This was an interesting story with animated characters and a great love component.
Dilan spent time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Betrayed and thrown in prison, he had to figure out fast how to survive. Six months later, he’s back and seeks revenge upon his enemies. He’s ready for war and there is nothing that will diminish his will and his determination. Anna is the woman for whom he took a bullet. She is the one he ever loved, the one girl he’ll never forget. Anna was innocent and uncorrupted and Dilan felt that she deserved better than him, that’s why he decided to keep his distance from her.
But, they are still truly, deeply in love and soon Dilan realizes that without her, he stands no chance at all. His attachment to Anna is so strong that it’s impossible to forget her and stay away from her for one more minute. But as dangers mount, will he prove to be her surprise savior or her ultimate downfall?
I belong to you, Anna. I need you to understand that. I have since the first time I met you. Like I said before, this revenge I have is something I have to do. I need it, but I need you more.
I loved how Dilan was ready to do absolutely anything to keep Anna safe and close. We see Dilan go from cold and hard to kind and pleasant. Anna’s stubborn determination and inquisitive nature make her a likable heroine and the fact that she doesn’t cower is an additional plus. Anna wasn't willing to just sit around, she knew what she wanted and wasn’t settling for anything less. Anna was loyal, waiting months for the man she loved and refusing to let circumstances tear them apart.
The story was fast paced and full of danger. Some of the resolutions felt a bit easy, but I liked the characters and the plot. The Deliverance of Dilan is definitely a book that stands on its own and held my interest until the very end.

The Deliverance Of Dilan
Kathy Coopmans
4 stars
Dilan Levy is seeking revenge. He did his time for a crime he didn’t commit. Falling for a woman he cant have he sets the war into motion. A war he plans on finishing and winning but he has to protect Anna; his one and only love.
Anna Drexler cant forget the man who walked away from her. He said he didn’t want her but she knows he didn’t mean it. She knows he felt it to. What she doesn’t understand is why he walked away after being shot. Six months longing for a man she cant have. But Dilan is home. She knows he is going to be at the wedding and she is ready for him. He cant mean the things he said.
I read the first release in this series and then did not read Roan or Aidan so missing those two books left me somewhat confused. I didn’t really understand what was going on and I didn’t understand what had happened between the characters. I wish I had because I loved The Wrath of Cain.
This series has great characters but unless you read all of the books I don’t think you will get the full jest of what these characters have been through. Dilan was ruthless in acting as he did to keep Anna safe. He is cold as ice. The story is full of suspense and the boys are all back making this release a huge plus.
This family is loyal to the end. I loved the end .. there is not a cliffhanger but a warning of sorts … so having said that I need to go back and pick up Roan and Aiden so then Empire releases I am ready.
Thank you Kathy for the ARC. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

DILAN!!!! <——— Yep, that’s me shouting his name! Because really, if I don’t shout it here, how will he know I love him? I guess I’ll have to just tell everyone! Dilan Levy may have jumped to my favorite of all the Syndicate men! He’s a bit dark and broody but more so, he knows he loves Anna Drexler and he will do anything to be with her. Even if that means bring down a whole cartel (or at least try)!
First, let me say, please read the other Syndicate books before reading The Deliverance of Dilan. If you don’t you’ll be missing soooo much! And it’s more than worth the time spent in their world! Next, get ready for a whirlwind trip. There is so much going on here. Dilan and Anna have this insane connection. It’s white hot. She’s all love and light and he’s, well… not. But he knows what he wants and it’s her. She sees the good in Dilan, and it’s one of those things that just makes love—love! They both accept each other for who they are and love each other hard for it!
I could tell you all about the story—blood, guts, gore and more, but Kathy Coopmans draws you into these men and their lives with so much more. The mafia isn’t just about illegal activities and killing people. It’s about family first. And true to that, we find that in this book. If you’re like me, you will experience a myriad of emotions and you’ll feel whipped and exhausted but full of love at the end. In my book that’s the way a great story should make us all feel!
The Deliverance of Dilan is about family first and finding love in a dark world! I jumped in head first and came out with so many feelings! ~ Heather, 4 Dangerous stars

