Trails of Sin: BOOTED by the amazing Pam Godwin

Hi, book buddies :-) I'm loving this new hobby of mine where I take pictures of the ebooks I read and review. I'm trying to post them on my Facebook page, but I don't know how far that goes :-D What do you think of my (homy) style? Be nice!

And today I bring you a cowboy read. Careful, it's dark and gritty.

BOOTED, by PAM GODWIN 


MY OPINION

Another impressive, gutting story from this author’s intense imagination. Cowboy strength at its finest, vibrant storytelling and more heated, unresolved chemistry than in a laboratory on fire.

I was anticipating Lorne’s story with a hammering heart. He’s been in prison for eight long, frustrating years, and his wolfish, traumatized, hardened spirit shows the consequences of that injustice. On the other hand, Raina is another magnificent female character. Wise, in tune with nature and self-aware in an unusual way. I didn’t understand why she had spent so long willingly submitted to a feral man, but then her reasons unfolded and they were devastating.

What a pair! Pure fire and brimstone. Both wounded, raw, yet resilient and looking for hope somewhere.

This is a dark romance. So much pain in everyone’s past. Lorne is quite harsh with Raina, their interactions verbally hurtful and emotionally draining. It’s the undercurrent of denied softer feelings that makes it all so powerful. I was so eager for them to make a connection and unsharpen the uglier parts of their shields.

Breathtaking passion, untold hurt, a path to revenge and maybe freedom. A cathartic tale of overcoming terrible things and the bravery to let ourselves be happy and loved for the first time. 

It’s also the third book in a series about four people tangled in a knot of love and betrayal. It’s a powerful finale that rewards these amazing characters with a hard-earned future together. I loved the dark notes and the brightness.

It's LIVE!


BOOTED, Book #3 in the TRAILS OF SIN series

Genre: Dark Cowboy Romance Series: HEAs with no cliffhangers. Each book is a different couple. Must be read in order.



The night I’m released from prison, she’s in my bed. It’s been eight years since I touched a woman, and the Native American beauty is half-dressed, beaten, bruised, and devastatingly exquisite.
We’re toxic together, but we want the same things. Blood. Vengeance. Violent relief in a warm body.
Beneath her touch, I’m alive. Against her skin, I’m redeemed. Buried inside her, I forget the past. Until the past takes her from me.
Prison made me cold, but losing Raina makes me cruel. Ruthless. Unforgiving. I killed before. For her, I’ll kill again. I’ll end this once and for all or die in my boots.

When a man is Buckled to love

 Book buddies, guess what. From time to time, I delve into dark romance, and this cowboy series by Pam Godwin is heating all the right spots ;-)

Ready to ride?

It's LIVE! -> BUCKLED 


Book #2 in the TRAILS OF SIN series

Genre: Dark Cowboy Romance Series: HEAs with no cliffhangers. 
Each book is a different couple. Must be read in order.

I protect what’s mine. The ranch, my family, our buried secrets.
Nothing will stop me from reassembling the life that went terribly wrong. Not the law. Not our enemies. Not even Maybe Quinn.
The gorgeous, quarrelsome journalist shouldn’t have meddled. I shouldn’t have let her stay. But she’s hiding something in those deceptive blue eyes. Something deeper than her thirst for a news story.
I make a deal with her to buy time. To unravel her lies. To play with her. To satisfy my darker appetites. When she buckles beneath my belt, I’ll send her away.
Unless I buckle first.


MY OPINION

Provoking, brave and mind-blowing.

Never a cowboy felt more feral and honourable at the same time. Trails of Sin is an A-grade series that I never saw coming. Buckled features impressive plotting and writing style, gripping characters, and a love story that’s both scandalous and romantic.

I loved it so much. Even more than the previous book which was truly absorbing albeit dark. Garret and Maybe make an astounding couple that grows from taunting eroticism to heroic sacrifice and commitment. The novel rehashes the harrowing events that relate to Conor and Jake’s epic romance, this time from Jarret’s perspective. Soon, this man shows his true colours, a contradiction of animalistic passions, relentless loyalty and a craving for a bond to a woman that fulfills his soul. That cocktail was so seductive!

Despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding the appearance of a meddling, curious woman at his family ranch, he plunges both into a challenge of trust, desire and dangerous secrets that keeps dancing between forever and destruction.

I was desperately hooked, honestly. The life at the cattle ranch, the distrust between Garret and Maybe because of all the secrets they keep, the electrifying chemistry, the very hot and naughty games they play, the enchanting differences in their ways of life that in fact bond them irreparably, her stubbornness and his faith in their union. And this time all, all the mystery relies on her as now e know what happened to Conor and the brothers in book 1. That mystery leads to a quarter of a novel drenched in plot twists, heart-break and immeasurable resilience of the feelings that bind this couple. So amazing!

Even the seed to the next book is planted and looks phenomenal. What an imagination. This series is priceless.

Favourite Quotes: 
She's a dream I ache to remain awake for.
It's a tragedy to feel this much for another person.
I live in the confines of my own destruction.

