New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.

Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

DECADENTLY DEPRAVED DARK ROMANCE

If you crave dark romance, the Deliver series is not to be missed. DELIVER US: Books 1-3 was the starter to whet the appetite, but this set is the main course. DEVASTATE, TAKE, and MANIPULATE will drag you into places you’ve never been in the dark and depraved world of cartels and sex traffickers, but despite all that, 3 new couples will steal your heart.

DEVASTATE (#4)
What is more costly than money and has the power to devastate? Love. Will the price be too high?


Tate Vades from Disclaim (#3) is obsessed with and pining for someone he’s never met and that sets him on a hunt to find best friend Camila’s sister, Lucia Dias, and bring her home. Lucia was kidnapped 11 years ago, and presumed dead. Maybe that would have been better than what he finds. The journey will take him to the hellishness of Venezuela’s Kidnap Alley in search of the mystery of Lucia and her whereabouts. Infamous Van Quiso returns in this book (yum, yum), as well as crossover characters from this series and Cole from Tangled. Relationships are as tangled as emotions, and Lucia and Tate slog through Pam’s grittiest and darkest imagination to get to the other side.

TAKE (#5)
A SAVAGE MAN IN FULL MEETS HIS MATCH IN A RESILIENT WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE

“Love is insanity”


The combo of Kate and notorious crime lord Tiago Bedell, plus the issue of his artistry through scarification made my breath catch with trepidation, but it turns into a beautiful expression of love that hooked me hopelessly. This incongruous couple is beyond riveting and romantic. Plus, their story offers the most bang for your buck that you’ll ever get, and there’s a good deal of nail-biting déjà vu before the end, including ingenious use of beloved characters from this and another series.

Kate’s a loner with no man of her own and still a virgin despite having been a captive, trained sex slave who escaped before being sold. What are the odds of being kidnapped again? This time her captor is the infamous Tiago. He’s the ultimate Svengali alpha on steroids. Wicked, depraved, vile, savagely and irresistibly handsome beyond measure. A beautiful contradiction. There’s a special reason he’s taken Kate, which she can only surmise while held captive at his dungeonlike lair in the Venezuelan jungle.

The consummate emotional and physical journey this pair undertakes is inexplicable and heart-shattering – her predicament and torture. Their trial by fire left me breathless and exhausted by the grueling action, and constantly terrified for the outcome. Their unique and life-altering love simply swept me away. None of it is easy or comes without pain and sacrifice in an enormously pleasing rollercoaster of action-filled complications. Tiago, the beguiling lunatic, is unlike any other anti-hero. He’ll revile, charm and often leave you brokenhearted and deeply touched. But, when all is said and done, you’ll embrace this couple like no other.

MANIPULATE (#6)
BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING

“No tears. It’s a waste of good suffering.”


A good girl can find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time across the border … imprisoned in notorious, drug cartel-controlled prison … and in a real struggle to stay alive. This book takes you to the brink of freefall. Manipulate does not disappoint.

That said, I got rocked good by plucky Tula, as the American school teacher who crosses the border on a mission to help her troublesome sister, only to be mistaken as a member of a drug cartel and sent to the most vile prison – where the infamous La Rocha cartel thrives and inmates come to rot. “It’s a lot like high school. With guns and knives.” How will a gorgeous, slip of a girl – the only woman in the cartel’s Area 3 -- ever survive alone? Then, a pair of “new” guys shake her world in a manipulative ménage none of them saw coming. Bi-sexual “lovers” Rick and Martin (nicknamed Ricky Martin – what a hoot) stole the show… but Tula brought the big finish. Who’s manipulating whom and will anyone come out of this alive?

There are three more books left in the series: newly released UNSHACKLE (#7), followed by upcoming DOMINATE (#8) and COMPLICATE (#9) in 2021. Read the box sets back to back and prepare for these final three books as the ultimate delicious, depraved, and decadent dessert.

This is one box set that you do not want to miss!!! It includes three amazingly delicious and dark stories, and it’s the continuation of Deliver Us, which are books 1-3. The audiobook is also amazing. These are books 4-6:

Devastate

“ They found each other in tragedy. A silent, unified heartbeat in the midst of devastation.”

There’s no doubt that Pam is the Queen of dark reads! I just love her books they’re so freaking hot and sexy but at the same time they’re non-gratuitous. This series is just mind blowingly amazing! Love it. This is Tate’s story, one I was definitely looking forward to, especially after the last book. I love Tate, he’s just so freaking precious. I also loved Lucia. Their story definitely kept me hooked. And Van! I’m all about Van, he’s my man and any book that features him prominently I’m all up for it. Definitely looking forward to Kate’s book, it will take a whole lot to redeem Tiago, but if Pam could redeem Van, then I will trust it can be done!

Take

She was his whole, his entire being, more himself than he was. If she ceased to exist, he would be a stranger, no longer part of this world.

She was his constant, his evermore, not just in the physical sense. She was the inexplainable something that made up his soul.

Dang Pam Godwin! This woman is too good at the dark and twisty storytelling. She can definitely redeem the unredeemable! This is Kate and Tiago’s story and I truly wondered how Pam was going to redeem Tiago cause he did some pretty terrible stuff in the last book. I did trust that she could do it, cause hello Van! The storyline was awesome though and I completely fell in love with Tiago, boy was he amazing with Kate. And Kate was a kickass strong heroine, totally loved her fierceness. I totally love this series and can’t wait for what comes next!!!

Manipulate

Another great story in this series. Pam is definitely queen when it comes to dark and twisty. I have been waiting for Martin and Ricky's story for the longest time and honestly thought it was going to be an MM story. I'm not opposed to the MMF MFM storyline with the addition of Tula. And actually I thought the entire Tula backstory was pretty awesome and kept me hooked. But I felt the romance was still a little forced and Ricky and Martin didn't really needed the addition of Tula. Regardless, this was pretty awesome and kept me hooked the entire time!

