I have always enjoyed historical novels by Carol Cox and was happy to have the opportunity to read and review “Copper Sunrise”. Not only was it an excellent and riveting story but I learned quite a bit I didn’t know about Arizona’s progression toward statehood.
“Copper Sunrise” features Catherine whose independent streak has taken her from the ranch where she grew up to the city of Phoenix where she hopes to prove she can take care of herself. She quickly finds a job at a land investment company where to her delight she quickly advances. At her workplace Catherine also meets Mitchell Brewer, an up-and-coming journalist whose assignment is to profile the influential men of Phoenix who could impact Arizona’s future. Although Catherine and Mitchell quickly form a friendship and their attraction is strong, Catherine’s increasing hours at work not only keep them apart but threaten to undermine her former values as well. As it becomes evident that some underhanded land acquisition is taking place, both Mitchell and Catherine must decide whether to face the truth and do the right thing.
Although “Copper Sunrise” was a fairly short novel, the story itself seemed pretty big. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Catherine and Mitchell develop as well as learning what choices they would make. With plenty of drama, history, suspense, and romance for most readers, this novel was a quite satisfying read.
I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book that was provided by the author. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Arizona Statehood
I enjoyed this romance set at the time Arizona prepared to become a state. Great characters in this inspirational story with its moral dilemma. An excellent read.
