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.

Manipulate is the sixth book in Pam Godwin’s Deliver Series. You need to read the first five books in order to fully understand what is going on in this book and all you can about these character’s and their past. Each book is a complete book with no cliffhangers and happily ever afters. The order is Deliver, Vanquish, Disclaim, Devestate, Take and Manipulate.
Manipulate is everything I expected it to be and so much more. If you have read any of the books in the Deliver Series you know that these books are dark and should be approached with caution if you have any triggers. This is such an amazing series though. I am always so excited when another book gets added to the series. In Deliver you get the story of Ricky and Martin along with Tula. Tula finds herself leaving the United States for the day to go and help her sister who is always in trouble and rumored to have ties to the La Rocha Cartel. After going to her childhood home and unable to find her sister Vera she leave the house before it gets dark as her hometown is one of the most dangerous in Mexico. However things don’t go as planned and she finds herself taken and tortured by the military and then convicted of a crime she never commited and place in one of the most dangerours and brutal prisons in all of Mexico. The Cartel’s run this prison and fight for power and she finds herself in the midst of memeber of the LaRocha Cartel. A riot takes place and Tula saves the life of a sweet older man who turns out to the the leader of the cartel. Hector La Rocha. He takes Tula in and makes her a member of his cartel and offers her the protection she is so desperate for to survive the time she has to be in prison. She has lost everything and everyone and is just trying to survive. However when Ricky and Martin enter the prison determinded to get to Hector no one trust them and Tula is given the job of seducting them and finding out where their loyalities lie. I don’t want to give much of this book away so that is all your getting out of me. I loved these characters so much and devoured this book. I was so sad to see my time with these three over. Will they be able to survive this violent prison? Will the guys be able to convince Tula she is working for the most dangerous women and children selling into slavery man on the planet? Will they all go home together or lose their lives in the prison. This book is smoking hot, will have you one the edge of your seat and at times gasping for breath at the things these characters go through. This book is nothing short of amazing and a great addition to the Deliver Series. I so can not wait to see what Pam Godwin gives us next. This will forever be one of my favorite dark sereis and author.
DELIVER SERIES
Each book is a different couple. No cliffhangers. Must be read in order.
DELIVER (#1) – FREE VANQUISH (#2) DISCLAIM (#3) DEVASTATE (#4) TAKE (#5) MANIPULATE (#6)
DELIVER, Book 1: FREE on all retailers
His name was Joshua Carter. Now it’s whatever she wants it to be. She is a Deliverer. She lures young men and delivers them to be sold. She delivers the strikes that enforce their obedience. She delivers the sexual training that determines their purchase price. As long as she delivers, the arrangement that protects her family will hold. Delivering is all she knows. The one thing she can’t deliver is a captive from slavery. Until him. And her stubborn slave thinks he can deliver her…from herself.
VANQUISH, Book 2
Her life is like a prison cell. A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside. Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe. He belongs in a prison cell. The 6×8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside. But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break. And he just found a sexy new toy. Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next. But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.
DISCLAIM, Book 3
Camila was seventeen when Van Quiso kidnapped her. Ten years after her escape, the shackles refuse to release her. Not while there are still slave traders preying on her city. She will stop at nothing to end them. Even if that means becoming a slave again. Returning to chains is her worst fear—and only option. They won’t know who she is or what she intends to do. She’s prepared for every complication. Except him. The one who decimated her sixteen-year-old heart. Matias is charming, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. He’s also untrustworthy and enshrouded in secrets. After years of no contact, he finds her—on her knees, wrists bound, in the clutches of her enemy. Will he sabotage her mission by needlessly saving her? Or will he keep her in chains and never let her go?
DEVASTATE, Book 4
“What is the price you’re willing to pay?” “Money isn’t an issue.” “I’m not talking about money.” Tate is on the hunt to find his best friend’s sister. Eleven years ago, Lucia Dias was abducted. Presumed dead. He never met her, so why does he care? Some might call his efforts noble, but his motivation is more perverse, bordering on obsession. When he follows a chilling lead to Venezuela’s Kidnap Alley, what he finds is neither a corpse nor a captive. Amid poisonous lies and crippling depravity, the price of love is devastation. And he pays. With his body, his blood, and her life.
TAKE, Book 5
He’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 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.
