LIVE! Manipulate by Pam Godwin


MANIPULATE is now available!


MANIPULATE is book 6 in the DELIVER Series
Dark Romance - Anti-heroes - Sex Trafficking - Cartel


Tula Gomez is in the most ruthless prison in Latin America.

She only drove to Mexico 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 leader in exchange for the one thing she needs 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. She 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 answers leads to a passionate ménage, a soul-crushing secret, and an impossible choice.







CHRISTY'S REVIEW:

   photo 85DE091F-F8DD-473F-9952-7D767E4887B2_zpsrc5jmzct.png

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

I almost never read dark romance books anymore, but when I do, they’re Pam Godwin books. I love this woman’s writing and I’m so invested in these characters and their stories. I have been anticipating Ricky and Martin’s book for so long, and it didn’t disappoint. It may have been the most intense, dark, and erotic of the bunch.

Tula Gomez is a Spanish teacher from Arizona. She lives a quiet life, but her sister in Mexico… not so much. When she gets a call that her sister needs her, she goes. The last thing she expects is to be locked up in a Mexican prison and sentenced to 5 years. She doesn’t know how she will survive this, but she’s resourceful. She finds a way. When the cartel leader in lock up with her befriends her, she’d be stupid to turn away at his protection.

Martin and Ricky show up to the prison a few years after Tula’s been there. No one in Area 3 of their cell block knows what to make of these Americans but it’s Tula’s job to find out. She never expects to fall for one of them, let alone both. These three find out each others secrets, open up to each other in ways they never have before, and fall hard.

The sexual tension in this book was off the charts. First off, we know Ricky has been in love with his best friend Martin for YEARS and Martin has been celibate for his own reasons for years. Then we add Tula to the mix. Gah! It was just so good.

As always, there were so many twists and turns I didn’t see coming. I love that this author never fails to shock me. Also, after seeing who the heroine is for Luke’s book… omg. I don’t even know how that’s going to go but I can’t wait to find out!

If you’re looking for a book that’s raw, unapologetically dark, steamy as all get out, and one that will make you feel, pick this one up. This entire series is fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough.

“This is love. It slays and conquers and never looks back.”
 

DELIVER SERIES
Each book is a different couple. No cliffhangers. Must be read in order.




DELIVER, Book 1: FREE on all retailers


His name was Joshua Carter. Now it’s whatever she wants it to be.

She is a Deliverer.

She lures young men and delivers them to be sold. She delivers the strikes that enforce their obedience. She delivers the sexual training that determines their purchase price.

As long as she delivers, the arrangement that protects her family will hold.

Delivering is all she knows.

The one thing she can’t deliver is a captive from slavery.

Until him.

And her stubborn slave thinks he can deliver her…from herself.




VANQUISH, Book 2



Her life is like a prison cell.
A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside.
Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe.

He belongs in a prison cell.
The 6x8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside.
But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break.
And he just found a sexy new toy.

Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next.
But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.




DISCLAIM, Book 3



Camila was seventeen when Van Quiso kidnapped her. Ten years after her escape, the shackles refuse to release her. Not while there are still slave traders preying on her city.
She will stop at nothing to end them.
Even if that means becoming a slave again.

Returning to chains is her worst fear—and only option. They won’t know who she is or what she intends to do. She’s prepared for every complication.
Except him.
The one who decimated her sixteen-year-old heart.

Matias is charming, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. He’s also untrustworthy and enshrouded in secrets. After years of no contact, he finds her—on her knees, wrists bound, in the clutches of her enemy.
Will he sabotage her mission by needlessly saving her?
Or will he keep her in chains and never let her go?




DEVASTATE, Book 4


“What is the price you’re willing to pay?”
“Money isn’t an issue.”
“I’m not talking about money.”

Tate is on the hunt to find his best friend’s 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 life.




TAKE, Book 5



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 his touch. Who owns her with his kiss.
A man who worships her as deeply as he hurts her.
She can run, but there’s no escape from a bond carved in scars.

CHRISTY'S REVIEW:

Claire and Jude may be my favorite couple Toni Aleo has ever written. I loved their book so hard. I really fell for Claire way back when I read Phillip's book. I couldn't have been happier to see that we were getting a novella with them. And that cover... Jude with a baby... I die.

If you've been invested with this series like me, you know that Claire and Jude have been together for some time. They have the best relationship but something is missing for Claire. A baby. The struggle with fertility issues is real for them and adoption has kind of fell in their lap so they've decided to pursue it.

Claire's struggles felt so real to me. I cried way more than I should have while reading such a short story but this one brought on all the feels. I love this couple so much and the love Jude has for his wife is something so beautiful.

 
"I love you. I love you so damn much. I don't need anything but you. Kids are added bonuses' cause I get to watch you be a mom and fall in love with you all over again."

I loved this little novella so much. I only wish it was longer. I could read about this couple/family all day. For all fans of the Assassin's series and the Bellevue Bullies series, this is a must read!

About the Author:

My name is Toni Aleo and I’m a total dork.
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena’s glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn’t pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son’s hockey games, my daughter’s dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?
