I should like this story. It has a cruel hero returning to wreck revenge on the heroine - but alas, it falls short of a trainwreck and an angst fest.
Why?
Too much telling and not showing and way too many scenes that take place in lawyer's offices.
The premise: Heroine was trailer trash and hero was the golden, rich boy of the town. They had sex on prom night and then hero was accused of a petty crime. Hero didn't want to ruin the heroine's reputation, so he left town without a word. Heroine ended up pregnant and hero's older brother married her to protect her reputation and his.
Fast forward ten years. Hero is a millionaire and brother is dead and broke. Hero threatens to throw heroine out of the house and take her son away from her. (He looks just like hero and not his brother)
On and on it goes. We're told the heroine is ostracized by the town, but we don't see it. We are told the hero's father was impossible, etc. . . But all the dramatic scenes are through the wrong end of the telescope - far away with small impact.
It's too bad because this could have been a fun angst ride. Instead the hero looks unstable with all of his crazy threats and the heroine looks and acts like a zombie liar throughout.
I pity their poor son who will still be teased on the playground, no matter how happy his parents are.

The writing is good, I like SM’s style.
This is not some amateur writer’s book, she’s good at describing feelings, situations and conflicting emotions.
There’s also a good angst level so I gave two stars.
Unfortunately the rest - the plot and its reasons - doesn’t work.
Why is this?
The hero and the heroine have an affair when they are both teenagers, he’s rich while she’s from a trailer park but she’s innocent and he falls in love with her. They make love, and the day after he’s framed by one of his ex and - to avoid to involve the heroine- he doesn’t tell anyone where he was.
Then he decides to leave, because he thinks she’ll be better without him. Before leaving he asks his brother to take care of her.
So these are the premises, and they are - should be- quite good, the boy who acts like a hero to protect his love and the brother who will “take care of her”.
But, there’s a but, or else many buts.
- first he doesn’t even say goodbye to her, simply leaves because he’s afraid she could stop him.
- second he never says he’ll be back, so she is not supposed to wait for him isn’t she??? Why the hell did she have to wait for him if he simply disappeared in thin air??? Wasn’t she supposed to go on with her life just as he went on with his?????
- the heroine of course finds out she’s pregnant and the hero’s brother asks her to marry for the child. He tells her he’s gay and he will be happy to have a son to care for.
- during their marriage he has a lover in another town and everybody talks about how she pushed him away because she’s cold and he had to find another woman. Only it’s not a she but a he.
- when the hero receives a letter from his brother that he’s married the heroine ( almost two years later since he traveled a lot) he’s furious. But why??? He left her and didn’t mean to go back so why should he be angry if she married another man???
-when the brother dies and the hero comes back he plans his revenge. Why should he want retribution? For what sin? His behavior is really impossible to understand and without any reason. It’s not as if she left him, he left her and without an word, and without even worrying if she was pregnant.
- the double standard thing. This really pissed me. I can’t tolerate any more double standard, if the book is a present. I could understand in a Victorian romance but now it’s not acceptable any more. It’s male chauvinism and the worst is that it comes from female writers. He had sex with hundred women while she remained celibate and still he’s slut-shaming her. How I wished she had dozens of men too. It would have only been fair. Women have needs to. But no, she gets a gay husband. Grrrrrrrr.
- he keeps on calling her a gold digger and he repeatedly shames and demeans her for most of the book, then when she gives him her lil pie he’s so ecstatic that he tells her he loves her.
- then he throws her out of his apartment because he read the letters his brother’s lover wrote him.
Ok, if the writer wanted to win a prize for the worst hero of the year she succeeded.
- I’m starting to think that all those billionaires in hp romances are some kind of savants, that is some mentally underdeveloped individuals with only one skill, in this case to make much money. Because the man is so dumb that not just for one moment he thinks that the boy who looks exactly like him, could be his. And can’t even count. Congratulations to his brains.
-the heroine is not better. She should have blurted out the truth the moment he was back, and asked him all alimony with arrears, but no, she takes all the blows and what is worse, she hurts her son in the process, just to spite the hero.
- the end was so abrupt it was painful. No explanation about the past, no talking about what happened, what they did during those 9 years apart, it all ended in three lines. And the heroine forgave him much too easily.
So many missed chances… I’m really sorry because it could have been a better book, with some more communication and less quarrels, and an end a little longer and different.

