This one I strugged with my feelings as it was darker (in my opinion) than the other books and it took me the longest to read..
Still obsessed though obviously I think this one is the roughest one to read but still incredible

I love a poly romance book (give me all the love stories!), so I was super excited to start this one when I saw that cover! π And can confirm it was just as gritty and dark as all the other books in this series.
We already knew Ricky and Martin from the previous books, but weβre also introduced to a new FMC, Tula, and I absolutely loved her! Sheβs just a normal, down to earth school teacher, sucked into the absolute worst scenario ever, and her story of survival and finding her HEA is oh so good.
And Martinβs story was just as good! Pulling himself out of the after effects of horrible childhood trauma, and finding and EXCEPTING love in his people was so β€οΈ.
This is just an amazing (and deep) dark romance series, and I only have three more books to go, and no lie, Iβm scared! π¬π
What this book is giving:
β
Dark Romance
β
Multi POV/narration
β
MMF
β
Best Friends to Lovers
β
Prisoners
β
Cartel
β
Secrets

Petula's is young school teacher who is called by her sister to help her. But when she arrives in Mexico everything goes wrong and Tula finds herself in a very dire situation.
Along come Ricky and Martin, and they help make Tula's situation better but it's only temporary.
Pam Godwin's series gets better and better with the characters she creates and the scenarios her words weave.
I am loving this series!

Gahhhhhhhhh!
How do I start this commentary!?! Pam Godwin, I bow down to your masterful mind f@ckery! Manipulate gives me closure and get teases me to extremes. I have zero shame in admitting Ricky and Martin have been teasing my filthy brain since Pam first whispered their connection in our ears. Then she let us "see" it come alive and there was no stopping my NEED, my aching desire, to see these two work through everything. I won't even say that my fantasies played a part in my enjoyment because though I'm a dreamer about the MFM/MMF it was the intrinsic connection that had me sold!
Manipulate me all you want. I was clearly putty in Pam Godwin's hands. I have no regrets. I have a new lady crush. And now I'm back to square one...I'm panting for the next installment. Trying not to hold my breath in anticipation for the next adventure...

The Deliver series is one of my favorites ever and I would usually read the books as soon as they came out and while I intended to do that with Manipulate, I put off reading it. Though I was really excited to read Ricky and Martinβs book, I hadnβt expected the addition of Tula and since Iβm not super into mΓ©nage/thruple romances, I put off reading it. I donβt have a problem with them in general, Iβm just more of a two people gal and itβs hard for me to read a book when it has a trope/whatever that Iβm not the biggest fan of. Anyways I decided to get my act together and finally read it because the box set with the last few books is coming out soon and I want to be able to read it when it does which I couldnβt do without having finished Manipulate first. I wonβt say I regret not starting it right away because even though I loved this book to pieces, it was worth the wait and I think thatβs particularly appropriate with this book β itβll make sense if you read it, which you absolutely should if youβre a fan of the series!
Manipulate sucked me in from the very beginning and didnβt let go until the end. Itβs dark, difficult, and heartbreaking to read at times, but thereβs so many moments that are steamy, pure and sweet, tender, and meaningful. The relationship between Ricky, Tula, and Martin was so real and true, they all love each other so much and they donβt work without all three of them together. Their story was just beautiful and incredible and it really touched my heart β I loved it and them so much!

I don't even know where to start with this book, it was everything. The storyline, the connection and chemistry between Ricky, Martin and Petula just blew my mind. And considering where they were, the darkness and despair that surrounded them at every turn, it's awe inspiring that they could find the joy and love that they did. No spoilers from me, atleast I hope I have not spoiled anything, but we all know what they were sent to the prison to do, take down the biggest trafficker of women and children in Mexico any way they could. They however did not expect a woman to be there and certainly not to feel an attraction towards her. It seems like prison might just be the best thing that had ever happened to any of them. Seriously guys, this one is hot! Some curve balls and a lot of tension and despair, some seriously sick torture and messed-up situations and hopefully you guys will love it as much as I did. The author certainly knows how to captivate us with her words and they always create all the emotions. A well deserved score of all the stars I can give!

Manipulate had me strung out on emotions. It was a wild ride that is not for the faint hearted as it tackles issues, that may be triggering to some in graphic detail. The sex scenes are smoking hot, I think they might be the hottest of the series this far. I think what I loved most about was the dynamics between the main characters and their resilience. I loved that they didn't allow circumstances or their past experiences to dictate their future. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and definitely recommend to those who love dark romance.

I literally dropped everything that I was doing as soon as this book went live. I savoured every page, every scene, every word.
This is another novel that's easily going to my favourites list. It was easy to fall in love with the characters and get sucked into the story. I've loved each and every book from this series and they just keep on getting darker and darker. These books are never for the faint of heart and you have to have ta steely gut to stomach some of the detailed descriptions of depravity in these books. Pam Godwin writes dark romance like no other. She never holds back. She always delivers. When you think that she probably won't go there, you betcha she would. Gaaahh, her books just make me thrive in the best way possible.
There are just not enough words in the English dictionary for me to properly articulate my feelings when she releases a new book. There's never enough letters in the alphabet for me to translate into words the love that I have for Pam Godwin and her writing.
