“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.

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!!

This dark, twisted series is one of my favorites! Omg! When Van Quiso was redeemed I thought…wow. I actually like him now. But Tiago Badell? What a freaking amazing story! Kate has always wanted to stand on her own and I really admired her feistiness when faced with a devil who just wanted to torture and kill her. I loved all of the twists and how Tiago would not let her go. What a rollercoaster of emotions! This story sucked me in and didn’t let me go until the very last page. I just need more of these vigilantes!
I can’t to read more dark, dark, dark from Pam Godwin. She knows how to twist things up so tight that I’m on edge and tensed up to see what she comes up with next. It’s like a rush!
I love Pam Godwin’s words. The way she weaves a story that is dark, suspenseful and beautiful is an art form. With ever page I turned in Take I was both shocked and enraptured. Pam Godwin as always takes darkness to the next level. However with in all the depravity is a beautiful love story. One that truly shows the meaning of the saying the love conquers all.
In Take we find Kate has been taken again this time by Tiago. We see the marrow that makes up this strong and powerful young women. When circumstances that would normally break someone especially someone with her past she finds an inner strength that is inspiring. Pam Godwin is a master of developing a character that is pure evil and then making you fall for him. At about 75% I thought I had Stockholm’s Syndrome. I fell for Tiago.
The series overall is one of my top 10 dark romance. I have re-read the series each time she adds a new book to the series. Every time I find I fall in love again with the deviants and darkness.
If anyone can take someone ugly, ruthless, and dark then paint them in a way for a reader to see beauty, selflessness and light then that is what this author accomplished with Tiago. By far one of my favorite books!!!! it’s STEAMY, it’s EDGY, it’s full of action, twists I never saw coming and of course the ending?!?!. I had to stop myself from reading it in one sitting. Call me greedy but I didn’t want it to end!!!
Intense. That is the one word that best describes Take.
Grrrr, I hated Tiago Badell in Devastate, he is a ruthless and notorious crime lord, specializing in kidnapping and torturing his victims. He kidnapped Lucia and poisoned her for 11 years then captured and tortured Tate.
In Take, we get to know more about the man and how/why he received his notoriety. Tiago is a mystery, an enigma but also a tortured and troubled soul. You will hate him and you will love him.
“She feared him down to the marrow of her bones. Desired him with every fiber of her sexuality. Cursed him to the ends of her pride and back.”
The Deliver series in a whole is a phenomenal read and what I love about it is that Pam Godwin gives readers strong and fierce heroines. Take was filled with suspense, intrigue and surprises.
Release date for Take (Deliver #5) April 2, 2019.
When Kate is kidnapped she realises her captor is none other than Tiago Badall, a name she knows well as he held her friend Camilo Dias sister Lucia hostage for 11 years.
Head of the streets of Caracas, the ruthless, fearsome gang leader is know as a psychopath.
He hunts and kills, and Kate knows her chances of survival are slim.
One thing Kate never considered is Tiago’s heart, is he as evil as his name, is there valid reasons for his horrendous crimes and activities.
Take will capture you from the very first page and I really hope this series continues.
Exceptionally disturbing at its finest! Pam, as always, can give you the most despicable, hated and tormented character, and make you love him! Tiago, from book 4 Devastate, returns in Take as Kate’s captor. He is ruthless with Kate, but he finds himself overtaken with her inter strength. This series continues getting better!
Another great book in this series! This author always manages to make me fall in love with her characters no matter what I think at the beginning! I loved it!
Tiago Badell is the best Anti Hero I think I have ever read, he is dark and twisted beyond anything you could ever imagine
reading and he apologizes for nothing he is who he is and most say a monster and when he captures Kate one of the freedom fighters who is feisty and sassy and will not give in she peaks his interest on all levels and captivates his every thought.
I really liked seeing Tiagos past and now knowing why he is the way he is this couple have been through so much it blows your mind and you so desperately want to help them beacause they surprise you at every turn, the way they speak the determination, the chemistry that cannot and will not be denied they will have your heart racing and you will feel everything as you read this the writing is beyond anything you will read its that good filled with so much emotion I couldn’t get enough of Tiago .and Kate.
Only Pam Godwin could take a character that was a complete sadist, pyschopath and redeem him and make you root for him to get a HEA!!!! How on Earth does she do this? I think I need my head examined, lol, because I totally 100% became #TeamTiago in this book and that may be the most disturbing thing that’s happened to me so far this year! Ha!
This book was dark and depraved and perverse and sexy and swoon-worthy and action packed and surprising and what is this insanity? It’s love, “love is insanity.” Sometimes a series becomes stale the longer it goes on…not this one, Pam just upped her game and I can’t wait to read Ricky and Martin’s book (squeeee!!!)
If you like dark, violent, sexy books I HIGHLY recommend you start this series. You will be floored!
