Copper for the Countess by Sally Britton
4.0
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.
