Posted March 10, 2013 by Shannon in Author Provided / 1 Comment

Familial bonds, malevolent schemes and passion collide in this sweet historical novel. Set in Minnesota during the Civil War and the Sioux uprising, this is the story of Rory Hudson, the exquisite Irish lass with an unbreakable spirit and the enigmatic Dawson Finch, a man bound by honor, duty and loyalty.
When Dawson enlists in the army to bring peace to nation divided, Rory’s world plummets into a tailspin. War, distance and time separate them, but nothing can dispel the haunting memories of their love. Not even death can destroy their fierce passion or a love so strong it beats the odds of the impossible.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

A dissonant shout jolted Rory Hudson awake. “Indians! Indians!”

… Is all it takes for Ms. Diablo to capture your attention and once she’s got it she will not let go until you read the very last sentence. Set in the Midwest during the late 1800s, Sky Tinted Water follows young Rory Hudson as she heads West with her older sister’s family, settles in and meets the young man that truly captivates her from the first time she lays eyes on him. Theirs is love at first sight even when all they have is a glimpse of each other and no names to fall back on. When Indian raids and the Civil War threaten to disrupt their peaceful lives, Rory and Dawson do what they must to ensure their way of life is protected all the while hoping their love prevails.

Follow Rory and Dawson as their love as it grows and is strengthened by time, tragedy and even war. Beautifully written with characters you come to be emotionally invested in. Once you start reading it, you won’t be able to put it down. To call this simply a Sweet Romance is not doing it justice. If you’re not careful, Ms. Diablo will not only capture your attention, she’ll capture your heart.