Tragic and hopeful in the mood, vicious and tender in sentiments, punishing and redeeming in the characterization, the story holds you hostage with words. Powerful words from unforgiving pen of Godwin. She doesn’t hold much back, painting these people in all the shades of grey. They ALL walk a thin line between love and hate, taking the readers by surprise at every turn.
I loved the mighty Tiago and the strong Amazonian woman that is Kate. Mettle of steel and heart of lioness. I love the wonderful women that Pam creates. They stand shoulder to shoulder with the men and often save the men in distress. From Liv to Camila to Lucia to Kate #WomenPower is strong in her stories !!
I’ve been waiting for the stoory of Tiago Badell – Most Dangerous Men in the World since I read Devastate. His intriguing personality was calling my name and Pam has delivered him straight in to my hands.
He’s mysterious & omnipotent. His mystique and aura just splays like a dark cloud in the pages. Sexy as Devil, all Powerful like him too, I’m so enamoured by his range of proclivities & fetishes. I could even call him an artist of sorts
He was madness with straight, white teeth. Corruption with glowing skin. A nightmare in a designer suit.
Kate is automatically pulled into his orbit, She’s captive, helpless and at his mercy.
A perfect setting for Stockholm Syndrome to set in………
Or is it?
She was a human being with an expiration date,
You’ll fall in love with this book, this series and the brain behind it all.
It’s a juggernaut of emotions, throttling down towards you at full speed. It railroads you with passion, overruns you with fear and shakes you with heightened sense of danger.
You CANNOT remain untouched or unmoved.
“We both need this escape. You can take from me. I’ll take from you, and just for a little a while, let’s get lost in it.”
I’d do what Kate did in a heartbeat, I’d do what Tiago did in a nanosecond…….and I’d definitely do what Boones did unquestionably.
Only noblest of hearts can accept and endure, obey and acquiesce, to find redemption.
5 stars for Spit, Cum, Sweat, Blood
This…. how Pam Godwin can manipulate your feelings for a character…. you go from loathing Tiago to feelings you never imagined for this character… to go from praying for Kate’s escape to wishing to hoping to praying that they find each other…. it’s dark, it’s raw, it’s passionate, it’s possessive, its emotional, it’s an epic love story that will have you regretting the turn of the last page and wishing that you could start all over again…. bravo Pam Godwin, bravo five stonking stars, more if I could…. this….
This was a dark twisty seductive read about Tiago and Kate. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this heart pounding, thrilling, dark and intriguing story. This series just keeps getting darker and twistier. The villains are somehow able to become redeemable with Pam Godwin’s genius writing and her dark beautiful mind. Absolutley love this series and my heart can’t wait to read the next one.
As far as I am concerned, Pam Godwin is a total rockstar when it comes to writing her dark tales! If she were the last writer on the planet, I would be perfectly happy with that.
TAKE is Kate and Tiago’s story of revenge, lust and obsession
And Pam’s writing will leave you begging for more.
I am a huge fan of the dark and this book does not disappoint!
Kate is this young woman who has already been through so much in her short life and has come out of it alive….she’s kind of an “act now, ask questions later” type of person and the situation she finds herself in with Tiago, the beast who has taken her, is no different.
But with Tiago, not all is as it seems and he’s really a good man with just a couple of “issues”. I actually really loved him!!
The chemistry created by Pam for these characters is quite, simply put, flawless.
They’re far from perfect, but perfect together. And together, they make a pretty perfect pair.
I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series. Wait! ALL the books in this series. I’m looking forward to all the books!
I don’t know how Pam does it but she managed to make Tiago redeemable when I thought he couldn’t be. Lana~White Hot Reads
Tiago has met his match in captive Kate. He’s drawn to her beauty, sharp tongue and ability to fight back. He shows her sides that he has never shown anyone before and even though he does some horrible things, he does them with care. Kate is one tough cookie who starts to have feelings for Tiago and not sure if its love or what. In the end, these two overcome so much to be with each other and will give it all to make it work.
“When he wasn’t scaring the @#$% out of her, he was sucking her in with his charisma” … An overriding principle of the universe is that Pam Godwin can do no wrong! THIS BOOK is simply profane and profound. Just get yourself a comfy chair, sumpin’ smooth to drink, and a fan because you’re gonna need all three! A notorious crime lord and his resilient captive. Tons of dark and edgy. This incongruous couple is ironically the best one yet in the series and definitely the most riveting and romantic with incredible action. Plus, their story offers the most bang for your buck that you’ll ever get, and there’s a good deal of nail-biting déjà vu before the end, including ingenious use of beloved characters from this and another series. Tiago, the beguiling lunatic, is unlike any other anti-hero. He’ll revile, charm and often leave you brokenhearted and deeply touched. But, when all is said and done, you’ll embrace this couple like no other.
This series is one that has me biting my nails for each release. Absolutely love reading about this group of friends known as the Freedom Fighters. Each one certainly deserves to tell their story and Pam delivers with each book.