So disappointing! The Corsican Gambit by Sandra Marton was the first Presents title I ever read, and I was mesmerized from start to finish. But this book . . . just no way. Cole Cameron is dumb, mean, judgmental as hell, and an utter creep from start to finish. Faith is weak, timid, spineless, and boring. All of the other characters are unbelievable, and they jerk around doing whatever the plot requires.
Okay, from here on in I am doing spoilers that explain why the plot was so horrendous and the characters so unreal.
Cole gets Faith pregnant on prom night in high school. Happens all the time. But the same night a screechy older woman falsely accuses him of trashing her husband's mansion. Cole is too much of a "gentleman" to explain where he was at the time, (taking Faith's virginity) so he blows town, without one word of explanation to Faith. That is a bit less believable. Then, while he's gone, making a vast fortune overnight in the oil business (because capitalism really favors dumb dropout runaways with no education) his older brother Ted marries Faith. So then Cole assumes that 1. Faith only marries Ted for money 2. She's an evil slut and 3. The baby must be Ted's. All this on the basis of zero evidence, and Cole never even wonders if the baby might be his. Like he's forgotten he scored that night? Or he can't count to nine?
But wait! It turns out big brother Ted is gay. Sandra Marton wants him gay, so Faith can be pure for *nine years* till Cole returns, looking for "revenge" for whatever he imagines Faith did, such as moving on after he dumps her and vanishes from her life without a word of explanation. (Insert a cute GIF of a baby throwing up, or a crazy man banging his head against a wall over and over.)
Now Ted could be gay, because people are gay in real life. But . . . oh my God. We're supposed to believe that Cole, who grew up with Ted as his big brother, protector, and only friend, never noticed that his big brother didn't like girls? No guys at school never taunted him? Their cruel father never tormented him? There was no small town gossip? We're told people gossip about Faith for years, and years, even long after she's married a wealthy man and become a decent and loving mother. But Ted had everyone fooled, including a genius like Cole, his kid brother, who shadows him for years. Right! (Insert a cute GIF of someone getting punched in the face.)
The moment Cole returns, he makes it clear to Faith he hates her, and wants "revenge" for whatever it is he thinks she did to him. She helpfully says she hates him too. But she never asks him any basic questions, like why did you run out on me? Did you know you knocked me up? Did you know your brother was gay?
You have to read to the very end of this piece of crap book to see a conversation that could have happened on page 20. To me that's the essence of a bad romance novel. And nothing Cole ever does to Faith makes up for his bullying, or his stupidity. He gives her a free trip to New York City, and we're supposed come in our underthings at work? (Insert a cute GIF of . . . well, you get the idea.)
The only good moment in NYC was where he introduces her to two of his minions, and their names are "Otto" and "Dobbs."
You see, Otto is a tough punk teen from LA who repossesses cars and wears an ear ring. And Dobbs is a down on his luck prospector who thinks everyone is out to take his "goods." Actually no, but picturing leering, unshaven Fred C. Dobbs from TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE hacking Cole to death with a machete made me smile. Then I pictured Cole's dismembered corpse stuffed in the trunk of a Chevy Malibu, like in the movie REPO MAN. The car is being driven through LA by a deranged scientist who helped design the neutron bomb. ("It's so immoral, working on it can drive you mad!") And then Otto gets into the Malibu and gets ready to fly away to the stars, just like in REPO MAN. And Faith bleats, "what about our relationship?" And Otto says, "screw that!"
That's how I felt by the time I finished COLE CAMERON'S REVENGE.

Like other reviewers I found the end rather unfulfilling. Still SM has an acceptable level of angst throughout this book even if I wish that the hero would not have had such a knee jerk reaction at the end. Then his grovel was not quite there. There was a pretty good rationale for the secret baby here. The hero was a bit of a jerk for never figuring out that it was his child and just why the heroine and his brother had married.
August 28, 2012
3.5 stars. This kept my interest, but the hero was too mean and didn't redeem himself. It started off great, and had there been some 5-star groveling at the end, it might have ended great too. Still, it was readable.
One pet peeve -- I hate it when the child in a romance doesn't side with his mother -- where's the loyalty? I found the son annoying in this one.