I'm Knotted with emotions

Hi, book budies :-) I'm back with a new dark romance series by Pam Godwin. She's a great author whose books I've already tasted and, though cowboys are not my cup of tea, I always go back to the writers I love.


KNOTTED 


Book #1 in the TRAILS OF SIN series

Genre: Dark Cowboy Romance 
Series: HEAs with no cliffhangers. 
Each book is a different couple. 
Must be read in order.


I try to forget her. It’s impossible.
Growing up together, Conor and I shared all our firsts. First love, first kiss, first… Not all our firsts.
We were sixteen the night she was violently assaulted while I helplessly watched. I’ll never forget the sounds of her suffering. Or my inconsolable agony when she left Oklahoma.
Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact. Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets. She doesn’t know my dark cravings or the trails of sin that lead to her.
I don’t deserve her, but one truth remains. She’s mine.


MY OPINION


Darkness can be beautiful. This author proves it with her gorgeous writing and her strong grip on emotional turmoil. From the elation of first true love to the ashes of its unfair destruction, it all felt real, deep, and pulled at my heart every wrenching step of the way.

I've never been a fan of cowboys, but whenever I come across a good premise I just dive in. And this is it. I was even afraid of reading the part of the agression to Conor, the sweet female character who is in love with Jake since they were kids at the ranch. Their happiness is cut short and with a blade when fate sets tragedy against them. It was hard to read, I admit it, but I pushed on into a tale of resilience, pain, failure, guilt, revenge and dark, dark love that pierces darker times.

When I thought I knew what was happening, the betrayal and the torn love took a sharp twist that first gutted me, then lit me up like a firework. Wow!

A little bit before the 40% mark, though, it takes another turn that disoriented me. Conor (that name kept putting a guy's face in my mind) just moved on. It's great for real life, but not in a romance. To me it creates a gap between the couple that rarely mends. 

Spoiler Alert!


(If the girl is so devoted to her studies and has suffered abuse, why on earth would she go and live with a man? Did she really have the time for it, let alone the need after so much heartbreak and physical pain?).

End of spoiler.


The author dodged two bullets with magnificent plot devices that later on are developed wonderfully, but those things ruined the effect a little bit. So even though the words are beautiful and the story is impressive, I ceased to feel connected to their romance as they stray towards other people. 

Anyway, the second half of the story is alive with unorthodox healing, dramatic redemption and scorching-hot, cathartic lovemaking. With the same relentless determination that Jake applies to heal Conor's traume, the story redeems itself. A tour-de-force of sacrifice, crime, the price of freedom, and above all a superb couple that forgives and rediscovers love through sin, courage and incendiary sensuality.

Two other men shine in this tale, Lorne and Barret, and I'd be lying if I denied my curiosity about them. They're next in line for a story, you know ;-)

This trilogy ends with a war


Oh, my wounded heart. This ending, this book! It's amazing...

*



The conclusion of the Tangled Lies series is now available!

Three is a War (Book 3)



Three means war. Three sides vying for forever.
Cole. My first love. The bad boy with the dangerous smile and passionate temper draws attention like a lit fuse on dynamite. But his dark molten eyes spark only for me.
Trace. My second chance. Over six feet of Norse god in a tailored suit, he calculates every move and seizes my hungry breaths with an iron fist.
Me. The free-spirited dancer, torn between two men with no resolution in sight. I tried leaving, staying, refusing, and surrendering. What options do I have left?
I love two men, and I do the only thing I can. I fight.

MY OPINION

A great battle of the hearts, no doubt. What an amazing trilogy. This ending is WOW.

I wasn't expecting the way the cliffhanger from book 2 would develop. It's intense, it's darkly seductive, and oh so se-xy. Danni, Cole and Trace face an impossible choice while submitted to a pact bent with tension and torn love.

Feverish passion and immense pain mix in the most realistic challenge to three hearts I've ever read. The simmering heat gradually grows into an inferno of dangerous desires because these two men don't want to share, but this woman is something they cannot give up. Secrets come up, truces are struck.

The author breaks the characters so many times, while drowning them in heightened emotions and deep love and arresting lust. I couldn't imagine how she would possibly mend all the pieces back together. It's a magnificent depiction of three hearts at war with each other and themselves.  Two men and a woman fight to reconcile their feelings in circumstances that I didn't see coming when I finished the second book. They are all in love but she cannot decide whom to choose. 

I loved every bit of it, the pain, the beauty, but I admit the outcome was truly sad and disheartening for me. It's masterfully portrayed and understandable, but it pains me.  For me, it was all or nothing, but I suppose this is not a fantasy but a real-life mirror. However, that finale was irresistibly empowering, beautiful and fated thanks to the inspiring writing of the author. She really is a master of emotions and words. Even thought this war of three hearts didn't end as I wanted and had infinite heartbreak, it still is a poignant, mature, sensual work of art.