Kate and Tiago’s story provides us with quite the punch! Tiago is the crime lord and Kate stands up for everything she believes in. Remember, Kate was trained by the master manipulator himself, Van Quiso.
“If you love someone and they don’t reciprocate, what happens? You love them harder, deeper, more obsessively. Roadblocks don’t diminish desire. They intensify it. Obstacles heighten the obsession.”
The road to redemption for Tiago is one of mass destruction. There isn’t a country that doesn’t have a bounty for his head! The day that Kate becomes his possession, the markings begin.
Absolutely loved Tiago and Kate!

Kate is my new favorite heroine. She’s has the best set of of lady cojones ever. Lord how badly I wanted to hate Tiago. Like, he’s the man you really wanted to kill some day in the book world. Well….. hell….. my axis has now been shifted. Pam Godwin has a way of throwing many twists at you and you think to yourself well SOB. The Deliver series series just keeps getting better. After Tate, I didn’t think it was possible. I was proven wrong. And I even feel bad for a lost secondary character if that’s possible. Weird, I know!
This dark, twisty story was really good. Some of it was hard to take but all in all really good. Pam Godwin gives you characters you never thought you’d love but holy crap, you do. Once I started, I didn’t want to stop. I devoured it. This was definitely a major book hangover. I want more!
Hold onto your seat because TAKE, #5 in the Deliver series by Pam Godwin, is going to take you on a bumpy ride! First, while there are no cliff hangers in this series, the books MUST be read in order. You will truly be lost and not enjoy all this series has to offer if you jump in too soon. Having said that, I have to admit I did not think I would love this story as much as I did. How could Tiago have any redeeming qualities, and how could I possibly end up rooting for his HEA? Well, this is what Pam Godwin does best and Take is no exception. From the very beginning I was hooked and could not put down my Kindle. I just wanted to devour the story of Kate and Tiago, their chemistry pulled me in so deep. Their story tugs at so many different and conflicting emotions, you will experience all of them before you reach the end. And what an incredible ending it is! Absolutely perfect! I had tears in my eyes for a while until I got there – some sad, some happy – and a huge smile by the time it was over.
Thank you Pam so much for another amazing journey into this dark, cruel, yet slightly beautiful world you’ve created. I can’t wait for Martin’s story!
5 “Love Is Insanity” stars!
Tiago Badell is one of the wealthiest most powerful crime lords in Venezuela. He’s made a living off others misery, and is known for being a heartless, manipulative, merciless man. He recently abducted a woman from Texas named Kate and is deciding what her fate will be.
Kate is being held captive by a ruthless monster known for torturing his prisoners. He was deranged, and scared the living hell out of her. Her reality was there was a good chance she’d never be found. She would likely be there until she escaped or died. She was angry her freedom had been ripped away, and had grown impatient, defiant, desperate, and reckless in her isolation. She longed for her friends and fresh air, but refused to be the victim or let him see her fear. She’s stronger than she looks, and decides she has nothing to lose. She had to figure out how to deal with a psychopath who enjoyed mind games. He liked to be feared and demanded control. Compassion didn’t exist in his world, and she wondered what made him this cold-hearted and cruel. He seemed one-dimentional, but she soon begins to see there’s a lot more to Tiago Badell than his reputation and what you see on the surface.
Tiago is a man of patience and purpose, not impulse and emotion, but he finds himself intrigued with Kate. She becomes a temptation that challenges and excites him. She’s captivating, and devastatingly beautiful. He’s breaking all his own rules for her, and she’s resurrecting and piercing through his dead, vicious black soul. The chemistry between them burns hot as his obsession grows. His hunger for her is insatiable under his crumbling resistance.
Things get very complicated for Kate as she’s held against her will. She’s trapped with a man who provokes every emotion to the extreme. Terror, hatred, curiosity, and attraction. He made her crave things she should never want from him. He scrambles her mind, and the connection and intimacy between them shredded her. His touch felt like he was bringing her to life and destroying her all at once. He was seductive, aggressive, and disturbing. He possessed all her senses, and she hated the effect he had on her. He drove her to the edge of pleasure and pain, and she was drowning in passion. She couldn’t explain her feelings. How could she ache for her tormentor? He was messing with her head while stealing her breath with desire. He worships and hurts her in equal measure and he shows her a devoted, tender side she didn’t think existed. Could she be the one to make him feel again and be his salvation?
Take is book five in the Deliver series. The books must be read in order, and Deliver book one in the series is currently free. https://amzn.to/2qEylc1 This series is amazing, and this book is my favorite. It’s dark, sinful, and brilliant! Pam Godwin truly is the Queen of Dark Romance. She creates the most wicked evil men, and then somehow makes me fall for them. Her writing is fabulous, and her books take you on a crazy exciting ride. I couldn’t get enough of Tiago Badell and loved every beautiful twisted layer of this intense, intoxicating man!
