I really enjoyed another England meets the wild west cowboy world that Sally has put together. Marriage of convenience is my favorite trope and I enjoyed watching Chris and Evelyn fall in love. I wish she had dropped her apprehension a little earlier but the kisses were sweet when they showed up in the story.

This was such a sweet story! I loved the mix of cultures. Set in Arizona during the Victorian era we get the cowboy feel along with English society. Our main couple are both thrown into difficult situations that bring them together. Chris is now the guardian of his friend's two kids and Evelyn, a widow with a kid from England, has traveled all the way to Arizona to find the shares in a copper mine to give them a living is counterfeit. She has had a hard past with the men in her life so she isn't sure she can trust Chris but his character is so sweet. They learn about each other and grow.
I listened to the audio and loved it! The narrator did a great job with the different parts from the accents to the gender and age. I could easily get into the story.

It’s no secret I’m not a huge fan of westerns. However, after reading Copper for the Countess, I need to amend that statement because I am such a HUGE fan of this book. I was totally wow’d by it and it is by far the best western I’ve ever read.
Where are the westerns like this one? Sally has set the bar and I need more!!
Frosty gets all the stars, all the swoony awards and all the heart eye emojis. I read this one in one sitting because I was so into it. I literally loved every page! Get yourself this book and get reading! You can thank me later!!
Thanks to the author for the copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I originally read it back when it first released and I loved it so much. When I heard it was on audio I eagerly downloaded it, and let me tell you I think I loved it even more the second time through, if that’s possible.
Marian Hussey’s narration brought the book alive. Chris and Evie’s love story is so sweet and their character growth unfolds naturally. Never once did I feel frustrated with them like you do with some stories, you just follow along and savor each moment of their journey. Chris, AKA Frosty, will go down in history as one of my favorite cowboys. He’s patient, kind to his core, hard-working, understanding, strong and the way he cares for Evelyn is ***sigh*** so beautiful.
I also love Evelyn. I could relate to her as a mother. Willing to do anything for her daughter, then the other children under her care. I admired her strength and her determination as she is thrust from one bad situation to another. She needed someone kind and dependable in her life and he was there for her like no one had been before.
This is a fantastic book that I highly recommend! It’s clean while still having plenty of chemistry and slow burn. I can’t wait for book three!

I instantly loved every character in this book! They all had such an openness about them that drew me in. I’m impressed with Sally’s writing skills in giving you a grasp of one’s character with just one line or a small detail.
I loved everything about this novel and how it all came about. Chris is the perfect gentleman and just who Evelyn needed to be appreciated as a person rather than a trophy wife.
I’m very much looking forward to Ed’s story in the third book! This was a fabulous read and I enjoyed every second.

If I tell you I loved this book, it wouldn’t be a strong enough description. SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. Sally has woven the sweetest, most realistic love story and I adored every single second of reading it! This is one of the first times that I was not only intrigued by both characters within a handful of pages, but I already loved them! Every aspect of this book was so well done, from the history, love story, side characters, and plot. You won’t be disappointed by this one!

Loved this western romance! Sally Britton is proving to be a talented writer in any genre. I love her Regency romances and was excited to try this western romance set in Arizona in the Victorian era. This story does not disappoint.
Evelyn is a beautiful British Countess who travels to Arizona with her daughter after the death of her husband. She believes that the Earl left her shares in a copper mine. When the shares turn out to be fake, she doesn’t know what to do next until she spies a handsome cowboy who happens to drop a penny.
After the unexpected death of his good friends, Chris “Frosty” Morgan has just learned that he is now responsible for two young children. As a confirmed bachelor, he doesn’t have the slightest idea how to raise children. When a beautiful woman approaches him with his dropped penny, it might just be his lucky day.
I love a good marriage of convenience story and this was definitely an enjoyable book to curl up with on a cold October day. The characters were so likable. Chris was the ultimate swoon worthy cowboy with his gorgeous “frosty” blue eyes. But his personality definitely doesn’t fit his nickname. He is so kind, thoughtful, and patient not only with the children, but especially Evelyn. Evelyn was also an endearing character. Despite her painful past, she is willing to work hard and learn new things. She’s a loving mother not only to her own daughter, but to the other children as well. The supporting characters including the children are delightful too.
With a slow build romance, humor, and a little bit of mystery, this story was hard to put down. While this can definitely be read as a stand alone, it would be more enjoyable if you’ve read the first book in the series, Silver Dollar Duke, to really appreciate the reoccurring characters and storyline. Looking forward to the third book in the series. I received an advanced copy from the author. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review.

You know what they say, when it rains….it pours cowboys.
Ok that’s technically incorrect but the fact that I’ve read two cowboy romances in the last month when in the last 2 years prior I’ve read none. There must be something in the water.
Copper for the Countess is about a recently widowed woman who has sailed to America with her daughter and a American cowboy who has more recently has been put in charge of his deceased cousins children. Both are struggling, out of their element and in need of serious help.
*Cue the marriage of convenience bells
What I love about Sally’s books is that these sweet romances always feel authentic to the times. She creates slow burns that develop from tender friendships. Frosty is a serious man in need of a woman’s touch not only in his home but in his romantic life. Who doesn’t love a stern blue eyed cowboy? Evelyn has a tragic, abused past with her beauty used as a curse. She has a hard time trusting and is running out of options.
When these two come together they create this really heart warming symphony. I love marriage of convenience and this love story feels realistic and sweet in nature. There are themes of family, community and reaching out to help those in need.
Plus the mentions of Arizona and Oklahoma put a little bit of home in this story for me.
If you are a regency romance fan but would like to add a western twist to it…then I say pick this one up!
