Meg's Review:

First of all, have you seen that cover? It's extremely fitting for this novel & I Love the colors! Now onto the story that is EVEN BETTER! Right? I know, Molly wrote is so we know it will be great, but I really loved how "Real" this novel was. Cohen and Reagan's story is a great one. There weren't any crazy billionaires, kidnappings, bombs, or gang threats. This was a story about two real people finding love. This was also a story that had you giggling at some points. I need that. Real life has giggles. Cohen was no BS with Reagan. He was straightforward and sometimes very blunt. Blunt was Exactly what Reagan needed.

"...With the ---- you're spouting off, swear to God I would think you're the most vain person I've ever met if I didn't know any better..."

Now Reagan. Her life hasn't exactly been easy, but she has dealt. She took the life that was handed to her and made it work for everyone involved. I got her. She drove me a little crazy, but every decision she made I understood. She is the kind of heroine you either love or don't.

"It was then that I started falling for him. And though that terrified me, I knew I wouldn't try to stop myself from this."

A Last Note: Writing about PTSD is a task all on it's own. Doing it well? Not many authors really get it. Molly did. PTSD can be different for everyone, but the way Cohen battles his is all too realistic. This novel's title is perfect. It is a journey to Capturing Peace in more ways than one. You will see when you read it. Trust me. I recommend this for those of you who love an uncomplicated romance. This is a #MustRead #CapturingPeace

Synopsis:

Coen Steele has spent the last five years serving his country. Now that he's back, he's finally ready to leave behind the chaos of the battlefield and pursue his lifelong dream. What he wasn't expecting was the feisty sister of one of his battle buddies—who has made it obvious that she wants nothing to do with him—to intrigue him in a way no woman has before.

Reagan Hudson's life changed in the blink of an eye six years ago when she found out she was pregnant and on her own. Since then, Reagan has vowed never to let another man into her life so that no one can walk out on her, or her son, again. But the more she runs into her brother's hot and mysterious friend, the more he sparks something in her that she promised herself she wouldn't feel again.

Can two people with everything to lose allow themselves to finally capture the love they both deserve?
