Spy.5.0 out of 5 stars We All Need Heroes We all need heroes to personify our dreams and inspire our lives. Abel Torres, son of a Black mother and an illegal immigrant father, is just such a hero. In confronting the challenges and mores and judgments of American culture, and his many personal crises of conscience, he reaches for the ultimate American dream, emerging as a hero to us and best of all, to himself. Courage, conscience, honor, patriotism, not to mention an Andrea Bocelli-like singing voice, it all comes together in this highly entertaining and uplifting story. Bravo!5.0 out of 5 stars Now THAT'S a good read! Breezy, fun, and fast-paced. Deliciously sarcastic, yet romantic and tense all at once. So many favorite characters, I couldn't decide who I wanted Abel Torres to end up with!Most of all, Copperhead is so far out of the mold that I never once groaned, and "this again... and " as I do with so much m m fiction. Good job,5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down... Copperhead is the author's third novel and I have to say, his writing style and storytelling gets better with each book!This is a great read, hard to put down, keeping me up late. Lots of action and adventure and of course, a bit of romance making for a very entertaining escape. Copperhead, or actually Abel Torres, is a compassionate and outstanding singer...and sexy to say the least. I highly recommend the book.
