Well, in my opinion, yes, the best is yet to come. *grin* I don't think my copy of Shards of Honor is out on loan at the moment - I'll try and dig it and the other Vorkosigan books up and send them your way.
If you really like the military SF part, then Shards of Honor and Barrayar should please you well enough - without spoiling it for you, Miles' mom kicks ass, takes names and generally shows that the apple didn't really fall far from the tree.
If I remember correctly, Bujold herself describes A Civil Campaign as a Regency romance set in the Vorkosiganverse. Another of her descriptions (of Memory, I think) is "Miles hits 30. Thirty hits back." In that vein, I would describe A Civil Campaign as "Miles discovers romance. Romance laughs hysterically." It's also much less milatary and much more politics. I love it anyway.
