“Dark Feels. I’m bursting at the seams. Ahhhhhh! I love my anti-heroes, and Pam Godwin is insanely talented in redeeming even the most ruthless, brutal, sadistic characters. Tiago. I’m so in love.” ~ Di Covey, Goodreads ReviewerHe’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 … 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.

What a story!!! After Devastate, I truly hated Tiago! He’s was cruel and heartless! He kidnapped Lucia and kept her for years, he tortured Tate and Van.. he was horrible. There was no redemption for him!
Then came Take, and Kate… and some redemption for Tiago. I didn’t think I could have compassion for him, but Pam Godwin did it… she wrote his story, his past and made me feel for him.
Kate is amazing. Her heart is so good even after what she’s gone through. She sees the man behind the monster!
Extraordinary dark romance!
Take is book 5 in the Deliver Series and it must be read in order!
This is not a standalone!
Flawlessly written, I couldn’t get enough of Tiago and Kate’s journey. Theirs is an unconventional explosive journey full of jaw dropping triggers and unexpected twists. Tiago and Kate should be opposites. He is the perfect anti hero and she had another side to get that made them a perfect match.
The push and pull, the intensity and their combustible chemistry had me glued to the pages.
I cannot wait to see wheee this series goes next!
4.5 stars!
I had my doubts that Godwin could make Tiago into a true antihero, one that I could route for and want him to win the heroine. He’s so bad and he’s not sorry about it. He doesn’t apologize for the pain he causes others and I worried I wouldn’t be able to connect to this story. Well, that worry was all for nothing because Godwin is able to bring our two wounded and hurt main characters and bring them together. There are fireworks. There are fights. But most of all, there is an intense passion that unites and heals these two. I adore Kate. She’s smart, she’s been through this rodeo, and she isn’t going to back down from saving her friends. Tiago is so complex, it’s hard to adequately describe him. You need to get to know these characters! 5 star read!!
What have I read? Tiago and Kate’s story is truly a dark romance that is done so well. It sends one on a roller coaster of emotions. This books has to be read in order as Tiago is a character we had met previously. In this book we learn more about what made him the man he is. Kate also grows in this book. She is a strong woman who endures so much. Their sex scenes are scorching whilst the dark scenes are shocking. However, because of this, it is a book I could not put down. Truly brilliantly written and and a wonderful read!
Fifth book in the Deliver series, Take is a new favorite of mine!!!
With her new release, Pam Godwin offers to her readers an amazing story, deliciously dark and depraved with engaging characters and a thrilling plot. In short, I couldn’t put it down!!!
Kate’s story had me intrigued since the very first book, and my curiosity only has only increased since then. Her strength and fierceness, her sweet and caring personality were convincing. She was smart enough to adapt and pick her battles. Tiago was the perfec psychopath, merciless cartel king I loved falling for, but eventually wht drew me in was his multi-layered temperament. Possessive, deviant, volatile, obsessed with love and emotions, he kept me on the edge of my seat all along. I never knew what he would come up with, and the mystery surrounding him was absolutely thrilling.
Raw scenes, challenging moments, heartbreaking chapters and action-packed situations punctuated that breathtaking story. The tone was definitely dark and the matters challenging, for my greatest pleasure.
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!!
Wow! Pam Godwin hit the spot once again! I didn’t know what to think when I heard Tiago Badell would be the hero in Take. Not meant as a standalone you need to read the other books in the series to truly capture all the things happening in here. I already knew Tiago from Devastate and I knew what he was capable of. I had another man in mind for Kate even if after reading Take I can clearly see why Pam chose Tiago over that other guy. It’s not his time yet.
Take is an action packed dark story mixing deceit, passion, pain and redemption. Raw, real and surprising Kate & Tiago’s story is one of a kind. Definitely no heart and flowers but with a lots of hurts and wrong. Even in the darkest place, you can find love. Tiago and Kate sure did.
“Do you want to live, Kate?” She choked on a whimper. “Yes.” “Are you worthy of mercy?” “Yes.” “Convince me.”
Tiago is the perfect example of an anti-hero you love to hate. Rough, unapologetic, he’s the definition of evil but if you scratch the surface you’ll see that actions have reasons. I’m not saying Tiago can’t be forgiven easily but damn his story isn’t an easy one and sanity is often lost in dark times. I had a hard time believing Pam Godwin could can redeem the irredeemable but she did! I should have known she already did with Van Quiso.
