`Last Wish Blues' is one of Lubrican's best works.  At a full story length it is a well written, well thought out tale.  As with most of Lubrican's works, the proof is in the detail and it is the development of his characters that makes his stories so powerful and so enjoyable.  While the evolution of the story is spread over just a few days, something that is unusual in most of Lubrican's book length stories, the progressiveness employed ensures that the reader accepts the tale as being feasible.  For those of you love well thought out erotic romances, this book is for you.  If you are looking for a lot of sex look else where.  While `Last Wish Blues' has it, you have to read two-thirds of the book before reaching it.  It's worth it because of the quality of the writing and the excellent work that the author puts into his character development.Overall, this is a good story, and while it begins sad, it does have a happy ending.  My only problem with it was timeline, that being the time continually stated in the tale as to when Bob's wife and child had died.  At the beginning of the tale it is said to have been nine months ago.  Then Brenda is introduced to Bob a week later and they spend four days on the trail.  After that six weeks pass before Bob learns that Brenda is in remission and that she want to return to the ranch.  She arrives a week after that.  Then Bob talks to Linda, Brenda's mother and says once again that his wife and son had died nine months ago.  This should have been changed to a year ago.  In fact it should be close to the anniversary of his wife's death and that could have played a more important part in the story.  Still this is the only issue I had with the book, and from the perspective of a casual reader it is a minor one.I recommend this book.
