Felicia Rogers is back with yet another new release!
She's certainly been busy the last few months Diamond Mine is the first book in her Wounded
Soldiers Series, and Felicia was kind enough to share more about it.
A
beautiful country marred by violence, slavery, and illegal diamonds…
A
writer and an ex-soldier caught in the middle…
Hannah Baker is a frustrated
writer, who needs to get away. Unfortunately, with limited funds and an editor
breathing down her neck, she is stuck.
Then without warning an offer comes, one she can’t refuse.
Rory Chance is an ex-British
soldier seeking absolution. In a remote area of South Africa, he hides in a
monastery until the needs of a friend call him back into the real world.
Excerpt:
Hannah sat on a
chair, her legs curled underneath her. The long flowing skirt, which looked
like something from the seventies, was bunched in a wad. Rory sat across from
her. His attire wasn’t that much different. Tan bell-bottom pants and a light
blue shirt with a large, open collar graced his muscular body. Smooth, tanned,
well-defined skin could be seen through the open V. They both looked like
something from Saturday Night Fever.
Munching on a carrot
stick, Hannah laid down a pair of fives. They’d played every card game they
could think of and some she’d sworn Rory had made up. Boredom was their biggest
enemy. No TV, no phone, no Internet, no books, just each other.
“Explain this to me again. Why
are we waiting here?”
“Because I’ve sent word to Father
Thomas. He’ll be here any moment.”
“I don’t think he’s coming.”
Rory arched a brow. “Well, of
course, you don’t.”
“Don’t mock me.” She leaned on the table, her head rested
in her hands. “Look, we’ve been here for almost a week. If he was coming,
wouldn’t he have been here by now.”
“Maybe. But they don’t have the same system here as you
have in America. News travels slower.”
“Humph.”
“Besides, why are you rushing
things? Don’t you enjoy my company?”
Hannah squirmed. If he only
knew.
Reviewer remarks:
“Felicia
Rogers' Diamond Mine is an impulsive, adventurous tale of friendship, loyalty
and love. This exciting and fast-paced novel will leave you mooning over the
characters and yearning for more. I loved every second!” –Chamera Sampson,
author and reviewer
“A
great read! Real, likable, and relatable characters. I loved this story it was
filled with drama, suspense, and love...but there were 2 things that stood
out...the 1st was the way Felicia incorporated God into real life it
really is more about the way you act not just what you say the 2nd was
the bringing to light the real danger of human trafficking that goes on in this
world still today that as Americans we are pretty blinded to.” –Danielle
Williams, reader
