Manipulate (Deliver Book 6) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 384 ratings

"Laced with danger and intrigue, Manipulate obliterates the idea that there is only one true love." ~ NYT bestselling author Aleatha Romig

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.

Pam Godwin
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

4 out of 5 stars
"The moment we kissed you, you became ours. Our girl."
Manipulate is the sixth book in the Deliver Series and once again Pam Godwin has delivered a deliciously dark and sultry contemporary erotic romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire read. Martin and Ricky have gone deep undercover into Jaulaso (the most violent prison in Mexico). Their mission is to uncover information about the infamous Cartel Boss Hector La Rocha. They were not prepared to meet a woman who would change everything and make them whole. Tula Gomez is an innocent woman who is simply fighting to survive. When she is tasked with getting to know Martin and Ricky, an unbreakable bond is formed and the three will never be the same again! Told in third person POV, Manipulate is smoking hot with complex characters and a complex plot. The relationship between the three was intense as they were forced to survive deplorable conditions. Tula was quite spirited and the transformation that Ricky and Martin had together was simply stunning! Overall, this series would appeal to dark romance readers who enjoy a trip down the erotic (and smoking hot) rabbit hole! I highly recommend a little Ricky, Martin, and Tula to all of my dark romance reading friends!

    *Reminder, although these books are standalones, they are interconnected and a continuation of a story, so they MUST be read in order*

    Not surprisingly Manipulate gripped me from the beginning. The introduction of Tula was a brutal one. Tula lives a normal, quiet life as a school teacher in Arizona. When she receives a call from her sister Vera that she is in trouble Tula goes to help her. Sadly, she should have stayed home. Tula is falsely accused and thrown in a Mexican prison. To survive she aligns herself with the monster that Ricky and Martin are after.

    Ricky and Martin are Freedom Fighters and Van and Liv’s former slaves. Their latest mission has taken them to Mexico. They have arrived at the prison to gather info to take down Hector La Rocha. They soon discover that their way in is with Tula Gomez. Tula has been tasked with seducing both men and they are alright with that. The attraction is instant and out of this world hot. But they are in a constant war with each other and themselves. Building trust is hard when your life is on the line every second. The dynamic between Ricky and Martin was FIRE. Fans of this series know that these two care about each other but in Manipulate you finally find out how deep it is. You also learn why Martin is so closed off from Ricky and why he can’t forgive Van. Ricky has his work cut out for him trying to get through to Martin. Although the circumstances are brutal, going to Mexico, and meeting Tula is the best thing that could have happened to them. Tula becomes their glue.

    I thought the chemistry between Ricky and Martin was insane. I could give the book five stars just for Ricky and Martin’s dynamic. I also loved the little touch of humor with Ricky and Martin’s names. I adored Tula. For a girl that was just a school teacher she was a fighter. I don’t know how she held on as long as he did, but she deserved her HEA.

    This was a great addition to the series. I would have to say it is one of my favorites. Anytime I get scenes with Van I am one happy girl, so I was excited. PG sets the stage for more baddies to enter the story and it is great set up for Luke’s story. I don’t know how she keeps this series flowing without it becoming stale. I can’t wait to see where the last few books take us. Well done!

    4 "she's the one we've been waiting for" stars

    *Just a reminder, although these books are standalones, they are interconnected and a continuation of a story, so they MUST be read in order*

    Holy moly, Pam unleashed some dark and crazy torture scenes in this one, so grab a stiff drink and prepare to be shocked, lol, but also prepare for a really beautiful love story.

    Tula Gomez has been framed, sentenced to prison in one of the worst prisons in Mexico for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, all while trying to bail he sister out of another jam. Her life in prison is rough and she's showed she is strong by surviving but she's about to be tested in a different way when Ricky and Martin show up!

    Ricky and Martin are part of the "freedom fighters," former captives of Van Quiso and Liv Reed, trying to slowly decimate the sex slave trade ring that once sealed their fate. They are planted as drug traffickers in Jaulaso prison to try and get close to Hector La Rocha, who they think is at the top of the chain in the sex slave operation they are trying to take down. The person who seems to be closest to Hector is Tula, the only women in Area Three, a portion of the prison controlled by La Rocha cartel. If you remember, Ricky has been in love with Martin for ages, but Martin has always shut him down over not ruining their fantastic friendship...Ricky just assumed Martin wasn't in to men, but has he been wrong about that? Tula is immediately fascinated by the two men and Hector encourages her to get close to them to find out if they are spies. What ensues is the beginning of a beautiful love story between the three set in one of the harshest environment's on the planet. Only Pam could give us the tender moments and emotional revelations with this backdrop and make it seem authentic, make it work well for the characters and the story. But don't be fooled, there's much more bloodshed and shocking revelations left to come!

    I enjoyed the story between Tula and Ricky Martin (that always made me laugh!) and it was certainly hot but yet tinged with darkness due to Martin's past. My only complaint was I felt the overall progression of the story took a bit of a backseat to their love story until the last 25% and then bam, wowza, what an ending! Definitely curious to find out where the story is going with the next round of characters! On a side note, the beginning scenes with Amber and Van...thank you, thank you for including them Pam, I'll take all the Van I can get!

    I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, if you like dark romance you are doing yourself a disservice by not starting this series ASAP, it's one of the best dark romance series I have ever read!
