I love the Trinity Masters series and this book is no exception! Tess, Isaiah and Caden are awesome, and the story line grabs you from the beginning.

I'll admit that it took me months to finish this book (and I read 250 books a year at least, so this is way outside the norm for me). I didn't realize the book was part of a series initially, so that didn't help. There were a ton of characters from previous books that immediately came into play and I was so confused. Then throw in the whole trinity part with a National Treasure-esque plot right away and it led to even more confusion. So that's why I stopped and started this one so many times over the months. But eventually I decided to finally put my foot down and finish the book. I'm so glad I gave it a chance because this turned out to be a pretty good book.

I won't go into the plot since that'll give too much away, but it kept me captivated once I got past the first 20% of the book. I honestly was more invested in the mystery/suspense than the romance between Isaiah, Tess and Caden. Don't get me wrong, they were hot together and I loved the way their relationship evolved, but we didn't get much in the way of romance and erotica like I expected. There are a few scenes, but I really expected more given who Cade was and the whole menage thing. I thought this was the final book in the series, so I was disappointed with the ending since it was open-ended and I didn't feel like I really had closure on Isaiah/Tess/Caden's story. Regardless, this was a good mystery/suspense book with some nice romance thrown in. I probably won't go back and read the previous books since it seems as though I'll be ruining the plot knowing what I know now, but who knows? Maybe I'll give the a chance.

Starting this book when it was so far into the series I was able to quickly pick up on what was happening. I was immediately pulled into all the plot twists and turns and how it used history to solve a mystery. All three characters working together to find out what a timeless poem could possibly mean for generations for their descendants. Pulling it all together was done in a tale that kept my attention riveted and desperate to read more of the series!

Caden has done much that he is ashamed of. He has protected those he loved even if it didn’t look that way. Now when he is offered love can he trust it is real?
Masterful Truth is tenth in Mari Carr and Lila DuBois’ Trinity Masters series. This book is best read in chronological order. I really liked Caden. He is so misunderstood. He tried to protect those he loved and did so in a way that made him unlikeable. I love that Ms. Carr and Ms. DuBois showed us the nature of Caden. He was unable to look beyond his actions to appreciate the why and that the why was good. I loved that Tess and Isaiah refused to let Caden go. They would shine a light so that Caden could see he wasn’t nearly as evil as he believed. I loved how well this trinity fit. Both Tess and Isaiah were a bit nerdy but it was so cute. I loved the little insider jokes that Ms. DuBois and Ms. Carr sprinkled throughout this story. I enjoyed the twist and turns as Caden, Tess and Isaiah worked to complete their task. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to where Ms. Carr and Ms. DuBois will take us next.

A great introduction to this author for me. I loved the characters and the writing style. Well written romance book.

I really liked this one...it was a bit hard to follow at first, I think because this was the first book I've read in this series but I like the historical aspect as well as the twists and turns each character took in their own emotional journeys as well as the twists and turns the book took - I was constantly surprised. Overall a fun read, would definitely recommend.

Such a fantastic story full of surprises. Masterful Truth is suspenseful, fast paced and written quite well. Good use of dialogue and the story rocked.

This was the best book yet in this series. The characters were so relatable, and Mari did an excellent job weaving story and hot, steamy scenes together into an enjoyable read. There is enough detail in the story that it would be easy to read this as stand alone but having read the series adds nice depth and background.

This is one good mystery and adventure. We have a secret society that goes way back into our past.it deals with schemes, intrigues, their own rules, killing and stealing. At first I was a bit lost with so many information and unknown factors so I think it would be better to read this series in order from the beginning. But the author managed to clear some things later in the book.

The mystery reminded me on The Da Vinci Code with all the uncovering secrets from the past. The new Trinity is short on time to discover buried secrets that can costs their lives. The romance was not primary theme but it was ok with some kink and ménage. I liked how they interacted and get to know each other from perfect strangers to lovers. There was not much heat and passion just some hints.
I didn’t like how they, especially Caden made bdsm a bad thing. Because he was forced into it and didn’t see the other, good part of bdsm relationship and power exchange.
Overall it was a good mystery but I think I would enjoy it more if I had read previous books.

Brilliant book couldn’t put it down! Loved it! Highly recommend reading this!!!

This is a difficult book for me to rate. I was under the impression it could be read as a standalone, but must admit, I was completely lost for the first half of this book, with that said, it kept me turning the pages so that has to be a good thing, right?

Masterful Truth is the tenth book in the “Trinity Masters” series, and while it would help to have read the preceding books I hadn’t, but I had no trouble figuring out the plot as it is well explained. Beware, however, if you have been reading the series in order and have skipped some of them; there are obvious spoilers in this latest book.

This book is a complicated thrill-ride, and not for the faint of heart. For the rest of us, though, it is a terrific book. Listed by NetGalley as erotica this is not porn; although the sex scenes are plentiful they are well-written and not gratuitous, but rather an integral part of the story line. I would classify this as a thriller with a lot of sex in it.

I don’t like spoilers, so I am not going to give any, but for those who have been reading this series all along this is a spiffy addition to it, and for those, like me, for whom this book is an introduction to the Trinity Masters, it is an excellent beginning. There are a lot of twists and turns in Masterful Truth and even the wariest reader will not see all of them coming.

I highly recommend this book, and now I have the great pleasure of being able to go back and read the first nine.

I was given an ARC of this book by the publisher and NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This book is full of mystery, action, suspense and just about anything you can name. A triad must discover the secrets that someone will kill to protect. An entertaining read!

I received a copy of the book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I truly enjoy the Sherlock Holmes and historical aspects of this series. The love stories are compelling, due in great part to the substance of the Trinity members and how they navigate a new life together. That being said, the books are getting more and more dark and dysfunctional. Violence, betrayal, & treason are painful to read. Passion, love, support, & humor are romantic. Bring back those aspects, please.

4 stars

A complex story with puzzles to solve and lots of interesting characters.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

As a novice to this series, it was not what I expected at all. It was much more! It combined history with intrigue and drama. Not to mention the unconventional romance. The characters were quirky and sometimes flawed, which made them more believable and relatable. It was obvious that the authors put substantial research into writing the book and the effort augmented the story immensely. I may be a novice to this series but, I plan to change my status soon.
