Dancing Butterfly (Butterflies Fly Free Series) by Debra Parmley – Review by Mary Espinoza

Dancing Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dancing Butterfly is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free Series by Debra Parmley. This was the first book I have read in this series and by this author, and I was pretty impressed! I liked that I could read this book as a standalone and not be completely lost about what was going on in the series. This book gave all of the feels of the Roaring 20’s and it was pretty entertaining! The language, flappers, and all of the glam you imagine with the Roaring 20’s was included in creating the storyline. In this part of the series, we learn about this life of Suki and her time with Frank, who happens to be one of Al Capone’s right-hand men. Suki finds herself in a whirlwind romance with Frank, and she isn’t too sure what is going to come from that relationship. As the story goes on, we are given quite the insight from Suki’s point of view and what it is like to be a flapper dancer in a club. She finds herself swept away by Frank who happened to save her life after she has an accident at the club and is able to escape a shooting. Frank basically claims Suki as his woman and makes sure that he is taking care of all of her needs while she recovers from her accident. Suki finds herself in unfamiliar territory because she is not accustomed to someone taking care of her the way that Frank is. This was an excellent and pretty quick read, that gives the reader a look into what life must have been like when a gangster and flapper fall for each other. There was a fair share of danger and love at every turn. I truly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to going back to read the first book of the story and I hope that there are more books to come in this series!
