Trapping the Butterfly
by Debra Parmley
Genre: 1920's Historical Romance
Bethany is celebrating her eighteenth birthday in Hot Springs. If her aunt and uncle have their way she will return engaged. Her life has been controlled, from the clothes she wears to the food she eats. She longs to be like other girls and bob her hair, raise her hemline, and learn to do the Charleston, but first she has to break free from the aunt and uncle who have kept her--and her inheritance--very close.
Paul Tollick chased butterflies when he was young. Now he chases gangsters. A detective whose job plunges him into the harsh underworld of gangsters, bootleggers, and fast women, he is captivated by the sight of innocent Bethany, sitting in the park surrounded by butterflies. But two other men have determined to catch her and one is a dangerous gangster who is part of Al Capone's gang. Will Bethany exit her cocoon, find strength and fly free or be trapped?

*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review*
This was a sweet romance. I loved the different time era. Gangsters, molls and more! I felt that the ending was rushed. It just boom, was all over. But the story leading up to it was a wonderful tale. I enjoyed the slight suspense, the innocence of Bethany. Paul, the protector. This is a wonderful short story, quick read.
