My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Romance, suspense and drama
This book has a bit of everything – mystery, suspense, drama and romance. I was so vested in Marcie and Ted right from the start. The writing drew me and had me on the edge of my seat, the anticipation was intense. If you love a good romance with a dose of mystery and suspense- this is one not to be missed. Recommend.

To Catch an Elf appears to be the first book in a new series- Pennsylvania Fighter Pilot– by Debra Parmley. It is a romantic suspense with drama, challenges, a creepy factor, stalking, sinister intents, agendas, secrets, dramatic developments, K9 companions, an antique elf with a story to tell, abduction, connection, and more.
This is Marcie Hayes and Ted Barrett’s story. Marcie has been hired to house sit, to look after a dog and document the activities of a strange elf for her employers to enter a Christmas competition. What happens when strange things start happening? Ted Barrett has a neighbouring home that he is looking forward to spending the holidays in for the first time. He and Macie seem to connect, but then she disappears while he is away for a family wedding. What happened? Things are not all as they seem.
I think Ted is the twin brother of Jack from ‘Montana Marine’ – which is one of the Brotherhood Protector series stories. If so, in a way, this book/series could be a bit of a spin-off to that. In ‘Montana Marine’ though, Jack’s last name is Barr- not Barrett. So that made me a little confused. But all the other factors fit, like his fiancé being Lucy, the same as Ted’s brother’s fiancé in this book…. So, I think I am right about them being twins and the connection.
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Debra Parmley!

Intriguing romantic suspense story that was hard to put down and I enjoyed the story very much. Never expecting to be creeped out by an elf, I can honestly say the story-line definitely had it share of a bit of twists and turns and had me a bit uptight to find out what happens next.
What can possibly happen while dog sitting for a customer over the holiday season…..Marcie Hayes finds out and not in the easiest of ways…..Marcie being hired to take care of Ginger, a King Charles Spaniel, while her owner, Beverly is out of town during the holiday. Marcie did not realize that not only dog sitting she was tasked with but also in the means of an antique elf. While Marcie is not familiar with the Pocono Mountain surroundings, she meets friendly neighbor, Ted Barrett and their attraction hits immediately. While Ted and Marcie get to know each other better…you never know who is watching…..until Marcie is missing.
Will Ted be there when she needs him the most? Definitely read and find out. I dont want to give an spoilers away…but I love the suspense in this story. It had me on edge….

This was a fun, intriguing read full of lots of twists and turns. Let’s not forget that there is a creepy elf that must be photographed daily too! The deeper into the story you get, the more intriguing and harder it is to put it down. There’s enough romance (a little steamy too!) and a lot of mystery to keep your eyes pealed into this read!

This book really isn’t what I was expecting when I started reading it. Honestly, it took me a little while to get into the story but I did connect with the characters quite easily. Marcie and Ted were interesting to read about and I wanted to get to know them both more.
Once I had warmed to the story I did find myself enjoying it. The romance was the focus point for me and it was made a bit more exciting with the action towards the end of the story. This was an overall enjoyable book.

To Catch an Elf: Pennsylvania Fighter Pilot is a story that is filled with action, intense suspense, excitement, a lot of weirdness and passion just to name a few.
The story is well written and is intriguing and will have you engaged and on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Debra’s descriptive writing is easily imagined and draws you in to the chaos. You will find yourself all hot and bothered and on the edge of your seat in suspense.
It was supposed to be an easy gig. House sit and dog watch, oh and one creepy elf. But let’s not forget the stage instructions that have to be followed. I hate creepy dolls. Marcie finds strange things happening and now she is in a situation she can’t get out of and only hopes that her connection to Ted will be enough for him to try to find her.
Confused Ted make is way home, only what he finds is not what he was expecting. Who has her and why?
To find out the mystery of the elf you should add this book to your TBR list.
If you love sexy, strong, heroic men then grab a copy.
I cannot wait for the next book.

This book was amazing. It took twists and turns that I didn’t think could happen in a holiday story. It is intense. To start, I already think that elves are a little creepy but this book makes them even more creepy in my mind. I kept turning the pages to see what was going to happen. I couldn’t decided which character I liked more or which one was going on my can’t stand list. The author writes the story in a way that not only makes it flow but also makes you more and more intrigued. Soon you will find yourself trying to figure out what the next move is going to be and almost makes you feel like a detective from your seat. While all this drama is going on there is a sweet, sweet love story going on. You will feel yourself being pulled in different directions, rooting for love, talking to the book because of what is happening, and swooning over just some really cute moments. I highly recommend this book because not only did I not expect what happened to happen but it kept me engaged the whole story and I wasn’t able to put it down. It was a quick read for those reasons.
