Bonnets and Bugles #10

by Gilbert Morris

The sound of gunfire has ended and wedding bells are ringing. No more fighting. No more wounded soldiers. Now it's on to the 'happily ever after.' Sarah Carter has agreed to marry Tom Majors, but just as the preparations are beginning, someone gets in the way. Dewitt Falor has other plans for Sarah. He wants her to be his bride, and he's willing to fight for her. Tom can withstand the jeers of Dewitt and his friends, but what happens when fighting words turn to flying fists? How can Tom display the qualities of Christ in such a trying situation? Join the action as Tom, Jeff, and Royal discover that a soldier sometimes needs the courage of the battlefield for everyday living even though the war has ended.

I really enjoyed reading this series!🤩 I enjoy books written during or about the civil war. I would read this series again in a second but I have so many other books to finish 😅😁

Great ending to the series! I liked how it explored the complexities of becoming one nation again and living among your neighbors, even if you were enemies.

Sad and sweet ending. My brother and I were sorry they ended.

The Civil War is one of my favorite historical eras, and I love me some childhood-best-friends-to-lovers, and that combination made young teenage me devour this series. Inconveniently, when I got to the end where my ship FINALLY officially got together, I was around other people, and I couldn't properly react and savor it. The experience has always felt incomplete. So a couple years ago, I decided to reread the series to fix that.

It's not very good. The writing isn't great, and there are bad preachy messages. I didn't really enjoy the series this time around. But tonight I got to read about my ship FINALLY officially getting together again, and I was so happy I cried. I'm glad I did this for young teenage me. She deserved to cry happy tears over her cute ship.

Overall this was a really good series. My kids and I enjoyed it. I do wish the author had kept better track of the characters’ ages. He started this book with Jeff and Leah a year younger than they were at the end of the previous book, but Eileen had aged a year just fine.