Before I start have to say that i absolutely love this series, however this wasn't my favorite book of the series.
Dilan Levy. The mysterious man
The man with a war to end.
Dilan , Dilan, Dilan the man who was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Two years he rotted in that cell. Two year and the man he was slowly disappeared from his soul and in its place came a man with revenge. A revenge that he just couldn't let go, not even for the woman that stole his heart!
He’s back to deliver his rightful revenge.
He's back in town, on a mission TO DESTROY!!
Anna Drexler.
He saved her life.
She fell in love with him at first sight. Knew in her soul that his man was it for him. Then horror struck them leaving her beaten and him taking a bullet for her.
For six months she pushed his memories away. Buried the love they thought they shared. Vowed to find a man that will cherish her, but nothing, absolutely nothing could erase him!
.
His face, his tattoos. His sinful body.
You have to give this to Kathy, her men rock your would just with her descriptions!
She's innocent, untouched, pure. No way can he taint her, but no way can he walk away again
Two people stand in their way.
A brother and a sister.
The Mexican Cartel.
The action in this book had my head spinning. You felt you were there with them fighting this war. I just found that it was to much over the tool at some places.
They started the war.
Let’s finish it.
The war was started the minute he took the fall. The troops assembled to get ready for battle. Good vs Bad. Who will wi? Who will survive. One thing is for sure he's playing to mother freaking win!

I absolutely love this series
Unfortunately this was not my favorite out of the 4 books but it was still very well written. I just think there could've been so much more to the story of Dilan. I am looking forward to the conclusion of the series in the next book

HOLY HOTTNESS!!! He delivered the charm, he delivered the heat, he delivered the passion, he delivered the revenge, he delivered the rest of heart on a silver platter to the woman who stole a piece of it when he first laid eyes on her AND his name is Dilan. This book swept me off my feet, I was already in love with the rest of his family and he always remained a bit of a mystery but now his story has been told and I fell in love all over again.
Dilan was sent to prison for a crime he didnt commit and he only has 2 things on his mind.
1ST ~ He wants revenge on the people who set him up. This is his fight and he dost want his family involved they have been through enough.
2ND ~ Annabella, the girl he walked away from 6 months ago because he knew she deserved better.
After the events 6 mths ago Dilan knew he had to walk away. He heard the conversation between Anna and her girlfriend and he knew she was innocent pure in its finest form. What could he offer her he was angry and had just been shot. She had been mixed up in the whole event and he knew if he spoke to her she would make him stay.
Anna hasnt seen Dilan for 6 months, she is struggling to move on but with the help of her friends and family she has grown, she is stronger and she knows more about the life and the danger that would surround her if she was ever get the chance to be with him. With a family wedding coming up she knows she will see Dilan again and she goes all out to show him exactly what he is missing out on.
Things dont exactly go to plan for either of them. Dilan turns up with a beauty on his arm and Anna is crushed, but she can take her eyes off him or his date, It is down to this reason how she saves his life for now but also becomes a target. Dilan didnt want things to go down like this but now his family are involved and they will will stand beside him whilst he fights. He also now has a reason to go to Anna, he has to protect her.
Anna isnt the same woman he walked away from all that time ago she is stronger, more vibrant and definitely the sole owner of his heart and he has alot of making up to do. With them coming together, they are explosive, they are passionate and the love between them is raw. They are quick to lay all the cards on the line and are on the right line to becoming the hottest couple ever but danger is coming for them in more ways that one.
With the shit hitting the fan quickly everyone is up against the clock to get their HEA.
Its fast paced, drama filled and edge of your seat reading, but you wouldnt have these men any other way.
Kathy Coopmans you have done it again This is a series that just keeps giving and I will willingly take!!!

As a reviewer it is reviews like that one I am about to type that are sometimes the hardest ones to write. Bad reviews or outstanding reviews are easier to write then when a book you had such high expectations for ends up being just okay to you. Now is just being just okay a bad thing? No it isn’t but what it is, is a hard review to write.
Let me straight up acknowledge that there is a lot going on in this book and I think, in a way, it over shadowed Dilan and Anna’s storyline. Don’t get me wrong I loved the twists and turns but I think if some of the lessor dramas had been taken out it would have worked for the story better. I loved Dilan, I loved how he cared so much for his family and was willing to throw his own happiness away to not only protect them but get his revenge at the same time. Dilan is so much more than what you think he will be, I want to say on one hand he is softer but on the other just as, if not more, blood thirsty than the rest of the guys when it comes to certain things and people.
I sadly will admit that I had a huge issue with Anna. I tried to connect with her on any level and I couldn’t. I don’t know if it was the whole totally and completely innocent from never being even kissed thing or the way one minute she was tough but the next wishy washy. I don’t want to say that I hated her character because that wasn’t it, I honestly just could connect with her and I think that is one more reason why this book out of all of them is my least favorite.
The Deliverance Of Dilan may not be my favorite book in this series, but overall it was still an okay read that fed my addiction, at least temporarily, for this series. You will want to read the book for Dilan alone, trust me he will have you loving him and wanting him in every way.

