3 Stars...For Now
I have read all of the Deliver series (some more than once...looking at you Van Quiso) and the entirety of the Tangled Lies trilogy (thrice over)...both series which come to a head in this book. Cole's book.
To say I was looking forward to this?
Therefore, it PAINS me to not have absolutely loved this thing.
Did I enjoy it? Yes.

Complicate is the final book in Pam Godwin's 'Deliver' series, and honestly, it's the one I wanted the most. And it's all because of Cole Hartman. We first met Cole in Godwin's 'Tangled Lies' series and he's been my favorite of all her heroes ever since. I couldn't wait to read his story and learn more about him.

Cole Hartman had become a lone wolf over the years. He reported to no one and operated outside the boundaries of the law. He was a strong, resilient, disciplined, detached, unbreakable, unstoppable force. Years of training and sacrifice had given him an inhuman degree of self restraint but some things were beyond your control. One of those things was love. When he's left with a broken heart, he doesn't put himself out there for seven years. He hasn't encounter ...more

So raw and gritty, this was yet another dark and delicious tale in the Deliver series. As I turned each page, I was once again awed by the talent of this author.

So sinfully and deliciously penned, this story satisfied me in all the ways. I laughed, I cried, I sizzled, I tingled. It rocked my fucking socks off.

Cole Hartman had lived a dangerous life, he was on his own for so many years but he managed to always show up when he was needed by the Freedom Fighters. We get to see Cole on full action without anyone taking over his spot to shine and it was so good.

Amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced and exciting entry to the series. Complicate is the kind of story where you don't want to put it down until you finish it, but really don't want it to end. The suspense is non-stop. The steamy scenes are raw, dirty, and very titillating. Read until my eyes hurt as I was anxious to find out more about Cole and Lydia's story. I will not go into the storylines, as I don't want to spoil your fun in reading the book for yourself. But it is ...more

I started the first book in the series Deliver in March 2019 as part of a goodreads buddy read. I was slowly getting into darker romance books. Deliver was definitely one of the darkest I had read. I hated Van after reading it and didn’t know how I was going to continue with the series as his book was next!

“Something was missing. Something significant. Troubling. Dread was eating him alive.”
[FYI: This last book feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. I still remember release of the first book DELIVER #1 in 2014. It turned me into an instant fan of Pam Godwin for life. She parlayed that book into a remarkable 9-book standalone series that has beguiled readers with a unique brand of dark, edgy romance and torrid couples ever since.

This was the absolute perfect ending to not only an amazing series but the most beloved, broken-hearted character Pam has written! This series may be over but it'll never die. The Freedom Fighters will continue to conquer evil, test fate, and indulge in their own sexy kinks forever (or at least in my head).
