Ashley James does not disappoint with the Copper Lake books. This is the second book of hers that I’ve read and now I need to read every book that she has.
From the moment that Xander and Copeland meet when Xander’s vehicle broke down, I knew this was going to be the best love story between these two. I loved how Xander wasn’t used to people wanting to help him because from where he was from, it wasn’t known for people to be helpful like that.
And I loved how Cope was so sweet by being him breakfast anymore or even how he made food for him and his aunt when they came back from the hospital. Super sweet!
And I looooove Shooter. He’s so awesome when he’s with Copeland. He has not changed and he’s so unhinged and I absolutely love it.
The way that Ashley really went into Cope’s sexual was perfect because not a lot of writers can do what she did like that. To justify why he feels the way he does for Xander made me feel for him and it made me feel like I was there in that moment.
Don’t get me started on how spicy the scenes were and the scene where Shooter and Sterling were going at it when they were… just wow! I needed - no, I needed more.
And the ending with the birthday presents was the best way to end the book. I’ve never laughed so much because it was so perfect.