Damn! Kathy has done it again with the Deliverance Of Dilan! We all have been waiting for this book and she didn't disappoint. From the start to the finish you will see the twisted, the ugly, and a love story involve in this Mafia family. We get to catch up with the other Syndicate Series characters and fall in love with them some more. This story is a stand alone but I highly recommend reading the whole series.
Dilan and Anna story you will see the war of emotions and for the storyline it continues to get twisted. I really had a love/hate relationship with Dilan at the beginning but by the end, I was glad to see the loving qualities back.

Dilan disappeared six months ago after saving Anna's life. She knows she should move on, but she can't forget the man she's in love with.
Dilan wants Anna but he wants revenge more. He will stop at nothing in taking out the deadly Cartel's brother and sister who are responsible for the time he spent in jail for a crime he didn't commit. He should have considered what would happen to those he cares about when he started his plans. The Cartel seems to always be one step ahead and Dilan may be too late to save the one person he realizes he can't live without.
This is the fourth book in the Syndicate Series and sadly it's my least favorite. I loved getting to see all of the other characters from the previous books. I enjoyed watching Anna and Dilan finally connect. My problem was Dilan's and Anna's lengthy and immature inner/outer dialogues. Some of what they say is just so cheesy and causes major eye rolling. It's like high school kids throwing insults, especially when they're communicating with Jazmin and Juan. These are supposed to be feared members of the Mob and the Cartel. I can't imagine either would realistically waste so much time threatening what they're going to do, instead of just getting on with it.
The ending gets everything back in line and was sweet. We're told there will be one more book entitled Empire which is set to release in the Fall. I'm curious who this last book will be about and look forward to reading it.

He should have considered what would happen to those he cares about when he started his plans. The Cartel seems to always be one step ahead and Dilan may be too late to save the one person he realizes he can't live without.
This is the fourth book in the Syndicate Series and sadly it's my least favorite. I loved getting to see all of the other characters from the previous books. I enjoyed watching Anna and Dilan finally connect. My problem was Dilan's and Anna's lengthy and immature inner/outer dialogues. Some of what they say is just so cheesy and causes major eye rolling. It's like high school kids throwing insults, especially when they're communicating with Jazmin and Juan. These are supposed to be feared members of the Mob and the Cartel. I can't imagine either would realistically waste so much time threatening what they're going to do, instead of just getting on with it.
The ending gets everything back in line and was sweet. We're told there will be one more book entitled Empire which is set to release in the Fall. I'm curious who this last book will be about and look forward to reading it.

So with this being the second book in The Syndicate Series I have reviewed, I am seeing a definite style to Coopmans writing. She loves Alpha Men (we do too) and strong women, rather face paced story lines and lots of interwoven characters.
I had a hard time at the beginning of this book keeping up with all the different crime families and the multitude of characters being thrown at me at once. All the main guys, and their wives and girlfriends along with the villain and villainess are all together at a wedding and there was lots of action in the first quarter of the book.
The entire book is face paced and has some pretty gory language when it comes to methods of killing each other. It is a mob/crimes family story so what do you expect? It also has some pretty hot, naughty sex scenes which Coopmans is known for, so no disappointment there! Dilan and Anna are hot hot hot….
I will spoil and say there is no cliffy and a HEA, so you’re welcome! ;)

