from word one and continues throughout. We really get to know the character of Karl, Leila, and Antonio. I mean Karl and Leila came up close and personal with death. Could they move beyond the torture they survived? And Antonio never meant to get so attached but Leila and Karl are his. Can he keep them? I enjoyed meeting these characters. They were strong, smart and honorable. But finding their strength did not come easy. I love that in spite of the pain they suffered Karl, Leila and Antonio found friendship. A friendship that morphed into something more. I love that Leila, who struggled to find her feminine side found it effortlessly between Karl and Antonio. I love that Karl finds safety between Leila and Antonio. I love that Antonio finds love between Karl and Leila. Ms. Carr and Ms. Dubois gave me a story full of passion. I laughed. I cried. I saw love blossom. This story is a wonderful addition to this series. I cannot wait to see where Ms. Carr and Ms. Dubois will take this story next.

Fast paced, and steamy romantic suspense. MM MMF. I love this series, couldn’t put it down. I love the Viking. Loved Antonio, Leila and Karl’s story. Can’t wait for Hugo’s story.
Before I began this book, I knew it was supposed to be the best yet. The authors had been dropping hints since the release of the last book, and with the entire series, each book has just gotten progressively more amazing. Even knowing all that, I didn’t really think that anything could top Loyalty’s Betrayal. I was wrong. I wasn’t prepared for just how……perfect this book was. I should have known better than to try to start this book before bedtime, thinking I’d just read a bit and finish when I got up. No. Just no. Be forewarned. This isn’t one of those books that you can read a little, put it away, and then read a little bit later. Nope. This is one of those that you have to read it all at one time. There is no putting it down. I was so caught up, hours went by, and I didn’t even realize it!
This duo of authors has put together a secret world that is totally spy movie worthy. And Pleasure’s Fury takes it to an entirely new level. The description is so fantastic, I could actually picture it as it was unfolding. The non-stop escalation of crazy events in this book had me glued to my seat, unable to put my kindle down. It was chilling, making shivers run up and down my spine, exactly how descriptive this story was. I kept wanting to look over my shoulder, to make sure the bad guy wasn’t sneaking up on me!
The relationship between these three characters was more….just more. I feel like their emotions, their feelings, were deeper than in some of the previous books. Maybe because of the circumstances of the beginning? I’m not sure but it definitely made for a fantastic story!
I can’t say enough, if you are a lover of romance, if you are a lover of the Trinity Masters, or of the Master’s Admiralty, this book is going to blow you away. It takes everything we love and jacks it up to a whole new level. This series has been great so far, but of all of the books by this duo, This Book Is It! The writing is fantastic, the story engaging, the characters amazing, and the description so real, you can picture yourself right in the middle of the action as it happens! Definitely one of my top reads of the year!
Another great addition to the Master’s Admiralty series of steamy menage mysteries!
The third book in the Masters’ Admiralty series there is danger, suspense, drama, villains, kidnapping, intrigue, and romance. Leila and Karl are both members of The Masters’ Admiralty and Antonio Starabba is a security officer—aka assassin this is their story. I know I want to read the next book in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Just when you think a series cannot get any better, Pleasure’s Fury steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park!
I so enjoyed the romance that bloomed between Antonio, Leila and Karl after Antonio somehow figures out where Leila and Karl have been kept when kidnapped and tortured. That while trying to then capture the killer, their friendship developed into so much more. Something so amazing and wonderful that came from such a horrible, horrifying situation.
I loved how they learned to trust each other. To lean on each other when needed. And to love. Really love! Sure, they still have their issues—their secrets—but wow, these “organically grown” triads are just so much fun to see how they all connect.
I’m super excited for the next book in the series—appears to be a bit of a cross over into the Trinity Masters and I cannot wait!
When Antonio rescues Leila and Karl from the torture Six has put them through, he opens the door to a trinity that shouldn’t exist, hasn’t been pre-arranged. And yet, Leila, Karl and Antonio can’t help but fall for each other as they race the clock to find Ciril and even more importantly, the person pulling the strings on the whole operation, the business of killing and torturing people, both part of Masters’ Admiralty and not.
