Product description

From Publishers Weekly

Sex and spitefulness often give way to love in Rogers's novels (A Reckless Encounter, etc.), and this salacious Civil War romance is no exception. Like Scarlett O'Hara, Cameron Campbell is a spoiled Southern belle used to getting her way, so when Captain Jackson Logan, a handsome rogue suspected of blockade running, spurns her, she vows to hate him forever. Six years later, he returns to her family's Mississippi plantation to deliver a message to her senator father. Much to Cameron's dismay, Jackson decides to stay for a few days. While Jackson and Cameron wrestle both in and out of the sheets, Cameron's sinister brother, Grant, kills their father and seeks to auction off all of their slaves, including Taye, Cameron's freed mulatto companion. Grant is as unrealistic as villains come, and Cameron can be hard to stomach as well, particularly when she throws one of her many temper tantrums. Although Rogers is well known for her classic 1970s bodice-rippers, the forced seduction formula will be off-putting for some readers, as will her trite dialogue ("If only you would let me take you into my room, I could show you the moon, the stars...."). But the story moves at a fast clip, and some readers may hold out until the end simply to see Grant get his just deserts.

From Booklist

Cameron Campbell has led a sheltered life as the daughter of a Mississippi senator living on the family plantation, Elmwood, but now she has to try and forget her first and only love, Captain Jackson Logan. She was only 17 when he entered her life and promptly broke her heart; she is now, six years later, an improper, still unmarried southern belle when he returns to Elmwood with news of the impending Civil War. Cameron's father plans to send his daughter north, and he himself prepares to side with the Union, knowing that his son will side with the South. Captain Logan has a mysterious mission at Elmwood concerning the senator, but Cameron cannot see beyond her impression of a man who seeks fortune above all else. Logan, meanwhile, realizes that he has never forgotten Cameron, but his secret mission makes it difficult to communicate his true feelings. Rogers has filled an old-fashioned romance with modern thoughts about women, slavery, sex, and an updated version of the South. Patty Engelmann

5.0 out of 5 stars superior Americana story
Reviewed in Canada on December 19, 2002
As southern states succeed from the Union like dominos both sides of the conflict wonder what position will highly regarded Senator David Campbell take. Two presidents court the Mississippi representative, but David accepts Lincoln's offer of advisor on the war council. Before he leaves for DC, David decides to free his slaves as a symbolic gesture. Though his daughter Cameron bursts with pride over her father's courageous actions, his son Grant detests the destruction of his privileged life. In a drunken ire, he kills his father, but persuades authorities that an accident occurred.
Grant denies Cameron's insistence that their father was freeing the slaves because he intends to sell them. However, Grant fails to recognize his sister's passion for honoring her father's wishes and see the slaves to safety and freedom. She persuades Lincoln's escort envoy Jackson Logan, undercover as a merchant, to help her even though he broke her heart several years ago. As they journey together, their love flourishes while they struggle to survive one harrowing experience after another.
Most readers realize that a visit to Rosemary Rogers' neighborhood is always a sure shot for finding a powerfully enjoyable novel. Her latest tale, AN HONORABLE MAN, may be her best as this Civil War tale contains a terrific plot, a feel for the era, two delightful lead protagonists, a nasty villain, and a tremendous support cast. Fans of historical romance will gain much satisfaction with this superior Americana story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love and the Underground Railroad During the Civil War
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017

Set in the South beginning in Jackson, Mississippi in 1861, this is the story of Cameron Campbell, a sheltered Southern belle and the daughter of a respected Mississippi senator.
When her father decides to stand with the Union and move his family north, Cameron’s world changes. Her father dies in a mysterious accident and a man from her past, one she once thought never to see again, comes back into her life.

Years ago, Captain Jackson Logan walked away from Cameron. Now he hopes to win her back but he has a job to do in the war and not just the blockade running everyone’s awar of. Cam doesn’t trust him and she often does stupid things placing herself and those she loves in danger for Jackson, an honorable man to save her.

Cameron’s brother—a bitter man jealous of Cameron’s favor in the sight of their father—takes his vengeance out on the slaves their father would have freed. Grant Campbell lives a dissolute life, indulging his whims and passions and squandering the inheritance left to him. To save those closest to her, Cameron is forced to seek Jackson’s help.

Rogers delivers an emotion-filled tale but you won’t see much of the Civil War battles. You will get a sense for the risk those using the Underground Railroad took to find freedom in the North. And President Lincoln makes a cameo appearance. As for the characters, the hero is a noble sort with the charm of a rogue; the heroine is brave at times, but at others, her stupid and risky actions had me rolling my eyes. But Rogers writes well and manages to give us a good story.

This is book one in the Logan Duology. Return to Me is book 2.