Revenge is the name of the game in this new book by Kathy, and this series just keeps getting better and better.
Dilan spent time in prison for a crime he didn't commit, setup by another family. He is hell bent on revenge and bringing that family down. After previous events in the last books Dilan has disappeared from from his family and the one woman that has his heart. This is all in aide of exacting revenge. Coming back after six months away has not stopped his feelings for Anna, seeing her at the wedding of his cousin, brings it all back, but also puts her in danger.
Anna was left broken hearted after Dilan left and she never believed the words that came from him before he left. Seeing him at the wedding, brings trouble that she doesn't realise. She advertently puts herself in the path of danger.
A read, full of violence, kidnapping, love and some really hot scenes, what more can you ask for?

another great installment in the Syndicate Series. Dilan does not disappoint!
Yet again Kathy manages to pull you into the story right from page one. I've been dying to see just exactly what Dilan was up to at the end of the previous book. Luckily she didn't take too long into this book to explain.
One of my favourite thing a book boyfriend can do is be completely smitten with his lady. and Dilan is so in love with Anna Drexler. Even when he thinks he cant have her he is head over heels for her.
I was glad to hear this wasn't going to be the final book in the series. I'm not ready to say goodbye to this family just yet.

I was really nervous about this one. At the end of the previous book Dilan has shown up to his cousin’s wedding with a woman in tow. This is after he has told Anna just how much she should stay away from him and he doesn’t want anything but sex from her. Of course then he was shot and she was kidnapped. Now here we are at the wedding and he has brought the enemy. I have to say that I loved his mother’s reaction! She was ready to cut that chick’s throat. I was nervous that it was going to take forever for Dilan to figure out that Anna was where he belonged but it didn’t. In fact right form the beginning he knows he should be with her but he has this whole revenge thing going on and doesn’t want her drawn into it.
Little does he know that one she is already being stalked by the crazy chick’s brother and that Anna will put herself right into that chick’s path to save Dilan. Anna tried to forget Dilan but her heart wouldn’t allow it. Even when everyone told her to give up on him, including him. She knew that deep down he felt something for her. So when the time came she forgave him and did everything she could to protect the family (as in mafia.) In fact when the women are kidnapped she willing goes with the nut job in order to free the others. Dilan and Anna are so perfect together and they have a strength to them that allowed them to survive all the things they did. They came out of it all even stronger and are closer because of it.
The ending left me a little worried because it is setting up the final book of the series As always Kathy Coopmans has created characters that draw you in. You find that you feel for them even though they are in fact mafia. You can see in your mind’s eye the struggles they have. That takes a truly talented author to give their readers that gift.

Dilan is on a mission. He has a revenge plan and he is determined to see it out to the very end. He will not ever give up on his mission. He was wronged, his family was also wronged and he will not ever let it go until every single person who wronged his family has paid for their mistake. The dedication that Dilan has is in a huge entity. He has so much anger and bitterness to deal with as he carries out this revenge.
He tried to stay away from the woman that he loves called Anna but he couldn’t. He kept being drawn to her and he knew he shouldn’t be with her. His heart was saying one thing and his head was saying something different. I love Dilan, despite the fact that he’s hell-bent on revenge, he is also struggling to stay away from Anna. His heart is good though even though he wants revenge. Anna makes him want a better life for himself.
He wants to be with her but he also needs revenge. It is a deep desire for him to see justice done for the wrongs he had to face as well as the wrongs that his family had to face. I have no words for how much I adore him. I loved that Roan, and the other men just decided to support him in the mission. All for one and one for all in a way.
Anna, what can I say, she is easily misunderstood in this book. She’s sweet but she has a different side to her also. I love her heart, sass, feistiness and determination throughtout the whole of this book. She’s a character not to be messed with. She may be hit and miss with some people but for me she’s just misunderstood.
The drama throughout this book, oh I have no words other than this is a really good book to read, the journey and the tension. I love how it played out, the pacing was accurate for me and it’s my favourite of the entire series to date. The family loyalty was the selling point and this book just reinforces my love for the series as well as the characters.
4 stars