How does a perfect love story start?
“It starts with you, a bottle of wine, and a Netflix subscription…”
Hold on to your seats and tighten the belts, it's a long & bumpy ride.
As much as I've LOVED previous 3 books,trust me,this book is even better !
Lucia Dias is now the person who's presumably dead , but Tate vows to find her and the journey will take you into the Most dangerous alley in the Kidnapping city of Venezuela
Pam has spared no expense in unearthing the nefarious existence of some of the vilest criminals in this impoverished country. Tiago Badell is the crime Lord who has surpassed Van Quiso in cruelty and Matias in absolute power. He rules his corner of the world ruthlessly and cunningly. His weapon of choice- Scarification!!!
I was racing through the story, it is as fast paced and stunning as The Fast & The Furious movies. Lots of action, lots of drama happening , heart pounding, pulse racing madness all around, it's a virtual Minefield of emotions. Right in the center are Tate and Lucia.
The story of suicidal lovers. A gate carved into skin. They found each other in tragedy. A silent, unified heartbeat in the midst of devastation.
I tell ya....this story will stop your heart and jumpstart it back on ......several times.
Tenacity of human spirit soaked in love, at its finest !!
There's intense love in here. sizzling hot passion igniting the pages, and some scenes that'll slay you outright. Cannot wait to read more!!
A 5 star pot boiler

Take
Tragic and hopeful in the mood, vicious and tender in sentiments, punishing and redeeming in the characterization, the story holds you hostage with words. Powerful words from unforgiving pen of Godwin. She doesn't hold much back, painting these people in all the shades of grey. They ALL  walk a thin line between love and hate, taking the readers by surprise at every turn.
You'll fall in love with this book, this series and the brain behind it all.
It's a juggernaut of emotions, throttling down towards you at full speed. It railroads you with passion, overruns you with fear and shakes you with heightened sense of danger.
You CANNOT remain untouched or unmoved.
5 stars for Spit, Cum, Sweat, Blood

Manipulate
The HOTTEST book of this year! This book will set your kindle on fire ladies. Be prepared to be devoured and engulfed in the raging bonfire of sexual chemistry. This series Is a virtual treasure trove for dark romance lovers. Ingenious mind of Godwin just keeps weaving one mesmerizing tale after another. Each book has given us a peek into the heinous world of sexual slavery and Pam gets bolder and daring with every book she pens. Starting from Van Quiso to the latest Hector La Rocha, the monsters are getting blacker and their slayers a bit greyer
The characters she's created have Yin & Yang personalities. They're dangerous and protective,sadists and masochistss, exacting and forgiving...all in the same frame.
If it's possible, I keep falling a little more in love with Pam every book she writes❤️

DEVASTATE:
I'm totally in awe of Pam Godwin's ability to invent a completely new plot and atmosphere with each new book of the Deliver series.
In Devastate, the 4th installment, we follow the story of Tate (a true alpha that made me swoon: patient, caring, protecting and dominant ) and Lucia, Camilla's sister, a badass and resilient heroine I instantly connected with.

Once again, the psychological journey, and distress of 6the characters was amazingly handled. It truly was devastating. And beautiful.
Tate is determined to find out what happened to Lucia after the crash plane, and he embarks on a rescue mission. The thing is, is there someone to rescue? The woman isn't who he thought he would find... Or, is she?

With a Damocles sword hanging over their heads, the most unexpected binome leads the reader through action pack scenes and the most gruesome predicaments. And still, everything is brilliantly counterbalanced by sweet, intimate and heart-wrenching moments.

Meeting the characters of the other books, seeing their interactions, and most of all, their evolution in their healing (yes, even Van) process was very satisfying. They even made me laugh at time, which I never thought would happen. Another sign of the author's incredible writing.

That book complete a series that keeps me on the wedge of my seat, and I highly recommend it to lovers on the genre, enjoy!!!

Devastate (Lucia & Tate), Take (Kate and Tiago), Manipulate (Tula, Martin & Ricky)

Review of Devastate
This is one of my favorites of the entire series. That being said, each book in this series is special and unforgettable in it's own way.

Tate and Lucia's story is dark and devastating. Yet in the end, their love was endless and without limits.

She's been missing for years, presumed dead, until Tate decides he wants to find out the truth. He's doing it for Camila, because she deserves to know the truth. The trip will not be an easy one. His mission will be harrowing. Blood will be shed, boundaries will be obliterated and his past will come back to torment him. In the end, his will to survive will be put to the ultimate test. He will have to fight to live and save the woman he loves.

Lucia has been living a nightmare since she was taken. She does what she needs to do to survive, even though it haunts her. Keeping her enemy close has been the only way to stay alive. She's ready to be free. She's never had hope of getting out, now she has help.

The author did not hold back and this story was dark and twisted. She will definitely push you to your limit and you may even break. Push through anyway, because finding their freedom with each other was a beautiful thing. I am totally hooked on this series and each character's journey is unique and cathartic as they heal from the past.

------------

Review of Take
Kate is the quiet one of the group, but no less a survivor. She had been kidnapped when she was eighteen and trained by Van as a submissive until she was freed. Now it's history repeating itself, only this time she is older and and ready to fight for her life and her freedom.

Tiago Badell made his appearance in Devastate and we know him to be ruthless. Lucia left him with a head wound that is still healing months later. However, the man is ready to come back with a vengeance and he has taken Kate as his revenge.

The devil was not born, he was made when his life took a cruel turn. Kate sees more than a monster. She sees the broken man behind the evil he has become. And even with the fear she has, she wants the man.

This story was seductive in its seeking of pleasure. Tiago believes in no boundaries and no limits. He will challenge Kate to take what she wants and to stop thinking that there are rules. He wants to show her that there is endless freedom in what he can give her. The chemistry will cause sparks and Kate will fight every step of the way. He will push all her limits and she'll find herself in the process. They will face a battle in more ways than one.

This was ultimate pleasure and the darkest sides of humanity. I was captivated by their story. Love is not always sunshine. Sometimes it's darkness.

------------

Review of Manipulate
Tula was only trying to help her sister when she was arrested. She never expected to land in a Mexican prison and lose the quiet life she has built. It is literally hell on Earth. She will have to find a way to survive until she can be freed.

Tula earns protection and clout when she protects another inmate during a prison riot. Little does she know, he's an extremely powerful man, running the La Rocha cartel. Her connection to him will give her the protection she needs while in the prison.

She stays to herself to pass the time. One woman in a sea of men who are convicted criminals. Her only reprieve will come when Ricky and Martin arrive in her area of the prison. They will give her the escape she craves if only for a short time.

Ricky and Martin are there for a reason. Running an undercover operation to gain intel on the La Rocha cartel. They never expected Lucia. She becomes their in to get close to the cartel's intel. They just didn't expect it to get complicated by feelings. Their feelings for her, and their feelings for each other.

This story is twisted. Some will do anything to survive and when the choice is to kill or be killed, you do what needs to be done. Tula did not expect her life to take the turn it did. She never imagined the horror she would uncover. And she never would have expected to find the love of not one, but two men.

