“I totally loved this book. Keta Diablo really outdid herself. This is a historical, paranormal and romance. It is very well written and I’m certain will please a very wide reading audience.” I give this book 5 stars.” Book Eternity Reviews

”I absolutely loved this story. It paints a rich and vivid picture of the Dog Soldiers and their way of life, fitting this history into the story in such a way you learn a lot about the Dog Soldiers without being lectured. I really liked how Diablo doesn't try to turn the Cheyenne into 'noble savages' as sometimes happens in romance, but how she writes them with both their good and bad sides, making them more real and recognizable this way.” 5 Stars
“A fantastic book. The author did a lot of research into the history and the culture of the Dog Soldiers. The book is full of action, romance, and I felt the character's emotions throughout the story. The way time travel was incorporated in the story was believable and worked very well with the storyline.A page-turner I could not put it down.” FIVE STARS Books R Us

”Through the lives of these three people, Diablo spins a vivid account of how grueling and sometimes brutal the life of a Dog Soldier could be. I loved how she wove the rituals and beliefs of the Cheyenne people throughout the tale as if you were there seeing it first hand. This is a historical romance sure to magically sweep you back in time. A must read!” Paranormal Romance Reviews – 5 Stars!

”An understanding of the culture of these wonderful people who fought to preserve their life style will be found in the pages of Where the Rain is Made. Keta Diablo takes us into the legends and lore of a people who lost so much more than lives long ago along the Platte River. Where the Rain is Made is a tale that is rich in history, emotions and love. Kudos to Ms. Diablo for penning such an impassioned story”. E-Cata Romance – 4.5 Stars”

”Diablo’s Where The Rain Is Made is a must-read for anyone interested in native history and anyone looking for a nice, deep romance that never gets too heavy despite some intense moments of fighting for survival. I rarely enjoy time travels but this one is thoroughly believable. My recommended list. I will be looking for other books by this author.” Classical Romance Reviews – 4.5 Stars

”What a wonderfully written historical. The amazing attention to detail really made the story Pop! Filled with heart stopping characters, a riveting plot and a love that spans time, this 1 will remain on my shelf for years to come and revisited often.” Seriously Reviewed – 9 Stars

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story not to be missed 15 Feb 2013
By tsteiner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Welcome to the world of time travel. Hold on tight because we are going to soar into the clouds and delve into the amazing world of the People, the Cheyenne's.

Francesca Duvall had a quiet life taking care of her father and her younger brother, Marshall. All that changed in an instant the dog soldiers descended onto her home and killed her father. Now she and her brother are prisoners of savages and her only goal is to save them both or at least her brother no matter what she must do.

Ethan Gray is a man with a mission to save his People. He is devoted to their existence and to protect their way of life. He is a Wanderer, a man destined to travel through time to protect the Cheyenne. He is a modern man living in the past, sacrificing his own happiness for the good of the People. His current mission is to save his tribe from being massacred. He never anticipated finding his heart and soul in the eyes of a frightened woman.

Their love is forged on blood, pain and honor. Two people who are from different times and different worlds. Together they must protect their hearts, each other and the People. These were violent and turbulent times and this is their story.

I think this story can be considered a "lite" paranormal. He is a shapeshifter, but only when he travels through time. He seems to be semi-immortal. I got the impression that he gets to decide when he wants to die, beyond that this is a time travel historical. While Ethan is a contemporary man, most of the story takes place in the past.

Due to Ms. Diablo's storytelling I wanted to learn more of the Cheyenne and dog soldiers. She pulled me in with vivid descriptions and intense scenes. She made my heart break reading about their history and their devotion to family. I felt like I was transported back into time and was living on the plains with these great people.

Where the Rain is Made is rich in detail. You can almost see and taste the scenery with Ms. Diablo's descriptive and well written words. You are immersed into the dog soldier's world and transported into the exciting and frightening life of the People. While this is a lite paranormal read, I still considered it time well spent; time that was enjoyed and will hold a place in my heart. The People are now a part of me and I thank Ms. Diablo for sharing their rich but tragic existence with me.

Don't miss Where the Rain is Made. Action, passion and history merge together in this gripping tale. I hope that there are more stories of the Gray's adventures. I plan to be first in line to get the next installment.

A magical romance that was powerfully written. Praise to keta Diablo for creating such rich characters that you care about as if they were real! I also loved reading about American Indian history that gave me insights to their cultural past. Thoroughly enjoyed this story and was completely swept away!

4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed the Cheyenne legends and culture 14 Sep 2012
By Debra Dunbar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ethan Gray is a time traveler, sent into history by a Council of spirits to ensure the Cheyenne nation survives their struggles in the late 1800's against eradication by white soldiers. In spite of the bloodshed and loss, he longs for these missions. They are a chance for him to connect with his culture at a time when a tipi was home and dog soldiers fought a seemingly hopeless battle against a stronger foe. Ethan would always complete his missions, and then return to his modern life with a sense of satisfaction. This time is different though. This mission he's fallen in love and suddenly the needs of his people and the Council all pale in comparison with his duty to his heart.

Francesca and her younger brother, Marsh, are settlers in Colorado with their father when an Indian attack surprises their settlement. Cesca and Marsh find themselves captives of the dog soldiers, their father killed. As they fight to stay alive and adapt to a strange new life among the Cheyenne, Cesca struggles against her feelings for her captor, a man known as Meko, and risks all to help her brother escape certain death at another dog soldier's hands. As she and Meko fall in love, Cesca finds herself with another dilemma. Because the man she loves is not just Meko. He's also Ethan Gray, and he's destined to fly right out of her life once his mission is complete.

This is a great romance with both paranormal elements (time travel) and well researched historical settings and facts. I really enjoyed the Cheyenne legends and culture that filled the pages, as well as the characters. Cesca was spirited without being anachronistic for her time period, but I really loved Meko. Here was a man straddling two worlds, longing for both, torn by conflicting desires and duty. Usually it's the female in a romance that I really identify with, but in this case it was the hero my heart went out to. Although the romance resolved early on, the looming tragedy of their future carried the book forward. Beyond the stark fact that each day could bring a conflict that would end lives, was the fact that at any moment the Council could yank Meko to the future, away from Cesca forever. Well done!