The Deliverance of Dilan is the 4th book of The Syndicate Series and like the other books in this series, this one didn’t disappoint, it's absolutely fantastic. To understand this story you have to read the other books because they are interrelated.
This is the story of Dilan and Anna; throughout the book their point of view are alternated.
Dilan has a purpose at this time, a planned revenge against those who damage his life and badly treated him, and to achieve his goal he is willing to give up of the love of his life so that she can survive and not be dragged into this life of crime and corruption, he is willing to do everything to be able to protect her.
Anna dreams of being able to have the happily ever after with the love of her life, but when he rejects her she is devastated, she doesn’t believe in his cruel words, but when all the evidence are against the best is to give up and move on.
But when you love what we do? Fight or forget? To what extent are we willing to go to protect the ones we love? How far can the power shape the character of a person? How far can go the madness of a man?
In this book the family, loyalty, love, revenge and corruption are highlighted. As in the other books, the suspense and drama are at their highest level. Not knowing what will happen next almost took me to madness, because I was always waiting the worst, the most terrible news, believe me, this story is not suitable for people with heart problems, lol.
One thing is certain; the hot scenes are perfect, because hallucinatory eroticism in each of them leaves us speechless.
Kathy Coopmans the way you place your soul in every word you write, the way you describe each scene thoroughly make us fall in love with your books, makes us live each scene as if we were part of the book.

First came Cain, then you fell in love with Roan, then your heart swooned for Aiden and now your soul is owned by Dilan! Kathy Coopmans gave such an epic "deliverance" of this book that it was so unbelievably hard to put down. This novel is jam packed with love, action and family. You really do get a sense of family throughout this one as family takes care of their own no matter the situation.
As I read along in the first few chapters, I really wanted to smack Dilan, but as things came to light as to the reasonings, I could not blame him. Poor Anna. She was so innocent before coming into this but spending time with the mob gives you a back bone and oh boy does she EVER get one. She totally lets everything fly. These two together are explosive. Both mentally and physically. They match each other at every level.
I have to say I really really love the crime family aspect to this story and the research that Coopmans has put behind it. She really gives such an amazing storyline with description and back stories that it really captivates you as you read. And oh boy can she ever write a crazy family too. Jazmin and Juan are a whole new level of nuts and they play great villains in this novel.
Overall, I cannot express my love for this series. I seriously cannot get enough of Coopmans writing and these sexy hot mob men that she keeps giving us! Dilan has totally captured my heart as well has the other men in this series. She writes such epic leading ladies that you can't help but love each and every one of them. So click fast and devour this one... and grab the rest while you are at it!

I've come to the conclusion that I never want this series to end. If it's even possible, each book gets better and better. Anna Drexler is is love with the mysterious Dilan, but after he takes a bullet for her, he disappears. For six long months, she hasn't heard a word from him, so she's trying her best to forget him. When he shows up for a family wedding with another woman, her heart is broken all over again. Dilan Levy has the burning desire for revenge above all else. After doing time for a crime he didn't commit, he's ready to take down the man who set him up, so he can be the man Anna deserves. But will he be able to protect her from the Mexican Cartel before it's too late?
HOLY INTENSITY BATMAN! This book started with a bang, and it never slowed down. The character development is absolutely fantastic, with a seriously hot cast of secondaries. A fast paced, exciting, and very well written storyline flows perfectly. Flammable chemistry FINALLY EXPLODES into FIERY FLAMES of sexy scene goodness that will disintegrate panties everywhere. Kathy Coopmans has a brilliant, but diabolical, writing style that kept my heart racing cover to cover. The way she weaves together twists and turns, make for intense OMG moments, that I never see coming, plus she never fails to bring out my girly girl emotions to the forefront, and this story is no exception. This is one of my very favorite crime family series of all time, and I hope she never fully stops writing about them! Bottom line, I FREAKIN' HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5 Stars!
This author completely rocks and has quickly become a favorite of mine. Each book I have read by her has been amazing and completely captivated me. But this book right here might just be her best to date. This author gave us suspense, the mafia, some steam, and one alpha male who will make you swoon hard. This series continues to get better and better with each book so hold on for a ride that won't soon be forgotten.
I loved this book... every piece, every part of this book. It captivated me from the very start. This book was gritty, suspenseful, sexy, intense, passionate, edgy, and completely hot. This book will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end and then you will be stalking the author... begging for more. This was a book that has stuck with me since I read a few weeks ago and definitely one of my top read of this year, 2016, for me.
This is Dilan and Anna's story. Revenge. Murder. Sacrifice. Dilan is on mission to right the wrongs from his past and if it means keeping everything a secret and pushing the one he loves away, then that is what he has to do. Sweet. Loyal. Forgiving. Anna owes Dilan her life. She is in love with him but he doesn't seem interested. He pushed her away. Lust. Love. Passion. Dilan and Anna are in for one he!! of a ride to their happy endings.
I highly recommend this book.

