I'm reading this series and am loving it!  I loved when we are first introduced to 2LT Jack Walker in the Officer & the Bostoner.  The story reveals life at an Army outpost in Indian territory prior to the War Between the States.  Also the chances young women took becoming mail order brides; Ella wanted to belong and be loved; Jack's reasons were more material at first.  I loved when he described his location without actually lying "friendly neighbors" when someone waved & said hello.  Fortunately Allison & Wes were there to help Ella (glad Allison learned to cook);Jack & Ella learned how much they loved each other as their relationship developed.  I love the little bits of 1845 trivia like the sheath for "birth control"; the food in the dining hall and the quarters commissioned officers had.  I actually learned something as well as develop a feeling for what people really went through; they aren't much different than us  when it comes to love or deep friendships formed between buddies in Army units today (they have each others backs). diamondgirl
