Publisher's Summary

Contains books one, two, and three of the Deliver series.

Deliver, book 1 

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 training that determines their purchase price. As long as she delivers, the arrangement that protects her family will hold. 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 self-made prison cell. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe. He belongs in a prison cell. Capturing her is the easy part. Her f--ked-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 17 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.

5 Stars Delivered

I must admit I have already read every single book in this series - some of them a couple of times. I know how intense, riveting and thrilling each and everyone of these three books are. So to get them bundled like this for only $.99 is more than a bargain it is a steal! This entire series is awesome! Pam Godwin's writing is incomparable and she delivers dark deliciousness in this 3 book bundle from beginning to end. Every scene and chapter is delivered with intentionality and not a word is superfluous. The first story of the series sets the tone for the rest of them but they each feature a different couple that get a guaranteed HEA. Even though they get their HEA it is a hard won and dangerous road to it for most of them. Nothing comes easily for them as they all carry emotional wounds from their past that have not healed.

VANQUISH: My favorite book of the series is book 2 Vanquish. It features the "villain" of the first book Deliver. It is hard to wrap your mind around rooting for such a man as Vanquiso. He is the perpetrator of such heinous crimes in the first book you can't imagine any kind of redemption for him. And yet... there is a certain dark attraction that you can't help but have for him - fatal attraction or sympathy for the devil? It is hard to define but you just know that he has been hurt and wounded in his past. There has to be a reason for him being such a "monster" who was involved in the selling of humans. Vanquish fills those cracks in Vanquiso's origin story and leaves you emotionally spent.

With a past like Vanquiso's it is no wonder that we find him attracted to another person with a painful past. A woman so broken and damaged that she can't even leave her home = Amber. This unfortunate scenario allows Vanquiso to invade not only her home but her heart and soul. There's is not an easy "courtship" - if we are redefining the word courtship as an euphemism for triage in the middle of war zone. As is his nature, Vanquiso does nothing gently when he wants something and he wants Amber. He manipulates her, abuses her sexually and emotionally and takes and takes and takes everything she has to give and everything she doesn't. We learn about her wounds, the scars that never healed and the pain that still lingers in her. He brings it all out and deconstructs her body, mind heart and soul. And yet... he also begins the process of healing and putting her scarred pieces back together again. Vanquiso and Amber's relationship is far from conventional. So disturbing at times it is hard to read but it is also a beautiful wreckage to behold .

The narration of all of these books is top notch! Teddy Hamiltion, Christian F'ox and the other narrators make you feel every painful and passion filled second of these books. They were the perfect voices to tell these stories of tragedy, villainy and redemption.

Vanquish and all of the books of the Deliver series have plenty of triggers, so don't enter lightly (noncon, sexual assault, sex trafficking, physical abuse) But if you are a fan of dark romance, that delivers antiheroes and villains that do questionable, objectional and downright wicked things and yet somehow find a bit of redemption in the power of love, then you will love Vanquish and the entire series as much as I do.

Dont Miss This Amazing Listen

Deliver

I read a lot of dark books. In fact they are probably one of my favorite types of books that I like the read. I kind of like to push my boundaries and see where the author takes me. However when I started Deliver I was so mad. I hated Liv with a passion. I have yet to this day to figure out if it was just my mood or if I was upset she took this sweet caring for his family, has more on his shoulders than he should carry boy from his family. And I have yet to figure out why in the world I reacted that way. That said it took me a bit to get into this book. However once I did I really liked Liv better but absolutely adored Josh. They certainly never met and said hey I want to know this person better and there are reasons for why Liv takes people and then delivers them. You just have to read this book to find out what and why because I hate spoilers. I devoured this book once I finally got over whatever was wrong with me. If you like your books dark and that keep you guessing then you do not want to miss Deliver. This is a great start to a series I can not wait to continue.