I absolutely ADORED The Deliverance of Dilan! It was the perfect blend of drama, romance, sex & violence. It had all of my favorite characters from the past books & featured my new favorite couple, Dilan & Anna.
Dilan was so. Damn. Sexy. He was a total Alpha male; incredibly protective, loving, possessive & confident. Not to mention his bad boy tattoos, muscles & filthy mouth. *le sigh* The way he worshipped & loved Anna was beautiful. I truly couldn't get enough of him.
Speaking of the worship & love that Anna received from Dilan... I think I loved the way that Dilan described her best: "Thoughtful. Wicked and dangerous in her own way. Downright sexy. Her giant heart beating inside of her is the sexiest part about her. It's big. Strong. Compatible with mine. She's tough." I loved how Anna supported Dilan in his quest for vengeance & how well she fit into his "family". She was amazing!
The danger & the bad guys in this book made things super exciting. I loved how the war went down (although there's obviously a much bigger one on the horizon) & just how gritty it got. But, I'm a little nervous because of what Juan Carlos said, or rather didn't get to say, to Dilan later on...
The news at the very end... The series finale coming this Winter?! "More threats. More murder. One death. One family." Good gods! CANNOT WAIT to get my hot little hands on EMPIRE!! :)

NAILED IT! That is what comes to mind when I think about this book. Kathy Coopmans takes you away to another world when she writes, and that is what reading is supposed to do. This is the fourth book in the Syndicate Series and should really be read in order so you get the whole story behind the characters and what is going on.
When we left book 3, Dilan was shot, and took off to Lord only know where. Anna was left alone with the rest of the family to pick up the pieces of her heart.
When Dilan comes crashing back into Anna’s life, let’s just say it is in true Kathy form, HOT ALPHA Male. He had an agenda and was hell bent on carrying it out no matter who or what got in his way.
Anna continues to impress me with her steel resolve, and huge heart. She is the perfect woman for Dilan, and once they realize that the pages will burn.
The story in between is what really sets this aside from all others, the mob, the Mexican cartel, the Russian’s, this book has it all and does not disappoint in the action. It is not for the faint of heart that is for sure.
The Syndicate Series is epic in keeping you on the edge of your seat and Dilan is right there with the rest of them. I think of the four, this is my favorite, I think I said that about all of them, but really this one is IT! I have to say I want to give this one 10 Stars! Really!!

I swear this series of books keeps getting better and better. All of these books have a perfect mix of violence and romance. I enjoy the brotherhood and closeness they have including their wives. What I really love about these books is while the men are strong and kick some serious butt, the women are equally strong yet sweet. They are very protective of their men and vice versa. This book was no different then the others, you have the violence, kidnapping and the romance including smokin hot sex! Dilan and Anna are perfect for each other. I swear these two complement each other so well. Sparks fly between these two and it doesn't help that Dilan saved her life.
Dilan is out for vengeance and won't stop for anyone to get it. He almost destroys his cousin wedding in the process. Anna, on the other hand, is moving on from Dilan leaving but it isn't that easy. The attraction is still there and when danger use in the air, they are forced to be together. Passions and emotions are high... Anna sees a side of Dilan that most people don't. They have a very strong connection. Both of them prove how strong they can be apart and together. I can't say enough about how much I love this series of books and this by far is the best one yet. I think I have a new favorite couple with Dilan and Anna!

They have a very strong connection. Both of them prove how strong they can be apart and together. I can't say enough about how much I love this series of books and this by far is the best one yet. I think I have a new favorite couple with Dilan and Anna!

The Deliverance of Dilantin is the perfect example of why we love mafia books! Even when we know they live a shady life we love and support them because of how loyal they are when there is love and respect, and how fierce they love when there is trust. There is nothing hotter than an alpha mafia man staking claim on his woman.
There was never a question of love, respect, or trust because Dilan Levy strongly felt them all for Anna Drexler. He just could not risk her life to get the revenge he needed on the man responsible for having him setup to go to prison, or for the other man that made his life in prison a complete nightmare. However, Anna speaks up when she sees Dilan's life is in danger and makes herself a target. His plan go to hell from there and the family then works together as one to eliminate the threat and seek the justice that Dilan so desperately needs. Will Anna be able to forgive Dilan for casting her aside the way he did? Will love overcome the pain and humiliation that she has been made to live with for the last six months?
Katy did an amazing job with this book, constantly keeping us on our toes with just the right amount of love, sex, drama, and action. This is one of my favorite series...I cannot wait for more.

