I have been a fan of Rosemary Rodgers's books for many years. I collect them, in hard copy when I can find them. I was so excited when I read "An Honorable Man", Cameron and Jackson's story. It was better than "Gone With The Wind". I loved the relationship between Cameron and her bi-racial half-sister. I do hope that Ms Rodgers will write Taye's story. I want to know what happened to her. When I read "An Honorable Man" I felt that the characters were alive. Jackson is so male! Cameron was stubborn, but had a good heart, and I knew they'd come to appreciate each other. I didn't want to see the story end, so when I received "Return to Me" as a Christmas gift from my personal hero and husband of nearly 40 years, I was delighted. Often sequels are a disappointment. "Return to Me" was fantastic, even better than the first. Ms Rogers touches the hearts of readers better than most of the newer writers. She obviously knows the south and knows southerners, something so many of those who write about the Civil War fail at. I laughed and I cried. No one who loves romance should miss "Return to Me". I hope her next book comes out soon. I intend to reread, "An Honorable Man" starting today. A Sincere Romance Reader From Maryland
Where Is the Second Book?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I loved the first Jackson/Cameron book "An Honorable Man". And I really like this book, but I feel like we missed alot with the war years. Did I miss a second book? What occured in the years before the war was over? When did Jackson first become involved with the spy lady? I just thought I missed too much. I have looked for another book, but found nothing.
deep Americana historical romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
At the beginning of the American Civil War, Jackson Logan met and married Mississippian Cameron. They relocate to the DC area, but he serves as a Union spy so is rarely home.With the war finally over, Cameron looks forward to seeing her spouse and informing him that he will soon be a father for the first time. However, though the formal hostilities ended, Secretary of State Seward, recovering from the bullet he took during the Lincoln assassination, believes otherwise. Seward assigns Jackson to end the horror of Thompson's Raiders causing death and havoc in the south. Cameron is upset that her beloved will continue to be away for extended stretches, but even more disconcerting is the debate over where to live. He wants to remain by the Chesapeake while she wants to go home to Mississippi. Unable to compromise, Cameron leaves so that her child can be born on southern soil. A worried Jackson gives chase, but may arrive too late to keep his spouse safe from terrorists including the man Seward wants him to stop.Though there is some initial confusion over when Jackson last came home, fans will appreciate this deep Americana historical romance. The story line is very powerful as the horrors of war are brought home to the audience through the innocent eyes of a stunned Cameron. Though her naivety in what Sherman and his troops did to her old south seems odd, Cameron is a steel magnolia, an essence that Jackson recognizes almost too late in the woman he cherishes above all else, even more than Seward's orders. Rosemary Roger's refreshing read will please sub-genre fans enormously.Harriet Klausner