Tula was a survivor. A woman who adapted to her environment and did what she needed to do to survive. She was not willing to watch a man she had come to trust, continue to commit vile acts against the innocent. She was about to start a war, but backing down wasn't in her DNA. She was a warrior and Ricky and Martin were her safe place to land. Another great addition to this series.

From Evil: Devastate/Take/Manipulate (Deliver Series 4, 5 & 6)



Devastate undoubtedly my favorite book, to date, of the Deliver series it’s beautifully twisted right from the start. Pam Godwin wrote one hell of a dark romance, that will challenge your mind and heart to see if you can take it all. It's heartrending how much a person can endure to protect the people they love. And in this book, I found the most sinister character I've read so far and I'm not talking about Van.

I greatly enjoyed Tate and Lucia's story. A real page-turner! I highly recommend this book/series to anyone who's into this kind of books.

Review: Take

One of the menacing characters I met in Deliver Series -- Tiago Bedell. The character I love to hate last year in Devastate is back. He's still dark, raw, intense and apparently likes bloodplay.

Kate lost her freedom once again in the hands of Tiago. But she's not just about to accept her captivity without a fight. She's feisty and speaks her mind. Learning what happened in Tiago's past gave her a glimpse of why he became the person he is today. Is it possible to fall for someone like Tiago?

Never underestimate the power of a good author that knows how to make you fall for her (anti) hero. I don't like Tiago before but now I can't let go of him. Pam Godwin did an amazing job of writing this story.

I dare you to read this series for it's getting better and better as each Freedom Fighters gets their own story. I'm looking forward to the next one. Highly recommendable series.

Review: Manipulate

"I will not cry.
I will not show weakness.
I will bear this, bury it, and survive."

After being framed for drug smuggling, Tula Gomez was forced to accept her predicament. Being incarcerated in one of the worst prisons in Mexico has made her fierce and vigilant at all times. In two years time, she became one of the most trusted members of the La Rocha Cartel.

Freedom Fighters' Ricky and Martin was assigned to infiltrate the La Rocha Cartel who are allegedly into sex/human trafficking. Their "arranged" imprisonment raised suspicion among the members of the cartel. That's why Hector, head of the cartel, asked Tula to charm the Americans to get intel on what's the real reason behind their imprisonment. Will Tula succeed in knowing it?

Manipulate is completely engrossing and intense that will evoke a spine-tingling emotion when you meet these characters. Everyone has an agenda to outdo one another, the question is... who will manipulate who? So brace yourself for this is going to be one dark, twisted, and hot AF but enjoyable read. Tula, Ricky, and Martin are flawed by different circumstances but they find each other and the love they all deserved.

If you wish to give this series a try, read the first book first. That has a background you’ll need to enjoy the series and also reading them in order for you to savor each character. This series is a dark romance that will push you out of your comfort zone. I have enjoyed them all and look forward to the next. A great series I highly recommend!

"From Evil'' is another installment of the Deliver Series by the best-selling author Pam Godwin. This box set contains the Fourth , Fifth and sixth book of the series.

This series is definitely one my darkest reads of all time. It crosses all boundaries and limits and hell yeah , if the author didn't make me enjoy those moments. The Twists and turns were worth the darkness and I am not ashamed to say that I straight away binged this one in one sitting and almost immediately pre ordered the next book!!

The characters of the 'Deliver' world are back with a band with lots of extra darkness for you so please be sure to check out the triggers in this book before reading it. This author has this uncanny ability to keep me hooked in her books and not let me go no matter how much I beg her to. She is just that amazing!!

A definite recommendation to all the dark Romance lovers out there! I am repeating it again , that this book has a lot of triggers like Non Con and Abuse , so please keep those in mind!!

I have been following this series from the start and let me tell you, you need these books in your life.
Pam Godwin is one of my most favorite authors and I always adore her unconventional, dark and gritty stories.
Her heroes are always addictive and perfect for the dark tales she weaves.
The books must be read in order for readers to fully appreciate the plot, so please be aware of this.
The three books included are a delight for those who love the darker side of romance.
Amazing storytelling as always from Mrs. Godwin.
I recommend it.

After reading the Deliver Us boxset this one was a obvious yes on my radar. To truly enjoy this series you should really start from the beginning and if you love dark and don’t have triggers you will love this! Each book pushes the boundaries in each and every way but leaves you wanting more. The lines are so blurred in this set that they don’t even exist anymore and it leaves you thinking omg what did I just read but in the best way possible

From Evil contains books four through six in Pam Godwin’s Deliver series, and these books are more addictive than the first three. The first three books left me conflicted, but these three left me desperate to see how the series plays out.

Although each book in the series can be read as a standalone, the series is best read in order to understand the development of the characters and the way the storyline develops. With each book, more is added to the storyline, with the twists pulling you in deeper. Each book hooks, leaving you desperate for more, but books four and six are easily my favourites of the series (book six in particular).

Without a doubt, those who enjoyed the first three books need to dive into these three. The series will not be for everyone, but those that enjoyed the first books are sure to enjoy these.

~DEVASTATE~

OUTSTANDING!
Just when I thought the previous book was my favorite, Ms. Godwin pulls out her brilliant & magical mind and gives me yet another story that blew me away. Devastate is a phenomenal read - masterfully written, beautifully executed.

After finishing Disclaim, I could not wait for this book. I knew Tate’s story was going to be a good one, and Pam did not disappoint. Full of heart-pounding goodness, I was craving every page.

Tate and Lucia are strong, badass characters that had sparks flying when they were together. I was already in love with Tate from before, and now I can add Lucia to the list of heroines I adore and respect.

I absolutely loved reuniting with all of the characters from the previous books, especially Van. Oh my goodness, Van. He was a huge part of this book and I couldn’t be happier. I fell for him even more.

When Pam Godwin writes a story, she makes sure the reader FEELS everything. And I sure felt it all with this one, deep down in my soul.

This was full of action that had my heart racing. It’s packed with an intense energy that had me trembling with anticipation. And scorching hot scenes had me feeling red-hot desire. Raw, powerful, and intoxicating - I couldn’t help but devour these pages.

This was an excellent addition to the Deliver series. Dark & delicious and gut-wrenchingly GOOD.

I must add, the appearance of a certain someone from Pam’s Tangled Lies series was absolute perfection. He fit right in with this crazy, fucked up cast of characters. And my heart still aches for him. <3

~TAKE~

This story was pure dark and twisted deliciousness.
Pam Godwin took one of the most irredeemable antiheroes, made him human, and made me fall in love with him.

