This series is well written and gets better as the series advances. My one complaint and it really is just more of observation is the amount of showers throughout the series one individual can take in any 12 to 24 hour period. I live in Florida where I'm active outdoors in the Florida heat and humidity daily and only require a small fraction of cleansing that the main protagonists do in the winter of the Scottish Highlands.

Beautiful coming out stories.
There were some minor inconsistencies with "Beginnings", but the addition of Tim/Angela created some interesting dynamics. There was drama as well as some lighthearted coming out scenes.
This was a great story, and I look forward to reading the next installment.

This is a nice story about a trans girl with all the luck.
Not going to give spoilers but it's just a nice story, Tammy is happy and well adjusted and knows who she is and what she wants. And she gets it.

enjoyable continuation of the story
Tamara’s Debut was an enjoyable continuation of the story. Tammy deals with a number of complications and threats, makes new friends, and discovers she is not the only transgender person in the area.

very nice
Very nice. Conversations were a bit stilted? Abrupt? Short? Not sure how to describe them, however, they didn’t jar you out of the story and it was engaging. Had a hard time putting it down. I really did enjoy it.

A entertaining read
Not being a first-time reader of transgender fiction I really enjoyed the author take on the subject. I found the action and suspense wel distributed true out the book. The main character can be bosy at times but doesn't distract from the story. If you like books with some excitement this is for you