Kate is without a doubt my favorite woman in the delivers series! Fierce, full of fight and never giving up, she gives as much as she takes. After being taken 2 times you’d think she’d feel a bit desperate but not at all. Kate fights all the time and show no fear.
“What are you going to do to me?”“Everything you’re dreading and more.”
Take shows you the ugly but also the beautiful because there’s always light in darkness. Now you’ll have to trust Pam to show you the way.
As for me, I’m thrilled about the next book… MMF… yeah I can’t resist
Wow! This book pulled me in from the first page. Tiago is a great anti-hero. Kate was perfect for him. This book captivated me from the beginning. I came to like him by the end. I would of totally gave this book ten stars is possible! MUST READ!

I cannot believe we are on book five in the Deliver series and it is still going strong. Take does not disappoint. Take is Kate’s story. Kate has found herself in the clutches of Tiago Badell. Tiago is the crime lord that Lucia spent years with. Kate has been to hell and back with Van Quiso. This could have made her weaker but I think being with the Freedom Fighters has changed her. I loved that Kate turned out to such a fighter.
Now that Tiago has Kate he does not intend to keep her, but the longer she is with him the more he is intrigued. Once Tiago decides Kate is his she will never escape him. Kate is starting to see the man behind the monster. Her mission is to escape but she is also confused. Are her feelings Stockholm syndrome or is she really starting to care for Tiago?
Tiago is dark and violent and he has a particular kink that I do not read much about. I think as far as baddies go he does not compare to Van Quiso, but he was evil. As Tiago was telling his story, you could see the heart deep within him. He definitely won me over. I was excited with the tie in to another character that I love. It was a great surprise in the story. I am excited to see where the rest of the series is going to take us. Bravo to Pam Godwin for keeping this series fresh and the bad buys bad.
Just a reminder this series must be read in order. Each book is a different couple but an overall plot flowing throughout. In addition, if you have triggers, BEWARE. This series is not for the faint of heart.
Take is a dark, dangerous romance with grit! It’s the fifth book in the Deliver series. The story coincides with the fourth book in the series, Devastate. I highly recommend you read the series in order to be fully acquainted with the dark sinister world of Deliver.
Kate has been taken, again. This time it’s for revenge. Kate is a fighter. She selfless, strong and driven. Tiago Badell is a ruthless crime lord. He’s taken Kate as retribution. Although he had planned on quickly disposing of her, Kate finds away to stay alive.
“There’s nothing more vibrant, more beautiful, or more treasured than the flower that blooms in hell.”
Tiago takes a liking to Kate. He makes it clear that she is his and he will never let her go. Kate discovers what’s behind the shadow of Tiago’s eyes. There is more to his story. A story of pain that has led to a fascination with blood and scarification. Kate becomes conflicted with wanting to escape or finding love in hell. When the opportunity arises for Kate to escape, we discover what it takes to be a real heroine.
This is how you write a dark romance! It had me by the balls. Tiago makes for a formidable anti-hero. He is dark, broody and decadent. Take is one of favorites of 2019. 5 stars
OMG this series just gets better!!! Pam writes the best dark, anti-hero and often disturbing reads, but they are well worth it if this is your thing – this one like the others in this series will push your limits – it is dark, violent and dirty, a captor/captive read that that will push and pull you along the love to hate line – it is so very wrong but oh so very right.
Don’t read this as a standalone, ideally the whole series must be read in order to fully appreciate what is going on in here.
Kate is back in hell after being captured again. She knows that Tiago Badell, the infamous crime lord, has her. She hates him with a passion, at the same time she is terrified of him and even worse finds him outrageously handsome. But she will not submit to him, she fights him at every turn, she is a spitfire.
Tiago has taken Kate as payment for something that was taken from him. She is not what he expected, she fights him at everything he does, and he loves it! As they come to get to know one another a bond develops, she starts to have feelings for the monster, or maybe its just Stockholm syndrome….
This is not a conventional romance, it is very brutal in parts, yet even so there is also some humor in here keeping it balanced. Tiago is the anti hero you will love to hate, he is very badly broken from his past and is the way he is because of this. Yet even so there are soft and swoony moments in here with him, he has some redeeming qualities even though he is bad to the bone.
I loved Kate and her strength of character, even after everything she has been through she still had the ability to look beyond that which you could only see on the surface and look deeper at the meaning behind it all. She saw the worth in Tiago hiding behind the monster that he was.
A fantastic read, one of the best dark romances I’ve read, I love this series and can’t wait for more!
Where do you start with this book. I absolutely loved Kate and Tiagos story.