Well. This book had the most action and suspense as the previous from this series, but it ended up being my least favorite. Each book has followed the same formula with only the villains changing. I hoped for a bit of freshness with each new book.
I did like Anna. She a very strong heroine. Her strength was evident in Aiden's book and holds strong in this one when she's put in danger. She feisty and shows more strength the more danger she faces.
Dilan was the typical alpha. And after meeting him in the previous stories, his mystery drew me in and I hoped for a great story for him. I was looking forward to this book, but the writing in this one kept me from really enjoying it.
Great writing has a way of conveying feeling through the power of word. Metaphors and analogies are used to help with that, but excessive use turns me off. There was a page where four metaphors were used for one action and feeling and I literally rolled my eyes at that.
I'd also like to add that books 2-4 are in need editing. There were way too many misspelled words, incomplete words and grammatical errors for having been out as long as they have been; however, my rating is not based on these factors. It is merely a strong suggestion.

They started a war let's finish it.
The blurb of this book pretty much sums it up.
Dilan is out for revenge and right from the very start it jumps into the plotting and his need for a vendetta.
I read this as a standalone, I haven't read previous books but felt there were pieces of the whole picture and puzzle missing and at points I got lost and couldn't get my barings so in the whole I wasn't gripped to the story. Advisable to read previous books first.
Anna, I'm not sure about her character she was strong and confident one minute then like a wet lettuce the next, insecure, to forgiving and needy, your either one or the other.
Lots of action, kidnappings, angst, danger, bloodshed and hot bedroom action so lovers of this in a plot won't be disappointed.
Slow and confusing start but picked up as the plot went deeper and the action began.
Will have to read previous books to fully understand and appreciate this read.

In The Deliverance of Dilan we finally get Dilan and Anna's story. FINALLY.
Dilan's life right now if fueled by pure need for revenge. Fueled more than the raging need to claim the woman he loves but right now...cant have. After Dilan took bullets saving Anna's life he disappeared with out a word, only to reappear at Cain's wedding with the daughter of the enemy clinging to his arm and without a word to Anna, crushing what was left of her heart after 6 long month's of silence. At a turn of events where Anna essentially returns the life saving favor to Dilan, things change. Anna is now a target of some very dangerous people and Dilan will d anything to keep her safe...and in his arms.
This is my confession: Dilan is probably by far my favorite in the Syndicate series, which says a lot because they are all great in their own right. Dilan just has that extra...something. Anna? She's equally great and a perfect heroine for the big broody Hero

This series is definitely my all-time favourite, and that, believe me, is a high accolade with the amount of books I read. Revenge is at the core of this storyline, revenge for past crimes, revenge for stolen love, and revenge between two mafia families. Kathy Coopmans knows how to write about alpha men and she has done it again here with Dilan, he stole my heart. However, with these alpha men, comes equally brave and strong woman. Anna is all of those things and deserves Dilan and his love, she certainly proves her place in this family. Well done Kathy Coopmans your writing just gets better and better. I am in awe of you. This book gets an easy 5 stars!!!

Dilan.........this is his war. But Dilan's war turns into everyone's nightmare.
Dilan left Anna thinking she was pure and innocent. Maybe she was but she has been stewing in her own mind for 6 months, getting stronger and wiser...'it's you who needs to catch up'. I loved that! You take what you want sister!
But prepare yourselves ladies, not only is Dilan as dirty as I hoped he would be, but the ending.... you have literally got to be shitting me. No cliffy, but those last 3 lines....what a tease! I need Empire NOW not Winter 2016!

really enjoyed this book, it was an all action book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Dilan Levy is sex on legs. I think having Lance Jones on the cover brings Dilan to life in a most positive way.
Anna and Dilan have a chemistry that is off the charts! I loved this book and I am now going to go back and read the rest of the series because if this book is anything to go by then I am missing out!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I give this book 4 pink stars!
