About the author
N.M. Catalano
24 books500 followers"I am just a woman, like many of you, who has lived through beauty and ugliness, happiness, (sometimes extreme), and sadness, (sometimes heart wrenching), and have grown to love life and myself even more. I write because I love the characters, I am madly and hopelessly in love with them and want to share them with you. Life is beautiful and is meant to be enjoyed day by day, sometimes you have to pick out the good stuff with a magnifying glass like a needle in a haystack, but enjoyed none the less. The stories that I put on paper, I think, help us to find that enjoyment a little bit more."

He is her salvation, her hope, her today and hopefully her tomorrow.
Gringo is the third soldier in the Program, a covert organisation which is compromised of the deadliest and most ruthless mercenaries this planet has to offer. This novel is his story... one where he suffers from the nightmares of his sorry past... ones that he can't seem to escape from and tortures himself with. Only one woman has managed to penetrate his soul and heart but... she is married to someone else extremely powerful and corrupt... thus not his to claim. The heart, though, wants what the heart wants and he owns her in silence and will move heaven and earth to protect her. "Tortured" is NOT your run of the mill romance... Hell No! It's sizzling hot to a point of INFERNO... you have been warned... PROCEED WITH CAUTION! N.M. Catalano does not do light romance... definitely NOT her M.O.! She will grip all your senses and thrust passion with so much force you will be gasping for air! She lives up to her reputation as the Queen Of Eroica... in my book. 5 Possessive Stars for two lost souls seeking salvation.

5+ amazing stars! Tread cautiously, as you're about to enter Gringo's world. Here is a man haunted and tortured by his bleak past and living a bare-knuckled existence with little regard for anyone else's needs. He does his job with The Program and does it well, a stone-cold, efficient mercenary. He cares for little else beyond his job. That is, except for Sasha, who awakens the beast in him and makes him unleash his unholy passions on her, with her, and in her. TORTURED will have your heart thrown into high gear with its powerfully raw pain, its gritty action, and the off-the-charts magnetic attraction between Gringo and Sasha.
You'll love them, hate them and scream at them throughout the book. You'll cringe with them as they endure and feed each other's agony, yet cheer for them as they find solace and perhaps redemption in each other's arms. Their story isn't over, and I'm waiting for more with baited breath! I loved it!

O! M! G! This book! That ending!!! I want, no, I NEED more! I was on the edge of my seat almost the whole story. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, yet didn't want the story to end. I loved learning more about Sasha and Gringo. Wasn't a fan of Sasha from the other books, but not everything is what you think, and I get her now and really love her for Gringo. And learning about Gringo's past, the title is very fitting for both him and Sasha. I love the chemistry between all these guys and their special ladies and the special tight brother hood that the guys have with each other. We get a little peek at the chemistry between Bull and his special someone, and it made me want this next book and his story so much more! I can't wait to see what happens next!!

After I had finished this book I sat and stared into space with my mind screaming "OMG, THIS CANNOT BE OVER". I didn't know whether to jump for joy about the fact that Gringo and Sasha's story was so mind blowing amazing or scream and cuss because it was over. N.M. Catalano can certainly write like a word wizard! Every story that this author writes just stays with me for days and Tortured will be no exception. I feel certain it will actually stay with me until the next book is in print. I love all the men of The Program. I love the way they each have their issues and find women to fight the demons inside themselves. I could not pick a favorite if I tried, because my love for all of them runs so deep. Tortured is Gringo's story and what a story it ends up being. He is a tortured soul with so much self loathing and remorse. He hides all that emotion behind a facade of ice cold distance, until he spends time with Sasha. We met Sasha in Canvas and again in Breathe where it becomes apparent that Gringo has it bad for his lady, no matter how hard he tries to shrug his feelings off. He tells himself that he is doing all he does to help her, but in reality she is healing him at the same time. This is a steamy, sexy love story with a twist at the end that I did not see coming. I actually think N.M Catalano took the name of the book Tortured just a bit far, because I am being TORTURED as I write this review with wanting to know......... Yes this is exactly how I feel hanging by my fingertips wanting more. I would give this book 10 big fat stars if that were possible. I can't say enough good things about this series and I HIGHLY recommend getting started right now.