Still trying to figure out how she did that.

With her eloquent writing, her expertise sucked me right in.
She pushed my boundaries.
Made me want things I shouldn’t want.
Certain things seemed so wrong...disturbing...yet they felt so right.
I found myself questioning my morals, maybe even my sanity.
Genius.

Kate, so strong-willed, with her fiery personality, is a complete badass. She’s been through hell and back and she refuses to back down.

Tiago Badell is pure evil. Pretty sure he’s missing a heart. The spitfire that is Kate, is exactly what he needs, craves, and must have. The chemistry between these two was sizzling hot, it blew through the roof.

Take is full of wicked passion, filthy goodness I couldn’t get enough of. Raw, emotionally intense scenes had my heart pounding from cover to cover. I craved more and more with each turn of the page. I lived and breathed this story.

I cannot recommend this book enough. If you’ve read the other books in this series, you will want to read this one.

~MANIPULATE~

The Deliver saga continues…and quite deliciously I might add. We get more dark and heart-stomping goodness, all wrapped up in a twisted, little package, written with the expertise of a genius wordsmith named Pam Fucking Godwin.

In this whirlwind tale of drug cartels, sex trafficking, and Freedom Fighters, lurks a beautiful and sexy AF love story. The passion and love and devotion created between Tula, Martin & Ricky was so intoxicating, so achingly beautiful, I could barely stand it.

Thoughts of them lingered on my mind when I wasn’t reading.
My imagination ran wild, with naughty, little thoughts of myself in place of the heroine.
Never mind that this story was set in one of the worst prisons in Mexico. I still wanted to be Tula.
Those deep, dark secret fantasies you have... you know the ones…yeah, they’re in here.
I wanted to feel the love she gave, I wanted to take the love she received.
These three together were pure perfection.
My heart fluttered and my girly parts tingled.

“Three hearts without walls fused into a single soul without bars. Lost and found. Locked up and freed. Together, they became an unbroken forever.”

The relationship between Martin & Ricky – so complicated, so powerful, so captivating. The way they communicated without even speaking. A whole conversation could be had with just one look. The history they shared, the way they needed each other, looked out for each other, loved each other, made my heart feel full. To watch their relationship from the beginning of the book to end was SO EFFING GOOD. The tension, the chemistry, the heart-warming love… they stole my heart.

Tula was the perfect addition to their alliance… such a strong and kick-ass woman. Capable of protecting, caring, and loving so deeply. I was in awe of their relationship. The way they would do anything for each other. Before she met them, she had endured so much pain and suffering, it was hard not to cry for her. But the way she learned to survive and prevail, it was easy to admire her.

As this series continues, it keeps getting better and better. Each book is phenomenal in its own way, each one telling an integral part of this emotionally intense saga, making you want, need, and crave the next one. I cannot wait for book 7.

I can’t recommend this enough. If you’ve read and loved the first five books in the series, don’t even hesitate, read this one.

If you think you have read all the darkest romance till date and nothing can shock you or shake you, think again. Because From Evil by Pam Godwin will challenge you, break you, overwhelm you and you will still beg for more.

This set contains Devastate, Take and Manipulate. Book 4-6 of Deliver Series. The dark, depraved and raw saga started with Van Quiso and Liv who abducted people, abused them and sold them to sexual slavery. None of them are normal. These sick, terrifying and horrific experiences have broken their psyche and changed them forever. But every monster deserves redemption and every human can heal.

Devastate is the story of Tate. Who goes on a suicide mission to rescue Lucia, the long lost sister of the woman he loved. Set in the Amazon and corrupt dark dangerous streets of Venezuela, this story is about second chances and twisted happily ever after. Lucia is strong and fierce with broken edges and bleeding mind. Tate has barely gotten himself together after all the abuse. Together they write an unusual love story smeared in blood, doused with fiery passion and set on fire by the drama and action.


Take is the story of Tiago and Kate. Tiago Bodell, the king of Venezuela underworld. Ruthless. Merciless. Cruel. Inhuman. Kate, the survivor of the shocking traumas. The unlikely and volatile story between the captor and captive, Take is truly dark psychological romance at finest.


Manipulate is the story of Ricky, Martin and Tula. The only MMF story of the series. It is also the filthiest and most perverse one. When Ricky and and Martin went undercover in the Mexican Prison to catch the Mexican cartel involved in human trafficking, they didn't expect to meet someone like Tula there. The sensual, smart and fierce woman trapped in the hell of the prison where violence and debauchery rule. Ricky and Martin had to face their own demons and issues while trying to protect the very woman they wanted to use. The chemistry is sensational. The emotions cut me like barbed wire. Three very damaged yet beautiful souls had a gut wrenching journey and I enjoyed every moment.

From Evil by Pam Godwin pushed my limits and broke my boundaries. This series is one of the most raw and gritty romance I have ever read. It's not for the fainthearted. Be prepared to be cut into pieces by Pam Godwin's epic writing.

My stomach is in knots - literally

Wow - where to start?
Each story is a standalone but to truly understand the connections between the characters and the emotions that drive them you need to read the series in order.

Devastate is the first book in this collection - it is Lucia & Tate's story
I think this it is my favorite in the series so far.
Emotionally I was wrecked when I left them.

"One Night, Lucia. Everyone needs someone. Even me. Tonight, I'm yours. Your someone."
"My person?"

Tate believed he had lost his forever love. Even if he could never have her he believed he could still make her happy (while also keeping his mind and body occupied. Distraction. Possibly.)
Enter his quest to find her sister -
Lucia
I don't even know where to start with this one.
Despite the fast pace of events, the limited window of time I developed the deepest emotional connection with these characters
Their journey is violent - bloody - raw
It was meant to test the bonds of love
At the same time, it was also one if the most beautiful love stories I have ever read

I am off to read Take Kate and Tiago's story
I met Tiago in Devastate and honestly I am unsure Kate will make it out alive.
"There's nothing more vibrant , more beautiful, or more treasured than the flower that blooms in hell."
I actually cried - dont judge - I really had a hard time accepting, forgiving (?) Tiago. He never pretended to be anything than what he was. He never lied. Yes he manipulated, wagered, blackmailed to get what, he wanted and he crossed some serious lines. But when you peel back the judgments the societal constraints- I got it
"You and me. Wide awake. Alive."
Their story is bloody. Dark. And in its own sickly unique way
Beautiful.

