Chasing Redemption (Quimby Grove #2)Chasing Redemption by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one grabs you right from the get go and I read this entire book in one sitting!!

We get reacquainted with Max, who we met in Finding Starlight. I’m excited that he is featured in this story while still learning more about Beckett and Ellawyn. Max is on the beach playing his music and a drop dead gorgeous woman with a bottle of wine saunters his way. Marley is over it. She’s not only been the maid of honor but also the wedding coordinator for her ex-boyfriend. What a drag!

Before they know it, Max and Marley are all tangled up on the beach in a one night stand. They don’t know each other’s names, where they live, or anything about the other. They part ways and don’t think they’ll ever see each other again but neither of them forget the other.

Marley is back in Quimby Grove when she sees him and he sees her. She’s working so she’s not able to talk to him right away but when she finally does, she has news for him. He’s a dad.

Max realizes his life just took a MAJOR turn and he’s hoping it’s one for the better. Can he be a good dad to Jax and Izzy? What about a supportive significant other to Marley?

Life throws all kinds of curveballs as there are several different crimes being committed all of a sudden in Quimby Cove. The subject of the crime? Marley…but she’s innocent in it all.

I enjoyed this book but would have enjoyed it much more without all the unnecessary language. It was a bit excessive. The story in itself was intriguing and I look forward to hearing about Avery and Keenan!!

This is the second book in this series and it is just as addictive as the first. I enjoyed the playfulness of the characters and the strong storyline. These two main characters have such a connection it was wonderful to watch them navigate their togetherness and lives. I was kept on the edge of my seat once the suspense started.

I enjoyed this one immensely and look forward to more from this author and in this series. This has a nice flow, suspense and many happy times.

Saving the Bellydancer (Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII Book 3)Saving the Bellydancer by Debra Parmley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

 

3 Stars

Saving the Bellydancer is the third book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series by Debra Parmley. It is an interesting military romantic suspense with SEALs, intrigue, danger, tension, chemistry, sizzle, emotion, action, belly dancing, protective Alpha-type hero, and drama.
This is another novella length story which makes it a very quick, and easy read. And as I have mentioned with some of Ms. Parmley’s other books, though this story is complete, and an interesting read, I would have liked to have read a longer, more detailed, and ‘meatier’ version of the story… because who doesn’t want to spend a longer time between the covers with a hot and hunky SEAL?
That being said, I thought it was an interesting read and am curious to see what comes next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cutter is a Navy Seal who is happy to have quick flings with strippers or women who understand he does not want anything serious. As he sees his other Seal brother start to get married and have children he wonders if he will ever find someone to have that kind of relationship with.

Zarifah is a bellydancer and not the stripping kind pretending to be. She takes dance seriously even though it is for fun. She teaches gymnastics to kids as she was once a child training for the Olympics.

Weeks before Cutter and Zarifah met they both had made a huge decision in their lives. Cutter was going to look for a high valued woman and Zarifah never wanted to see her ex fiance again after he beat her up.

Read this story to find what happens next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet by her. One of the things I enjoy about this author is her ability to pull me into her stories with ease. They are romance mixed with some suspense and just hard to put down. This book is no different. It is a fast paced, well written story about a bellydancer, her ex and a Navy Seal. They each bring something different to the story which makes it entertaining to read. I enjoyed the suspense aspect of this story as well. There is great chemistry and growth throughout the story. I enjoyed how the characters made me feel as if I was part of the story. For me, they brought the story to life and just added so much to the story. I really enjoyed this story and I think you will as well. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This book just starts out running! It is full of vicious mafia feels and good grungy situations. We are met with Salvatore and Adrianna. As is typical with most mafia books there are many what ifs and who is responsible for that. This one doesn’t disappoint at all. I truly enjoy reading from this author.

