Holding on to Heaven by Keta Diablo + GIVEAWAY

This review tour is hosted by: Bewitching Blog Tours
Holding on to Heaven
by: Keta Diablo
Publisher: Keta Diablo
Publishing Date: April 15, 2011
Source: Ebook provided by Bewithing Tours




Synopsis:
When the blazing fires of revolt ravage the countryside, Lauren and Sage McCain are trapped amid the flames of destiny. The Civil War has crumbled a Nation, and the Dakota Sioux uprising has turned southern Minnesota into a violent battlefield.

Holding on to Heaven is a story of love between two men and a woman, love between siblings, and love that crosses all boundaries and forges all cultures.

Review:
To be honest, this was my first Keta Diablo book. I had never heard of this author before receiving an email about this tour. I can most certainly say it will NOT be my last Keta book though!

I absolutely loved it! I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book since it is an Erotic "Historical" Romance. I think I got enough history lessons in high school and I don't need any in my reading for pleasure...History was not one my best subjects. HAHA I am so glad I read this book though!

Keta did an amazing job introducing all the characters. She explains everyone so thoroughly that it's very easy to feel as though you know them.

The story is very different from anything I have recently read but definitely not in a bad way. I didn't want this book to end. It was very gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat through the entire story.



**Keta Diablo, I will be reading more of your work soon! Thank you for the wonderful story and the opportunity to review it for the tour**

I love historical fiction and though I don't think I've ever read a historical erotic, I'd definitely give it a shot. I'm particularly fond of the Civil War era.

It's my first time hearing about this author and the books sound interesting. It might be refreshing to read a book without a paranormal edge to it. Thanks for the giveaway.