The final story is Manipulate this is Tula, Martin & Ricky's story - Bound to be a rough journey
I will be back to update you when I finish

Review of DEVASTATE
Pam Godwin's stories are like eating delicious, spicy food. They hurt so good, this one especially. Caracas, Venezuela is the murder capitol of the world. Ninety-two percent of the murders go unconvicted. This is where the story takes place. It had me on the edge of my seat. At 70% I was being devastated and had to pause to remember to breathe. The torture was almost too much for me. Damn good thing it wasn't on film. Tate and Lucia are the hero and heroine in DEVASTATE. I had to remember what I read in DISCLAIM regarding Camila and Matias. Camila is Lucia’s sister and Matias is her brother-in-law, though Lucia doesn’t know any of this. She has been “missing” for 11 years. This story is not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of murder, rape and torture, so many triggers. You should do a search on “Caracas Venezuela crime and kidnapping statistics”. It really puts this story in perspective.

DEVASTATE is a dark romance with a happily ever after. If you aren’t familiar with Ms. Godwin’s work then read the first one in this series, DELIVER to understand her writing style. DELIVER is free on Amazon. Please don’t read DEVASTATE as a stand alone. You would really be doing yourself a disservice. There is a character in the story who plays a major part that was in Ms. Godwin’s Tangled Lies trilogy. I recommend reading the trilogy before starting this one. This book was astounding just like all of the other books by Pam Godwin. I love it when authors put parts of their own lives in books, like adopting greyhounds.

You don’t want to miss this spectacular bounty.

If you love dark romance then this is a must read

Devastate (book #4) This book is everything the title promises and more! It will devastate your mind, your soul, your body. Tate and Lucia’s story will shake you and hit you to the core. It’s a devastatingly beautiful tale.
This series keeps going better and better, and I find myself wanting more and more.
And not to mention the appearance of a character from the tangled lies series awwwww pure perfection 🖤

Take (book #5) one of all my time favourite in this series Deliciously dark will leave you wanting more craving and panting and so raw you won’t know what happened only that you don’t want it to end
Tiago and Kate’s story is so beautiful and painful there are no words to describe the feelings you’ll go through while reading their story, the only thing I can say is to hold on and never let go.

Manipulate (book #6) This series is just one of the best I have ever read and I can’t get enough.
I can’t wait for the next story and at the same time I don’t want it to end so I’m actually conflicted... what I know for sure is this trio story left me with a book hangover hard to fight.

If you only read one series ever and love dark romances this is ok ne you dont want to miss I am so addicted to these book And lucky you. Yo uh get to read them all at one time.
DE
Devastate
Devastate is the fourth book in Pam Godwin's Deliver Series. I highly recommend that you read Deliver, Vanquish and Disclaim before reading Devastate. Characters carry over from one book to the other and you will have a much better understanding of them and their stories.

Tate is on the hunt for his best friends sister. Eleven years ago, Lucia Dias was abducted.. Presumed dead. He never met her, so why does he care? Some might call his efforts noble, but his motivation is more perverse, bordering on obsession. When he follows a chilling lead to Venezuela's Kidnap Alley, what he finds is neither a corpse nor a captive. Amid poisonous lies and crippling depravity, the price of love is devastation. And he pays. With his body, his blood and her whole life.

Holy Cow let me first say that I don't think I have ever read a book that has such a perfect title for the book. Devastate.....think about it for a minute. Now you know what you are in for when you read this book. I liked Tate in the other books but especially Disclaim. Tate and Camilla are the best of friends. However deep inside Tate has been in love with her but knows that she doesn't love him in the same way so to help her discover something in her life she thinks is long gone, he sets out to find her long lost believed dead sister. There was a plane crash and no one survived. Only Lucia did survive and is not in the hands of one of the most powerful gang leaders in the country. No body will go up against the torture them so their families will pay huge ransoms. When Tate lays eyes on Lucia though all bets are off and the chemistry between them will melt your kindle right in you very hands. I too think this is the darkest book in this series. If you are sensitive to certain materials in books, you might want to miss this one. If you do love them though then you do not want to miss a single book in this series.

Take
He's a notorious crime lord, a kidnapper, and an artist. Scarification is his outlet, and he just captured a new canvas. Kate refuses to surrender beneath his blade or the cruelty in his beautiful eyes. But she's drawn to the man inside the monster. A man who makes her ache with is touch. Who owns her with his kiss. A man who worships her a deeply as he hurts. her. She can run, but there's no escape from the bond carved in scars.

Take is the fifth book in the Deliver Series from Pam Godwin. If you have not started this series then you need to begin at the beginning and read Deliver, Vanquish, DIsclaim and Devastate. The books make more sense when read in order as some characters overlap into other books but none of them are cliffhangers. This too is my favorite dark series. I think it is about the first one I read that contained more than one book and I have been addicted every since. I could not wait to get my hands on this book and it did not disappoint. This book is everything you expect in this series and from Pam Godwin. You know your reading something amazing when a author can make you she was doing alright in life until Tiago decided to take her and she finds herself kidnapped for the second time in her life. You just need to grab this book and read it. I would give it a million stars if I could. I hung on every world and loved each and every one of them. If you love dark romances then you do not want to miss this one or this entire series for that matter. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I would be a happy woman if this series went on forever and ever. I can never get enough of these characters or of Pam Godwin.

Manipulate
Tula Gomez is in the most ruthless prison in Latin America. She only drove to Mexice to help her sister,. She did nothing wrong. But her quiet life changed in an instant. To survive the violent, cartel-controlled prison where men blend with women, she pledges her loyalty to the notorious leadin in exchange for the one thing she nees most. Protection. When she agrees to seduce the suspicious new inmates, Martin Lockwood and Ricky Saldivar, she doesn't expect to enjoy it. Sure they're gorgeous, irresistibly alpha and insanely talented with their hands and mouths. But they're the enemy. Sh can't fall for them. Torn between her cartel loyalties and two men who want her as deeply as they want each other, she questions who is manipulating whom. Her search for answeres leads to a pssionate menage, a sould-crushing secret, and an impossible choice.

Manipulate is the sixth book in Pam Godwin's Deliver Series. You need to read the first five books in order to fully understand what is going on in this book and all you can about these character's and their past. Each book is a complete book with no cliffhangers and happily ever afters. The order is Deliver, Vanquish, Disclaim, Devestate, Take and Manipulate.

