This was a well written story and revenge and how the best laid plans can backfire. When you least expect to find love it smacks you in the face. Grace was innocent and could have been taken down professionally because of some things her father has done in the past and is still doing.
This was a nice story and held my interest from page one.

Real estate tycoon Luke McCall has a plan to take down the underhanded competitor messing with his livelihood. He intends to romance the man’s daughter, gain her trust, and get the information he needs to put his rival out of business once and for all. He just didn’t plan for the way she makes him feel.

Grace Wilson is tired of men using her smarts, social position, or her father’s status for their personal gain. It’s time for a new philosophy: Test. Screw. Dump. But after she meets Luke, she’s not sure she’ll be able to walk away. Not only is he sexy and charming, but he survives every test she puts him through. But can she trust a guy who seems too good to be true?

The Millionaires Revenge was a good book. Grace Wilson is a Business Consultant for her father Cyrus Whitaker. Luke McCall owes LRM Real Estate. Luke wanted the Hudson River building but the building was being bought by Cyrus. He has to find evidence against Cryus and be believed Cyrus daughter Grace is involved in Cyrus shady dealings.. He sets plans to get to know Grace. Luke starts dating Grace and starts to believe she is innocent. Grace was skeptical at first about Luke. She started to put him through tests to see if he would pass. Grace felt Like was to good to be true (TGTBT). I did enjoy the book

This was a good read. My heart hurt from the beginning knowing Luke was playing grace to get to her father. Your heart feels the pull between them yet knows the backlash is going to be phenomenally bad. Her dad is a definite piece of work. Like I said a good read overall.

Grace's dad is the real estate mongrul, Cyrus, who stops at nothing to get his way. Luke is more than upset that Cyrus outbidded him on a piece of property. Wanting to get back at Cyrus, Luke goes after his daughter, Grace, only to learn that she's nothing like her father. Without meaning to, Luke finds himself falling for her and his starting to question his decision. Grace is tired of men who use her to get to her father or who are fake. When she meets Luke, she feels like there's something false about him but can't put her finger on it. the longer she gets to know him, the more she thinks he may be the perfect man for her. Wendy Byrne is a good addition to the Entangled Publishing authors!

Took me forever to read a 127 page novel - I think that says a lot about the novel.

Grace Wilson is the daughter of ruthless property magnate Cyrus Whitaker. She acts as his business adviser and is his antithesis in every way. She is jaded after yet another man sees her as a tool to achieving his objective - the last one wanted her father to sponsor him to an exclusive Manhattan club. Now Grace has hatched a plan to thoroughly test any man who expresses an interest before she sleeps with him, then dumps him.

Luke McCall has dragged himself up from his bootstraps from an abusive childhood. He and Cyrus have been at loggerheads over various property deals. When Cyrus cuts Luke out of the Hudson River Building development by spreading false rumours about shoddy workmanship, Luke is determined to expose Cyrus for the corrupt businessman he really is. And what better way than through his airhead, socialite daughter Grace, who's probably in cahoots with her old man anyway? So Luke sets out to woo Grace and be the very best boyfriend he can be so that he can ferret out proof of Cyrus' dirty dealings.

This was OK. I've read a whole slew of this type of book and this didn't stand out as being anything new or different. Luke ignored or dismissed all evidence that Grace was not like her father basing his opinions on nothing more than his own biased views. Grace seemed to personify so many different stock personalities that I thought she might get schizophrenia (innocent ingenue, patsy daughter, girl with a dating plan, girl who's never had an orgasm, girl who's been used by the men in her life...). Luke came from an abusive home, he has an estranged brother, he's a ruthless property developer who's never been to the opera ...

I was surprised to see that I had read the previous book, about Luke's brother Rafe, slightly less surprised to realise I couldn't remember it at all, even after I re-read my own review. I expect that the same will be true of this book too.

I haven't read many books where I have disliked the hero. This book is an exception though. I liked most of the story, but I didn't like that even after Grace unintentionally proved so many times that she was a nice person, Luke still thought of her as a person who shouldn't be trusted. I didn't feel like her started to fall for her and even after finishing the book I think of him as the kind of boyfriend a heroine has because she meets the hero who is going to love her unconditionally and show her how precious she is to him. She took him to a lingerie store and he was complaining that he was forced to watch a game on his phone screen instead of his big TV. Any other hero would have forgotten about the game and tried to get into the changing room with the heroine. He is the worst book boyfriend of the year for me. If the author could replace him with someone else (Garret sounds like a good idea) I will be eternally happy. I honestly wouldn't go back to him after everything he did.

After a while I got tired of the acronyms. I wanted to enjoy my book, not wonder what TGTBT meant or other stuff like that. They were used way too much in my humble opinion. Most of them had to do with Grace and her tests. I loved her for her charity work, but I disliked her because she seemed too stupid sometimes. She hates shopping, but she forces Luke to go with her in order to test him. Wouldn't it be better if she tested him by doing something she liked? I wasn't a big fan of this book and I will consider it very hard if I am going to read another book by this author.

This was a sweet, funny and heartwarming read. Enjoyed Grace and Luke's story. First book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last.
