Utah, USA - Breve biografia
- Lisa Bingham is the youngest of three children. She has been lucky enough to live and study in such exotic locales as Brazil, Mexico, United Kingdom, and the Continental Europe. Today, she is a teacher at a middle school in northern Utah, and in addition, she’s been a professional costume designer for more than twenty years for theatrical and re-enactment attire, and is considered an expert in the field.
She is a self-described "write-aholic", and she believes that writing is as necessary to her as breathing. She loves to while away the precious hours at the computer, writing about the love and laughter that every woman deserves in her life. If she had her way, she would spend most of her day spinning stories, but reality often intrudes. She began writing in her teens, and on 1989 her first book was published while she was in her mid-20s and single. She is the best-selling author of more than two dozen historical and contemporary romantic fiction novels. With more than 1.5 million copies in print. She is eternally grateful to her critique group for their technical advice and support and those "retreats with the girls" that help to keep her sane.
She also credits her critique group with finding her husband and consequently approving of their marriage. They live near their four-generation operated farm in northern Utah with their three children, an over-protective dog, a burr-laden cat, and a miniature goat who thinks she’s a puppy. Her life is busy some times crazy but she is also dedicated to the pursuit of power shopping (when funds permit) and finding the perfect piece of chocolate.

Desperado (Taggart Brothers, #1) di Lisa Bingham
Cute!
The third installment in Lisa Bingham's captivating Taggart Brothers series, Maverick is a charming romance between a rough and tumble cowboy and a feisty yet cautious young woman. While this latest release can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend the entire series.
Bodey Taggart is an extremely competitive cowboy who is always up for any challenge or adventure that comes his way. He is easygoing, laidback and very popular with the ladies, but lately, his life feels a little empty. Sidelined due to a couple of very serious injuries, Bodey is taking the Hell on Wheels competition very seriously when he meets Beth Tivoli. The lovely and spirited young woman is NOTHING like the women he usually dates, so he is very surprised by his attraction to her. When his patented moves fail to win her over, Bodey is taken a little off guard, but he refuses to give up on getting her to go out with him. Realizing very quickly that his feelings for Beth are different than anything he has experienced in the past, Bodey is quite introspective as he reflects on the path his life has taken since the tragic accident that killed his parents and younger sister years earlier. Finally understanding the reasons for his reckless choices and empty romances, Bodey is determined to do whatever it takes to keep Beth in his life.
With plenty of complications already in her life, Beth's unexpected attraction to Bodey is more than just an unwanted distraction. Letting him get close to her is a risk she cannot afford to take but he somehow manages to slip past her formidable defenses despite her efforts to hold him at arm's length. Beth has an enormous responsibility resting on her shoulders and a mistake on her part could have dire consequences for the people who are depending on her. Used to handling her problems on her own, she finds it very difficult to trust anyone and despite Bodey's best efforts to get to know her, she cannot take him into her confidence. Despite her reservations, Beth cannot resist giving in to her desire for the charismatic, fun-loving cowboy. However when her past catches up with her, she has no choice but to reveal her secrets to Bodey but once the danger has passed, dare Beth hope he will still want a relationship with her?
Like the previous novels in the Taggart Brothers series, there is a bit of an insta-love quality to the romance between Bodey and Beth. Their time together is brief but meaningful and the added element of suspense helps to accelerate their feelings for one another. The Taggart siblings and their significant others are mostly absent in this outing due to the Wyoming setting (instead of Utah). With little in the way of external distractions with characters from previous novels, the storyline mainly focuses on the developing relationship between Bodey and Beth which lends credence to their romance. A strategic guest appearance by older brother Elam does provide Bodey with a useful sounding board as he tries to sort through his confusing feelings for Beth. Elam's help is also invaluable when the situation with Beth turns violent and Bodey is even more grateful when his other brother, Jace, makes an unexpected detour to Wyoming just as the crisis with Beth turns dire. When the dust finally settles from a violent confrontation, will Beth and Bodey find a way to live happily ever after?
With an appealing cast of endearing characters, an engaging storyline and a heartwarming, sizzling hot romance, Maverick is a marvelous addition to Lisa Bingham's Taggart Brothers series. The change in setting not only keeps this newest release fresh but the time away from his family provides Bodey with the opportunity to sort through his conflicted feelings. Beth is a vibrant yet sympathetic character whose reluctance to confide in strangers is understandable. The romance between Beth and Bodey is an absolute delight to watch unfold and although they fall in love extremely fast, their connection and emotions ring true. With just a hint of suspense, this delightful novel is a riveting love story that is sure to be a hit with old and new fans of this wonderful series.… (altro)

A good read. Just enough suspense to lift it out of the ordinary, just enough sexual tension to remind me why I like sex, enough emotional baggage to add reality to the characters, and enough fun to make me smile. What more can I ask?
What a HOOT! Five stars for keeping me so amused!
I've had this little gem in my library for months and had no idea that I was missing such an adventure! Silken Promises is not the typical historical western romance. This story had it all. A street urchin transformed, romance, counterfeiters, prison breaks, undercover stings, railroad holdups and "The Beasleys." The characters were well thought out and scripted. Amelia and Alma (The Beasleys) added such a fun element to the story with their good-natured meddling.
It's a rare thing when I find a book that keeps me thoroughly entertained. I laughed out loud, developed goosebumps over Dub, and thoroughly enjoyed the plot. I couldn't help it. I fell in love with this book! There were a few typos and misplaced words, but I tend to forgive a lot when I enjoy a book this much. I could see this as a made for television movie in my head.
I haven't read this author's work before, but I'm hooked and already picked up Silken Dreams.… (altro)
