Does this sentence make sense?

"She was so happy and grateful that I felt more than recompense for all that I had tried to do to help her."

It's too long and convoluted. It'd be better to rephrase or break it into two sentences.

Maybe this:
I felt more than rewarded because she was happy and grateful for all I had done for her.
Are you trying to use recompense?

Recompense was made, and no libel suit was filed.
The book gives me this sentence:
"She was so happy and grateful that I felt more than _______________ for all that I had tied to do to help her.
I have to choose from these words:
adjacent, alight, barren, disrupt, dynasty, foretaste, germinate, humdrum, hurtle, insiuate, interminable, interrogate, recompense, renovate, sullen, trickle, trivial, truce, and vicious.
Then recompense is the "best" choice. It is very awkward usage, in my opinion.
I agree with Writeacher that this is an awkward sentence. None of the words fits well in this sentence. However it would be acceptable if the sentence read:

"She was so happy and grateful that I felt THAT HER GRATITUDE WAS more than ENOUGH recompense for all that I had tried to do to help her."
Thank you!
Correct. Sadlier, huh?