Captured to settle a debt Tiago underestimates the power of Kate and also her strength grit and determination. Neither of them anticipate the strength of connection mixed with guilt, hatred and all out lust.
This is dark,this is sexy, this is …. well I would say read to find out.
Inter woven with names from the other books but can be read as a stand alone. I suspect we will see more of these too. I also would love to see what Boones has seen.
Well worth five stars. I tried to pace myself but it was tricky .
OMG, this book was AMAZING. So hot, twisted and dirty, like all other books by Pam Godwin. I love her writing and dark stories…Take is the fifth book in the Deliver series and I highly recommend to read all of them in order…So remove your panties if you don’t want them ruined before you start because this is a dark, hot, dirty story.
Tiago Badell is the most ferocious and dangerous crime lord, the King of kidnapping from the kidnap alley in Caracas, Venezuela. I wanted so bad to hate this man, this monster, but I couldn’t. He does terrible things, but as much as I wanted to hate this guy, as much I was drawn to him. I fell in love with him from Devastate.
Once he was a good and honest man, but he was betrayed and that’s why he became the monster he is now. He avenged himself, and run to Caracas. He builds his own crime empire, becoming one of the most wanted, dangerous and ferocious crime lords of the world. His heart is surrounded by walls, just like his empire. He kidnaps Kate as a payback planning to torture her and then killing her, only he doesn’t expect to be blown away by her…His broken soul found his treatment.
Kate is part of the Deliver series even from the first book. She and Josh were Van and Liv’s last captives. Four years had passed since she is free and a member of Freedom Fighters. Although she is free, something is missing from her life, she isn’t content. Van really did a number on her and on her mind. Now she is captured…AGAIN!
She still has her V card intact. Van trained her to give men pleasure other ways, but her V card belonged to the one who was supposed to buy her. She knows that this time she wouldn’t be so lucky. At one point Kate realizes that Tiago Badell is the one who kidnapped her, but she doesn’t know why he captured her.
From all the men in the Deliver series, Tiago is my favorite. I don’t know why, because he is a psycho, a freak, a dangerous, a violent, ruthless, but he is also a very possessive and obsessive motherf@cker with a dirty mouth and mind…I know everyone loves Van, I love him too, but I love Tiago more.
Kate was amazing. From the previous books, I saw her as a weak, quiet and very sensible woman, but with Tiago, she was a spitfire, a real fighter, and a very strong woman. She was sassy and sarcastic. I just loved her.
This book had everything I want and like in a book. It was raw, dark, twisted, but also hot, dirty, and fun. Can’t wait for the new books in this series.
I highly recommend this series!
OUTSTANDING.
This story was pure dark and twisted deliciousness.
Pam Godwin took one of the most irredeemable antiheroes, made him human, and made me fall in love with him.
Still trying to figure out how she did that.
With her eloquent writing, her expertise sucked me right in.
She pushed my boundaries.
Made me want things I shouldn’t want.
Certain things seemed so wrong…disturbing…yet they felt so right.
I found myself questioning my morals, maybe even my sanity.
Genius.
Kate, so strong-willed, with her fiery personality, is a complete badass. She’s been through hell and back and she refuses to back down.
Tiago Badell is pure evil. Pretty sure he’s missing a heart. The spitfire that is Kate, is exactly what he needs, craves, and must have. The chemistry between these two was sizzling hot, it blew through the roof.
Take is full of wicked passion, filthy goodness I couldn’t get enough of. Raw, emotionally intense scenes had my heart pounding from cover to cover. I craved more and more with each turn of the page. I lived and breathed this story.
I cannot recommend this book enough. If you’ve read the other books in this series, you will want to read this one.
Imagine the despair upon discovering that your life has led you back to becoming a captive. For Kate – the circumstances that led up to her capture didn’t prepare her for discovering the chains that now bind her. Unveiling the circumstances of Kate’s capture leads her to realize so many things went ‘wrong’. As her reality sinks in, Kate realizes her capture is none other than Tiago Bell.
From her previous time as a captive, Kate knows that her circumstances will be nothing like the time she spent with Van. Tiago is ruthless and is determined to make Kate pay for the sins of others. A dark and possessed soul that lives to torment those under his roof. Kate knows that her life is no longer in her hands, but determination fuels her to find a way to overcome the odds.
