Restitution is the third in a series that Susanne Beck has written about Angel (Tyler Moore) and Ice (Morgan Steele). Angel and Ice met in the first book, Redemption, when they were both in prison; tried to build a life in the second book, Retribution; and try to pick up the pieces in this last book. Ice has been captured by the authorities who are willing to work a deal. If she will use her skills as a former hit woman for the Mafia to bring in the man who originally set her up for the murder that sent her to prison, all of the charges will be dropped against her. If she doesn't agree to this, she will go back to prison and the authorities will prosecute Angel for helping Ice to hide in Canada. Talk about being between a rock and a hard place. Retribution is about how Ice goes about this task, trying to keep Angel safe in the meantime. Beck reintroduces several characters from the first book, friends of both women from prison, who come to help Ice with her problem. There is just the right blend of humor, adventure and cliff-hanging to make this book work. Beck once again has created very vivid and realistic characters. Women who want to step out of the pages of the book and actually breathe. Yes, this is another in the long line of Uber Xena books, but these characters have an edginess and strength that is often missing in the other books. And Beck hasn't lost her touch with writing love scenes either. All of these books will definitely keep you "interested". The best part is that they're just plain well written. You'll need to read all three to see the whole story, but you won't regret that.

START OF BACK COVER TEXT - Picking up three months after "Retribution" left off, this is the story of how Ice finally makes full restitution for her crimes by agreeing to a plea bargain set up by a secret justice probe. The authorities are out to get the man who's almost twice killed Ice (and who is in possession of some secrets which could topple a state government if he's caught). She only agrees to the plea because if she doesn't, Angel will be incarcerated for harboring a fugitive, and Ice will not let that happen.
- END OF BACK COVER TEXT

The third and final book in the Ice and Angel trilogy, `Restitution' (following `Retribution') is the finale to the endearing story of two tragic characters brought to us by Suzanne Beck.

Ice cuts a deal with the DA to drop the charges against her, get her sentence reduced to time served, and to not press charges against Angel for aiding and abetting if she finds a man named Cavallo and delivers him alive. They catch him in the southwestern desert of the US, but the FBI and other government officials are unwilling to abide by the agreement.

Beck is also the author of `The Growing.' Unfortunately for her fans, she hasn't published much else.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Trilogy You'll Ever Read, October 23, 2006

I read the Redemption trilogy several years ago and absolutely fell in love with them. These books have everything, excellent writing, edge of your seat action, and passion so hot you'll burn your fingers turning the pages. I'm still in love with Ice! While each book can stand alone, start with the first one, Redemption. You won't regret it. Like Radclyffe? You'll love Beck after reading these.