Manipulate is everything I expected it to be and so much more. If you have read any of the books in the Deliver Series you know that these books are dark and should be approached with caution if you have any triggers. This is such an amazing series though. I am always so excited when another book gets added to the series. In Deliver you get the story of Ricky and Martin along with Tula. Tula finds herself leaving the United States for the day to go and help her sister who is always in trouble and rumored to have ties to the La Rocha Cartel. After going to her childhood home and unable to find her sister Vera she leave the house before it gets dark as her hometown is one of the most dangerous in Mexico. However things don't go as planned and she finds herself taken and tortured by the military and then convicted of a crime she never commited and place in one of the most dangerours and brutal prisons in all of Mexico. The Cartel's run this prison and fight for power and she finds herself in the midst of memeber of the LaRocha Cartel. A riot takes place and Tula saves the life of a sweet older man who turns out to the the leader of the cartel. Hector La Rocha. He takes Tula in and makes her a member of his cartel and offers her the protection she is so desperate for to survive the time she has to be in prison. She has lost everything and everyone and is just trying to survive. However when Ricky and Martin enter the prison determinded to get to Hector no one trust them and Tula is given the job of seducting them and finding out where their loyalities lie. I don't want to give much of this book away so that is all your getting out of me. I loved these characters so much and devoured this book. I was so sad to see my time with these three over. Will they be able to survive this violent prison? Will the guys be able to convince Tula she is working for the most dangerous women and children selling into slavery man on the planet? Will they all go home together or lose their lives in the prison. This book is smoking hot, will have you one the edge of your seat and at times gasping for breath at the things these characters go through. This book is nothing short of amazing and a great addition to the Deliver Series. I so can not wait to see what Pam Godwin gives us next. This will forever be one of my favorite dark sereis and author.

Pam Godwin continues to "deliver" the one/two punches as the series continues!
Devastate:
How far is too far? Warning: this book is NOT for the faint at heart. The title says it all…Devastate. The forth book in the Deliver series pulls no punches. Well maybe it does punch, a lot. Pam Godwin will test your limits and then pushes you over them. There were so many “I can’t believe she went there” moments. As I said, not for the faint of heart.

We met Tate Vades in Deliver. Once held captive as a slave in training, Tate is now part of the ‘Freedom Fighters’. A small group of former slaves started by Camila Dias that frees other slaves in capture. This is their way of coping and recovering from their captivity and sexual torture experiences. Tate wants to reunite Camila with her sister, Lucia who she believes is dead. He becomes obsessed with finding her. Camila was the one who saved Tate, freed him. He has strong feelings for Camila that he thinks is love.

He was a survivor of captivity and sexual torture, and despite it all, he still considered himself a proud, dominant man.

…Camilia saved him from that fate. She freed him. Then she stole his heart.


Tate sets out to find Lucia. Hiring Cole Hartman to help.

“What is the price you’re willing to pay?”

“Money isn’t an issue.”

“I’m not talking about money.”


They follow a chilling lead to Venezuela’s Kidnap Alley, what they find is neither a corpse nor a captive. Lucia, alive and …existing. Tate gets help from the most unlikely source. Van Quiso, yes, that Van Quiso.

What ensues is a series of moments. Ups, downs, suspense, mystery and horror. Yes horror! Pam goes there. Fully committed. Literally, devastating. You will be on the edge of your seat. Often wondering as I did – how on earth can this have a good ending????

The ride is rough. The sex, insane. It will make you uncomfortable at times. And then she suckers us one more time….(no spoilers). So, I sit here trying to recover from my book hangover, thinking, maybe I need a RomCom next…..

Take
She was a human being with an expiration date, just like everyone else.


Devastate left us with a sense of looming because Kate had disappeared. Taken by the unredeemable Tiago Badel. Fierce, domineering, despised, powerful and possessive. Tiago is the ultimate alpha male, the ultimate anti-hero! He is complex and compelling.

Destiny is a power far bigger than my mortal reach.

Kate is fierce and strong willed! She is isolated, desperate and, at times, reckless. She sacrifices herself for her friends. Kate has experienced so much tragedy and devastation in her life. She never realized that she was just existing. But there is something about Tiago that calls to her, awakens her spirit.

She needed to hate him, but she couldn’t.

Once again Pam Godwin brings us an emotional, devastating, dark story. Filled with questions and more questions. Actions, reactions and lots of white knuckling! You can feel the chemistry between Tiago and Kate as it leaps off of the pages! There are many complications and twists throughout their story.

Pam creates beautiful, strong female characters. The men are naturally strong and dominant but there is always a twist! Fans of Pam Godwin will not be disappointed! Hold on tight because Martin and Ricky’s story is next as the Deliver series continues with Manipulate!

Manipulate
The “Freedom Fighters” are on to their next target in their quest to end human trafficking. Freedom Fighters Martin Lockwood and Ricky Saldivar are implanted in the most violent, cartel-controlled prison in Mexico in an effort to take down La Rocha Cartel. As former sex traffic victims their fight is as personal as it can get.

There is such a complicated relationship between Martin and Ricky. Martin is closed off and anger simmers beneath his surface. Is he gay? Bisexual? What made him so angry? As their story unfolds, Martin’s beast is unleashed!

Best friend Ricky likes it all. Men, women, hell – both! He is carefree and easy going. Ricky is confident with full on sex appeal and swagger! He craves his best friend Martin. They have been through it all. Now, with their lives on the line they are closer than ever. Will Martin succumb to Ricky?

Tula Gomez is introduced. She finds herself in the most ruthless prison in Latin America. Innocent, Tula must harden herself for survival. Her story is complex and intriguing. The first few chapter of Manipulate are brutal! Tula’s story is laid bare in a style that is all Pam Godwin!

It is a tangled web as Martin, Ricky and Tula use each other to gain intel on La Roacha Cartel. Who will win this battle? The heat is turned up as they turn to each other. As they manipulate each other for information, the game changes. Feelings and emotions are triggered. And more secrets are revealed causing a tidal wave of events to unfold. I had suspicions as to where the story headed. I thought that it would go in a certain direction but – this is Pam! She totally threw me off by taking a totally different route.

"They owned her. No matter what happened, she would always be theirs."

Pam will push your boundaries and make your skin crawl. MM lovers will not be disappointed. We get small glimpses of the past along with background stories that have not been told – spoiler alert- they involve Van! One word - HOT! The end is a bit open but I am sure that it will continue throughout the completion of the series.

An amazing, twisted, dark series!

Anthology 5 of 5 stars

Heat 5 of 5 stars

Books included: Devastate, Take, Manipulate

Devastate 5 of 5 stars

Tate Vades mother was a whore and when she died the other whore's raised him. He loved each of them and became a whore himself. At fourteen he was raped and later he was kidnapped and sexually tortured by Van. He's a sexual dominate and a survivor of abuse.