Nothing about Kate’s captivity is ‘normal’ for Tiago. Everything about Kate draws Tiago from his need for destruction while taunting him with her vulnerability. Tiago’s motivation I driven by his need to make another pay for their transgressions. Through it all, Kate manages to escape the ultimate price of death. What transpires is a war between to souls determined to make the other ‘break’. Pain and surrender ignites a desperation in these desperate souls. What unfolds is a relationship fueled by passion, indecision, and mutual respect.
Whew…..hold onto your reader! Pam Godwin has written another gripping novel in the Deliver series that is sure to taunt you with the darkness that exudes from the pages. As Kate finds herself back in the confines of captivity, the intensity of Tiago’s vengeance leads readers on a journey that is truly unforgettable. The attraction between Tiago and Kate becomes an ever constant presence in the midst of all the anger and despair.
Take is a journey of strength, perseverance and finding the light amid the darkness. As with the rest of the Deliver series, I found myself devouring every single morsel of what transpired between the pages of this book. Discover all the nuances that Tiago and Kate provide in their journey to redemption. It’s a journey that you will not be able to shy away from. Dive in, discover Tiago and the turmoil that unfolds in his wake.
5 out of 5 stars
Tiago Befell is evil and he is out for blood . Kate is the one thing that he can have and noone can take away . When he takes Kate he doesn’t realize the power she will have over him . He may be evil but when she is with him there is more to life then the evil that he has lived in for so long . Is there a way he can have her and have a life away from the evil that has blackened his heart .
All i can say about these character . I thought that the characters in Devastate were well written . That is where we first meet Tiago . In take . the author builds on the the character and makes him very complex. He is not what he seems to be . He is evil but there is a reason behind his evilness . He is an alpha , dominate and oh so sexy, but there is another side to Tiago a side that he realy doesn’t show that often . With Kate he starts to show that side just a little . The side where he worships her and maybe can actually love her in his own twisted way . Kate well what can i say about her , she is a fighter and all she wants to do is get away . She sometimes comes off a little naive . She has been through so much first being taken and locked away by Van surviving that and then being taken by Tiago. Most woman would just give up but not Kate, like i said she is a fighter . Always thinking of a way to get away from Tiago . Then she doesn’t want to she becomes more to him and she doesn’t want to run away . She is a survivor and you will want to just wrap her up and tell her everything will be ok . Each character is great all by themselves but when they are put together the are explosive . You will love them trust me .
I was so excited to get this book I have been waiting to see if the author would write Tiago’s story and boy she didn’t disappoint . This book is so emotional I will admit there wer parts of this book wher i had to set the book down and walk away for a few mins . I seriously think this is the darkest book the author has written . She takes us to places that will have you seriously thinking what the heck did i just read . The characters are so well written and you will love them and hate them at the same time . I honestly didn’t know if the author could redeem Tiago but i must admit she did . The twist towards the end of the book had me gasping with surprise . I ugly cried a couple of times so be prepared . If you want a book that will have you on the edge of your seat all the way through . This is the book for you . You don’t really need to read the book before but i would just to get the feeling for Tiago . There is no cliff hanger so there is a happily ever after . Check it out I promise you will love this book.
OMG, Pam released a new dark romance! YES! My guilty pleasure!
Take by Pam Godwin is mindblowing. She takes her readers on a ride of unforgettable moments. Pam brings her characters to life with such amazing details and emotions. Great story with lots of twists.
Loved.
Wow! Just wow! Pam Godwin is brilliant! I absolutely love her dark stories. The angst tension twists and turns keep me on my toes! But then the darkness comes in and just captures me until I’m left reeling. I devoured this book just like I have all her others and with each one it gets better and better. Must read author for a reason. This series is a must read! So dark! I’ll be thinking about some of things I read for days and weeks to come. Definitely recommend this to dark read lovers! Perfection at its finest right here y’all!!
LOVE Pam Godwin Dark romances…
Take (Deliver#5) by Pam Godwin Kate unlike her fellow freed captives has had a hard time adjusting to life after her sexual conditioning at the hands of Van. Now she finds herself kidnapped again but this time by the infamous crime lord Tiago Badell. We already know how sadistic and cruel he can be from reading Devasate. Tied up in rags and alone Kate knows she is in big trouble but she refuses to go down without a fight. This story was more than I could have every expected. For me this book is the best one out of the four previous books. I have read many of this author’s books and really enjoy how she tells a story especially when it is dark and twisted. This story lived up to it and more with some twist and turns in the story I didn’t see coming. For a very bad villain I absolutely fell in love with Tiago and can see how Kate was able to fall for him. A really good story that left me truly satisfied and ticked all my boxes. 5 stars for me. I would love a book about the next chapter in their life.