Saving the Belly Dancer
By: Debra Parmley

I love this book! It was such a fast read with a beautiful love story. I loved Cutter and Zarifah. The way that Cutter worked to prove to Zarifah that all men are not the same. He made it his mission to prove to her how a woman should be treated. I loved Zarifah and definitely understood why she was not ready for a relationship with anyone. Cutter made her see that the right one is worth taking a chance on. I have to say that the Green Brotherhood books have been amazing so far and I cannot wait to read more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense story which had me hooked from start to finish. Navy SEAL Tony “Cutter” Cuttino seems to have a thing for strippers, much to his Grandma’s annoyance, but Cutter says that it’s all about their grace and athleticism for him. However, until American belly dancer and ex competitive gymnast Zarifah comes along no woman has held his attention. Zarifah, or Edith, is running away from an abusive ex who is in prison for turning violent when she wouldn’t give up her dancing. Neither Cutter or Zarifah can ignore the sizzling chemistry between them, and Zarifah loves how supportive Cutter is of her belly dancing. Even Cutter’s Grandma is keen to meet Zarifah. Things turn deadly when her ex storms one of her performances with a loaded weapon, but luckily not only is there a Navy SEAL in the building, but one who will do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves. This is a heartwarming romance with plenty of drama and suspense to keep you gripped throughout. The chemistry between the main characters came across in the narrative, and I also loved Cutter’s Grandma’s character. An entertaining read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chasing Redemption is the second installment in the Quimby Grove series and it did not disappoint. It was full of steam, drama, romance, a bit of mystery, and thrills. What started out as a one night stand turned into the family that neither Marley nor Max new they needed. It’s a story about finding your soul mate in unexpected places, a story of reuniting and well redemption. It’ll make you smile, and if you’re a softy like me tear up. It’ll have you appreciating the wonderful people in your life. I highly recommend this series to everyone. While it is a series this story can be read alone and you’d still be able to follow everything. I cannot wait for the next one!

Loved this story! It might be shorter but it is mighty! It encompasses a full story of the main characters including back flashes. I got the feelings and emotions of not only the main characters but the secondary as well. I liked them all and am curious about some of their stories as well.

This is the first book I have read in this series. I was easily drawn in by the way this story was presented. Witty banter and that hold your breath attraction make this one: Thoroughly enjoyable!

Who does not love a good SEAL Team hotty read! I couldn’t wait to start on this book in the series. The only issue I have with these books are that the stories are far too short. Debra take pity on me and fill me up with more.
There is so much to love with the suspense and action, fierce passion and emotions and determination of a protector SEAL man who goes after what he wants. Oo la la.
What happens when a belly dancer and a SEAL meet? You will have to read it to find out. No spoilers here.
I you love sexy, strong, heroic men then grab copies of the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII series as they have it all. I cannot wait for the next book. It’s so hard to choose who my best book boyfriend from these men is. Choices, choices……

Great story. I really like how the author centers this book around abuse, Zarifah banding together with her group of friends who have her back, and her fighting back and not putting up with the abuse. I feel like there was too much in the beginning about Tony and the strippers he sleeps with and not enough about the relationship between Zarifah and Hassan. Of course I loved how the Navy Seal who had given up on love and relationships falls head over heels for the main character and is willing to do anything to keep her safe.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just love a good love story between the brother’s best friend and the little sister. One thing I really enjoyed was right off the bat they are together – there was no build-up – no angst – until there was. It starts off with a hidden relationship between Kasper and Krysta. Krysta was 19 and Kasper was a couple of years older and completely in love. However, as most of these books go it is a secret, but then Krysta becomes pregnant. Kasper didn’t have a great upbringing and never thought he would make a good parent and completely dropped the ball. They broke up and Krysta was destroyed. Six years later, Krysta and Kasper have a love-hate relationship because her brother is still best friends with him and her brother and Kasper work together. However, Krysta has “moved on” with her life and is engaged to be married, but the feelings are not the same for that man. Krysta is also getting over a trauma where her fiance is not the most supportive person. As the story progresses, both Krysta and Kasper realize that their feelings have never really changes and Kasper is now ready to make her officially his. That may take some work since she “hates” him so much, but slowly she starts to let him in. Can they get back what they had lost? Will Krysta’s brother be okay with that? Can you come back from such heartache?
There is a lot that happens in this story, I just didn’t want to give too much away. However, I really enjoyed the story, the banter, the characters. Krysta is a sassy, smart, independent woman just trying to figure things out. Kasper is a badboy-type playboy, but it really is a cover-up for the love he never lost for Krysta. Now that he is growing up, a little, he wants her back. He is loveable, jealous type, but also goes after what he wants. He teases her a lot which was intriguing and sexy. The chemistry both have coming off the page was great. While I have never read anything else from this author, I will most likely be going back and reading the first 2 books!