Tate has loved Camila since she rescued him from the human slavery ring. Knowing Camila is forever out of his reach he is determined to find her lost sister Lucia. When an investigator finds Lucia, Tate is determined to rescue her, even if that means accepting Van as his back up.

Lucia Dias was kidnapped into a slave ring, but after a bus accident was believed dead. In actuality she was taken in by sadistic psychopath who's business is to kidnap people and ransom them back to their loved ones. She's forced to participate in the operations until she meets Tate and he gives her hope.

Both of these two have had rough and ugly in their lives, this is another dark tale with rape, torture and abuse, but it also has this amazing love story. What would you do for love? This couple will find out and be taken far beyond what they ever imagined. I don't often cry for characters but I cried for these two. In addition seeing Van and Tate with all their ugly history together was beyond words. Pam Godwin doesn't sugar coat life she peels back the glittery to making you see not just the good but also some of the ugly reality and still find humanity.

Take 5 of 5 stars

Tiago Badell is a crime lord, a rapist, a kidnapper and a sadist. He kidnaps Kate as payment for Tate taking Lucia from him. He will fuck with your mind.

Kate was kidnapped before and viciously trained to be a sex slave before she was freed, being kidnapped again could have broke her. Kate is such a fighter she will not let Tiago take her down!

This story will take you all over the map, from the horror Kate relives being kidnapped again, unknowing her fate, to her rape and struggles with her attraction to her captor. Tiago is a sick bastard, I honestly didn't think Pam Godwin could win me over for this guy. But in the end there is something compelling about a man that becomes so devoted that he's willing to make such significant changes for the woman he loves.

I loved Kate's strength and that she fought Tiago all the way. These are two fierce people that are perfect for each other, even if I don't get all their kinky ways, I get that it works for them. This isn't an easy read but if you like dark romance it's deliciously dark.

Manipulate 5 of 5 stars

Oh My God!

From the first chapter Pam Godwin drops you into the underbelly of the Mexican Cartel and corrupt militia/police force. I swear I could feel every thing Tula was feeling, from her initial carefree, indulge herself feelings in the beginning to her anger and worry for her sister and then the horror when she was taken and tortured.

That first chapter…. OH MY LORD!!!!! I saw it coming and I thought I new what was coming and I was wrong!!! I had no idea, it felt so real and intense that every time I think about it, I still shiver. Even after everything she endured, I loved that she didn't give up, she kept looking for ways to survive, and fight through this story.

Ricky and Martin were both kidnapped and enslaved, now they work with others to take out sex traffickers. They go undercover in one of Mexico's worst prisons to get all the information they can to take out the La Rocha Cartel and it's leaders.

Ricky is openly bisexual and wants Martin so badly but Martin has been celibate since escaping slavery seven years ago.

Martin was horribly abused as a boy and the kidnaping and slavery damaged him in ways that he's afraid to be intimate.

It is heartbreaking to know that these sorts of things are happening out in the real world, Pam Godwin doesn't sugar coat anything, she brings you in, makes you feel all of it. As a survivor of abuse sometimes these things are difficult to read, but the way she does it has real meaning for the story and I appreciate that it wasn't just an ugly scene tossed in to shock readers. I love the idea of the Freedom Fighters working to end human trafficking and I loved how these three connected and in turn took care of each other under impossible circumstances.

There's so much happening in this book and surprises coming at you along the way that, if you can take the heat you'll not want to put this down, plus the foundations for the next book which I can't wait to read.

What I love most about the stories in the Deliver series is just how vile the villain is. That may seem counterintuitive but it is oh so wonderful. You see the worst these "villains" are the more you are cemented in the idea that they are beyond redemption. And if they are beyond redemption they could never be a sexy alpha antihero that you swoon over... Then the villain prods you with that terrible sharp stick over and over again till you are bleeding profusely dizzy from the loss of blood and loving the feeling of the pain. How does he do it. How does he make you love his terrible ways and crave more of his special form of torture?

It is the brilliance of Pam's writing that makes you feel for your kidnapper, torturer, trafficker, crime lord and overall baddie. The pain that we feel is not just being delivered by the villain it is coming from him and her series makes us see that emotional pain the villain has experienced and his path to redemption comes at a painful price to his lover but it is a price they both pay in every book of this series.

In Devastate Tate and Lucia's story, you see the hell that Lucia is living and you feel the utter torture that she has endured. She is merely a shell of her former self existing at the mercy of a ruthless Crime Lord Tiago Badell - El Diablo himself a man who is without mercy the ultimate villain. Her sister will do anything to get her out of her captive hell and Tate will go into the fire to do so.

Devastate is my long extended intro to Take, Kate and Tiago's story. I can't tell you how much I love this book. It goes back to what I talked about earlier loving the villain that bleeds you dry. Tiago proves to be one of the most challenging villains ever to write a love story for. How can you love the devil? How can a monster being redeemed? How do you crave his pain and soothe his own? This dark twisted story will tell you exactly how.

Everyone of the stories is the Deliver series will have you questioning your moral compass, and that is why I love them so much! You should feel a myriad of dark twisted things in revel in the feelings while that little nagging angel on your should trembles in fear. It is a beautiful trip down a dark rabbit hole of adventure, passion and blood a place where angels should fear to tread but every reader should gloriously fall.

The Deliver series by Pam Godwin is raw, intense, passionate, and completely mesmerizing.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐥 is a box set that contains books 4-6 (Devastate, Take, and Manipulation) in Pam Godwin’s Deliver series. I recommend buying the 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐬 box set (Deliver, Vanquish, Disclaim) and reading that before starting this box set. Even though each of the books are “standalone with HEAs,” trust me you will want to start with Book 1! So what’s this series about? I won’t spoil it by giving away any major details but the general tropes you will encounter are cartel, taboo, and captor/captive romances. If you are a fan of dark romances you are in for a treat because Pam Godwin pushes the boundaries and will make you question everything.

“𝐀 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐭. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.”

Even though the characters are put through the most horrifying and unimaginable events, Pam still manages to add plenty of swoon worthy scenes and surprisingly a lot of humor too. For me the best part of this series are all those villains we meet. Let me tell y’all, Pam writes some of the best anti-heroes. These are characters you first hate and then ultimately end up rooting for. These men can be so romantic and yet so terrifying. While Devastate was gut wrenching, Manipulate was hot-hot-hot, Take stole the show for me. It is now one of my favorite reads of 2020. There’s a scene in Take that will live rent free in my mind forever 💎, if you know you know!!

