T's Review of Silken Promises by Lisa Bingham
Originally
published in 1994, Silken Promises has been given a new cover and will be
re-released in digital format on January 21st. What can I say -
other than that when it comes to a historical romance, it is the terrific writing
that makes it timeless.
I
laughed and giggled all the way from the very beginning to the very end. Fiona
and Jacob meet for the first time while he is naked and tied up and she is a
young teenager who decided to leave him that way. What happens next is ten years
of cat and mouse between these two. It’s ‘cat and mouse’ because he is a lawman
and she is the daughter of a conman, who has been raised outside the law. It’s
when Jacob needs a female partner to bring a man to justice that they meet again.
What Jacob finds is not a gangly teenager, but a smart and crafty woman that
can bring this lawman to his knees.
If
you are looking to take a break from the NA/erotica world for a bit and just
have a good old fashioned love/laugh in the old Wild West, Silken Promises is
perfect.

Adorable stars for a timeless romance
T~
In games that are as
perilous as they are passionate, everyone plays for keeps.
When Fiona McFee
first meets the straight-laced deputy Jacob Grey, he is naked and bound in a
field of foxtails. A con man’s daughter through and through, Fiona leaves him
there as he swears to never forget her. True to his word, Jacob tracks Fiona to
Chicago years later, and he has an offer for her that she can’t refuse: A full
pardon for her and her father in exchange for her help in catching a
counterfeiter. All she must do is pose as a wealthy British widow and play
poker on a tourist train heading West.
With her freedom at
stake, as well as another chance to outwit Jacob, Fiona must perfect her poker
face as she gambles for the fate of her future. But neither she, nor Jacob, can
ignore the undeniable attraction between them, and as the stakes of their deadly
game soar to new heights, the thin line between inevitable danger and
unyielding desire begins to blur.
Now both Fiona and
Jacob have more to lose than either of them bargained for— their hearts.
