Tami Best - Writes

A cozy mystery like no other. The characters and what they’ve had to learn throughout the book was well thought out and the story was well written.  Angie is distraught when she finds Mrs. B’s room all disheveled. When the police won’t help Angie turns to the one person she can remember has a connection to the missing woman.  Penny isn’t happy to be dragged around and disrespected after what just happened with work. Will Angie alienate Penny and lose the only help she has while the clock keeps ticking after Frieda’s abduction? 

  Choo! Choo! Choo!: The Train at the Zoo by Kathleen Welton My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a cute little rendition of The Wheels on the Bus. The words are perfectly fit to that song, and are whimsical enough to keep my granddaughters both entertained throughout the entire book and for a second reading. I loved the illustrations so much. This book is well worth buying for your little ones. Great job Ms. Welton, great job. View all my reviews

  The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holy smoke Batman! If you’re ready for your panties to be on fire 🔥 then this book’s for you! And the author accomplishes most of it without penetration. I was also extremely pleased to see that there was a person that was on the spectrum in this book. And how well that person was actually laid out and their feelings and emotions were completely raw. The authors characters are absolutely endearing and heart wrenching all at the same time. I am more than pleased with this book, and cannot give it enough stars! This 10 hour book took me less than 24 hours to listen to! Does that tell you anything? View all my reviews

  The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker My rating: 4 of 5 stars What a lovely book. It showed such depth of character and how a person deals with PTSD after caring for a loved one who dies of cancer. The male MC really needed to be slapped in the head (thanks sis) for being such a dunce. I’m glad I’m the end it worked out and everyone lived HEA! I enjoyed the book being set in my neck of the woods. Thank you for that lovely surprise. View all my reviews

  The One True Me and You by Remi K. England My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a fantastic read. Every teenage person who may struggle with their place in the world and within the LGBTQ+ community in particular NEEDS to read this book!!! The author tells the tale of the struggle with your identity, coming out and being a good friend throughout this entire book so seamlessly that it seems as if the characters don’t come to life, they are already alive.

FIVE STARS! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I loved following Will and Virginia’s journey. I really disliked Will at the beginning and was so happy to be there for his journey into a man I’d love to love. Thank you Virginia for being someone I wish I could be so I could live vicariously through you. Well thought out characters, wonderful plot and a scene that had me crying (I’m over-sensitive I think). Ms. Bloom, you are my hero for providing me with a book that with characters I love, a plot I adore, and a premise I wasn’t expecting to love.  I’ve received this book in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are my own because that’s what I do. I hope everyone who reads this book loves it as much as I did.

An absolutely wonderful book about the power of the human spirit and how a woman can’t be held down by the societal “norms” of the times. I love Elizabeth Zott and the spunk that she holds and how she expects the best out of everyone and will stand up for weaker people.   Ms. Garmus, thank you for making me feel the good, the bad, and the ugly in the 1960s. I’ll never look at history the same way again. See you at Super at Six!

  A Quick Bite by Lynsay Sands My rating: 4 of 5 stars I tried to get into this more, I mean vampires…that’s my jam. But, for some reason had a hard time with the recording of this book (the narrator was not the best and the breaks were not segued very well) and the storyline was just so… dare I say, predictable? I did however like the way she described how vampires came to be. It was most likely a 3.5 for me, but I rounded up. I will end up reading book two since it's by another narrator, and we'll see if that makes a difference. And, besides, vampires... a hot doctor vampire. *sigh* View all my reviews

  Happy Place by Emily Henry My rating: 5 of 5 stars If I could have given the book 10 stars I would have. It was emotional, sexy, moving and so much more all wrapped up into one. And the thing I think I loved most about the story... the sex scenes were not crude and she didn't have to come up with 20 different ways to say what the male organ is called. She made you feel the sex scenes at a deep emotional level, not at a purely carnal level. I laughed, I cried, I was mad, I was happy, I was sad, and I fell in love. What a full day I've had. (I listened to a lot of it on a trip I made today.) View all my reviews

The Widow's Guide to Second Chances by Valerie Pepper My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think I need a paramedic! A hot sexy one named Aaron. I really don't care that Devon is the heroine of this story - I'll step in in a heartbeat! When guilt and pain hit you after the devastating news that your husband has been killed, what do you do? If you're Devon you hightail it out of there and try to run from all the pain. But when Gigi dies she's forced to return to the place she's been running from for 5 years. A couple of nosey community members, a scraggly dog, a hot paramedic, and Gigi's will are all working against Devon's goal of getting out of dodge as soon as the will's terms have been fulfilled. If you like a mixture of sweet, spicy, and downright HOT this is the book for you. I want to thank Ms. Pepper for her character portrayal of the mindset of a widow. It wasn't glossed over, made to seem trivial, and wasn't meant to be annoying and full of ...

I guess the old adage is true, no good deed goes unpunished. Quinn Chen wakes up still Quinn, but a Fairchild instead of who she thought she truly was. But upon her death and reincarnation becomes friendship, family, and a love that expands not only to the man she was forced to marry but to his land and his people.  Alexia Praks weaves a fantastical tale of new meets old, and old meets new so seamlessly that you can’t help but fall in love. The characters are created such that you can’t even help but to love the one-horned demon child. I can’t wait to see what she has to offer me next.  Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down, so be prepared.  I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.  ***** What’s a girl to do when she finds herself in a medieval-like world of magic and monsters and is forced to wed an infamous earl? Marries the hunky warrior, of course! Plus saves his citizens, feeds them delectable food, and builds a g...