Vanquish

We first met Van in Deliver. He was Liv's for lack of a better word, partner in crime. They also have a child together and now that Liv has moved on Van needs to do the same. But, he has to keep tabs on his daughter. From the porch of a house that he thinks is abandoned, he spies on Liv. Secretly he still wants her back, but he also wants to be a dad to his daughter and hates the fact in a way that Live now has a relationship with her. Imagine his surprise when a woman, one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen steps out on the porch like a maniac and flees basically to her mail box but doesn't make it back to the house without having the worlds biggest panic attack and starting the obsession Van will seem to have for Amber. He is going to fix her. Really though I was so hoping that they fixed each other. I know Van was the super bad guy in Deliver but in Vanquish we get to see a whole other side of him. A side that has always lived in him but he has obviously forgotten about. Poor Amber will break your heart with her terror of stepping outside to her OCD and other things that she does simply to survive a day. I say survive because she is by no means living life at all. A man destroyed her and it is going to take a stronger one to help her. Van is the man for that job. This book simply put is amazing. Once again Pam Godwin has blown me away.

Disclaim

Disclaim is absolutely amazing!! This is Pam Godwin at her finest. Dark books have quickly become some of my favorite books and Pam Godwin is at the top of my list of authors who write them. In Disclaim we meet Camilla who I liked right from the get go. She's a strong, independent, woman who is on a mission and will let nothing stop her. As strong as she is, she is also searching for something that is missing in her life and never quite able to find it. Matias is just straight up alpha greatness. He's dark and dangerous but has a soft spot in his heart for Camilla. They've known each other since they we're kids and it was great to get glimpses of a younger Matias and Camila. So many secrets are kept but all will be revealed. It's so worth the journey with these two amazing characters to learn their secrets and desires.

Disclaim is more than a book. It's a journey. An experience. I'm so glad I got to read and review this book. I can't wait to see where Pam Godwin takes us next

Complete Package

Having read over 50 audiobooks I have never been compelled to write a review until this book. Everything about it hit all the exact right spots for me. The intrigue the suspense the seduction the intimacy the plot and character connections all of these things were there in just the right amount. I would highly recommend this book to those seeking erotic literature and not looking for just nasty words.

Really great

The narrators were excellent. The author had a great method of connecting the characters. It's one of the best dark romances I've heard. kudos

dark, gritty, and unputdownable

Deliver-

At first I wasn't even sure I could read it. Deliver has some seriously dark situations that may cause even those that think they are hardened to get nauseous or nervous. But my desire to know exactly what happens pulled me deeper into a world I fear.

Deliver has a seriously impressive meaning that filters through the entire story. A thread that ties it all together. It's intense and may make you question your own mental state. It is quite possibly a huge twist of fate that I stumbled on this book but I intend to devour all the others in the series.

I can't even say I "enjoyed" it because it's completely the wrong word to describe this book but the only one simple enough to convey the point. Deliver will leave you with a mixed bag of emotions and more questions.

If you are like me, your mind will be spinning. Your heart will be a confused version of happy. But you will need everything mapped out and hopefully Vanquish will help with that.


Vanquish-

If you never thought you could feel anything other than loathing or pity for Van Quiso, you obviously haven't read Vanquish yet. I will admit Deliver gave me a picture of all I needed to know about this deeply f*cked up individual. Or so I thought...The only pity I felt towards Van was when he was shot trying to make amends in Deliver. But Vanquish, oh boy, Vanquish will have you run the entire gamut of emotions.

Vanquish will have you hating, despising, confused, and even dare I say it...liking. You might even stray as far as admiring, appreciating, or gasp...falling for Van.

It might be Stockholm Syndrome or it might even be genuine affection- the only way you will know is picking it up and reading the world through the devil's eyes.

Vanquish is a great story and a wild ride but you MUST have read Deliver to even understand an inkling of what is going on. It is not a stand alone. It is however a stand out. Of all the books you read this year, I guarantee you will have a hard time forgetting it. If you are like me you will crave the rest in the series too.


Disclaim-

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!

Clearly this isn't your first Pam Godwin book because you needed to read Deliver and Vanquish first but it will feel like you have no idea what is going on. You will be on edge, confused, and this side of angry. Disclaim your emotions because your allegiance will be tested and hold onto your morals because otherwise you will be adrift.

Just wow! There is so much going on in this book that your head will be spinning. You won't know which way is up, who to trust, or whether or not you will be happy in the end. It's so well written. You have no idea....

Just wow! This crazy train left the station and here I am hours later with one bathroom break, typing this at 3:36 AM. There is no way you will be able to put this book down. It is everything you expect from Ms. Godwin and somehow still incredibly surprising.

