Just buy loads of tissues...seriously!
If you are familiar with military service you know all about the 'The Last Letter'. A letter and a promise to his best friend leads an Army serviceman, Beckett, to a family and a chance at a love that he never thought he deserved.Beckett Gentry is stunned when his Army buddy Ryan MacKenzie hands him a letter from Ryan’s sister, Ella. Having grown up in foster homes after being abandoned by his mother, Beckett is wary of attachments—until he reads Ella’s letter. Ella, a single mother, lives with her twins, Maisie and Colt, at Solitude, the resort she runs in Telluride, Colorado. Their correspondence begins, though Beckett can only identify himself by his call sign, Chaos.After Ryan’s death during a mission, Beckett travels to Telluride at his friend's request, in his last letter. He bonds with the twins and falls deeply in love with Ella. Reluctant to reveal details of Ryan’s death and risk causing her pain, Beckett chooses not to disclose that he is Chaos. When Maisie needs treatment for neuroblastoma, Beckett formally adopts the twins to support Ella and her children. As Beckett and Ella’s romance blossoms, questions are raised about the adoption, forcing Beckett to confront the truth about the letters from Chaos (AKA himself) and Ryan’s death, risking the loss of the family he loves.Beckett and Ella are sympathetic protagonists whose past experiences make them cautious about love. Beckett never knew the security of a stable home life, while Ella’s impulsive marriage to her high school boyfriend ended when he discovered she was pregnant. Their romance unfolds slowly with the letters they exchanged playing a pivotal role in their connection.Rebecca’s writing is crisp and sharp, with poetic passages that avoid being extravagant. While the love story is the book’s focus, the subplot involving Maisie’s illness is equally well-developed, and the bond between Beckett and the twins is heartfelt and sincere. His relationship with Colt already had me from the beginning and I was not prepared to have my heart ripped from my chest with that storyline. I still can't think about it with crying.I hope all the talk of tears and sadness doesn’t deter anyone from reading this story. There's an abundance of hope and laughter in The Last Letter, and while the sad parts are impactful and harsh, so is the happiness. I love that, no matter what challenges they face, neither Beckett nor Ella ever give up. Their shared experience of loss makes their determination even more heartening and reassuring.I can believe why this book made such an impactful mark and it will forever hold a very special place in my heart. It's an absolutely fantastic read—a heartbreaking yet realistic portrayal of romance, military life, and the unexpected trials life throws at you. I can't imagine a world without this story. I loved every minute of it and I am off to as many of them as I can from Rebecca because apparently, I never learn.

Bring the tissues!
This was a lovely book, endearing, sad ( oh soooo sad), gently romantic and interesting. The author has a lovely way of building out the characters as the book flows along, taking a few twists and turns along the way. A tiny bit slow in the middle then slam dunks right back in- I wouldn’t recommend reading in public !!Recommend this lovely book

Our main FMC I swear has been put through every tragedy manageable and she’s strong asf as I don’t know how she even continues in life. If you think this is going to be a fluffy romance book then you’re absolutely wrong. I loved everything about our main characters Ella, Beckett, Colt, Maisie & Havoc. If your going to read this and go in blind please be prepared to have a box of tissues to hand, each time you think everything has calmed down and your emotions are in check please prepare for another smack of tragedy 🥹😩 Rebecca I do not forgive you for what you did towards the end of this book. I am a broken woman. One of the most emotional rides I have been on and that is saying something. It’s so hard to say so much on this book without giving anything away for those who haven’t read it but yep this book is imprinted in my mind.

This book should come with tissues
I don’t even know where to begin with this review. For starters this book should have been sold with tissues, a comfort blanket and waterproof mascara. But regardless I absolutely loved Beckett and Ella’s story.The story follows Ella, a single mom to twins, who starts to write letters to her brothers best friend, Chaos (aka Beckett) who is serving in the military. Writing to Chaos becomes Ella’s escape whilst her daughter is diagnosed with Cancer. But when Ryan, Ella’s brother, dies in action his last letter is delivered to Beckett, asking him to go to Ella and look after her and the twins. Beckett turns up at Ella’s business but doesn’t tell her he’s the one she’s been writing to. What happens when not just Ella, but her kids too, start to fall for Beckett?For starters this book literally wrenched my heart out but if I could read this all over again I really would. The twins were literally so perfect in this book, the way they supported not only each other but their mum was so lovely to read. What else was nice to read? A man like Beckett. This man was literally everything. Closed off to the world apart from the woman and kids he loves. He stepped up when he didn’t have to and made life a little bit better when Ella’s seemed to be falling apart. However, my favourite character was Ella. She was so strong and picked herself up when life threw her some awful cards.Overall, this book broke me but in the best way possible. I loved every character and every aspect (okay maybe not every, but it’s all character growth) of this book. I do think there should be trigger warnings for what is included within the book as I know there are some readers who it would effect.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨Tropes included:* Military Romance* Brother’s Best Friend* Single Mum* Hidden Identity* Protective MMC