This is a prequel to the Hawke Family books. Warning- it is a very steamy book…wow! We meet Issac, who has just graduated from law school and will join the family business in New Orleans and the beautiful red head named “Jack.” They meet up at a bar and go spend two nights in the throws of steamy escapades… they are both sad to leave each other in the end. If you like books with lots of sex and action, this book is for you. While this type of genre is not my go to read, I kind of want to read on in the series to see how their relationship grows.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a bittersweet story of second-chance romance. Tony, aka Cutter, finally really he wants to date a high-value woman. He finds that in Zarifah, aka Edith Smith. She is a belly dancer and gymnastics teacher. They both have issues from previous relationships. The attraction is there. The question is, can they work through this and be the couple they want to be? The story is sweet and romantic. It does have a topic of domestic abuse. We get to see both characters grow. Cutter grows up right before your eyes. The plot could have used a dash more excitement. It had a few dry spots but it really is a beautiful story. I wish we could have seen more as to what happened when he took her home to meet Grandma. She is my favorite character.

This book was a fantastic read. This book is really well written and has character development.

This book follows the story of Kasper and Krysta. Kasper is an ex-cop who is now working at a company with his closest friends. He grew up spending most of his time with his friends and they are now his family. Among those friends is Krysta, his best friend’s little sister.

Years before coming back into each other’s lives they had a secret relationship. What happens when new factors make it hard to keep the secret? WIll this cause a friendship to be ruined? Can you forgive someone who left you all alone in your greatest time of need?

Read this book to see how a great group of friends can be more of a family than blood relatives. Also, find out if Kasper and Krysta can keep their past in the past or if it comes to haunt them. One of the best, brother’s best friends books.

I found this to be a very enjoyable read, it had a likable group of characters, some very steamy moments and some suspense and excitement. My only complaint is I finished it too quickly! This is the first book of this series I have read however I will be going back to read the first 2 volumes in the series.

Chasing Redemption (Quimby Grove #2)Chasing Redemption by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! After reading book 2 Chasing Redemption I love it even more. This author knows how to pull at one’s heartstrings the right way, and to add in just enough drama/fear to keep you on the edge of your seat. One becomes invested in these characters based on how they’re written. I will also say this, though it’s a series this book very well works as a standalone novel.
Max and Marley have both been through their fair share of misery in life. Maybe that’s why they are drawn to one another. Though they never expected that one night would lead to a world more. That they would still crave and what the other. Problem they don’t know who the other person is.
Max never thought he’d see her again, besides hoping otherwise. But there she was, by Ellie’s side on her big day. Little did he know that not only was she walking back into his life, but an instant family as well. Unfortunately someone was out to hurt/scare Marley and Max couldn’t have that.
One truly becomes invested in these characters. You get mad for them, sad for them, you feel happy for them. The author makes you feel like you know these characters personally by the words used on the page. I look forward to more potential books in this seires.

Wow!! Where does one start? You should know that this ends on a big ol’honkin’ cliffhanger! But it is so worth it. The chemistry between “Nolan” and Jack is straight up dripping off every page. They bring the heat and the steam. I can only imagine what it will be like when these two meet in some future boardroom or courtroom and the action between them is just as hot as the “action” between them. Can everyone see my eyebrows going up and down when I say that? Since this is just the beginning, I know that this series is going to be a helluva ride! Can’t wait!!

Holy Cow!! I wasn’t sure about this one but I took a chance and wasn’t disappointed. If you are unsure after the first chapter, keep reading. The first little bit really sets up the nonstop action and intrigue for the rest of the book. One might need a character list to keep track of all the people and nicknames but even if you lose track of who some of the peripheral characters are, focus on the main characters!! The ride is phenomenal. If deceit, love, hate, revenge, sexual tension, unrequited love, action, biological warfare, steam, money, honor, and family don’t do it for you, then don’t worry. We will just keep this secret all to ourselves. When you get to the point where you are saying, “How much more can one person take,” just know there is more. Take a chance. Jump right in!!

I was so excited to go back to Quimby Grove so we could see how Max’s story played out and it did not disappoint! We get to meet Marley, the one who got away that fateful night on the beach, who runs into Max and shocks him with a surprise, they had twins. It was so wonderful getting to watch Max and Marley grow as a couple and find their footing together as they navigated uncharted waters as a family. Luckily we had Ellawyn and Beckett, from the first story, to pop in and lend a hand as needed. As always, the residents of Quimby Grove not only have matters of the heart to deal with, but a suspenseful mystery to deal with as well. The author did an amazing job with the flow of the story, while keeping the reader on high alert as to who the bad guy was. Numerous times I found myself internally yelling at the characters, this is who is doing all the horrible stuff, only to have another twist thrown at me. The final conclusion completely threw me for a loop! If you like steamy heartwarming romance with a dash of suspense, the Quimby Grove books are for you! I read the first book, but I think you could read this one as a standalone.
