This book has sci-fi and action. It is a military story.
Give ’em a good thrashing! Allied Forces—including the 142nd Mobile Special Ops Team, often known as Daire’s Devils—stand poised to protect the disputed colony planet Demeter against military invasion and corporate exploitation at the furthest reaches of the cosmos. When those seeking to steal the top-secret plans of AeroCom’s new prototype flagship, the Cromwell, infiltrate the ranks, Corporal Katrion Alexander, the Devils’ newest member, finds herself up against an unexpected threat: synthetic operatives indistinguishable from live people. She and the Devils must stop this new menace, but how can they do it when the opponent has a familiar face?
I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

This book was a good read, and a fun one in fact I would like to say. The book gave us engaging characters. And the author knew how to keep us as the reader interested, and our toes in fact. I loved how each event led to something new, and questions of trusting your own constantly arose. Fantastic read!
I loved how the book is about a military, which was different from past books I have read that have been more less in the sci-fi genre. I found that alone gave the plot and atmosphere a different take rather than I would expect the story to be. The group we got to read about, I would say there were so realistic to me, they defended what they had to, no matter what. They were courageous and stood for something.
Something that I also really enjoyed was the constant questioning as I briefly touched on. I found that within this group there reasons for trust issues. And made myself wonder who could be a snake and who is actually true to their word? The story kept flowing really well and I could not put it down!
Wonderful and action packed read! I loved this book and this amazing author and I do highly recommend you read this book, as well as look into works by this author. They crafted this book so perfectly as well, it was one I really had a good time reading, and I will be looking forward to read more of their work!

Kat is a badass when she finds they have been infiltrated by a force that has taken over top ranks to get to their secrets. The challenge is what happens when they are the face of the ones you know? Having been booted from her ship and running flight control, she doesn’t let anything hold her back. Written with power to grab you right from the start, you are sucked right into the story and don’t want to miss anything. Kat is such a strong character that she is very relatable. The other characters are well-written to be support players. A few glitches in plot help to give it just the right thrill, such as Commander Glei not showing up in the reflection and his fingers always plucking at something. I loved this book. Though not my usual genre, this author has gained a fan. Get out and read this one. Click that button. You’ll find it’s worth it.

Daire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is an epic military sci-fi story full of action and adventure. I know from reading this story, and the intro that came at the beginning, that Daire’s Devils is set in, and based on a RPG game and it’s ‘world’- and I definitely think this would make a great game, or even a movie/series. The author’s detailed descriptions brought this futuristic space adventure to life, and I loved all the action and adventure. The characters were really great, and it was easy to get absorbed by the story, although there were parts where the story felt rushed, or skimmed over- but overall, it was an enjoyable read. So, if you love sci-fi military adventures that take you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to join a crack squad who are tasked with defending a colony who is under threat of invasion, then this is definitely the story for you. Add in some hidden agendas, politics, espionage, and treachery…. and things get interesting. Happy Reading!

This book is a die-hard military sci-fi and is the first book in the series. The author’s words and story building made it easy to imagine what was going on. The characters are hard not to like and they find themselves in plenty of action as they face an unexpected menace. Defending the colony planet in a plot that has some interesting concepts. The stakes are high but not all the threads are woven to finality leaving the door open for the other books in the series. This story is fast paced full of action. At times it felt a little rushed, so I had to reread some things as there was a lot of information to absorb.

Fantastic world building…in space! Even though we dropped right into the action, I was able to understand all the factions, each with just enough description to let me know which side of the playing field they stood on. Our main character is tough, she hangs on no matter what. If you like a heroine that fights for what’s right, knows her worth and gives her all, this story is for you. The author weaves the storylines together seamlessly, with enough background to provide motivation, loyalty, strengths and weaknesses.. all parts that make up a fabulous adventure!

I gave this book a try because I love sci-fi and anything with space. I did struggle with it because there was too much information and I feel like it took away from the story. The story was good it was just overshadowed with all the extra bits of trying to explain things.

I thought this was quite an exciting story that certainly had a lot packed into it. There were a few times I thought the pacing of the book wasn’t quite right bit I still found myself engaging with the story and the characters. I enjoyed the premise of the whole story and there were a couple of standout characters that really made it all the better. This is an enjoyable story for any fan of this genre.

This was a really good fast paced adventure. The author does an amazing job of describing the scenes to make the world out in space seem as realistic as possible. You feel yourself caught up in the story and guessing the motives of every character you meet. It’s a story about a special ops group called Daire’s devils. They are at the far ends of space protecting the colony from invaders. It seems a straight forward job until someone trys to get their hands on a new prototype aircraft. The problem is is the enemy someone from the outside or someone within their ranks.
It becomes a guessing game trying to unravel who is behind it all and leaves you feeling throughout that story that you can’t trust anyone even the people you think you know.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of the most enjoyable ones by this author that I have read. This is a well written story where enemies could just be someone you trust. A story where a group of special ops, Diarie’s Devils, are ready to defend their colony against an invasion like no other. This is a story that is fast paced and full of action. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. This is an engaging story that was hard to put down. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

This story was out of this world. Full of emotions, past issues, lots of tears and more I found myself feeling like I was immersed in a hallmark movie. While I have read this author before I personally couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. The cover and the synopsis grabbed my attention right away. But once I delved into the story I couldn’t put it down. While our main male is a tall, handsome veteran with some PTSD issues out female is a librarian with some real family issues. But can love conqur all? You’ll have to read this book to find out for yourself.

