Resumen del Editor

Clover Bradley was having the worst day of her life and then she got kidnapped. In her own home. Well, her empty and currently being renovated childhood home on the edge of Disciple, West Virginia and not her former cozy cottage on the grounds of the Dixie Yonder Hotel where she was working and thriving until that very morning. But it still counts and definitely makes her very bad day much worse.

But that’s not even the crazy part. The crazy part is that she’s falling for her kidnapper. A handsome man, if a little morally challenged, who is probably very dangerous and has threatened to kill her half a dozen times over the span of just one day, but what can one do? The attraction is there.

Riggs is just trying his best to stay out of prison. Which seems at odds with his current actions, but need-to-know nuances make all these nonsensical pieces fit. And even though Clover isn’t a model captive—she’s a complainer of the princess variety—he finds himself getting attached. If he hadn’t been forced to kidnap her to save his own hide, he could see a future where the two of them end up together.

So he figures… why not save her life by endangering her some more?

And she figures… well, it’s better than being left to rot in her own basement.

And that’s, of course, when things get interesting.

The Comfort in the Brave is an ironic twist of fate inbred to a really bad decision. It’s a captive romance turned ride-or-die in a crazy escape from Blackberry Hill—but this time Collin Creed isn’t coming to save anyone, he’s looking for revenge.

Spectacular

Julie never disappoints!! I love that this universe is going to just keep growing like the company but on its own path I can’t wait for more!!

Kidnapping with a Twist

So, Clover gets kidnapped from her childhood home, and things get *really* weird. She starts falling for her captor, Riggs, who is basically the opposite of a prince charming. It's a strange combo, but it works.

The book is a mix of romance and adventure, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. Clover and Riggs are both flawed characters, but they're super interesting to follow.

If you're looking for a fun and unique read, this is definitely worth checking out.

Great series.

Book 3 of a forever series This book is all about trust. It is Clover's story. In typical JA Huss fashion there are twists that I didn't see coming and really make the story interesting. The first two books were "sweet romance" and this story is slightly darker, Clover is kidnapped and Riggs threatens to kill her. Riggs has a history with Colin. Great story and fabulous narrators. Can't wait for the next three books.

Get on board

Please listen…AMAZING!!! This is the 3rd book of this on going series, that means yes many, many more to come. JA Huss is a captivating author.

Darker

I feel that my love for Riggs grew with Clovers. I really did not like him, but he redeemed himself. Great narration and all the new characters. can't wait for the next 3 but I am sure Ms. Huss you will keep us busy.

JA Huss does it Again

Book 3 was more like Julie's past books. We see the dark theme here emerge, and I am here for it! We still are in this fantastic new world that we apparently are going to live in forevermore. I must say that makes me so happy.

We meet A new MC, Riggs and we see Clover as well. From the first page you are hooked. The story starts and just launches off taking you on a wonderfully twisted journey. There is more than meets the eye with Riggs, well, that really applies to everyone in the Trinity and the Trinity itself. I still am not sure who can be fully trusted. The added story line here puts that all back in question.....again! We are seeing more layers peeled back exposing people and what we think is one way is flipped completely. Love that! We see our first loss of a character, enemies to lovers, a second chance theme and so much more. I am hooked and cannot wait for more of this world!

A Great Series

In this third installment of the Sacred Trinity series, we meet Lowyn's best friend, Clover. Clover is having a bad day, and when she gets to her family home in Disciple, her lousy day worsens. She finds a squatter in her house. Riggs is on a mission from one of the underground camps. He can't have Clover running to Lowyn, who will tell Collin about him. For self-preservation, Riggs takes Clover hostage and mistreats her until something clicks between them. Is it Stockholm syndrome or something more?

I love this world. There are so many great characters, both good and bad. Even though Riggs is a jerk initially, I knew he had a good heart in there somewhere. I love a "good" evil villain; it is even better when that villain is female. The story is a little darker than the first two books in the series. It pulled me in from the start and kept me turning the page and wanting more.

The Comfort in the Brave kept me on my toes. I knew something dreadful would happen from the beginning, but I didn't know what. Let's say I was on the right path but completely missed the left turn.

This story is for you if you are a fan of romance, suspense, and conspiracy theories. I must mention the audiobook while I'm here. I comment on every audio that Julie publishes on how she picks the perfect narrators for her stories. Well, she does it again. Samantha Summers and Robin Blake are perfect for Clover and Riggs. They are great storytellers and voice actors. These two added tremendously to my enjoyment of the book.

I can't wait for more in this series.

REALLY ENJOYED IT

The three enjoyable standalone interconnecting books in this fascinating Trilogy have been so charming and creative with great banter, interesting characters and all have good plot-lines. However, as Julie says in her EOBS, the future ones are going to be darker.. and hotter and so, as much as I’ve enjoyed all three books, I can’t wait to go dark with her. Clover and Rigg’s lite and fairly fun story had a wealth of charm as he dishes death threats yet travels miles to feed his smart-mouthed prisoner - all while she counts the hours, runs out of options, is sassy and tries but fails at seduction. Their relationship is very quick to develop and you’ve got to just go with the flow and short timeline to forever enjoying the banter, the fun and the creativity JA Huss weaves. The duet-style narration by Samantha and Robin fit the characters perfectly and their voice acting made this an easy and enjoyable listen.

Worth a credit? Yup, it was for me.

Captivating Morally Grey Suspenseful Romance

This is the 3rd book in the Sacred Trinity Series, it’s a standalone story, but the reader will definitely find more enjoyment from reading the other two books in order first to follow along with the all of the side character stories.

This story focuses on the Clover Bradley, Smart Mouth Heroine, a high society event planner, that’s been working in Virginia for the last seven years, at The Dixie Yonder hotel, and living in a small cozy cottage on the grounds. She grew up just outside of Disciple, West Virginia and bought her childhood mansion home, that’s she’s been renovating.

She’s having a terrible day, she’s been fired from her job, kidnapped by an intruder in her own home and now she is starting to have feelings for her captor and trying to understand why he’s really doing all of this, because she has a feeling that Riggs might be a good guy.

Riggs Russell, Morally Grey Hero, is holding a lot of secrets, he grew up down below Blackberry Hill, West Virginia in the tunnels. He is attracted to Clover and he finds himself growing more and more attached to her as each day passes & can start to actually see a life together with her and he knows that these are very dangerous thoughts to have, because Riggs has a job to do and there’s no room for error or complications, like Clover Bradley 💕

I’m a member of JA Huss Patreon, where she shares her stories with her members early so, I’ve been reading along a chapter at a time, which is incredibly difficult for a serious reader. I was able to finish reading this book when she gave us a final copy a few days ago.

I also listened to the audiobook on Audible and the narrator’s: Samantha Summers and Robin Blake and they both do an excellent job with their voices bringing you into this world.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I am definitely looking forward to reading more stories in this world full of action, intrigue, adventure and romance ♥️

Great world building from my favorite author

JA Huss is one of my favorite authors. She is great at building unique multilayered complex worlds. This book is no exception. The author has admitted that this is the last of the first 3 books in a “forever” book series. I can’t wait to see where this story goes next.

The narrators are excellent and I really enjoyed listening to this story.
