Southern Beaus #3
Copperhead Road
Everyone in Bay Mignon knows the Truitts are white-trash bad news, generations of moon-shiners and drug runners, and none more so than handsome Bolt Truitt. Rumor insists some of the fifteen years he's been away were spent in prison. Cameron Fontaine knows that's true. But he also knows the town doesn't know the real Bolt.
Cameron does. He's loved Bolt since they were both kids, just discovering life and each other. Even though fate ripped them apart, Cameron never stopped believing in Bolt, never stopped loving him. And his heart swears Bolt's different, the drug dealing left in the past. No matter his other sins, Bolt has never lied to Cameron.
Until now. Evidence, words from Bolt's own lips, shatter Cameron's trust and his heart. Still, a lifetime of love, even separated for so long, can't just be set aside. Though he can't trust Bolt any more, Cameron will risk everything to see his lover safe...even his life...

About the author
T.D. McKinney
18 books65 followersT. D. McKinney was born with eclectic tastes. Author, artist, web designer - those tastes show in the careers she's chosen.
Growing up on the American Gulf Coast, she gained a great appreciation for all things Southern and a fascination with what the community around her termed the War of Northern Aggression. Frequent trips to New Orleans to visit relatives instilled an early love for that city and for the Cajun culture. One of her earliest memories is viewing Mardi Gras parades when she was three years old. She freely admits that at the tender age of six she fell in love with both Barnabas Collins of Dark Shadows’ fame and Jonny Quest’s scientist-father, Benton. Sherlock Holmes followed soon after as one of the great abiding interests of her life. A long time fan of science fiction and horror, she met her husband while selling art at a science fiction convention.
These early influences doubtless explain a great deal about the author and her writings. There is very little she doesn’t find interesting whether it’s art, music, history, vampires, web design, or forensic science. Everything is there to be explored, investigated, and attempted at least once. This trait often carries over into her writing. She loves exploring characters that are not afraid to take a risk or step outside the constraints of society or family. And if the character doesn’t want to take that chance, she likes creating situations that require they do so.
T. D. lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of north Texas with her husband and young daughter. With so many careers, she keeps quite busy. In her spare time, she shares her husband’s interest in vampires, the internet, science fiction, collecting swords, and all things Japanese.

I really wish we got to know the characters more before they had sex together! That was really annoying me in the beginning because it means more when you can truly picture them and understand their hearts. But once I finished the book I understood why it was written that way. I really really liked the book. Thought it was fantastic. Liked the MC's!. Loved seeing Brian and David again. Liked this book more than The Wolfe Proxy.

Started with prose so purple it glowed in the dark, and a quite far fetched story. The latter remained, but later, the author cut back on the flowers and kittens a little, and added an element of fantasy, and it got better. The end was very sweet, but the dash of ironic spice added to it cut of the saccharine edge, so I ended up enjoying it nevertheless.

Well, it's an okay read although I have to admit that the fact that the two men have not seen each other for 15 years and then continue, as quick as possible, as lovers is just too lovey dovey for my taste. But again, it's an okay read ... cannot say that I hate it or anything.

Good plot premise, but poorly written with overly florid prose that was unintentionally funny. Plus used incorrect words, such as 'invincible' when it was clear 'inevitable' was the correct word.

A little predictable but I'm enjoying the series so I'm finding these characters entertaining as well as the appearances of the previous MC's from the first books.