I said it before, and I’ll say it again because it’s true – this series and Trinity Masters are an exciting hybrid of National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code, with all the action, intrigue and suspense both those movies bring, plus the added bonus of steamy, sexy chemistry. The ongoing mystery of who the villain is, and when the Masters’ Admiralty will catch him or her is the driving force behind this story, but the relationship between these three is given equal weight and it’s all the better for it. I love the fact that their trinity is not an arranged one, rather, one borne of pure chemistry and feelings, but is just as important and beautiful as all the pre-arranged trinities that have come before them. And I love how their relationship played out. I am now dying for the next installment of this exciting, sexy series!!
hot, ho, hot!
What an explosion of emotions, senses and mind twisters. This series just keeps getting better and better and it’s hard to wait for the next rollercoaster book.
The Masters’ Admiralty Series continues to blow me away. Book 3, Pleasure’s Fury is just as sexy, intriguing, and nail biting as it’s predecessors. The opening pages are absolutely chilling and I couldn’t put the book down. I love this trio and the chemistry between Antonio, Karl, and Leila is off the charts. The mystery surrounding the attacks on the Masters’ Admiralty has only deepened in Pleasure’s Fury. I am anxiously awaiting book 4 of this phenomenal series!
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
This book was a very good read from the first page to the end. I just couldn’t put the book down it had so many twists and turns. If your looking for a book that has a menage, kipnapping, mad man, of secrets, and great love scenes. I can’t go read the book.

Mari Carr and Lila Dubois have crafted a story that exploits the psyche of good versus evil encompassing a vile man with no soul and a protector that goes to all lengths to heal two damaged souls that once had no fear of life or circumstances. Antonio saves, protects, and provides a safe haven for Leila and Karl. Antonio helps bring Leila and Karl back to the present and looking forward to a future by forming a trinity of their choice based on trust, communication, and love. The writing of Mari Carr and Lila Dubois flawlessly complement each other with action, suspense, heartache, and steamy scenes which keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end. Pleasure’s Fury is the best book thus far in the Masters’ Admiralty series.
So sexy and action-packed… I’m loving this whole series!
Pleasure’s Fury is an amazing read and I think it just might be my favorite!!! Heart racing, heart pounding, emotions running wild through each second of the book!!! Antonio, Leila and Karl will take you on the roller coaster ride of your life…Don’t miss a second!!! Definite 5 star worthy!!!
On the hunt for an ancient enemy of the Masters’ Admiralty we are introduced to more people fighting to eliminate the threat.
The sadistic killer decimating the ranks of the members has ever more knights hunting him from country to country at a frantic pace. This time, one tenacious Italian is able to save two of his victims at the very last moment, but has to let him escape in the process.
Amidst the fighting and the casualties a profound but doomed love story develops.
This is a fast paced mixture of torture and love, finding clues, fighting, and always being one step behind the enemy.
Gripping, Intricate, and Sensual Story from the Master’s Admiralty!!
Leila and Karl, members of the Master’s Admiralty, start this story having been captured and are being tortured. Karl know quick and painless is impossible – he would settle for quick and painful; but he is currently dying by inches with no food and no water and tied so tightly to a chair that when he is moved his skin stays behind.. When Leila is brought to his location she is given the opposite; she is under a steady stream of cold water. Leila’s feet become numb and without instructions from Karl she would fall – falling means death.
As you can see this made quite an impact on me…. And them. When Antonio is able to locate and free them (barely) they must hide as it becomes apparent someone within the organization is providing information.
This story encompasses the physical, the cerebral and the heart. And perhaps a nod to Star Trek; “What are you doing? Take her and get out!” “We’re all leaving.” “This is stupid. This is how you fail the Kobayashi Maru.” Antonio ignored the nonsense words and slid the snips under the plastic restraint on Karl’s left wrist and cut it off.
These three become very close – even though they are assured they will never become a trinity: “Leila reached for a gun that wasn’t there. Damn it, she needed a gun. The door slammed open. Antonio stood framed in the doorway, a sword in his hand. He was wearing jeans and a black shirt. His hair was wet, as if he’d just gotten out of the shower. One lock fell over his eye, and he looked like a dark avenging angel.”
These are amazing stories – and each one just gets better and better!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
Leila, Karl, and Antonio had my heart beating faster, my chest hurting, and made me short of breathe! This was a wild, scary, painful, and crazy ride that I just couldn’t see a happy ending coming out of. And there was a lot of loss in this book, and hurt, but hang in there, and keep the faith even when all seems lost, twice, maybe three times, because it does all come together. At least for our trinity, everything else, it shatters and splinters apart, and will leave you chomping for the next book
