One Last Dance is a paranormal romance by Ernesto Patino. It's been ten years since Marco Anissi's fiancée, Susan, tragically passed away, leaving him heartbroken and lost. Sensing a few inexplicable signs, Marco tracks down the woman who received Susan's heart in an organ donor transplant. He travels to Tucson, Arizona, where he meets Julia Tinsley, a dance instructor with whom Marco feels an instant connection. However, Julia's ex-boyfriend Max wants to get back together and doesn't want Marco meddling in her life. Meanwhile, Julia's body is rejecting the new heart, and Marco is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Despite their troubles, Marco is determined to be with Julia as she battles her health issues. But at what cost? What's next in store for Marco and Julia?

Bittersweet and tinged with romance and drama, One Last Dance is a captivating tale of love, faith, and hope. The narrative has its share of mysteries that author Ernesto Patino reveals one at a time, keeping you immersed in the story until the very last page. Romance lovers will be drawn in by the plot from the first page, while the twists and turns will keep them guessing and wondering about what's happening next. The relationship dynamics were the highlight of the book for me. Marco and Julia's romance is the main draw, but I also enjoyed the interactions featuring Mike and Angela. The ending was a surprise to me. I honestly didn't see that coming. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's an engrossing novel for fans of contemporary romance.
