Publisher's Summary:

In 1885, Rose Victoria Fields lives with her parents and four sisters on Thunder Ranch in the Arizona Territory, right outside the gates of Fort Huachuca - the regimental headquarters of the US Army Fourth Cavalry.

Unlike her four sisters, who think nothing of dressing in boys' clothes while riding and working on their father's horse ranch and are known to everyone for their wild ways, Rose Victoria attempts to always present herself as a perfect lady known for her feminine graces.

It's become Rose's goal in life to become the wife of a US Army officer where, she feels, her manners and her love of volunteering and service will be of good use.

But her plan begins to come crashing down when she and her sister Lavender are helped in a desert thunderstorm by Stephen Bell, a handsome man with the manners and speech of a gentleman. She believes he must be an officer and is certain he would be an ideal man for her - until she learns that he is nothing of the kind, and indeed is only a newly enlisted private.

Rose will have to decide whether to take a chance on this good man, and becomes determined to learn the mystery of his background.

Good read. 2nd book ive read by this author

Rose isn't like her other sister's. They are comfortable wearing unfemine clothing, riding horses with the men, her desires are different she wants a military man with rank, she wants to aid where she is needed. Rose tries to show herself the lady type not tomboy. When something happens and she is rescued by a group of army men, she's attracted to one of them, thinking that he has rank she feels that maybe he's the one to fulfillment dreams. Finding out that he's just a private rank and not of the desired rank she is hoping for, does she decide that her heart knows best and take a chance on this and that it will eventually lead to what she wants in the future? I loved this book just like Sky of Wind featuring Lavender

An officer or a gentleman...

This was a nice story, but very short, and ended abruptly. I felt like if the story had to be so short, that less focus could have been spent on the sisters of the heroine. The beginning of the story focused so much on two sisters that I wasn't sure who the story was for. I also felt it should have been longer, so there could have been more connection between characters so the reader could connect, and also so the ending didn't tie up in the last sentence of the story.