4.5 Dark and Twisted Stars!

Deliver: What did I just read! Amazing! Through depravity you find freedom. My mind is blown. Not what I expected but so much more. If you enjoy dark, and this one is definitely dark, one click. I devoured this in a day and can’t wait to start Vanquish. No cliffhanger. I highly recommend this audiobook. Abby Craden and Teddy Hamilton’s narration is great!

Vanquish: After finishing Deliver I couldn’t wait for Van’s story. A great read, but definitely dark and deals with sensitive subject matters. This story gives more background as to why Van is the way he is and how he evolves and redeems himself through his journey with Amber. A must read in this series. Jo Raylan and Ryan West’s narration was good.

Disclaim: What did I just read?!? A second chance that blows your mind!!! Absolutely my favorite in this series!!! Dark, angsty with twists and turns. Do you trust your history or what you think you know now. Grabs you from the start and you won’t be able to put it down. A must read in this deliciously dark series. Wow! Christian Fox and Emma Wilder’s narration fantastic!

Now, this is what I call "DARK"!

"Deliver Us: Deliver, Vanquish, Disclaim," a boxset including the first three books in Pam Godwin's deliciously dark and twisted Deliver Series, is NOT for the faint of heart. The first book of the series deals explicitly with kidnapping, brutal rape, sexual abuse, and sex trafficking, and it sets the scene for the remainder of the series. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple with ties to the sex trafficking operation in "Deliver." Most of the characters are profoundly broken people who have survived circumstances that should only occur in nightmares, and many of them have done some unbelievably despicable things, but each couple does eventually get the HEA they deserve.

"Deliver Us" is expertly narrated by a cast of top-notch voice actors, including Abby Craden, Teddy Hamilton, Jo Raylan, Ryan West, Emma Wilder, and Christian Fox.

After a recent disappointment in a book by another author that was advertised as being "dark" but did not meet my criteria for a dark read, and in anticipation of the upcoming release of "Into Temptation: Unshackle, Dominate, Complicate," the third boxset in the Deliver series, I pulled this series up for a relisten to satisfy my desire for something truly dark and disturbing. And, I must say, I was not disappointed. It was even better the second time around.

There are no cliffhangers, but each book does give a brief peek into the next couple's story. Even though you can read each book as a standalone, you won't want to miss a single installment.

I AM ADDICTED

I am so hooked on this author now I dont think I could BE any more obsessed. These 3 books were so so good I am going to buy the next ones RIGHT NOW

The dark side of love and reality

If you can make it through the darkness eventually you will find the light. Suspense and romantic love that can only be found on the dark side.

Fantastic!!

The books are amazing and the way each narrator told the story was great. I was glued to my device listening to every word. The narrators were all phenomenal!! This is one you need to listen to!!

Brilliant!

Deliver Us is the first three books in The Deliver Series packaged together in a box set. In Deliver book #1 we meet Josh and Liv who set the storyline for this brilliant series. In Vanquish book #2 we get Van and Amber’s story, and in Disclaim book #3, it’s Matias and Camila’s turn.
If you like dark romances then this book is definitely for you. You’ll be hooked by the thrilling twists and turns, not to mention the damaged characters; but the sexual, physical, and mental abuse is heartbreaking at times and may not be for the faint hearted.
This brilliant darker than dark series is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and love, whilst fighting evil captors, slave traders and warlords.
I’ve read all of this amazing series so far and can’t wait to read the last three books that are coming soon! I have this series on audiobook too and the narrators are fantastic. I highly recommend any and all versions.

Absolutely fantastic

Deliver
5 stars
Oh my, this book is brutal. There’s definitely no holds barred here. This is my first book by this author and I’m looking forward to the next! Great performance.

Vanquish
5 stars
This book is brilliant. It really gets you thinking about different perspectives. Pam has written an absolutely fantastic storyline here, as well as incorporating the strong characters that she has built over the last book. I can’t get enough of these characters and the unique situation they find themselves in. A fantastic performance from both narrators.

Disclaim
5 stars
Oh, I didn’t see that massive twist coming! This series is brilliant. I’m absolutely hooked. These characters are so complex and likeable. These books are not for the faint of heart. They are raw, brutal and harsh. Pam has written them so well.
