My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series. This story follows Suki and Frank. Suki works in a club as a flapper and Frank works for Al Capone. The club comes under fire and Suki barely escapes with the help of Frank. She is injured and will not be able to dance for weeks. Frank claims her as his own and can take care of her. This was a great glance into what life looked like during the Roaring 20’s.

This is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series, and I loved it just as much as I did the first! I know when I pick up a book from this author that I need to cancel my day because I will be completely absorbed in reading. From the very beginning, I was transported to the 1920s with scenes being perfectly set from outfits to the dialogue used. Suki is a dancer who has had her eye on a gentleman, Frank, that keeps coming to the club with his boss…Al Capone. The chemistry between them is sizzling from the moment they meet and only gets better! I read this in one sitting and loved the mafia action and romance throughout. Although this is part of a series, you can read it as a standalone with no confusion. You’ll likely circle back to grab the first anyways as this one will keep you entertained for sure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dancing Butterfly is Book Two in the Butterflies Fly Free Series. It is a historical romance set in the 1920’s and full of action, suspense, mystery, drama, intrigue, passion, dancers, gangsters, and love. The story centers around the characters of Suki and Frank and is told from each of their POV. Suki, AKA Susan, is a dancer trying to make money to pay her rent. She is strong, fiercely independent and used to only having herself to rely on when times got tough. Frank is one of Al Capone’s right-hand men that Suki finds herself attracted to, but she is uncertain what to do with that attraction. As fate would have it, Suki and Frank are thrown together when gunfire opens in the club Suki is dancing at. When she tries to escape through the underground tunnels, she becomes injured and must rely on Frank for help. With her injured foot she is unable to dance so Frank makes her his girl and vows to protect her at all costs. The chemistry between them is undeniable and Suki finds herself uncertain where their relationship is going or if they have a future together. The author did a great job of pulling me into the story with the descriptive scenes. I felt as though I was there in the 1920’s, alongside Al Capone, the gangsters, and the dancers. I could vividly see the dresses, hear gunfire, and feel the chemistry between Suki and Frank. A great read and I look forward to Book Three.

This is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free Series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. I really love these stories as the author does an amazing job of transporting the reader back in time to the 1920s.
In this story we are with Suki and Frank. Suki is a dancer and Frank is a gangster.
Suki has had her eye on Frank for a while and when the club where she works is attacked it throws her and Frank together in a way neither of them expected.
When Suki is injured escaping the conflict in the club where she works she is out of action and is worrying how she will afford her rent.
Frank offers her a solution. To play the part of his woman. But what happens when the lines between playing a part and feeling the real emotions gets blurred. What happens if she actually falls for Frank?
It isn’t all plain sailing either. Suki is an indepedent women who has struggled and always provided for herself so how will she react when Frank steps in and takes care of all her needs. Will she allow a man to take that much control from her or will she fight against it. Life as a gangsters moll is tough but will the love and need for Frank be enough to keep her there.
It was beautiful to watch this couple grow and learn to adapt to each other. The authors amazing research into the historical elements really brought this story to life.
I can’t wait to read more.

This is the second book of the series. It could be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the first one. This book was great! I love a good Roaring 20’s story. This is a story about Suki and Frank. Suki and Frank are in a whirlwind romance. She isn’t sure if the romance is going to work or not. Frank is one of Al Capone’s men. After a shooting at the club Suki works at, Frank takes care of her. Suki isn’t used to being take of the way Frank is. Frank wants Suki as his girl. Will they make their relationship work?

This is the second book in this series and I did not read the first one.

This one is easy to follow so they can be read in order or as a stand alone book and it will make sense to you. I enjoyed reading about Suki, she loves to dance and I especially liked the part that she was at the Dr. and drinking those rum drinks the way the author described it you could tell Suki was starting to have the pain of her broken ankle become bearable or she was at least at the point she didn’t care so much.

I have read other books by Debra Parmley and even though I personally like books with less heat and not in the roaring 20’s but more modern times, I did, however, enjoy this one.

Check it out, I think you will enjoy it as well.

Dancing Butterfly is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free Series and is a wonderfully written Historical Romance. Although this is the second book it can be read as a standalone. I loved everything about this Historical Romance set in 1920’s with gangsters, flappers and dancing. I can totally picture myself living in that time period. What will happen when gunmen open fire and Suki finds herself hurt and frank rescuing her more than one time. When she is offered a lifeline will she make the right choice? I loved this story and couldn’t put it down until I finished. I devoured it in one sitting. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

What a story Dancing Butterfly was! It was a really great read. I was completely captivated by what I was reading – the author really did do an amazing job with it!!!!
I absolutely loved the era for the story and because the authors writing was so detailed I could completely imagine what I was reading from the scenery to the clothing the people were wearing. I really liked Suki, I thought she was a great character! The plot for the book was really exciting and it kept a great pace so I was constantly waiting to see what was going to happen next, my interest never wavered at all.
I read this as a standalone but I would definitely like to read the first book in the series now and I. really do hope there’s more to come!

