This book is very cute, and there were a lot of layers with it. Nash and Betsy Felt something the moment they met. Nash is very much the ideal book boyfriend. He is sweet, handsome, protective, and loyal. The moment he laid eyes on Betsy all those instincts came out , and a silent courtship began. Betsy was a bit harder to gage. She felt the attraction but she was very introverted and to herself. She had the feelings for him, but it took a lot more warming up for her. When her sister Leanne arrives Betsy Is a bit more free, but on the fence with Nash. There is quite a bit of cat and mouse play between them, and when he steps in to help with Leanne’s stalker it ups the ante for everything. It’s a very romantic story and there’s lots of intrigue attached to it. This read is very much worth it.

Check Out is the first book in The Bobbins Sisters series by Debra Parmley. It is an engrossing wounded warrior military romance. The story also touches on some sensitive issues, which the author handled in a compassionate, but honest way.
Nash is a wounded veteran, a former Marine who suffers from PTSD with more scars on the inside than the outside. Past experience has made him a bit prickly and closed off- feeling like he isn’t relationship material.
Betsy is the shy librarian type- who is a little intimidated by the fierce looking Veteran. But her life becomes immersed in drama- add some action and a stalker on the loose, and we get an intriguing read!
Looking forward to seeing what happens in Book #2.

Thank you, Debra Parmley!

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 (Bobbins Sisters Series Book 1) by Debra Parmley is a contemporary military romance. The story touches on PTSD and living with it myself made it easy to relate to our male MC. He is a war vet, and he is damaged both physically and mentally, but it those wounds within that scar the most. Scars from a past that tell a harrowing tale. But his are not the only scars around town. There is a sweet little Librarian who has scars of her own from the past. This story has a little bit of everything to keep the pages turning and giving you the feels