This is a cute story. The characters all are well rounded with past traumas that lead to interesting interactions between them. Nash is a military veteran who lost an eye. His past trauma and heartache make him a character I instantly liked. Betsy is a librarian who is careful with her heart. I love the independence she shows throughout the book. The book has many eventful moments and was a cute, quick read from the start. Will definitely be keeping my eyes open for more!

Such an amazing read. You get right into it from the first page. You instantly feel the heat between Betsey and Nash. Being a total book nerd loved that these two met in a library. It’s fast paced and easy to read. You long for it to continue and are sad when it ends leaving you wanting more. This author really knows how to lure the readers in. You will not be disappointed in this book!

He is there to help Betsy especially when a situation arises with Betsy’s sister, Leann and a stalker she was dealing with at her college.

I truly enjoyed Check Out by Debra Parmley. It felt like I was treating myself to read it.
Betsy is a librarian in her local library. She has some trouble getting along with her family and struggles with her past. Nash is an injured veteran suffering from PTSD from his time in the military – he is new in town, jaded, and mysterious. They are interested in one another, but Betsy thinks it is best to wait to get to know each other better while she awaits a visit from her younger sister, Leeann. Once her sister shows up with news she may have a stalker, we find the catalyst that draws Nash and Betsy to one another.
I’d like to see where the relationship between Nash and Betsy goes, as the book ends pretty abruptly. That being said, this was a good read with characters that drew me in and kept me interested. It is pretty quick to get through, and the author has a 2nd book in the series that extends into a story with Leeann after this ends. I will continue to read Debra Parmley!

I enjoyed this contemporary romance and the storyline had me happily turning the pages. Injured Marine, Nash is suffering with PTSD and is rebuilding his life having returned home, when he meets shy librarian Betsy Bobbin. Betsy is initially intimidated by the man with the eye patch and an attitude but she’s also attracted to him. Nash has sworn off women and love after his ex-fiancé was disgusted by his scars but he is drawn to Betsy. Betsy learns more about Nash when he comes to her rescue when a flat tyre leaves her stranded, and she can’t help but feel the chemistry between them. But when he then rescues her younger sister Leann from a bar, Betsy gets scared by how angry Nash gets and the fight he has with the drunk. She wonders if it’s safe to start a relationship with a war veteran with PTSD. Nash is just as wary at putting his heart on the line again but Betsy brings out his protective instincts. The couple get closer when Betsy turns to Nash to help when her sister has a stalker, but then Leann comes between the pair. This is a heartwarming romance with a hint of suspense and great characters who are realistic and relatable. The chemistry between Nash and Betsy really comes across in the narrative and I liked the sisters relationship as well. I thought the issues surrounding PTSD were dealt with honestly and sensitively and this added to the storyline.

Betsy and Nash’s chance encounter and the possibilities for their relationship kept me coming back every time I put the book down. Debra Parmley found a way to leave me curious about how their relationship may or may not develop throughout the book. While Betsy and Nash were the main characters, Betsy’s sister played a large part in the story and I found myself questioning her character as much as Nash’s. A deeper look into the future for Betsy as well as Nash would have made the book even better, or perhaps they may resurface again in the future.

Check out a quick read that pulls you in and leaves you wanting more. Betsy Bobbin seems like she is awkward and a little bit goofy but is someone you can relate too. Nash is described as a dark, mysterious and handsome man. Nash is ex military and has so much anger inside but a softness for Betsy. Betsy is hot for Nash but is scared of his anger. Together slowly breaking open the walls each other has they realize that burn for each other. I really enjoyed this book and hope for more.

This can be read as a standalone but i would recommend reading in order as you do see characters from the previous book in here. I hope we get to see more of this town and these people, I will be first in line to read it.

Check Out (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 1) By Debra Parmley
I found this book to be entertaining. This story is full of romance, mystery, and wonderful characters. Betsy is a shy librarian that keeps her nose in books most of the time. Nash comes off as intimidating when Betsy first sees him and they don’t start off on the right foot. Betsy soon finds out he’s not as scary as she thinks, or at least she hopes because when she finds herself in a bind he is the one that comes to her rescue. Betsy’s sister comes to visit and brings trouble with her. Betsy will do anything for her sister even if it means she sacrifices her personal life. There is attraction between Nash and Betsy but can they overcome their obstacles? If you want to find out what happens between these two then this is a must read. I recommend this book.

