The heart-pounding conclusion of the DELIVER series.

Cole Hartman is a mystery.
He works alone, sleeps alone, and satisfies his aches…alone. He hasn’t touched a woman in seven years.
No one will ever compare to the one who broke his heart.
Until he stares into the seductive eyes of his enemy.

He finally meets his match in the redheaded Russian spy.
But she’s a dangerous risk. His obsession with her leaves him only one choice.

If you love something, let it go.
If it doesn’t kill you, hunt it down and take it.

——

This is Cole Hartman’s story.
But it’s not his beginning.
The saga of Cole, Danni, and Trace starts in the TANGLED LIES trilogy.

You don’t have to read TANGLED LIES, but if you want to read it, do so before reading this book.

Plot Summary :
Lydia and Cole have an amazing tale that pulled at my heartstrings so bad. Cole Hartman has always been lonely since he lost the one girl he had loved to his best friend. Dani was everything to him and now she was gone. So he lived his life in solitude. Things take a sudden turn whren the only family he has ever known is endangered and now it’s his chance to save them all. Even if it means surrendering himself to the very people who paln to torture him for information anf what not.

Lydia is an enigma. Forced to survive in the worst situations , she is not scared to use all the tactics she knows to break Cole. He has the information she wanted and there is no way she is letting him go unharmed. Even if it means hitting him where it hurts the most. The people he loves.

Overall Opinion :
OMG. The finale is finally here! Cole and Lydia have this amazing and explosive taste which surpassed all ym expectations for the finale of this series. We met al;l the characters , and my beloved Cole who deserved his own ending now finally has one!

Lydia and Cole had a very rough start. Lydia was a true spitfire and a ruthless woman, She tried her damn hard to break Cole but didn’t know that the man she was trying to destroy was the only one who could destroy her in return. If only that mattered. Something much bigger was at play here and they both were just mere pawns. And now it was all fair in love and war. Highly recommended to all the Dark romance lovers out there! Beware that this book is full of triggers such as kidnapping , torture and Non con scenes too!
