Memorial Day Throwback Review–THE LAST LETTER by Rebecca Yarros

Published by beckymmoe on 05/26/2025

Yes, I’ve already posted this review here (just over 6 years ago). But it’s Memorial Day, and IMHO the perfect time to revisit my favorite Rebecca Yarros book (no, I haven’t read The Fourth Wing books…yet.

She only attracts money- and position-hungry rogues because she’s the daughter of a wealthy duke. Then her friend’s dashingly irrepressible brother, Evan Price, is injured showing…