Can one senseless act of violence irrevocably alter one's soul?
Are you bad...damaged beyond redemption?
Are you destined to be chased by the demons for the rest of your days?
Tortured by the darkness until only slivers of light remain and even then, are you undeserving?
This is Gringo's story.
The Program and the missions are his life.
Rock, Snake and Bull are his brothers, his family, their bond is unbreakable.
But things are different now, this mission...it's personal. His brothers are finding love and light.
And then, there's Sasha. He sees her...he feels her light, but that is not his life...at least it wasn't until someone made the mistake of trying to extinguish the only light he's felt in a very long time.
If you're not reading The Program series I highly recommend you get started.
Tortured is book 3, the series must be read in order because the author is leading us to an epic climax. The ending is a nosedive off a cliff, going 60mph around a curve, and will leave you with a huge book hangover...you've been warned.

is an absolute understatement -
You know how they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions - for Gringo his road was finalized a long time ago💔
Now he is just playing with his demons- biding his time till the final curtain call
This is His story -Unrestrained - Primitive - RAW
Who is Gringo?
He is death cloaked as a shadow that passes in the corner of your eye
He is the darkness that serenely envelopes your soul - leaving no evidence of his consumption
He is justice and he has no qualms about doing what is needed to get what he wants -
But-
Just when you think you think he is lost -
consumed by his darkness -
scarcely a hint of light passes through the shadows in his eyes - Just enough that you see the man behind the monster and you understand that his need for retribution - it becomes justified - Real
What does he want?
He wants his woman -
And may the gods hear your cries of mercy if he finds you have laid harm to her - because he will not...
This story promises to test the limits of your emotions-
from love to hate - from understanding to condemnation-
This ends on a cliffhanger - but trust me when I tell you - it is worth every cliff-hanging -nail breaking moment

I just love these tough, rough M/C bad group of guys. Each one has their own demons to slay, yet each guy seem to be upstanding and right the wrongs as they see fit. In this book we learn about Gringo and what set him on the Dark path he now lives. The steamy erotic scenes are fan-worthy. Sasha is an unfortunate victim in a path chosen by everyone but her. I personally hated her in the other books but felt sorry for her now. I appreciated the author adding more of the English cockney speaking aunt Primrose. She had me in stitches to see these tough bikers cringe and blush in her presence. They all find it hard to not listen and to tell her the truth, especially when she pulls Gringo's ear to get him to smarten up. That was hilarious. Of course, I would be amiss if I did not mention the WTF I cursed at Nadine at the ending leaving me hanging.

N M CatalanoTortured,
They say , "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" and we certainly found out that for Gringo "There are lots of fucking bricks on his road".
OMG, I just finished reading Tortured and here I am pacing and internally shouting WHAT ? I NEED MORE! This book is fast-paced , rousing, intense , gripping ,unpredictable and full of intrigue , it takes up where Breathe concluded and it tells Gringo and Sasha story. It digs into their past and what happened to them to be who they are now.
This is an erotic, passionate and hot love story; they don't call N.M. Catalano the Queen of Erotica for nothing . I even think my kindle might have melted a little bit while I was reading this book; yes, it is that scorching hot.
Reading 'Tortured' was a pleasure. N.M Catalano has created in the men of The Program Series enduring imperfect heroes , you love , want to get to know and crave for more. I can not wait to read the 4th book in this amazing series, Bull's story.
This is a must read book. You will love it from beginning to end and you won't be able to put the book down.

