I'm a single mom to a great adult daughter, and I have a full-time job as well. I started reading m/m romancein 2008, then went to reviewing and then writing.

Some dares and prompting of friends led me to the role of author and they've always been my biggest cheerleaders.

This was my fave of the series. I adored Chaos and his puppy. He is the type of character I adore (and probably reminded me of Johann). It's that wide-eyed innocence of a sort, wondering why people pee in alleys and other weird questions, just wantin ...more

This was a writing style that doesn't really work for me so well. It's more poetic and gives you the sense of fantasy. Yet the town seems to be set in modern times but he almost lives in a fairytale like existence, just living on his farm, growing ve ...more

I had issues in the middle with this. It was a bit slow. I'm also not a fan of the quirky grandma character with no filters. I'm not a fan of that kind of character in general. That's a me thing. I'm also not a slow burn fan. All things that this boo ...more

Quotes by Tam Ames (?)

“That had been David’s motto apparently. He’d never even suggested Jeremy try S&M or B&D or LMNOP. Whatever the hell it was called. Good thing, he supposed, since while he was all about “whatever floats your boat,” he was certainly vanilla in the sex department; maybe butterscotch ripple, but definitely not rocky road”