Check Out (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 1) by Debra Parmley is a contemporary romance story
When Nash, a wounded Marine who is rebuilding his life, goes into the library where meek librarian Betsy Bobbin works, she is scared by the attractive guy with an attitude and an eye patch. However, when her car breaks down in the library parking lot as she leaves work during a winter storm, the mystery Marine rushes to her aid. When Betsy and her younger sister Leann get into difficulty at a small country-western bar with a drunk who won’t let Leann alone, he rushes to her rescue once more. Betsy, on the other hand, is terrified by the brawl outside the pub between an enraged Nash and the inebriated.
She’s fallen for the recuperating war veteran, but is it safe to fall for a man suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder? Betsy is divided between two options. Will her fear be overcome by love and faith before it’s too late? Nash has met the woman of his dreams, but his wounds are still open. His ex-fiancé was horrified by his eye patch and scars, so he created drama like honey bees. He’s sworn off ladies and their drama, focusing instead on renovating a one-hundred-year-old 2003 Harley-Davidson Road King and attending college classes. He’s captivated by the charming, quiet librarian Betsy when they meet at the library, and she triggers his protective instincts. If only her sister would cease obstructing her progress.
Betsy is surrounded by real drama as a stalker pursues her sister Leann. When Leann’s tutor pursues her, the girls realize that stalking is a serious problem on college campuses. When Leann’s college stalker arrives in town, Betsy turns to Nash once more. A Marine veteran hero with PTSD, a shy college librarian heroine, her younger, less mature sister, and a college campus stalker star in this military romance with a hint of suspense.
I loved this story and the concept of it as well. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book in the series that I have read; I cant wait to read more.

Betsy Bobbin is a librarian, she lives alone and when she is not at work, loves to curl up with a good book, or on occasion go to a movie or dinner, but she lives a quiet life and she is more than happy with it. Nash Ware is a former Marine who has been recovering from injury and moved to so that he can start afresh, but he has been having troubles and still needs to attend his appointments to try and level things out. One day while Betsy is at work, a very handsome man comes in with an eyepatch and an intense look in his other eye, she is intimidated and attracted to him all at the same time, but she cannot resist talking to him when he comes to the counter, although, she seems to say the wrong things each time, however, Nash is quite taken aback and taken with her at the same time, but he is not feeling his best and so is a little sharp with her, but when she seems to be in trouble in the parking lot after closing time comes around, he feels drawn to helping her out.

A very interesting book that provides some action with secrets involved. Who doesn’t love a little sister that somehow gets her drama right in the middle of your love life? The book followed a very smooth story line. There were two other storylines that seemed to be happening that I would have liked to see more on where they went. Secrets, books and librarians, you do have my attention.

This was a really good story. It was well written and the characters were made really realistic. The author does a great job of described PTSD in our hero Nash and how that and his past experiences impact his life. Nash is a Marine veteran. He lost his eye and wears an eye patch which makes him self conscious and worried about other impressions of him. When he meet Betsy the attraction is instant between them but both are unsure and have issues they need to deal with. Nash and his PTSD and anger issues and Betsy and her family problems. Can they work their way through their problems and get together or will their issues keep pushing them apart.

If you enjoy romance novels that have suspense, obstacles, and multifaceted characters, this is a great book for you. Nash is a retired marine who is working through his issues and attempting to return to civilian life. Betsy is a nerdy librarian who lives in books more than reality. When the two lives collide, sparks fly. However, with their own personal troubles and Betsy’s little sister Leann’s, the attempt at romance is harder than expected. My favorite thing about Check Out is it’s not just a romance novel. It has so many aspects that make it a wonderful read, men and women alike would relate and enjoy this story. Read it, you won’t regret it.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she blew my mind. I love a good military book but this story exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the Bobbin sisters series. I was hooked on the first page and I could not stop until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.
Betsy Bobbins absolutely loves her job. She has always wanted to be a librarian. Betsy is drawn to a handsome man that keeps coming in and getting books from her. She is a little nervous because he wears an eye patch over one eye. Betsy is about to go home in a very bad snow storm but just her luck her car has a flat. She is shocked that the handsome guy helps her and she finds out that his name is Nash. He was a marine that got hurt in the line of duty. Betsy is falling for this guy but she discovers he has PTSD. She knows he would never hurt her but is she strong enough to help him through it? Also Betsy’s little sister has a stalker and she has to turn to Nash for help. Will they be able to find out who it is before it’s too late?

Check Out is the first book in the Bobbins Sisters Series by Debra Parmley. It is a great contemporary romance novel which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was the first time that I have read this author’s work but I was intrigued by the blurb and decided to give it a try and I’m very glad that I made this decision. Nash Ware is a marine veteran who is disillusioned with life after his fiancee broke it off with him when he returned from war wearing an eye patch to cover a nasty eye injury. Betsy Bobbin is the local librarian who is intrigued by the handsome man in the eye patch. I loved Nash and Betsy’s story. Both are amazing characters that I really loved reading about. Their story had me gripped from the very beginning with his visit to the library which has Betsy all on edge, right up to the very end. The story is very entertaining and flows very well. Betsy is attracted to Nash but finds it hard to let him in, so the path to true love runs far from smoothly for Nash and Betsy. I’m looking forward to getting better acquainted with the other Bobbins sisters and hope we get more from Betsy and Nash in the rest of the series.