NM Catalano did it again! The Program series just keeps on getting better with each book! This book was full of heart ache, brokenness, love and self exploration. NM takes two broken souls and melds them into one. Their hurts, sorrows and lives clash in a way that only they can save each other.
Gringo is a broken soul full of darkness and self loathing. He hates who he is and what he has become. He believes that he isn't worthy of love and a happily ever after, especially with Sasha. Throughout the book we see him battle with his ghosts and demons. The past always seems to catch up with him darkening his soul. The only time he ever feels peace and silence from his own thoughts is when he is with Sasha.
"I wasn't supposed to get attached. Every one of those things was shot to hell the minute I tasted her. At first she became a rabid hunger. More and more was never enough. I lied to myself shrugging it off saying she was a distraction, a toy, a plaything. She kept coming back, but the truth was I would have sought her out if she hadn't knowing I wasn't supposed to. Then she became my addiction, I had to have her, taking whatever I could get." -Gringo
When they are together it is like fire and ice. They come together to make one but when they are fighting with their inner selves they turn into an inferno that can't be put out without each other.
Sasha seems like a woman who has it all together. What the world doesn't see is that she wakes up every day to play a role of a trophy wife. She lost herself a long time ago. Sasha has no idea who she is and what she is a capable of until Gringo crashes into her life. When she is with Gringo her whole world is put together. Her fake life doesn't exist and she is able to bring out her true self. The more time they spend together the more her life starts to have meaning and purpose. Sasha is full of strength and power that she doesn't know she possesses. Gringo brings that out in her through his love, affection, and appreciation for who she is. He loves her for all her flaws, her brokenness and her wounded soul. She tries hard to become the woman she was always meant to be but every time she gets close someone is always there to knock her down.
"And just when you think things couldn't get any worse, life sends you what you've always wanted but can never have. A man who owns you in silence. A man who captivates you with strength. A man who whispers danger and darkness. A man who will possess you the way you want to be possessed." -Sasha
"There 's a quietness to Gringo that elicits fear, a silent danger that wraps around you, a power that consumes you. He is the devil you sell your soul to. I have. Willingly. There's no undoing it." -Sasha
I fell in love with these two characters. I felt what they felt. I fought with them and for them throughout the book. I felt their inner struggles and their fight to survive. These two characters make something so dark turn into something so beautiful. Being able to give yourself to someone without hesitation and trusting them with your heart is not easy. I was able to relate to them in so many ways. It shows me that no matter what you are fighting in your life and what you have gone through there is always someone there willing to bring out the best in you and to pick you up piece by piece until you are whole again.

I cannot say how much I love this series. I love everyone of these men's tortured souls and the woman that lets them see the light. This is Gringo's story and he feels he is not worthy of anyone or anything good in his life and bows to those demons that consume his every waking and sleeping moment until he meets Sasha and something breaks the ice melting little by little off his frozen heart really helping each other with not even knowing and we get to see a peek of the man behind that monster he think he is and Sasha is able to accomplish that.
I wasn't sure if I liked Sasha from when we were introduced to her but knowing now some of her history it floored me. I loved seeing all the characters back together again YAY!!! and something big is going down and you will never see this group of men coming until its to late.
This is amazing series and believe me it will stick with you for a long time after you have devoured it.

Gabriel "Gringo" and Sasha are a volatile, explosive couple. They both have tortured pasts and reasons for doing things. I feel so emotionally wrung out after reading this book. A warning this book does end on a cliffhanger. I will definitely be looking forward to the next book.
I received an arc and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I just loved reading this book! Each of these amazing guys has their own messed up past and demons to deal with. I actually felt bad for Sasha in this one and I loved Mrs. Merriweather!! She is hilarious. After that ending I hope Mrs. Catalano is writing the next book quickly!!! Loved it!

Tortured is the third book in N.M Catalano's The Program series and just when you thought it couldn't get any hotter she decided to prove us wrong. This book is fast paced and full of intrigue as it picks up where Breathe left off. These hot men keep you guessing and are damn sexy while doing it.
This book focuses on Gringo and Sasha and explores their past and somewhat disfunctional relationships. I was all set to dislike Sasha but her backstory, wow, didn't see that coming. And Gringo or should I say Gabriel [sigh], honestly I think I might love him best now.
I love where this series is going, the fact that this overarching story has been building from Page 1 of Canvas. The tension is building and the pieces are starting to fit into place. The writing ... N.M Catalano you are amazing. I just can not put your books down.
The ending OMG ... TORTURED ... yes I will be until the next book comes out 😭😭😭
What a place to end it. I sat there shell shocked, unable to believe you would do this to us. Would I read it anyway - yes in a heartbeat!!!
Add this to your TBR, it's a must read. How could you want to miss out on the sexiest and most misunderstood of these men.

I love this series♡Loved Gringo and Sasha.Cant wait till Vengeance ♡
February 15, 2018
This is Gringo's story he can't escape from his past, he suffers with nightmares about thing that he has done & is very remorseful. Gringo is in love though the object of his affection Sasha is married to another, but this will not stop him from getting what he wants. This book tells the story of both of their pasts and present. Wow what a read Nadine is a fantastic writer & my god she knows how to write one hell of a sex scene. I found this book a rollercoaster of emotions & loved it. I for one can't wait to see what's next what an ending.
February 19, 2018
I cannot put into words about this book. I loved it, hated it, wanted to throw my kindle. But, i enjoyed every single second. This book took evetything out of me and more.

