My Best Mistake: Tasha’s Story by Carole Wolfe
My Best Series #1

Money doesn’t buy you love or happiness or much else...not really...and Tasha Gerome is probably someone that would echo that sentiment. Raising her children with a deadbeat conman ex-husband is eased a bit by the help her ex-brother-in-law, her sister Sara and her mother Helene provide. She smiles and looks on the bright side but there are times that probably seem more difficult than others and one of those is when Doug the deadbeat returns to town. She knows she can handle him but what a pain in the patoot to have to do so!

This book has twins that could not be more opposite, a mother more keen to marry her daughters off than just about anything else, an ex-brother-in-law with a secret of his own and a whole lot more going on. There was humor, heart, family and community that were there for Tasha.

What I liked:
* Tasha’s can-do attitude, her ability to face down difficulties whether at her children’s school or with her husband and her willingness to put herself out there again on the dating scene (with a push from her mother)
* The look into a life that I have never experienced and how someone might go about moving on and dealing with the issues faced
* Brad & Carleton
* Sara – do hope she finds a guy to date and a life for herself beyond work
* Tasha’s parents – though her mom can be a bit pushy
* The potential for the future

What I did not like:
* Doug the deadbeat ex-husband – he deserved worse than he got but sometimes that happens

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in the series? I think so
What would I like to see next? Sara’s story

Thank you to BOTBS and the author for the copy to read and review – this is my honest review.
