Joyful Engagement: Trinity Masters: The Hayden Brothers, Book 2.5 Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 213 ratings

When planning the grumpy triplet’s surprise wedding goes wrong.

Warrior Scholar Tate Greene has been given a simple job: mailman. He, along with Roman Tanaka, travel to South Carolina to deliver two letters. Just two.

When Tate, Roman, and Scarlet Hall–who has a secret mission of her own–get to Charleston, they find out that they have been sent into hostile territory, and the simple task is far more dangerous than Tate expected.

After a run in with a stun gun, the three find themselves held captive by the very people they were sent to surprise. They’ll have to work together to not only escape, but keep a trinity from ruining their chance at a happily ever after.

    This book is totally different from all of the other books, both in the Trinity Masters and the Masters Admiralty series. This book provides an element of comedy, maybe even hilarity that we don't always see in this series. (I know that I definitely LOL'd while reading this one!) Don't get me wrong, there is still an element of danger, and lots of surprises, but this novella focuses more on the fun, and the connection between the trinities, than on the ongoing drama that continues to unite the series. It shares the feelings, the emotions between them, and makes them seem more.....real.

    This book is a novella, and as such isn't a full story, compared to the rest of the series. It isn't meant as such. However, it does provide a brief glimpse into the lives of previous characters, as well as a glimpse into some new ones as well. There are also some tantalizing hints at possible coming answers to some questions that have lingered from previous books. These authors definitely know how to set a stage, and how to end a book on a high note! I'm definitely looking forward to what comes next!

    Okay, I did not see this one coming, but I’m so glad it was written. I read this continuation of Oscar, Selene and Luca’s story with great delight and much laughter. I mean really a lot of laughter. So beware when you start reading, go to the bathroom first and then prepare to laugh until you cry. What a fun-filled story and a tie-in to the next book in the epilogue. Highly recommended.

    Tate and Roman have been tasked with a mission. A seemingly innocuous mission - deliver two envelopes to Selene and Luca. Sounds innocent but there's an underlying element of seriousness that perhaps the third of Selene and Luca's trio may not react very well to. And cue the laughs because this is definitely the funniest and least serious of this series I have read, and I loved it!

    Along the way Tate and Roman meet their own third, fall hard, and indulge in a serious attraction. Lots of laughs, love, and a little bit of action make Joyful Engagement one of my favorites of this series even though it's a bit shorter than the rest.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy.

    So much happens in this tale I would swear it was much longer. These characters are seriously dangerous but also witty and endearing. Scarlet, Tate, and Roman have been working together and socializing and built quite a rapport. Will this be a three way one night stand? Only the Grand Master knows.

    Tate Greene, former Marine. Harvard grad student, German Philosophy. One of Harrison's Warrior Scholars, or henchman, as he likes to think of himself, has been sent on a mission to South Carolina.
    The Grand Master has him and his two partners making a delivery to Dr Selene Tanaka, well her favorite cousin, Roman has a delivery for her. He has a delivery for their former enemy, bomb maker, Luca Campisi. Now a Trinity Master member. Their delivery is guaranteed to trigger the very volatile and unpredictable Oscar Hayden to extreme measures. Tate really should have brought his gun.
    Scarlet Hall, is an elite event planer. Sent with Tate and Roman, to retrieve essential items from the Hayden family home.
    Scarlet has back up plans for her back up plans. She didn't have a plan for Oscar's, Selene and Luca brand of crazy.
    Teaser, an escape proof bedroom, and the Baby Shark Song.
    A fun fast paced and steamy story.
    Loved Walt's plus 1. Can't wait for his story.

    Love, love, love these stories!!! What a joy to be engrossed in the series. I always want to go back to the beginning and reread all the books. Not a hardship in any way.

    Mari and Lila have done it again. Trinity Masters and Masters Admiralty series are seriously addictive. Of course now I can’t get Baby Shark out of my head.

    This one not only caught us up with Oscar, Luca, and Selene, but we got one of the Warrior Scholars. Two new characters and plenty of old friends to see again.

    Lots of laughs and a great escape!

    First - I love these 2 authors... and this series. I don't care if it's a novella or a novel. Tate, Roman and Scarlett are hilarious as is Selene, Oscar and Luca... and well Baby Shark will never be the same in my mind. There is just the right sense of humor and spice in this book. Highly recommend the entire series... you will not regret it.

    No plot spoilers.
    No potential triggers.
    I have loved this series since forever and this particular book is just delightful.
    There are some sex scenes, menage based, some swearing so, if you are prudish don't buy the book.
    Can't wait for Eric's story!