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!

3.5 Stars

 

Dancing Butterfly is the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series by Debra Parmley. It is another spicy historical romance- set in the 1920’s, with showgirls, dancing, gangsters, guns, danger, drama, angst, adventure, chemistry, sizzle, and finding love unexpectedly.
This story went in a slightly different direction than I expected, which made for a more engrossing read. I really enjoyed getting to know Suki and following all the highs and lows, challenges and achievements, along the way.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it could be read as a standalone as each instalment follows a different ‘couple’- but having said that, there are catch-ups/crossovers with characters from the first, and next book- so I really recommend reading the first book in order to get a fuller reading experience, then continue with the series.
Again, Ms. Parmley has brought the 1920’s to life, her historical details adding a very vivid and authentic feel to the story. I felt like I was transported through time.
This is a short story- so it made for a quick and easy read. I read it in one easy sitting.
Looking forward to exploring Book #3- ‘Exotic Butterfly’, which is Phylis’s story.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

This is the second book in this series. I did not read the first one and I had no problem following along. I love that each book it seems is completely able to be read as a stand alone. The way the author writes about the setting, which is the 1920’s, you feel like you are there. It is amazing, you are really able to tell the research that was put into this book to make sure that the author was able to get every minuet detail correct. What really made me want to read the book is the Capone aspect of it. The leading male character is one of his men and the leading female is a dancer. I love me a good mafia aspect of a book. However, I felt that having the book written from the “kept woman” accept is something that I haven’t gotten to experience. It really made me sit there and think about what it would have been like int he 20’s. I highly enjoyed this book and the budding romance between the main characters. I will definitely be going to read the rest of the books in this series. It is really hard to say how amazing this book is without giving anything away. Just know that this is a super quick read and was a page turning experience from beginning to end.

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, but I love that each book is written so that you can read it as a standalone book or a series. If you love the Roaring 20’s you will love reading these books, they are based on the lives of flappers and the experiences that they see in their lives. This book is all about the life of Suki, and her time with Frank, one of Al Capone’s right-hand men, and the whirlwind romance that they have. As we read along, we get to see life from Suki’s point of view where one day she is a flapper dancing in a club and the next moment she is being whisked away by Frank who has saved her life after she has an accident escaping the shooting in the club. Frank claims Suki as his woman, making her his moll, and taking care of all of her needs while she recovers from her accident. Suki is not used to being under anyone’s influence and isn’t sure how she feels about being a kept woman. This is an excellent read, allowing the reader to glimpse what the life of a gangster’s woman must have been like in the prohibition years, where danger is to be expected at every turn. I loved reading this book in the series and cannot wait to read the first and third books in the Butterflies Fly Free Series. The first one covers the life of Bethany whom we meet near the end of this book, and of Phyliss, Philip’s twin sister, both characters we also meet in this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dancing Butterfly was different. Not what I come to expect from this author. Did the story have romance and passion, sure. However it was more of a woman’s path to self discovery. The romance and passion was second fiddle and maybe not so genuine.
Who was she?
What does she want out of life?
Those kinds of questions surround the character throughout this story.
Suki was independent, at least she thought she was. Refusing to go through life like her mother depending on a man. However when she finally met and spoke with Frank that’s exactly the woman she had become. Going stir crazy due to a broken ankle being a moll to a made man wasn’t easy. It was very demanding and she lacked that independence she once craved. One trip to Miami gave her hope. Gave her the hope that she could leave the life of the moll behind.
But does she?
The author has you rooting for Suki to find her way again. However the turmoil she goes through along the way is sad, however gives the reader hope she will turn it around. It keeps you turning the page because you’re hoping on the next page she’s back.
I enjoy this author and look forward to more books in the future.

I was thrilled to get to read the second installment in this series. I greatly enjoyed the first book, so getting to read this story was fantastic! I enjoyed getting to know Suki better and it was great to see her perspective of meeting Bethany, who was the main character in the first book. Suki is a great character and her relationship with Frank was electrifying and fast paced. The author does a great job of really transporting you back into the 1920’s and immersing you in the gangster and flapper lifestyle. Suki is a dancer who gets injured during a firefight and Frank comes to her rescue and then steps in when she can’t dance and pay her bills. Unfortunately he puts a lot of restrictions on her, which as an independent woman, Suki chaffs at. The author does a great job of drawing you in and creating characters you really care about and want to see succeed. This is definitely a great series that I highly recommend! I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

She is rescued by Frank a couple of times and ends up facing a choice. Frank is offering her a life line. Will the lines blur between them? Will she be able to handle what is about to happen?

