Capturing Peace by Molly McAdams ~ Blog Tour & Review


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?


First, let me say, this says 'novella' but I have read novels that were shorter.  I know that some people have a hard time purchasing novellas because they're short so I wanted to put that out there.  No, it's not as long as a normal Molly McAdams novel, but at 145 pages, not including bonus content, it's still a pretty healthy sized book.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a masochist.  I love to read Molly McAdams' books because I know that she will rip my heart out and stomp on it.  However when I heard this was a novella, and the first in a series I thought my heart was probably safe.  WRONG!!  Although the manner in which my heart was ripped out was a little different (and maybe worse) it still was.

The prologue of this book had me in tears and it just kept up from there.  There were happy tears, sad tears, pissed off tears.  So damn many tears.  Once I started this book I was completely hooked, like I said masochist.  I was so sad for Reagan that I had to know that she would get everything that she deserved and more.  She made a ridiculously hard decision and stuck with it, regardless of the consequences.  I loved her for it.

Coen, God, Coen.  What can I even say about him.  He was so wonderful, even when his own head was a complete mess.  Yes, he screwed up because he's human and that's the nature of the beast.  But, once he had a little time and perspective he went above and beyond to fix what he had broken.  He was more than anyone could have hoped for and everything that Reagan deserved.

Capturing Peace is one of those books that, while completely heart breaking in places, was able to show that there is still some hope for humanity.  That there are still people out there who do the right thing and love with everything that they have.  It was a beautiful story and sent a beautiful message about not judging others and letting people surprise you by being more than you ever thought anyone could be.



        


Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
