The last promise 
I never got this book. I am still researching if I paid for it or not. I also received an email for another used book that I ordered and did not get saying that I would receive a $4.00 refund. Never got it either. Not a fan.

Great Romance Novel 
This is the first Richard Paul Evans book I have read and I loved it. I am not a big romance book person but I could not put it down and have read it three times in the past year. You can actually feel the pain the Eliana is going through. It also has good morals and makes you think about your own life, love life or not.

A Tender Love Story to Capture Your Heart
Richard Paul Evans' novel, "The Last Promise" is a wonderful compilation of beautifully described places in Italy that brings the Italian culture to the forefront of his story. While he shares the topography and landscape of the area he weaves it all around a wonderful love story of such gentleness and tenderness it will bring tears. He teases the reader with gentle touches of suspense so that you keep turning those pages. I couldn't put the book down until I read the resolution. If you like romance and tender love, you must read Richard's book, "The Last Promise".

A romantic read 
THE LAST PROMISE by Richard Paul Evans
Rating: 4/5 stars
March 26, 2008
THE LAST PROMISE is the story of two people that meet and fall in love in the Italian countryside. Eliana is an American woman who marries an Italian man and moves with him back to his native Italy to help manage the family vineyard. While their courtship was wonderful, now that they are married he is rarely home, as he says he's traveling for business. Their son, a highly asthmatic child, Alessio, stays with Eliana while her husband is away. It is fate that brings her together with another American, Ross Story, who is now living in Italy for reasons not immediately made known to the reader. All we know is that he's decided to get away from America to start a new life in Italy. The place he chooses to stay is a room on the vineyard where Eliana lives.
The two are attracted to each other right away, and then Eliana tells Ross she is married. They strike up a friendship and the attraction is apparent to them as well as to others who watch them together. But they keep the friendship platonic, because she has made it clear that she is married and has no intentions of leaving her husband, despite how unhappy she is. But, despite what she says, it is inevitable that one day they may cross that fine line. Would she risk losing her son for the love of another man and her happiness?
I've read a number of books by Richard Paul Evans and I think this was my favorite so far. I loved the Italian backdrop, and I also think Evans did a good job with the characters. They felt like real characters to me, and not just fictional flat characters placed in a story. I'm definitely recommending this book to those who enjoy reading love stories.
