Tula, Ricky, Martin…….. Ok so my last review I said I didn’t think Pam could shock me again well yeah she did. This story broke my heart for more than one reasons and I didn’t want it to end. I wanted more and more !!! Tula was a warrior and dame I was proud of her. Ricky was devoted, strong, sexy, protective and oh so loveable! Martin bless his heart was closed off, defensive, protective, sexy, strong then open, honest, loveable and amazing! This story got all my feels going!! Thank you again Pam for letting me into your stories and for the ARC!! I think you’re amazing !!
This series is killing me! Every book has damaged people who struggle to get over the abuse in their past. I loved that this book was a m/f/m. This one truly hit me hard. Martin, Ricky, and Tula were fighting for each other. Martin’s past was heartbreaking and very hard to read. Tula didn’t want to believe the human trafficking was true. This author has a way of writing that can truly make you cringe. It truly does make you think about those things. I truly got lost in this book.
A case of mistaken identity lands Petula ‘Tula’ Gomez in the most notorious and violent prison in Mexico, will the appearance of Americans, Ricardo Saldivar and Martin Lockwood be her salvation?
Tula is courageous and resilient in situations that would surely make any normal person want to give up and our Freedom Fighters, Ricky and Martin, are on a mission to further rid the world of human traffickers. Charged with uncovering information on the notorious kingpin of the La Roche cartel, our Freedom Fighters see Tula as their way in, but of course, their unlikely alliance becomes so much more.
This installment of the Deliver series will indeed test your fortitude, dark and depraved from the very start, the injustices portrayed will definitely have you believing that vigilante justice is the only real answer. Full of heartbreak and shocking revelations, Manipulate will deliver all the emotions, as our trio chooses life and ultimately love.
Hot AF mmf, my absolute FAV, and Ms. Godwin nailed it – the passion, the emotions – this one will keep you flipping pages until 2am even though you know the kids first day of school vaca begins in the morning and you’ll be ripping your hair out before breakfast time.
She slayed me with Joshua’s story in Deliver, and every title since then in the Deliver Series, has left me salivating, trembling, and whimpering for more.
A must read for anyone who loves the dark, the touch of horror, the gratification that comes from reading a consuming sex scene. Yeah. All that.
The queen of dark romance has done it again! Manipulate is my new favorite in the Deliver series! I loved Tula and “Ricky Martin’s” story! Manipulate grabbed me right from the start and wouldn’t let go. I would give it 100 stars if I could.
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 Gordon’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…

MY MOST FAVORITE ONEE YET. Take and Manipulate are my most favorite in the series and call me crazy but this Antihero series is EVERYTHING. This is book six in the Deliver series that follow Ricky and Martin who were victims/survivors and now a vigilante group stopping the darkness in there world. This is a Polyamory Romance that is my absolute favorite trope and the way Pam writes it and everything else she released is CHEFS KISSES. They go undercover to a prison in Mexico where Tula who is being held due to false identity and is put through the ringer and learns to survive in the prison life. I’m being super vague just because i want my review to post but also because I don’t want to post any spoilers.
This series needs to be read in order with the suspense and action into the plot getting more and more intriguing by each books. I’m still at the edge of my bed with this series. Ricky’s commitment to Martin and devotion they have towards each other is just beyond beautiful to read. They have been best friends since there escape from there capture and Ricky has been harboring feelings but Martin cant get out of his head still coping after seven years to his trauma. Enter Tula and she is the glue to there dynamic emotionally healing them from there trauma TOGETHER. It’s beautiful to read and i cant get over that!!
15/5 rating because LORDDDDD not only the relationship in this read was amazing but the most intriguing the story line is getting and Pam does know how to tease her readers
Wow! Another great book in the dark and captivating Deliver series. I hold each of these characters in a special place in my heart. They’ve all been hurt and suffered in their lives. Yet they continue to prove themselves strong, fight for others and never give up. This is Martin, Ricky and Tula’s story.
I don’t believe I would have had the strength that Tula did to survive living in a Mexican prison, especially for the length of time she did. I can’t imagine her fear as she faced the reality that became her life. The initial interrogation alone would have broken me.
Martin and Ricky are both great characters. Their past experience with Van made them extremely close friends and they share a connection that is unique. However it’s not the memory of what Van did that tortures Martin, but something horrible from his childhood. He wont talk about it, and Ricky has watched it haunt and affect Martin for years. Ricky wants so badly to help, but it isn’t until they meet Tula that Martin is able to finally start opening up and to begin to heal. The connection that forms among Martin, Ricky and Tula is beautiful. It’s strong and it’s binding. Together they help heal each other while living in one of the most dangerous places they could be. They still have an agenda and it will be harder than any of them could have imagined.
Luke’s story is next and I can’t wait to see why Vera did what she did to Tula.
4.5 Stars
Pam Godwin sure knows how to write seduction and suspense. Every book she writes draws the reader in and allows them to feel every emotion of the characters. From tragedy to ecstasy, you experience it all. There is nothing better than an author that can pull emotion out of you and make you feel. I recommend everything this author writes!
Manipulate so far my favourite in the Deliver series!! It is an intense, heart wrenching and survival story.
Tula gomez is sent to prison for a crime she didn’t commit. She helps a leader in prison to keep herself safe. There are new inmates Ricky and Martin, she agrees to seduce them as the leader and group found them suspicious.
Unpredictable, loneliness, manipulative and gripping is what I would describe this story!!
I did wish a certain revenge was done more gruesome than explained but it was understable considering the time. (not trying to spoil anything)
This is an MMF story, with MF, MM and MMF scenes so if this is not what interests you be aware.
Every now and then you come across a series that hits you where you need to be hit, and this is that series for me. It’s dark, depraved, antiheroes galore, and at the heart is a band of rebel freedom fighters that teach you the true meaning of redemption.
Manipulate is the 6th book in the series. It features Ricky, Martin, and Tula. First off, let me say that Tula is a badass goddess. Being thrown in to one of the most violent prisons in Mexico would have broken most people. Not Tula. She adapted and even excelled in her new role in her new life at the side of the leader of the La Roche cartel. Not to say the beginning wasn’t torture, but she quickly learned what she needed to do to survive. When Ricky and Martin come to the prison, the distrust of the two is immediate, but so is the attraction Tula feels for them. What she doesn’t realize is, they are there to take down her boss, and she’s their way in.
Their story is as beautiful as it is depraved. The light balances the dark very well, and by that I mean that this is a fluffy story. It’s not. What I mean is that, even in the most horrendous of circumstances, these characters manage to salvage something worthy. Even when it appears that the world is crashing around them and there is no hope, there is something tangible to cheer for. I wouldn’t even call this just a love story, because I think it is so much more. It’s a story about tenacity, resilience, justice, AND love.
2020 Must Read!!!
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!!
I really liked this book. I liked that we got to know more about Martin and Ricky. Also how Martin met Van and what happened to him. His past wasn’t flowers and sunshine and it made him who he was as adult. They were so great together and you could feel that they belong to each other. I liked Tula and she was such a great heroine. She did what she had to do because she didn’t have any other choice. She and the guys were so perfect for each other. Can’t wait for next book.
This series just keeps on giving more. More darkness, more depravity, more love, and so much more steamy sexiness. I love the ongoing storyline and the cameos from previous characters especially Vanquiso. I love mmf ménage so Tula, Martin, and Ricky were always going to be a hit for me. And I wasn’t disappointed. With brilliant twists and gut wrenching turns, this is an absolute must read! Manipulate is the sixth book in the exciting and thrilling Deliver series. You won’t want to miss it! Fantastic narration too.
