REVIEWS: "This story is very heavy, but beautifully written. The author D.L. Rogers has definitely done her history research. As an absolute history buff, and my husband a southern boy, completely interested in the Civil War, we have thoroughly studied this War, and its reasons for occurring, Ms. Rogers is right-on in her research. Being a first generation American, and growing up on the west coast, the Civil War was not in much of my education, but Ms. Rogers has beautifully and accurately done her research intricately weaving it throughout this entire story. It is unconscionable to me what people do to each other in times of war, the Civil War included. The experiences that Ben and Sarah face, the people they come against whether Indians or soldiers, and the horrible things one group of people did to another group all because they thought their side was right is so sad, and vividly depicted in this story. This a lovely story, good triumphs over numerous evils, but ends up very strong in the end. If you love American history, this story is a must read!!" Reviewed by Desiree of Enchanting Reviews, 4 ENCHANTMENTS “What
a wonderful story of life with its trials and tribulations. Life
at this time was hard for everyone. Ben and Sarah are strong people
and a powerhouse couple. Emma and Caleb are also huge part of
this story. Tomorrows Promise is captivating and never without
action flowing thru the pages. This is the first of a trilogy
by Ms. Rogers and this reader is anxiously awaiting the next book.”

Excerpt: Suddenly, there she was. Her fingers wrapped in her skirt in anticipation. He breathed in relief, but was still unwilling to admit he cared whether she had waited for him or not. He smiled and Sarah smiled back when he rode up beside her. She seemed glad to see him. He sat in the saddle and stared. She shifted under his scrutiny. He wanted to speak, but couldn't. He wanted to touch her, but didn't dare. Silence enveloped them like a bubble. The leather in his saddle groaned when he dismounted to stand a foot in front of her. Her chest rose and fell with each breath and her blue eyes sparkled with hope. He could reach out and touch her, if only he dared. He stepped toward her and his hand was on her cheek. She stood rigid, but relaxed as his hand slid along her neck. Her eyes closed and a sigh escaped her lips. She opened her eyes and Ben saw hope flicker again. Could he give her what she so desperately needed and wanted? A return to the way things had been? To the feelings theyĠd shared of total trust and devotion? He pulled away as those thoughts tumbled through his brain. His body betrayed him. He had to have her. HeĠd thought too long about their reunion. Without words he led her to her quarters. He tethered his mount and entered the cabin with Sarah close behind. The door closed and he turned to face her. She opened her mouth to speak, but Ben silenced her with a hungry, passionate kiss. He ravaged her mouth while Sarah seemed helpless to deny him. With each stroke of his tongue, she responded in kind, flaming his desires higher. His lips seared a path along her neck and she sighed as his hands worked at the buttons of her dress. She was limp in his arms. He grew impatient, tore at the material to expose her creamy-white skin. Her chemise fell away in pieces as lust shook him, his breathing akin to panting. In a few quick motions he shed his own clothing and the two lay on top of the tiny bed. Her fingers twined through his long, scraggly hair and she pulled him closer. Her body melded to his. This was Sarah, he told himself. His Sarah. The woman he had loved more than life itself and she was his again. His mouth feasted on her breasts and neck while his hands sought every inch of her body. His mind remembered every touch and feel of her. He was on fire and only she could extinguish the flames. |

Author BIO: The daughter of a northern mother and southern father, Diane has always loved Civil War history. With a cousin whose parents’ backgrounds were reversed, “Yebels” became our moniker for each other. Also, being (a small) part Indian kept her interested in all things Native American. More often than not, Diane was found playing cowboys and Indians rather than Barbies, like most little girls do. Her love of reading started early, with Nancy Drew as her favorite. As she got older, horses replaced Nancy and they were eventually replaced with historicals and romances. Diane lives about sixty miles south of Kansas City on fourteen acres of land with her husband, Dave, five horses, two dogs and three cats. She has two grown children, Eric and Kristen, of whom she’s very proud, a terrific “almost” son-in-law, Ryan, and a wonderful grandson, “little” Ryan. When Diane’s not working or writing, she can be found riding her horses or dancing to a raucous country beat…or just enjoying a beautiful sunset from her back porch. Diane would love to hear from you with comments. If you’d like to contact her, please do so at www.myspace.com/rogers_ghostdancers. |