“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝𝐲. 𝐀 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”⁣

From Evil is Books 4-6 in the deliver Series and is a must have for every single ebook device and book shelf!!

Devastate

5 Dark Delicious Stars!!!

If you thought you read dark romance before then buckle up and be prepared for the ride of your life!!! This is not like the other books in the Deliver series, it is darker and more addictive! I couldn’t put it down once I started. Devastate is Tate’s story with a huge helping of Van who definitely redeems himself in this one!! Lucia is the bad girl we all admire and once her and Tate come together it is full on dynamite!! A gripping dark sexy tale that will leave your heart racing!!! PamGodwin is the absolute Queen of darkness!!!

Take

Take is book #5 and the first 4 books in the series definitely need to be read first!!! Tiago was introduced in Devastate and was the villain we wanted to see burn. In this book you learn Kate’s back story and what made Tiago the villain that we learn to love. His back story is absolutely devastating and he more than redeems himself. It wouldn’t be the deliver series if we didn’t get a glimpse into old favorites!!! I was absolutely addicted to this story as soon as it hit my kindle and read it within a few hours!! I can’t wait to see what the next book as in store!

Manipulate

Manipulate is the 6th book of the Deliver series that will leave you on the edge of your seat begging for more!!! Manipulate is the ultimate definition of dark erotic taboo romance!!! This will definitely take you out of your comfort zone but once you dive in there is no return! Even with the dark themes that are not for the weak hearted their will be a happiness revealed! If you are looking for a dark read this is the series for you, but will need to be read in order!! I loved the relationship dynamic between Tula, Ricky, and Martin and they are blended perfectly together! I do wish there would have been one or two more chapters. I can’t wait to see where Pam takes us with the next one!!

Devastate is book 4 in the Deliver series, I recommend reading them in order because the characters all play a part in each book. I love that we get to see how they are each doing. I’ve wanted Tate’s story for a while now and I’m glad it’s finally here! Lucia is a strong broken woman, who will do anything to survive. Tate and Lucia are perfect for each other. It’s devastating, no pun intended but the title fits, it’s not a horrible devastate just an all around devastate. Devastatingly painful beautiful story of lose, hope, love and surviving. Great read, some trigger subjects that are written and handle wonderfully but if you know the series you know what to expect

Take is by far my favorite in the Deliver Series. I loved it from beginning to end. The story is twisted and at times painful to read but Kate and Tiago draw you in and hold you captive. Kate’s strength and Tiago’s just about everything. It’s dark and has triggers but I enjoyed it. It can be read as a stand-alone however, I don’t recommend it start at the beginning and get to know all of the gang.

I’ve been waiting for Ricky’s and Martin’s story for what seems forever, seriously. If you haven’t read the rest in the series you should, you won’t regret it. If you don’t know there are some trigger subjects.
I was expecting Ricky and Martin, I wasn’t expecting Tula. When I realized this wasn’t going to be mm but mmf I was a tad worried however, Tula really is the glue. I don’t think I could have finished Manipulate without her. Now I enjoyed both Ricky and Martin seriously who wouldn’t and at the same time...but I love all three together.
The storyline was a bit surprising by having it set in prison but it made the setting intimate and helped us really understand what they all went through and how they came together to overcome. I’m already stalking Pam Godwin for release dates for the rest of the series.

Devastate (Deliver, #4)
Pam Godwin is the queen of Dark Romance! Devastate, brought in a new monster that makes Van look like a saint! I loved that Van made a main role in this book, fighting alongside with Tate to rescue Camilla's sister, Lucia. The torture and struggles that Tate has to endure at the hands of Tiago, Lucia's captor, will make you cringe!! This is such a great addition to this series...I cannot wait to read book 5!

Take (Deliver, #5)

Exceptionally disturbing at its finest! Pam, as always, can give you the most despicable, hated and tormented character, and make you love him! Tiago, from book 4 Devastate, returns in Take as Kate's captor. He is ruthless with Kate, but he finds himself overtaken with her inter strength. This series continues getting better!

Never read a disappointing book from Pam Godwin and Manipulate was no different! Pam gives us all the dark and dirty we want along with a fabulous storyline! This series continues to get better and better! This MMF dark romances so captivating from the start and I feel in love with Ricky, Martin, and Tula immediately! You don’t want to miss this newest addition to The Deliver Series!!!!

Note: To fully enjoy this series you must read in order, although each book is a complete stand alone

Wow! This crew is just getting deeper and deeper into this dark world. I'm curious to see how the next one plays out. And yay, we get to see Cole!

Take (Deliver, #5)
Omg, I think this one is my favorite so far in this series! I also think Tiago is my favorite anti-hero in this series as well! Pam Godwin sure knows how to write them. I can't believe the stuff he did to Kate and man was it a scorcher. Kate turned out to be perfect for him. Ohhhh I can't wait for the next one.

First can I say I LOVE this COVER!!!! Oh boy, Pam knows how to write some graphic scenes. Quite a few cringe worthy moments. Tula was going to see her sister Vera, but what happened to her is like every female travelers nightmare, but also a spin to it by the time we got towards the end. So many things happened to this trio (Tula, Ricky, Martin), it was sad, but also it was interesting to see them get together. Im curious to see which direction the next book goes with Luke and Vera's book.

What a fabulous collection and I am a little jealous you get to read them in all one pretty set. When I read these it was individual and a little waiting in between. Here are my reviews from the individual books

Take
What an incredible dark read violent and intense read! Truly this book is a fabulous continuation in this series and while being incredibly dark has some incredible knockout moments that keep the reader entertained and captured into the story

Kate’s was the standout book for me here too, I didn’t really care for the other characters and I had been waiting to read Kate’s book since meeting her in book 1.

I also liked the set up here better, the other two books, specifically book 4, were underwhelming for me. Lucia felt like the pff brand version of Camila not to mention she was paired with Tate, and whichever you slice it she was his second choice.

I just read Martin, Ricky and Tula’s book. I liked Tula a lot.

Never has a book title been so on point on what the story will do to you - take heed, this is not for the faint of heart, and it will devastate you, as it does to the characters involved
Take
This was a dark, forbidden, and twisted journey, with Tiago and Kate as the sole source of light, for each other. It took my breath away in so many ways, and I was right there with our characters in the story
Manipulate
These three, this story, oh my heart! It broke, it cracked, it bled, and it didn’t want to let them go.
