When it comes to love, it's never too late....
Life has the habit of delivering its twists at the most unexpected times.
For Bonnie, his life had been lived, and the bittersweet memories of his wife, along with the neverending sorrow of losing his son so young remain with him, but they are now ebbing away slowly with the passing of the years. His days of love, warmth, and tenderness well past and all that is left is his last few quiet years to grow old. Alone, yet content.
What he had done, he had done and what had happened, had. All that remained was to live out the rest of his life in a new place, far away from his checkered past. His days passing with the regularity that an old man desires and deserves. Until the dark day arrives that signals an impending end to his new found life, and with it, all sense of hope.
In facing mortality, Bonnie resorts to using his crusty exterior and bravado to hide the frailty and fear he feels within himself - until he is presented with stark realities beyond his understanding and is forced to come face to face with his own prejudices and beliefs.
In meeting Danny and Angeline, Bonnie begins to reshape his thoughts about his acceptance of those he had habitually admonished, and of the bigoted life he has lived. While Charlie and his daughter Beatrice realign his set concepts of how he had habitually rushed to judge people too quickly.
However, it is only when Bonnie meets Madeleine that the most unexpected eventuality turns his hard held beliefs, and his very set views about life, people, and love, on their head.

This is a heartwarming story about the end of life and the clarity that comes with age and perspective. The narrator has a nice sounding voice but there wasn't much variation in the voices he gave to the different characters. All in all, this was an alright listening experience.
This was just ok for me.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Nice, "salty" story of old curmudgeon dying of cancer, finding love (or sex) again in his final days.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Sing-song quality to the entire narration. No differentiation between narrative and dialogue. Also, transitions, such as "he said" or "she asked" were spoken with the same intensity as the dialogue itself - very irritating. Narrator also tried to assume voices, as in mimicking women's voices or a judge's voice to very poor effect. Overall, surprisingly poor. I wanted to shake the narrator to stop him in midsentence and have him repeat it "more naturally." People don't talk that way!! Far too deliberate. I understand enunciation is critical - unless it's NOT. It's a judgment call. I would give the narrator 5 stars for enunciation - but many passages require less than stellar enunciation.Was One Last Love worth the listening time?
I could not continue. The sing-song quality, and the lack of vocal variety and nuance aggravated me no end.Surprisingly poor narration from seasoned veteran
