Saving the Bellydancer (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 3) by Debra Parmley – Review by M Policicchio

Saving the Bellydancer by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good, solid story. In this addition to the series, the author makes the Seal, Cutter, realize that finding someone that of value isn’t just about the other person. It is also about finding value in and valuing yourself.

Cutter knows that he is not ready to settle down, especially with the women he dates. Since the one broke his heart, casual is all Cutter wants. After several of his SEAL teammates find and marry women who understand that loving a SEAL isn’t easy and are willing to work at it, Cutter finds himself wondering if there could be someone out there for him.

Zarifah, her belly dancing name, realizes that her fiance is not who she thinks he is. Her now ex-fiance isn’t willing to let Zarifah go. Zarifah realizes that she never really knew him other than the face he presented and that he never wanted to know her more than the dancer persona, which is only part of who she is. As Zarifah makes positive steps away from that relationship, the ex is an ever-present dark cloud threatening her sunny skies.

The author gives Zarifah a guardian angel in Cutter. Cutter teaches Zarifah to use her pepper spray and be aware of her surroundings. Cutter helps Zarifah realize that the right one will see all that she is and enjoy all aspects of who she is. Zarifah teaches Cutter that the right one does exist. This is a cute story that has strong, positive themes built in. Solid performer in the series. Good read!
