Complicate

Amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced and exciting entry to the series. Complicate is the kind of story where you don't want to put it down until you finish it, but really don't want it to end. The suspense is non-stop. The steamy scenes are raw, dirty, and very titillating. Read until my eyes hurt as I was anxious to find out more about Cole and Lydia's story. I will not go into the storylines, as I don't want to spoil your fun in reading the book for yourself. But it is definitely worth your time to read. Another home run from Pam Godwin and I loved every single syllable in this book. The more you read the more you could not stop. At"Dublin, Ireland"(Three weeks later) I knew at this point it was a "fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride" moment that keeps me clinging to the plot for an exciting climax. Hated for it to end, but loved the ending. Pam did save the best for last. A tight story with well-defined and fleshed-out characters. What a way to end the series! Highly recommended!

Cole was……. Cole’s story touched……. Cole felt…… well, it was just everything! I am so sad this series is done because it is one of the most intriguing, dark, violent, emotional, brutal, engaging, and intensive series you will ever come across, now, in the past, or in the future. Cole gives us the grand finale, and he wasn’t even there for the beginning, but he made his way into this group, and by doing so, found his home. The same can be said for when he finds his woman, his new, his forever HEA. See, Cole broke a heart, shattered it, before, and then in return, had his own heart removed to give that other heart a chance to beat and glow again. We got to see that, and the man that it set loose is where we meet up with Cole again. This time though, this time, he has met his match, and our deeply emotional, wonderfully cynical, and obsessively protective man doesn’t even think, he reacts. He reacts because he knows, deep down at first, but he accepts it eventually, this is the ying to his yang. As strong as him, as independent as him, as determined as him, and able to meet him emotion for emotion, blow for blow, obsession for obsession. And when that peace and acceptance settles onto Cole, you feel it in your own soul. When Cole get’s back everything that has been in limbo, on hold, stashed away, for years, you smile and feel the joy that he got a new and better life back. When Cole, in the epilogue, is doing what he wants, with his people all around him, you give an evil Van grin because you know it is so right, and just, and perfect, and exactly where he should be <3

“This devil was far more deadly, possessive, protective, deeply passionate, and complicated. She stared into the soul of a man she could fall in love with.” Complicate ended Pam Godwin’s Deliver series on a gritty, edgy, violent and emotional roller coaster that I loved every twisty turny stomach clenching heart breaking moment of. Cole was the main character in The Tangled Lies series and has been playing a role in the last several Deliver series books. I have been waiting for his HEA and Lydia did not disappoint. At the end of the previous book Cole was being kidnapped by Lydia. She threatens his friends and tortures him for information on one of his past missions. During their time he becomes obsessed with Lydia and when Cole escapes he spends the next 14 months chasing her across Europe. They work together to exact revenge for her fathers death, stop the baddest of baddies and realize their level of messed up matches each other perfectly. Oh Cole, sweet Cole. He would hate being called that but the depth of emotion he has is just overwhelming. If you haven’t read The Tangles Lies series I don’t know if you will full appreciate Cole as a character- that’s just my opinion. He really loves his family of Freedom Fighters, the struggle to come to terms with letting Danni go and then the trauma Lydia puts him through. Cole has to forgive Lydia for her actions in order for them to have a future. Cole is just the most wonderful flawed, damaged, obsessive, protective hero. How does Pam take characters that we shouldn’t like- in this case Lydia- and create a feeling of empathy. The situations / past experiences that come to light allow the reader to see how and why the villain behaves as they did. She creates a profound sense of compassion for characters that without context you should hate. I really did not like Lydia for the first half of the book but damn she turned it around. As a series ending I felt Cole was the perfect character to wrap it all up. I loved this quote: “When she started this mission twelve years ago, she had one purpose. Revenge. When Cole started this mission fourteen months ago, he had a different purpose. Rescue. He’d claimed her in Texas, and at that moment, he’d become her champion. He’d fought against it. She’d fought it, too. But in the end, he laid down life and limb to do what heroes did. He rescued his girl.” CW: Rape, abuse- mental and sexual, murder, violence
