Very good book with the action starting from the beginning and not letting up atall. Willa is a kindergarten teacher who tried to stay as far away from her father's political life as she could. When he is murdered she becomes executor of his estate and is also named to finish out her father's term as senator. Then she is visited by Gabe who is a former friend of the family who later became her father's archnemesis in business who tells her that her father's business is in financial trouble. To top it all off someone has been breaking into her home and is apparently trying to kill her.

I really liked both Willa and Gabe. As a teenager Willa had a massive crush on Gabe. Now he has come to her rescue and the attraction is still there. She isn't sure at first if she should trust him, but it doesn't take long for him to win her over. I really loved her strength of will. Besides dealing with all the stuff from her father's death, she is also recovering from being raped by a family friend. I loved the way that she immediately feels safe with him. I also really enjoyed the way that she now takes the opportunity to move out of her father's shadow and become her own person. She also makes the decision to go after what she wants, which is Gabe. Besides the physical attraction, which is intense, she also discovers that she likes him and those feelings only grow. She wants more with him but she doesn't know what to make of his relationship with his ex-wife.

Gabe was great. He was older than Willa and noticed her as a teenager, but was aware enough of the age difference that he worked very hard to to let it show. He was also intimidated by the difference in their circumstances that he would never do anything about it. I loved the way he came to her rescue and that he went into protector mode. He still felt that he was not good enough for her but was drawn to her anyway. I really loved everything he did for her and how it showed how much he cared. He also did a wonderful job of supporting her in her activities and showing her what she was capable of.

The mystery of his ex-wife's kidnapping and the murders goes on. I have some suspicions about the kidnapping and I can't wait to see how it plays out. The mystery of who was attacking Willa and why was well done, though not entirely a surprise. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. ( )

4 STARS
(Vengeance in Texas)book 3

I liked A Billionaire's Redemption. It is a romantic suspense. I stayed up late to finsh reading it. I hated the characters that
were so mean to Willa. Loved Willa & Gabe.

Willa was a kindergarten teacher. Her father was a U.S. Senator who was murdered. Willa is a gentle women who was raped by a family friend. Her father the Senator kept her hidden till the bruises faded and destroyed any evidence, because he was in a close race.
Willa had so many enemies. I don't know how she held up.

Gabe is a billionaire who is an enemy of the Senator but not of Willa. When he sees Willa being pushed around he protected her.
Someone kept breaking into where she was staying. Gabe ex-wife has been kidnapped. He is trying to find her because she does not have any family.

I cared about Willa and wanted to see her safe. She is willing to do anything when her students lives are in danger.

Gabe is goodlooking, smart and earned his money. He came from the wrong side of the tract. The old families with money don't like him but are willing to marry him for money. I really like the charitys he supposed.

Things get really dangerous to Willa. She keeps in the background of her father's relection but now she can dress how she wants to and make her own decisions.

There are still a lot of mysteries to be solved in the Vengeance in Texas series

I was given the ebook to read and asked to give honest review from Netgalley.
