"
BLACK DIAMOND
was not your typical page turner. Ja'Nese Dixon made this educational thriller worth the effort it took to turn the pages continuously! The intensity of her construction
to
 reach this marvelous plot was absolutely awesome, and made it a read that will not easily be forgotten. Hats off to Ja'Nese Dixon on this brilliant read that gave me a glimpse of knowledge of a diamond I never knew existed!"

Scroggins

His Mistress or God’s Daughter

 

“If you enjoy intrigue, thrills, romance, and fast-paced
storytelling
, then you owe it to yourself to check out Ja'Nese Dixon's debut novel, the romantic suspense
Black Diamond
. … There's enough spice and attraction between Camille and Marc to keep romance lovers reading, and there are definitely enough twists and turns and mystery to make the lover of action read to the end. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what Dixon brings to readers next.”

 

- Shon Bacon, author of
Death at the Double Inkwell

 

“In
Black Diamond
, author Ja'Nese Dixon
intertwines
a web of love, deception, and money, expertly developing realistic characters that her readers can visualize with ease. Black Diamond starts with action that will draw you into the story from the prologue until the last sentence of this shiesty story of cat and mouse.”

 

– Yolanda M. Johnson, author of
Circumstances

 


Black Diamond
, the story of Camille Blackwell, working undercover for the FBI to expose the underworkings of the diamond
trade
, Ja'Nese weaves us a tale of love, trust, betrayl, murder and greed - all the things that make a story good!”

 

- Nanci Arvizu of Page Readers Book Club (Scottsdale, AZ)

 

Ja'Nese Dixon's debut book is a romantic suspense and even saw it to be as a legal thriller. Camille takes us on a wild-goose chase to
unlock
the secrets and illegal acts, even murder, when taking on the case on international diamond trading.

 

- Adrienna Turner, Dream 4 More Review

 

“Ja’Nese Dixon made the characters real for me. She cleverly described each
character
so well that I felt as though I was part of the story
as
an extra. The suspense kept me wanting to read more and more. The twist in the storyline rivals that of authors who are well known for writing mystery and suspense novels.”

 

- P.
Johnson
 (Texas)

Twists
, turns, and sexual desires abound in this exciting read, will keep you on the edge of your seat until the exciting last page.”
