Remy will never learn that Cody will do as she pleases; she will not just sit tight so the man she loves can die. She will follow him to the bayou, but will she be able to pull the trigger when it comes to it? Will she kill someone in order to save herself, the man she loves or one of her friends?I have been waiting for like it seems forever for this book. Ms Austin is an amazing writer and this book totally blew my mind. My heart broke for Cody and I wanted to beat the crap out of Remy, but then my heart swelled when the unbelievable happened. This is the best book in the series with emotions ranging from anger, to sadness, to jealously, and to a love that will never die no matter what.Detective Remy LaBeau has been given a mandatory one-month vacation, and he knows he needs to take advantage of this and go back to New Orleans and claim his revenge. Remy knows that Jared Savard was the one that killed his wife and unborn child and left him to die. Only now, he has the name of the man giving the orders and he intends to find out who Alphonse is and bury him just as he plans to do with Jared. He also needs to see someone and make her mad as hell so he can go finish his revenge and come back to the woman he loves.Cody Lewis has been training with Heath Anderson, Remy's partner, and she is getting pretty good in handling a gun. She knows that Remy was going to see his boss and his fate would be told to him. When she gets to her apartment, Remy is waiting for her. Cody can't believe it's happening again, that he's deciding for them. Only this time, she is not having it. She gives the ultimatum to Remy. That totally took guts because Cody loves Remy.Remy is a man that needs closure to be able to live a life without looking over his shoulder thinking that someone is about to kill him. He is a man in love and will do anything in his power in order for the woman he loves to be safe. He knows how to make Cody melt, just with a touch, with his stare but the one thing she can't resist is his native Cajun language. Believe me I couldn't resist that Cajun native language either, especially when he says "chère".Cody is a stubborn woman that will not be put aside while one certain he-man thinks she can't handle his life. She will prove him wrong and them some. Okay, yes, she was almost killed by a serial killer, then her home was blown up but she is a strong woman. She is a woman that knows what she wants and she will do anything to have it. As for Heath, he is still a mystery that needs to be solved and I totally need to find out.REVENGE is an exceptional romance read with a thrilling adventure that has Remy fighting for justice that was due him. The twists and turns that this read take were amazing, and I had no freaking idea that this certain person was the cause for Remy's turmoil. Ms Austin's writing style is beautiful; it's clear and captivated my attention from the beginning to the very end.The new characters that made an appearance were well-developed. I do have to say that Jared is a very evil man that gave me the willies. The scenes where the good and evil were playing with Remy gave me chills. I loved how I was able to just lose myself in the story and in the descriptions of New Orleans. I was able to visualize the night life of Bourbon Street.REVENGE is the third installment of Degrees of Darkness series and it's a romantic suspense. If you haven't read Relentless and Retribution, I recommend you do so before reading this book so you have the full picture of Remy and Cody's relationship.Thank you, Ms Austin, for your writing talent and sharing these amazing characters with us readers. I totally recommend this read to all genre readers.Reviewed by CozyReaderfor TheRomanceReviews.com
