From the author of The Campaign and No Rules of Engagement...
Pamela Wright will never forgive her sister for dying in the Afghanistan war or the army for Laura's death or anyone else for making it okay for Laura to go halfway around the world to fight for reasons Pam has never fathomed. Numb with grief, she buries her sister but not her rage. Among the mourners is Trish Tomlinson, who loved Laura long ago and has found the news of Laura's death sharply painful. She remembers Pam as an unwelcome third wheel but now finds comfort in the company of the young medical resident and in the details of Laura's journal that Pam shares.
Brought together by grief, something more grows. Guilt and anger cloud their feelings and jeopardize any chance at a future. How can love blossom in the shadow of death?

** spoiler alert ** I seem to be in a minority here but I totally enjoyed this novel. I've had Last Salute on my Kindle for a couple of years but just never got around to reading it. Something about sloppy seconds had me reluctant to give it a look. I'm so glad I took the chance as I was rewarded with a well written and thought provoking look at casualties of war and the loved ones left behind by heroic warriors.Richardson has a beautiful writing style. The first 20% of the novel, as Pam and Trish come to terms with Laura's death are heartfelt and moving. It's hard not to commiserate with Pam and Trish as they deal with the loss of a beloved sister and ex-girlfriend. I was impressed at how effective the author was at conveying their loss and grief.
I was also impressed with how Richardson succeeded in convincing the reader that Trish and Pam had a chance at making their initial friendship bloom into so much more. I found their attraction magnetic and thought it was only a matter of time before Pam and Trish would work out their insecurities and reluctance towards building a life together. The trip to Afghanistan was not only an awakening and mind shift for the two protagonists, but brought understanding to the reader. A career in the military was a choice Laura made willingly. Trish was secondary to Laura's need to serve. That realization in addition to Pam's decision regarding her future career path put sold on this couple's future together.
I couldn't help but highlight some of the lovely writing.
Loc. 2868-2870 Pam to Trish: "I will never," she said, looking deeply into Trish's eyes, "want another woman the way I want you. You are the only woman I've wanted, who touches me to my very core, whose love and friendship gives my whole life meaning."
Loc. 373-3475 Trish to Pam: "I loved your sister. But it was a long time ago, and it was during a time in my life I'll never have back again. And I don't want that time back again. This is my life now. You are my life now, and this is exactly how I want it to be. It was how it was meant to be. I believe that now."
Call me a sentimental fool but I loved this love story.

Last Salute (Audible Audio Edition) Tracey Richardson Maxine Mitchell Audible Studios Books Reviews
I've read another book by this author and felt I would give this one a try. It was predictable and the long run but read it until the end. I liked Trish and I like how she was able to separate her feelings for Laura and Pam. I will continue reading more from this author.
A realistic telling of why our military doctors do what they do. Woven in with a story of love and duty.
Very touching story. Having suffered personal loss, myself, tears certainly flowed with this novel. A little quick on the falling in love theme for Trish tho. Definitely worth the read.
This was a little different from Ms. Richardson's other books. This book snagged my emotions and held my attention. This book was a romance novel, but the romance was far from the most important aspect of this book. Writing about our medical personnel in harm's way and how they do their jobs from day to day in the combative hell holes of the world. I was in tears throughout the book. Thanks for a great book!
This is a book about love and its many shapes and seasons love of family, friends, duty to country. Adolescent and puppy love, schoolgirl crushes, love from afar, love lost and found. The author sets the romance in a context of military sacrifice and what that loss means to two women who were closest to the fallen veteran. It is a beautiful and touching tale which explores so many emotions and motivations. Well worth reading!
Have you ever loved someone secretly? Have you waited for years hoping your lover would ever come back to you? A tragic loss brings two women back together to morn over the loss of a women they both loved. Why did she join the Army? Why did she stay in the Army when her time was up? Will these two ever understand the decisions she made? Can they move on? Will they ever heal from this loss? It is a great book, easy read, great story, great characters (you care about them all).
I LOVED THIS STORY. It's about coping with the loss of a loved one in Afghanistan and learning to love again. I went through half a box of Kleenex reading it. It's also about making every day count, not knowing how many days we have left. Tracy Richardson has a direct, concise writing style that gets right to the heart of the story and draws the reader right in. Wonderful book!
