Check Out Audiobook (The Bobbins Sisters Series) by Debra Parmley – Review by Kayla Octaviano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve read this story before, so it was very exciting to listen to it come to life aloud. Love the characters, love the story line! The narrator had a bit of an odd accent that took a little time to understand, but it ended up being adorable as the story went along.

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.

Four Stars

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. The sister with trouble following her makes it more interesting. I liked how the story flowed. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. The narrator did a good job bringing the characters to life.

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?

What a wonderful story. Could this moody wounded soldier and fearful librarian come together? This story showed that challenges could be overcome and not to judge a book by its cover. I really enjoyed seeing this relationship develop. They overcame a lot. She worked through her fears to be come more confident and he learned to let another in. The narration was done well. I always wish for a male voice to do the the male. However, this narration was quite enjoyable. It’s an experience I do recommend.

This is my first audio book by this author which I enjoyed listening to.  I look forward to picking up another by this author.   It is a story that is full of mystery, action and even a little romance.   I enjoyed how the narrator  brought the story to life with the different tones for characters.  They made it easy to listen to and I wanted to keep listening.  This is Nash and Betsy’s story.  Neither one was expecting the other but what destiny has in store for them you don’t want to miss.  I enjoyed this audio and I think you will too.  I highly recommend this audiobook.

Who ever said that Librarians were quiet and reserved, lied! Betsy has a strong love for books, and she knows her library quite well. While she is quiet, that only lasts long enough to get what she needs done. She has no time for romance and just wants to be left alone. She is really strong and independent and proves that in this story. Nash is grumpy, suffering from PTSD and weary of those around him. He is ugly according to his ex and not good enough for her. He does not want people to see him or care for him, he too has no desire to start a romance.  While he truly is grumpy, seeing Betsy calms him. Not only that but he feels protective of her. Stop! No spoilers here! These two characters are perfect for this story. You can’t help falling for them. The author has once again impressed me with her writing style as well as her eye for detail. I loved listening to this story and look forward to reading and listening to more from her. This is a must read story.

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!

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.

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. Betsy has closed up and is heading out into the snow and for her car, but when Nash shows up to help her, she is afraid of the man, but accepts his kindness and help, especially when she tries to drive off and realises that she has a flat tyre, Nash offers her a lift home and so she calls her friend to let her know what is happening as she loads her things into his Jeep. He does exactly as he says he will and makes sure she is safe all the while and even offers to take her to get her car sorted the next day, Betsy declines, but she does swap numbers before he leaves.

As the days pass, Betsy and Nash cannot stop thinking about the other and so asks her out, but things don’t go quite to plan as Betsy has her sister visiting and cannot make it, but the next time he goes to see her at the library, he meets her sister and then overhears their conversation of their evening plans and he thinks this would be a good idea of somewhere to go with his friends, but when he sees the sisters getting into a spot of bother, he comes to Betsy’s rescue again, she is more than thankful and her sister is too, however, the side she sees of Nash scares her into thinking that maybe this is a bad idea. The next day after work, when she confronts her sister about what happened the night before, her sister opens up about why she has come to visit and Betsy is worried about her. Meanwhile, Nash is thinking of ways in which he can convince Betsy that she is the girl for him, however, things never seem to go to plan and the drama that Betsy’s little sister keep bringing is starting to worry Nash and it makes him think of the thing his ex-fiancé said and did and how he doesn’t want that kind of attitude around him anymore, but things happen and wires become crossed and nothing is smooth sailing for a while.

As time goes on and Nash and Betsy try to get to know one another more, more and more drama appears and it looks like nothing is going to stop it, but Nash being the gentleman he is steps up and offers to help out in any way he can, but will the drama stop this couple from making an attempt at a love which could become a future, or will barriers and obstacles keep getting in the way of happiness? This is a sweet romance with a touch of adventure and suspense weaved throughout which will keep you hooked and wanting to know more right up until the end.

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.

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.

Check Out by Debra Parmley is the first book in the Bobbins Sisters Series. This is a great book that really has a little bit of everything in it. My first impression though was the instant connection the main characters seem to have. Right from their first meeting you could feel it. And every interaction from then the chemistry sizzled between them.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and from the description I expected just another typical marine returned home story but what the author gave us was much more than that. The story was really well developed and thought out. It had a depth to it that you don’t always find in these type of romance books which for me made it stand out. I thought this was a really strong start to a new series and a brilliant way to be introduced to a new author.

Betsy Bobbins is adorable from the word go. She is a petite, bespectacled, librarian who is on the shy side. She is the oldest of three sisters, and has taken on the parent mantle since their folks died. Betsy is dazzled by the brooding stranger that entered the library late on the night of a big storm. She is lucky that he was still in the parking lot when she tried to leave for home because she would have never made it on the flat tire she discovers.

Nash Ware, a Marine veteran, is recovering from his time in the service and his fiance walking out on him. When he enters the library his eye is drawn to the librarian at the checkout counter. Yet, he growls at her for no reason. Nash finds his protective instincts coming out when he is around Betsy. These instincts only get stronger when Betsy’s youngest sister comes to town, bringing all her drama to Betsy’s door.

Debra Parmley writes tender military stories from the perspective of veteran’s wife. The gentle, yet informed, way Debra handles PTSD and fighting through the VA system shows her dedication to honoring those that have and are serving in the US military. Debra writes characters that are relatable and human. This was a sweet read with some intrigue!
