Reasons for Revenge #3
Captured By The Billionaire
Revenge is sweeter in paradise.
Billionaire Gabriel Vaughn had all but forgotten the past...until Debbie Harris arrived at his luxury resort. She'd walked away from him once, but now he wasn't letting her leave his island without exacting his own brand of revenge— the ultimate seduction.
Debbie realized Gabriel would only release her if she revealed the true reasons she'd left him years ago. But could she resist their heated attraction long enough to learn if Gabriel had a deeper motive for making her the billionaire's captive?

But seduced and abandoned the only woman you ever have loved it not as easy as it seemed and Gabe found out in love with Debbie again.

Ms Maureen I have read some of your books and I must say they are amazing. What the hell happened with this one. What the hell kind if stupid Heroine is this. The only thing giving this a one star is its brevity. This was not it

I hated it. This book had so many things that I hated, FMC broke MMC's heart 10 years before for no good reason, he seduces her out of revenge all while being (almost) engaged to another woman. When confronted about his almost fiancee he says it's none of FMC's business and says they haven't slept together in months, he's not engaged yet and then proceeds to seduce her in his office while the other woman is up in his suite waiting to see him.
I didn't like the FMC at all, she was in love with him but broke up with him because they were young and she wanted security. It makes no sense at all to me, you can get married young and (as long as they didn't immediately have kids) still have accomplished everything they wanted to. With how good of a guy he was and how in love they both were, her breaking up with him all because of him proposing makes zero sense.
I also didn't like the MMC, I understand him wanting revenge but the whole almost fiancee thing was despicable. He wasn't in love with the other woman but he was in relationship with her, it wasn't a purely business arrangement they had slept together and were about to be engaged.
I was very over both of them when they had sex in his office, that FMC would sleep with him knowing he planned to marry another woman and that the other woman was waiting for him in his suite. He was so gross, he saw absolutely nothing wrong with what he did because he didn't technically propose yet. He didn't feel any guilt that he hurt FMC and was extremely cold throughout that entire conversation.
MMC was a massive jerk with just about all his actions and everything he said. FMC constantly thought about him through the lense of who she knew 10 years before. Np.

It's actually a 3 and a half rating but since GR doesn't have semistars, four will do. It is kind of strange to find that there are so many books involving millionaires and love and stuff and I find it a bit disturbing.