Overall this was a pretty good story. I felt that the characters were well drawn and had good reasons for the choices that they made throughout the story. Cole was very mean to Faith when he returned but the reader knew deep down he still cared about her. For example: when he discovered that his brother died in an accident he asked about her and was genuinely concerned about whether or not she survived. He is extremely jealous about what or whom she has been with over the years as well. Apparently this is important in these books.
What bothered me the most is the fact that he decided to take revenge upon her because she married his brother. From his perspective it seems reasonable that he would want to seek to hurt her the way she had inadvertently hurt him over the years by marrying his brother, Ted. However, before Cole ran away like he did he told his brother to take care of her. So his brother did! Cole never even told Faith that he was leaving. He needed to get out of town and he wanted to protect her so he didn't speak up when he could have. Yet Cole has conveniently forgotten that he told his brother to take care of Faith and he can only think of seeking revenge on the gold digger!! I wanted him to seek revenge on the liar who caused him to leave town as well as his accursed father!! I can't believe that he would be so eager to believe the people of that small town when they didn't seem to care too much about him before, but I excused that because all signs pointed to them telling the truth. However, I would expect him to be even madder once he discovers the truth after Faith has run away with his nephew and he searches her out. Given that he was so eager to punish Faith for marrying his brother, one would think he would be royally peeved that she sought to deny him something else. After all he was willing to punish her for a supposed wrong when later it is a guaranteed wrong, yet he doesn't punish her at all and really doesn't say anything about it. He is just so happy to have her back in his life. If there had been a little more anger on his part I would have given the story five stars. Definite angst here!

Meh --- H was an ass and the h was annoying.
March 11, 2021
Decisions, decisions-whether to 2 star it or 3 star. I chose 3 because of the editing and writing skills evident. The story left some doubt. Cole abandons the h (who he loves) but never contacts her with any information at all. He doesn't contact his brother who he says he loves either. The H routinely jumps to conclusions and is very bitter. He fails to realize, in my opinion, that his choices set the stage for all of the angst. His anger was OTT and reminded me of a toddler's temper tantrum.
The h survived. Her son survived. In this town, the H's brother-husband to the h, did little to ensure she was treated with respect...even in her own home. His 'son' was also treated badly and he did not move or intervene. Perhaps he feared his own secret would be exposed?
For your consideration: change the title from revenge to redemption.

Got fed up with this story very quickly but I was determined to finish it. Cole is just a nasty person. Judging Faith without trying to find out the truth. He kept calling her "Baby" and it just grated every time he said it. The ending was unusual. I expected a different reaction, from Cole, when he found out about Peter. If he loved his brother so much why didn't he contact him during those nine years? What an arse. This one will not be in my keep pile.

4 1/2 Stars! ~ Cole Cameron left town suddenly eight years before to protect the girl he loved from shame. He later learnt that she married his brother, and he feelings of love soon changed to bitterness as he felt she had betrayed him for his family's money. Cole returns to his home town when he learns that his brother had died in an auto accident. And what he finds makes him even more bitter towards Faith, as it seems that she lead his brother a merry dance, forced him to marry her and then coldly left his bed after the birth of their son. Cole is drawn to his nephew and sees much of himself in the trusting boy. Faith still carries the hurt when Cole abandoned her those years ago, but puts that aside for her son's sake. It seems that her husband has left her quite penniless and about to be homeless when Cole sells the family estate. Cole's apparent hate for her shocks her and forces her to keep quiet about the true relationship she had with his brother.
Ms Marton opens this story with Cole as a very young man and the circumstance that lead to him leaving town suddenly. I'm glad she gave us this insight, had she not, I fear I would not have warmed up to Cole very easily. His bitterness has made him ruthless and almost cruel in his behaviour. Faith will do anything to protect her son. She agrees to Cole's demands but makes her own in return. I liked that she wasn't going to be his doormat. Their emotions are intense. Some may be disappointed that the only love scene is towards the end of the book. I read this in one sitting and have found myself reaching for it. A definite book for the keeper pile!

although the book was fairly predictable I enjoyed the scenes between Faith and Cole. Cole was the proverbial bad boy who made good. He'd never gotten over Faith and the misunderstandings between the two of them were slightly amusing. Faith didn't want Cole to know her son was his...... After Cole had left town due to slightly contrived circumstances Faith had married Cole's brother..... Cole returns to town as his brother has died. That's when it gets funny and why I gave it 3 stars.
Faith has a lawyer draw up a piece of paper that Cole won't claim his marital rights...... Hilarious in modern times. I mean really?! Though Cole is angry and has things wrong he's still driven by a desire to have Faith truly be his wife in every sense of the word. I find it odd that, Cole wasn't aware of Faith and having a child...... Nor was he aware that his brother was homosexual. Faith keeping this secret was fantastic. When Cole made ludicrous accusations against Faith she kept her word and didn't reveal the truth. Cole realizing he was VERY wrong about Faith and the past was a nice moment.
It was sweet at the end and a bit redemptive when Cole and Faith reached resolution, admitted their love for each other and let their son know that Cole was his true dad. The scenes between Cole and his son were endearing. Faith would come in and see them together and her throat would constrict at how alike they were, etc. The book had moments of brilliance but far too often it languised in mediocrity......
a pleasant read. don't expect to be bowled over.....
