Tortured is an absolute understatement –
You know how they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions – for Gringo his road was finalized a long time ago
Now he is just playing with his demons- biding his time till the final curtain call
This is His story -Unrestrained – Primitive – RAW
Who is Gringo?
He is death cloaked as a shadow that passes in the corner of your eye
He is the darkness that serenely envelopes your soul – leaving no evidence of his consumption
He is justice and he has no qualms about doing what is needed to get what he wants –
But-
Just when you think you think he is lost –
consumed by his darkness –
scarcely a hint of light passes through the shadows in his eyes – Just enough that you see the man behind the monster and you understand that his need for retribution – it becomes justified – Real
What does he want?
He wants his woman –
And may the gods hear your cries of mercy if he finds you have laid harm to her – because he will not…

from love to hate – from understanding to condemnation-
This ends on a cliffhanger – but trust me when I tell you – it is worth every cliff-hanging -nail breaking moment

What a rollercoaster!
4,5 stars
This is series is getting shadier and shadier and I’m so enjoying it!
Even though each book features a different couple, they should be read in order, otherwise you’d miss a huge background.
Since Canvas there is a war that has been taking place. Firstly, it was mostly silent. A threat, an uncertainty, but as the plot went on, things started scaleted quickly and we don’t know anymore who is at what side anymore.
When I thought I was understading the story, so many things happened and now I have no idea what is going on. I think I have more questions that I had before.
This time, we learned more about Gringo and Sasha. And there was a lot to know about both of them. They both brought a huge baggage with them for so many different reasons.
Sasha was somehow surprising, but at the same time, not exactly. Since Canvas, she is being portraited as a rich, spoiled, brat wife who likes to play with men that are not her husband. But since then, there was something about her that called to me.
There were moments when she was unguarded and nice, actually, even with Summer. And in this book, getting a closer look at her, we could see that she is way deeper than she seems and in actuality she is a great person living in hell, and her only salvation (both literally and figuratively) is Gringo/Gabriel.
But, oh boy, Gringo has his own fair share of demons to exorcise. Amongst the four of the guys, I think he is the one with the biggest baggage. And he shows that unrepentantly. He is tortured indeed. Sasha is the only light in his life, one he doesn’t believe he deserves.
This book was so hot, like burning hot. It had suspense, mistery, action, shadiness, fear, hope, grief, love and, oh my, sexy times.
I’m still wrapping my head around everything that is going on and I admit I’m a little wary about how things will work out. I can’t wait to dive into the next book.
Wow! I don’t want to stop to write this review N.M. Catalano because you just left me hanging … wanting … needing the rest of Gringo and Sasha’s story. This book is so good and full of suspense and steam! The whole series has been great. Go. Read. It.
Gringo wants what he can’t have. Sasha wants out of her arranged marriage to an awful man who could care less. The men of the Program are trying their best to keep all they love safe and get to the bottom of who exactly is the threat. I love Gringo and his fierceness. I am warming to Sasha with all she has dealt with.
One man who does not exist in any records or on paper may be the key to it all.
The story is gritty and dirty in more ways than one. The cliff hanger is a killer! I think I know who the true bad guy is but cannot figure out the end game. This is getting hot and heavy in all facets!
Bring on Bull and his Vengence!
Rock, Snake, Bull and Gringo are still working to find who is behind the land deal. Gringo’s past is revealed and he realizes Sasha is his future just in time for her to be stolen away. Book 4 promises to resolve all the unanswered questions.
All I can say is wow! Gringo and Sasha will grab a hold of you and make you listen to their story. And what a story it is – intrigue, heat, caring, more heat! And the cliff hanger – really?!?! Thank you N.M. For one hell of a ride!
I just loved reading this book! Each of these amazing guys has their own messed up past and demons to deal with. I actually felt bad for Sasha in this one and I loved Mrs. Merriweather!! She is hilarious. After that ending I hope Mrs. Catalano is writing the next book quickly!!! Loved it!
I am in awww… what an amazing story! N.M. really outdid herself on this one. I have loved getting to know these characters. I think I have fell in love with each and every one of these guys. Each one has so many characteristics to keep you hungry for more! And those sex scenes! Wow! I have no words for those. Just make sure your at home or in a private area before reading those parts.
This book really had me on a rollercoaster ride. There were so many emotions. I was even ready to throw my kindle a few times. Tortured had my attention from page one until the very end…speaking of end.. that ending! What a way to keep someone wanting more! I for one, cannot wait to read Bull and Gwendolyn’s story. BTW, this book is the third book in The Program Series and is not a stand alone. You have to one click books one and two. You most definitely won’t be disappointed.
Gabriel “Gringo” and Sasha are a volatile, explosive couple. They both have tortured pasts and reasons for doing things. I feel so emotionally wrung out after reading this book. A warning this book does end on a cliffhanger. I will definitely be looking forward to the next book.
I received an arc and am voluntarily leaving my review.
Can one senseless act of violence irrevocably alter one’s soul?
Are you bad…damaged beyond redemption?
Are you destined to be chased by the demons for the rest of your days?
Tortured by the darkness until only slivers of light remain and even then, are you undeserving?
This is Gringo’s story.
The Program and the missions are his life.
Rock, Snake and Bull are his brothers, his family, their bond is unbreakable.
But things are different now, this mission…it’s personal. His brothers are finding love and light.
And then, there’s Sasha. He sees her…he feels her light, but that is not his life…at least it wasn’t until someone made the mistake of trying to extinguish the only light he’s felt in a very long time.
If you’re not reading The Program series I highly recommend you get started.
Tortured is book 3, the series must be read in order because the author is leading us to an epic climax. The ending is a nosedive off a cliff, going 60mph around a curve, and will leave you with a huge book hangover…you’ve been warned.
This Story is absolutely amazing book and so sad to see that it is the ending of the series. These books will take you on a hot and steamy ride that will blow you away. This book is so intense that it was very had to put down. This is a must read book that will have you feeling the words of emotions. This book will have you steaming hot when you are done.
5+ amazing stars! Tread cautiously, as you’re about to enter Gringo’s world. Here is a man haunted and tortured by his bleak past and living a bare-knuckled existence with little regard for anyone else’s needs. He does his job with The Program and does it well, a stone-cold, efficient mercenary. He cares for little else beyond his job. That is, except for Sasha, who awakens the beast in him and makes him unleash his unholy passions on her, with her, and in her. TORTURED will have your heart thrown into high gear with its powerfully raw pain, its gritty action, and the off-the-charts magnetic attraction between Gringo and Sasha.
You’ll love them, hate them and scream at them throughout the book. You’ll cringe with them as they endure and feed each other’s agony, yet cheer for them as they find solace and perhaps redemption in each other’s arms. Their story isn’t over, and I’m waiting for more with baited breath! I loved it!
