This is the final book in this wonderful series by Rose Gordon and it does not disappoint! Gray is an officer, very handsome and is thought of as a womanizer, but does not know how to really talk to, or understand women. He is caught kissing Michaela by her father and is forced to ask for Michaela’s hand in marriage. He does not talk about his past until he shares it with Micheala. Gray does not like Michaela’s father because of their past history.Michaela is at Fort Gibson to see her sister, Ella (The Officer and the Southerner) with their father. She has known Gray for a long time and has always been attracted to him. She does not want to marry unless it is for love and she knows Gray does not love her. Her father, retired General Davis, manipulates them into marriage.I enjoyed the tension between Gray and Michaela throughout the book. The trouble that Gray lands in forces both of them to examine what they are looking for in their relationship. I liked the mystery and the subplots, the twists and turns. The interplay between Michaela and her father added another layer to the story. Like all of Ms. Gordon’s books, the characters are endearing and I find myself thinking they would be great family members! The Epilogue pulled the series together with the happiness of all three couples following course. As always, I look forward to reading more from Ms. Gordon.