I finished Tortured yesterday, and have been trying to figure out a way to write a review to explain the magnificent HOT & intense journey that I was taken on properly without spoiler douchery, and it's been 24 hours, and I'm still not any closer to doing it justice, but here I go anyway. Tortured is Gringo's story. And Gringo is the third soldier in the covert organization known as the Program, which consists of the deadliest mercenaries on the planet. He suffers big time from his past, which tortures himself because of, and this makes him extremely dark & twisty not mention more dangerous. There is one woman who can get past the chaos of his darkness, Sasha, but she's married to a corrupt man who is powerful. And that's all of the plot that I'm dropping, you want more, read it for yourselves as it's totally worth it! Because if you have ever read the absolutely brilliant N.M Catalano, you would know that she's a diabolical genius, so her stories have twists & turns around every corner, which means that the only words that I can utter throughout the story are the f-bombs that I drop from the shock. Then there's the unholy hotness of chemistry from Gringo who can disintegrate panties from a look, so when he is engaging in sexy times with Sasha, they lit the sheets, or whatever they are on, on fire with FIERY FLAMES. The amazing Ms. Catalano doesn't do cookie cutter romance, nope, she does what my type A, control freak self calls big girl romance, and her heros are the men that I would give up all my control for. And that's what makes her one of my all time favorite addictions, so I CANNOT WAIT for more of what I crave in The Program series, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Tortured by NM Catalano
Omg!! So many feels!!
This is book 3 in The Program Series by NM Catalano and just like the others before, it does not disappoint! NM puts you in the story, makes you feel all the emotions these characters feel.
For the love of all things tortured! Gringo and Sasha are most definitely the definition of the word. Neither asked for the hand life dealt them. As Gringo and Sasha have learned, acceptance and fairytales are things wishes are made of, and oh how things change once they get what they’ve wanted the most. When these two tortured souls find each other and come together they finally have everything they’ve always wanted, but inner demons and outer villains are right there proving to them both that they aren’t worthy of having what their hearts desire the most. But no matter the obstacles or dangers neither are willing to give up on what they’ve always wanted and to finally feel free to love not only each other but themselves too.
As always Ms. Catalano, you have written an amazing story full of angst, hotness, love, mystery, suspense and scenes that will melt your kindle!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIVE flaming hot stars!
Thank you for another book hangover and that ending about put me over the edge! Can’t wait for Vengeance!! Bring on the Bull!!!
*while the other books in the series have ended on a HFN this book does end on a cliffhanger...but not to worry, Ms. Catalano won’t leave us Tortured for long.

I absolutely adore The Program series and this was one of those books I was anxious to jump into, but didn’t want to see end. Tortured is the perfect title for this story. Gringo considers himself unredeemable. His life is his brothers, the Program and his missions. As he watches them fall in love he acknowledges that isn’t something he can have in his life. His current mission is personal though and he finds himself unable to turn away from Sasha and her light, even if he knows he’s too much of a monster to be deserving of it. Can one truly never atone for the evil f their past? Maybe it only takes that one perfect person to show us how very deserving we are for redemption. Catalano always blow me away with her writing and Gringo and Sasha wrapped themselves around my heart. Their story blew me away and stayed with me long after I was done reading.

Tortured was my first book to read by this author and what an amazing introduction to both her writing and this fantastic series! This intriguing and fast paced read kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing until the end.
Sasha and Gringo are the very definition of tortured souls but together they have everything they ever needed. At first, I was a little unsure of how much I would enjoy their story but the more I read my emotions started running all over the place and I was hooked. I loved the chemistry between them and was swept away by their unpredictable and intriguing journey together.
The twists and turns their story took had me on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The ending took be by surprise and will torture me until I can get my hands on the next book. Luckily, it'll give me time to catch up with the characters I have to know more about from this amazing series. I am looking forward to Bull's story next!

I really enjoyed this book. Being fairly new to this author I went in kind of blind but came out loving it. From the first word I was hooked and could not put this book down. The characters are written in such a way they make you feel what they feel, think how they think. The storyline is really well developed and now I am on edge waiting for more.

Another great book in 'The Program' Series. Like the others it is enthralling, well written and bring all the gorgeous men back together. Be warned, this ends in a cliffhanger, I hope the wait isn't to long, I need to know what happens.
Tortured, Book 3, is Gringo and Sasha's story. It provides and insight into their pasts, their nows. There's more to Sasha's relationship with husband James than just being ignored and how does this connect with Summer.
I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
