Maverick by Lisa Bingham – Review & Giveaway
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM / The Book Depository
Description:
Rough riding Bodey Taggart may be rock hard and tough as nails, but even he has a soft side when the right woman comes along…
Bodey has always followed his own rules: live hard, play hard, and win big. But when his wild ways give him two concussions within a month of each other, his brothers lay down some new rules: no bronco busting, sky diving, or ATVs for the rest of summer. It seems the only pastimes not restricted are shooting competitions…and women.
Beth Tivoli is new to Bodey’s circle of friends, and unlike any woman Bodey has ever met—she isn’t about to follow him into bed. She’s not looking to hook up with anyone, especially when she’s trying to escape her past. Bodey quickly realizes that courting Beth is no game, and despite her resolve, they both begin to discover that maybe romance can be different this time around…
Review:
Maverick by Lisa Bingham is the 3rd book in her wonderful Taggart Brothers series. This book belongs to Bodey Taggart, our hero, who is very competitive in everything he does. Bodey has suffered some concussions in his previous competitions, and despite warnings from his brothers, he continues to push himself to win.
At one event, Bodey finds himself almost near collapse, with a major headache. Enter Beth Tivoli, who is helping out with sales in a tent run by some friends of Bodey. She comes to his rescue, helping him out of the sun, and giving him drinks to hydrate him. Beth is only staying in town a short time, to make some money, as she is on the run, taking care of her two younger siblings, who are staying at a cheap motel. At the death of her mother, Beth was able to get custody of her brother and sister, but the cult that her mother belonged to wants the kids. Hence, Beth is constantly moving.
Bodey finds himself interested in Beth, even if she is not the usual women he likes. Beth shows no interest in Bodey, though she is attracted to him; after all, Bodey is one hot hunk. Beth does fight her attraction, since she doesn’t plan to stay long, but Bodey constantly gives her a ride to her motel, or invites her to lunch. She accepts, so that to be able to bring home food to her siblings. This starts off as an unlikely romance, but along the way, we really want them to find a way to stay together
What follows is a nice sweet romance, with a couple that truly had nothing in common, but life has a way of changing things. Bodey begins to suspect Beth is hiding something, and is determined to help her. The story becomes exciting, as the villains that are chasing Beth and the kids, finds them. It will be Bodey, his brothers, and their friends who will step up and help Beth. Just when you begin to relax, the danger is still not over, making it even more exciting. I not only grew to love Bodey and Beth, but it was great to see many of the characters of the previous books again.
Lisa Bingham once again gives us a wonderful story that had us worried, and anxious a few times for Beth. I did think the previous story was a bit better, but I enjoyed this book very much, and have become a big fan of Lisa Bingham and this series. I suggest you start with the 1st book, and read this series.
