Copper

Yet another fantastic Blackwood book. I loved Tai, Ren, Kylie, and Miles. The storyline was great, the romance sizzling, and the humor perfect. When you combine all that in a setting like Luxor you hit gold. And I always love when Emmy shows up! Noble’s writing style is perfect; she combines cheeky humor, sarcasm, and wit. I have not read a single book of hers that I did not love. The characters become old friends and you always cannot wait for the next book.

I loved Copper! I loved how Tai ended up on her adventure (and a tad jealous!). I was excited to get a bit of Miles Bradley in the book too. There’s adventure, excitement, gunfire and love. Wonderful read!

With Copper, Elise Noble gifts her readers with an irresistible, funny, witty comedy with a sting. A good part of the book is utterly hilarious. The protagonist, the very British Taisiya Hermione Beaulieu, aka Tai, is a smart, clever, and resourceful young woman deceived under an insecure and awkward persona. Her witty lines of thought frame the thread of the story. Copper is also a book about choices. The story begins when Tai suddenly decides to leave her dull and frustrating job and fly to Egypt. Two men gravitate around her, the geeky Russell and the arrogant Ren. Every few chapters, Tai has to decide what comes next, either following her newly found independence or going back to her old conservative approach. The result is a story full of twists and turns, that amuses and involves the reader, who cannot avoid taking sides at each turning point. Suddenly, around the middle of the book, the plot takes a dramatic spin, turning into a fast-paced action thriller. Quite unexpectedly, Emmy makes her appearance, jumping into the action and getting it sorted her way. A sweet and delicate interlude of Bradley comforting his boyfriend Miles is a most welcome cameo episode. Finally, a masterfully crafted and entirely satisfactorily ending leaves the reader amused and pleased. Overall, Copper is a combination of many genres, with a rich plot and a full cast of intriguing characters. A slate of secondary but skilfully depicted personas enriches the setting of the story to the point that the reader feels immersed in the noise and the heat of an authentic Egyptian town. As a result, the book fascinates, involves, and intrigues while taking its readers on an exotic vacation, leaving them dreamy and looking forward to the next episode.

Copper is a great read. It’s funny and action packed! Tai goes on an adventure packed getaway that makes me wish I was along for the ride. She was brave enough to change her life by leaving work and found herself while trying to stay alive. This was just as great and entertaining as the other Blackwood books and I am happy to have read it. Every time a new book is out I just have to reread them all again. Definitely recommend anyone to read, it has something for everyone.

Elise Noble always uses humor to develop her characters and plots. Copper does not disappoint. Elise uses Taisiya (Tai) Beaulieu as a means to introduce new characters as well as incorporate old friends during her spur of the moment adventure. I really enjoyed meeting Miles Bradley and learning about his archeological digs which adds intrigue and peril to the challenges Tai encounters. "I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book"
