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.

The only parameters were 1) LGBT 2) holiday theme 3) a “bad boy” 4) a gift of some kind 5) less than 3000 words.

There was nothing inherently wrong with this, but it was 75% about the kids. I'm not a fan of kids in my books and this seems to be "the one true way to be a happy gay couple is to have kids" (through various surrogacy agreements). Rather stereotypic ...more

I've seen a lot about this series so thought I'd try. I enjoyed it but didn't LOVE it so am not sure I'll continue. I'm not a big fan of the whole distopia thing and also the theme of evil gov't with secret plans to do X by hurting people also seems ...more

Bit of a typical daddy fireman book but in this case the daddy is his dad's best friend who offers to let him test drive having a daddy, no strings attached... of course. I think the strings form on day 1. It's pretty daddy-lite. No spankings or puni ...more

Quotes by Tam Ames  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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”
Tam Ames, Summer School

“Never laugh at live dragons.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.”
Pablo Picasso