One is a Promise (Book 1)



One promise. One forever.
One look and I knew Cole was mine. My dark rebel in leather. My powerhouse of passion, devastating smiles, and impulsiveness. When his job sends him overseas, he promises to return to me. A promise that’s destroyed in the most irrevocable way.
Two years later, an arrogant suit invades my heartbroken loneliness.
Clean-cut and stern, Trace is everything Cole wasn’t. At first, he’s a job that will rescue my dance company. But as he intrudes on my life, our hostile relationship evolves. He knows I’m still in love with Cole, but his dedication is my undoing.
Then a catastrophic moment changes everything.
Promises resurface. Lies entangle. And an impossible choice shatters my world.
I love two men, and I can only have one.

Two is a Lie (Book 2)



Two lies. Two men who don’t share.
I never stopped loving Cole. Not when he left me. Not when he disappeared for three years. Not when he crashed back into my life in a violent explosion of testosterone and fury. His sudden reappearance questions everything I thought I knew, including how I came to love another man.
Trace is an intoxicating breeze of seduction over ice. My rock. My second chance at forever. And he’s committed to annihilating the competition.
The battle that ensues wrenches me back and forth between them. Fighting and fucking. Resisting and submitting.
Together, they entangle me in a web of lies, rivalry, and desire that weaves as deeply as their devotion to me.
I love two men, and if I can only have one, I choose none.

Two is a Lie is an impressive story by Pam Godwin

Yay!

The conclusion is coming soon!


MY OPINION

Impressive. Again. I can't imagine how hard or easily it all comes to the author, but reading it is pure pleasure. All emotion, all real, heartfelt and vibrant.

The shocking, seemingly impossible cliffhanger at the end of book 1 is the place where this second part takes off. And it doesn't skim over its implications and diffuse its raw power. No, the author dives into all the consequences and explores them to the bleeding core.

A woman torn between two men she loves with all her heart. That's a crossroads full of booby traps,, and the beautiful writing brings all the nuances and longing to life.

A tug-of-war with her emotions and her libido creates all these scenes of love, seduction, infinite doubts and crumpling guilt. To me, it was impossible to choose. Both men are depicted with so much detail and real traits that they feel made of flesh and blood instead of ink and dreams. Sometimes I felt as if one was favoured over the other, but then it was the other way around. I was as torn as Danni over this fateful choice.

However, dark secrets start to sprout and the romance becomes suspenseful and gritty. Not only is it remarkably emotional and keenly sensual, but it takes a turn that elevates what's at stake to unexpected heights. Loved all of it, and the cliffhanger is so, so good it hurts :-D

One is a Promise: Pam Godwin is my new goddess

That's right, book buddies, Pam Godwin has conquered my soul with this story.


One is a Promise


One promise. One forever.
One look and I knew Cole was mine. My dark rebel in leather. My powerhouse of passion, devastating smiles, and impulsiveness. When his job sends him overseas, he promises to return to me. A promise that’s destroyed in the most irrevocable way.
Two years later, an arrogant suit invades my heartbroken loneliness.
Clean-cut and stern, Trace is everything Cole wasn’t. At first, he’s a job that will rescue my dance company. But as he intrudes on my life, our hostile relationship evolves. He knows I’m still in love with Cole, but his dedication is my undoing.
Then a catastrophic moment changes everything.
Promises resurface. Lies entangle. And an impossible choice shatters my world.
I love two men, and I can only have one.

MY OPINION

As soon as I got wind of this thrilling romance, I became obsessed with reading it. What’s not to covert about a woman’s heart divided between two worthy men? I had to know how that played out.

From the start, Danni  is a relatable character. She’s smart, a free spirit and she will stand up to anyone who tries to tease her. She’s also devastated by the loss of Cole, but trying and failing to regain control over her heart. Until an arrogant Norse god blasts into her life. Wow, that first encounter between Danni and Trace Savoy is mesmerizing. The description of his physique and the power his presence exerts over others was really impressive. The whole writing style is elegant, understanding of the precious feelings of bereavement and the sensuality of the senses reawakening.  Of course, it could only be outstaged by Cole and Danni’s bizarre and splendid meeting in the past. I fell in love with both of them and his motorcycle.

Cole’s presence is like a storm, brewing on the horizon with the promise of despair and eternal love. Lost to her, he’s also the knife that slashes the growing, desperate bond between Danni and Trace in half. I loved the provoking dialogues full of wit, twisted humour and gutting emotions. I suffered as this casino-owner hardens his resolve not to give into her temptation because her heart is still in the past. Though his mix of warm gesture of nearness and his cruel disposition to keep her at bay when she’s so needy for love is quite heartless L

What happened in the past is shown in a few chapters interspersed among the present life chapters when Danni meets this emotionally unavailable rich man. The last part is brimming with vicious emotions and angry passion, torn second chances and a plot twist that I had envisioned coming with wicked glee. It’s gloriously soul-wracking. I truly admire the powerful prose. My only complaint is that the last line in this first part of the trilogy feels too abrupt an ending. I’d like it more rounded with some narrative.

Now I’m twisting my hands with impatience to see how the know will get even more tangled in the next book. July cannot come fast enough!

Coming Soon!
