Summary: The Last Valentine
Review: THE LAST VALENTINE, written by James Michael Pratt is a book of faith, hope, devotion, and most of all never-ending love. A writer Neil Thomas Jr. wants to share the amazing story of the unconditional love his parents shared. Susan Allison just happens to be looking for a love story that she believes cannot exist. The story is of Lt. Neil Thomas and his wife, Caroline. Lt. Thomas must leave his wife and unborn child for war on their first anniversary, February 14, 1944. From Union Station, he gives her a long goodbye and a promise. For fifty years, on the very day they said good bye she returns to Union Station, hoping for the promise he made. On their fifith anniversary, just two days after finding out the true story of her husbands heroic death, she recieves his last valentine. The story of Neil Jr's parents gives him the hope that maybe he will be able to find a love as pure as the love his mother and father shared, and give Susan Allison the faith that there really is love that is strong enough to last through anything.
The Last Valentine was one of the best books I have ever read. At times, I would get confused when the book would continue changing from the past to the present and back to the past, I was unsure of what time era I was reading about. However, I really enjoyed how James Michael Pratt, the author, set up the reading of his book. Even though it could be confusing it allowed for me to understand the whole story. The book allowed for romance and the action of war to keep the story going and it allowed for me to feel and imagine what was happening during the whole book. I would recommend this book for people who don't mind emotional books, and who enjoy reading about romance continuing to last through the burden of World War II.

Review: This book is one of my favorites. Hopeless romantics will love this book. You will find yourself thinking about Neil and Caroline well after you have finished the book. The Last Valentine will have a permanent place in your library. Get out the tissues, put on your pajamas and get comfortable. You won't be able to put it down. My 15 year old daughter also read this book and she loved it. It is written so beautifully without the use of explicit love scenes. Their love is so powerful, you will feel it every time you turn the page.

Summary: Once upon a time....
Review: This book takes you to a place you can't ever leave. Once you finish the book - this place is still with you. You think back to it and remember the true love they had and hope you are so lucky. You can't put the book down except to grab another box of tissues. P.S. Don't read this on a plane in front of many people - you will feel silly crying infront of everyone. :) (like I did)

Summary: An Inspirational Romance
Review: This is a story of a man who is in tune with his God and his wife. He truly does love her and cannot reach her due to his station during World War II. His thoughts are continually of her and of their one year marriage before he was shipped off to the Pacific. For fifty years she waits for him to return, going to the train station and sitting on the same bench all day and watching as passengers come up the tunnel from the arriving trains. I understand this appears to be "true love" but I equate it with a wasted life. At no time was I tempted to cry for either of them. The passages of finding God during a wartime situation were real and believable, but if someone is missing in action and does not return for several years, it's time to get on with your life and not spend it pinning for a lost love. Many woman lost husbands in WWII and they didn't spend 50 years refusing to believe they were dead. When the Navy department comes to confirm his death and they see it as bringing honor and they are glad to have this duty -- what! You're going to tell someone they're husband is dead and you think that's good? Why? because 50 years have passed and there can't be any hurt? The wife had been waiting and waiting and waiting for him to return home and the Navy finally confirms his death, yet she's glad. It lost something for me.
