I don’t usually like romances that are centered on situations of miscommunication – they frustrate me and I usually can’t relax enough to enjoy the story. But Donyo does a fantastic job with One Last Letter. The characters are interesting and she really brings to readers the impact of foolish choices made by the young.

Although Jesse and Evelyn have an opportunity for a second chance, their stubbornness and fear of rejection lead to more heartache. I was on the edge of my seat (even though I knew that they were going to get their happy ending) through a good portion of the book and couldn’t decide if I wanted to hug or kick them. I wanted to reach through the pages, lock them in a room together and force them to really talk. But Donyo handled it well and left me smiling.

Full of deeply felt, and long held, love combined with regret and confusion, One Last Letter is a great western romance. With a satisfyingly sweet ending, I was very glad I put aside my prejudices and gave it a chance.
