A Distance Too Grand

A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott

A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott is a captivating story. Based on an 1871 exploration of the Grand Canyon and the adventure of finding a path across the expanse.

Meg Pero is following in her father's footsteps of photography. Having assisted her father on many expeditions, she is fulfilling a contract that her father had signed before his death to travel the Grand Canyon. Being a woman has the Army survey team resisting her traveling with them. But with time running out, and with no one else to take the pictures they so desperately need, she is allowed to go.

Captain Ben Coleridge finds himself facing the woman who rejected him years ago while he was still in military school. Ben is charged with a secret mission, as well as being in charge of the surveying crew.

The story is full of adventure, and romance, as Ben and Meg find themselves facing questions that plagued them years before. The secondary characters also lend interest to the overall story.

Well written with many historical  and geological facts.And I loved the dialogue as the plot moves along nicely.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
