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 ;-)
