For the keeper pile! .....

Cole Cameron's Revenge by Sandra Marton Harlequin Presents # 2233 - January 2002 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 hometown 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 again. A definite for the keeper pile! :D Cole Cameron's Revenge won the 2002 RT Reviewers' Choice award in the Harlequin Presents category

4.5 STARS! I Highly Recommend!

The prologue drew me in fast and once I was hooked, I could not put this book down until it was over. By page fifty, I had cried so much my eyes were puffy and red. Sandra Marton brings these characters to life. She lets you see what they are thinking and I felt like I understood their decisions by reading about their internalized feelings. The hero and heroine are so right for each other but their wrong conclusions about the past make them star-crossed lovers. The attraction they have for one another sizzles and I even felt my stomach flip when he'd kiss her. My emotions were so caught up in this novel but...The ending would have been perfect had the characters feelings been revealed to the reader. However, at the most vital scene, Sandra Marton stops revealing the character's feelings to the reader. Instead there is dialogue between the characters and the secrets are revealed with out the reader ever knowing how the other truly feels about the revelation. This makes the end unrealistic and it falls flat. A few lines of internalized feelings would have made this a five-star book, and because it comes so close, I would have liked to give it 4.5 stars.I highly recommend this novel because, even though the ending falls slightly short of perfect, this book is a great read with three-dimensional characters, an interesting plot, and great pacing.

TONI'S REVIEW

I want to share this great review with you. It was written by Toni Kroening, and she's given me permission to share it.Toni said:"Cole Cameron's Revenge" came in the mail after Christmas, giving me a nudge to keep my dreams alive. My head has been filled with interest rates and taxes lately.Your book did the impossible. It enabled me to get away from it all and still remember what is really important. As a reader, you kept me captivated and it was hard to put down. I was able to return to whatever scene I left without losing the story. That's talent.As a writer, you impressed me again. I loved the prologue and the set up. You promised me a story with enough meat and came through at the end. Underneath all the anger and the horrible words they said to one another, it boiled down to the love they have. It was superbly written."

A compelling read

This is a wonderful book, full of depth and heart. The story is compelling and the characters and their emotions are beautifully drawn. I highly recommend this to any reader looking for something more than a read-it-and-forget-about-it experience. This one will linger with you.
