Poppy
Love and war. Two words that should have little association, but to me the two go hand in hand. Both are a tragedy. They rip you open and spit you out. The war killed my husband, Connor, shattered my will to live, and took my best friend. Brandon may not have physically died in that war, but his soul did. And now we're left to pick up the wreckage. Expected to move on when all that is left is the ruins of a life we once had.
Brandon
War. It took everything from me, even myself. When you're only able to exist, death seems like a blessing. Pain...a welcome distraction. I ran from everything associated with my past, and then she found me, fighting, drowning myself in whisky, trying to forget. She reminds me of Connor, of what I've lost—what we've lost. In the midst of destruction, she's a salvation I don't deserve.
I shouldn't love him.
I shouldn't love her.
Love is a war we never should have fought.

This one, War Poppy will leave you with a severe book hang-over....War Poppy it the story of three best-friends since childhood, now adults and the aftermath of war with one surviving the actual battle of war and the other, the aftermath of what war has done to her best-friend and her now deceased husband. Brandon witness and survived the closest thing he had to a brother, Conner, die from an IUD attack while serving in the army. War Poppy focuses on Brandon's life afterwards dealing with the pain, sorrow, and guilt of PTSD while his other childhood best-friend, Poppy, tries to deal with her own demons as Conner's window. Poppy and Brandon's story is a little about a second-chance at romance but so much more. Brandon's character will make you weep. Even when he is trying to get help and deal with his PTSD, he isn't truly letting go of the horrors he has seen and the feeling of inadequacy as being the man that Poppy needs. Poppy is dealing with her own grief and is grasping at straws trying to figure how to help the man she has always loved escape his own demons. This book will make you cry but it is so moving.
War Poppy will gut you; but it is beautifully written. The characters are so multi-faceted and intense, you can't help but want to see where theirs stories take them.
STEVIE J. COLE Stevie J. Cole lives deep in the woods of Alabama with her husband and two precious daughters. She studied Epidemiology concentrating on cancer research but has always had a passion for writing. Some of her stories will strip you bare, some will give you nightmares, but the one thing she can promise is that she will always give you stories that make you feel. Raw. Gritty. Love. Because sometimes characters need to be flawed. P.S. Stevie's greatest fear is the impending zombie apocalypse. Think about it: swarming armies of decaying, oozing corpses stumbling around with clicking teeth, trying to eat your face. Nothing about that is good. NOTHING!