Nash is finally back from doing his duties as a Marine. He did not, however, come back the same man. Some of his scars are visible but there are many that are not. Betsy Bobbins, the local librarian, was afraid of him and his eyepatch at first but once she got to know him that quickly changed. Her sister has returned and along with her came some trouble she was having a hard time shaking. The only one Betsy could think to call for help was Nash. The narration was alright but I felt the added accent for the character was a bit much. It did make it a little harder for me to concentrate on the story itself. Overall I did enjoy the characters and the storyline.

I enjoyed listening to Check Out by Debra Parmley. The voice of the narrator was unique and made you feel like you were actually listening to someone straight from the south. She was original and it made for a nice change from your typical audiobook narrator. The story itself was such a fun read and I enjoyed Nash immensely, he was so sweet to Betsy, and I loved the fact that a lot of it took place in a library. The only thing I didn’t like was Betsy seemed a little immature and childish at first. Overall it was a well rounded enjoyable read that I’m glad I listened to. I will check out book number two as well to see where life takes her sister.

Suki eyes Frank….Frank eyes Suki. It’s an instant attraction and when Frank rescues a favorite earring of Suki’s, their fate is sealed. Almost permanently and pretty quickly. Shots are fired and Frank is pushing Suki towards the basement door. Suki injures her foot (not a good thing for anyone but especially a dancer!) and Frank has to carry her.

During her recouperation time, Frank is pretty bossy. He does work for Al Capone after all, and is used to having things go his way. Frank doesn’t want Suki going anywhere, talking to anyone, and most definitely not walking on her foot. Suki isn’t about to be told what to do by another, especially a man. Will she ever be free of his rules to be the person she is or did she sell her soul to the highest bidder?

This was an enjoyable book and was a pretty fast read for me. I am anxiously awaiting the next book as this storyline has me intrigued!

Dancing Butterfly is a historical romance and the second book in the Butterflies Fly Free series by Debra Parmley. Debra’s diversity in the genres she writes is what I enjoy when reading her stories as you don’t always know what you are getting and that is half the surprise.

Dancing Butterfly is set in the roaring 20’s a time of the harsh underworld of gangsters, flappers, dancing, and prohibition. An interesting time indeed and Debra’s passion on the subject makes for an exciting and intriguing read and takes you back and makes you feel like you are there.
SukiSuki must decide if she is willing to go along with Frank’s, an enforcer for Al Capone, offer of help and protection but being a gangster moll is not all it is made out to be. Rules and restrictions and obedience is not something Suki is good at.
I look forward to more of this harsh yet exciting world.

While Suki escapes with her life, her broken bone will prevent her from dancing for weeks. She worries about how she’s going to pay her rent when Frank offers a rather unorthodox answer. There is safety in being a gangster’s moll. No one will mess with Frank’s woman if she agrees to play the part. But… can they prevent the lines between fact and fiction from blurring?
Falling for Frank would be oh-so-easy. But the life of a moll isn’t. How will independent Suki handle being Frank’s woman? Suki is used to living in the now. Not thinking about the future or about true love, she has always lived moment to moment.

This is the first book I have listened to by this author and narrator. I enjoyed the story about a war veteran and small town librarian.

I have read a few books by Ms. Parmley, and now have listened to one.

I have been home recovering and have been reading a lot. Listening to a book was a nice change of pace and I was able to listen with fewer interruptions.

Nash was an understandably grumpy man but he didn’t give off the best first impression at least to Betsy. I got pretty annoyed with Betsy at times, there was something that grated on my already too thin nerves.

Talece Brown did a good job with the narrative and keeping me engaged with the story.

In this book, we meet Betsy, a small-town librarian and Nash, a Marine veteran. Nash has a hard time dealing with headaches and it makes him a bit grumpy, so when Betsy first meets Nash, he’s not the most pleasant individual. However, Nash realizes that he was a little too gruff with Betsy and makes it up to her by helping her out when a winter storm comes, and her car ends up with a flat tire. He offers to give her a ride home, but she’s torn because Nash is a stranger. She gives Nash a chance and realizes that he’s a much nicer man than she had originally thought, but she’s still intimidated by him. Nash had a bad experience with his ex-fiance who didn’t want a man who only had one eye and an eye patch. He’s about to give up on women in general but ends up falling for Betsy when he realizes that she is nothing like his ex, and is in fact, exactly what he’s looking for in a woman. Then Betsy’s sister comes along and makes things difficult with her drama. Will Betsy and Nash end up together, or will the drama her sister brings tear them apart before they can even begin a relationship?
