Complicate

5/5 STARS "𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆." I was intrigued to read Cole's story after reading the teaser chapters in Dominate. Cole and Lydia have added themselves to the list of my favorite book couples. The tension there was between them at the beginning dug deep in their dynamic as characters. They knew how to play with each other. How to manipulative the other's motives, Cole more so than Lydia. The story is fast-paced with a few time-jumps in the second half. I loved Cole's strong-will, like that was something new for me as a reader. There were a few scenes in the last half of the story that made want me to cry. I had tears in my eyes, especially the scenes after Ireland. I'm sad to see this series go but I'm happy that Cole and Lydia's story was the completion.

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 definitely worth your time to read. Another home run from Pam Godwin and I loved every single syllable in this book. The more you read the more you could not stop. At"Dublin, Ireland"(Three weeks later) I knew at this point it was a "fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride" moment that keeps me clinging to the plot for an exciting climax. Hated for it to end, but loved the ending. Pam did save the best for last. A tight story with well-defined and fleshed-out characters. What a way to end the series! Highly recommended!

Cole was……. Cole’s story touched……. Cole felt…… well, it was just everything! I am so sad this series is done because it is one of the most intriguing, dark, violent, emotional, brutal, engaging, and intensive series you will ever come across, now, in the past, or in the future. Cole gives us the grand finale, and he wasn’t even there for the beginning, but he made his way into this group, and by doing so, found his home. The same can be said for when he finds his woman, his new, his forever HEA. See, Cole broke a heart, shattered it, before, and then in return, had his own heart removed to give that other heart a chance to beat and glow again. We got to see that, and the man that it set loose is where we meet up with Cole again. This time though, this time, he has met his match, and our deeply emotional, wonderfully cynical, and obsessively protective man doesn’t even think, he reacts. He reacts because he knows, deep down at first, but he accepts it eventually, this is the ying to his yang. As strong as him, as independent as him, as determined as him, and able to meet him emotion for emotion, blow for blow, obsession for obsession. And when that peace and acceptance settles onto Cole, you feel it in your own soul. When Cole get’s back everything that has been in limbo, on hold, stashed away, for years, you smile and feel the joy that he got a new and better life back. When Cole, in the epilogue, is doing what he wants, with his people all around him, you give an evil Van grin because you know it is so right, and just, and perfect, and exactly where he should be <3
