Great story line that keeps the suspense going with wonderful characters!

If you love the Grand Canyon and like Historical Romance, you must read this book. Regina Scott's new series (American Wonders), is wonderful. Her characters in this novel are so well crafted you may forget you are reading a story. Each character is full of life, strong, believable and lovable, except for the one or two villains.

Being a photographer that has retired in Arizona, I totally devoured this book. I could not wait for it to come out. It was so good, I started the second one right away. I did take a break to write this review.

I don't like giving the story-line away. I will just say if you like adventure, suspense, romance, history and friendships, this book has it all. For me I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Loved it!!

I love our National Parks and thoroughly enjoyed this book about the original army survey of the Grand Canyon. Meg Pero had to have lots of spunk to follow through on her photographer father's contract to capture photographs while traveling with the survey team! Meg and Dot, the cook and wife of one of the surveyors, travel with a small group of men led by Captain Ben Coleridge. Ben has never forgotten the girl he met and proposed to at West Point! The group faces dangers on the trip searching for a way to build a road across the Grand Canyon. I recommend A Distance Too Grand to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. I look forward to the next book in the American Wonders Collection. I won my copy of the book from a Loraine Nunely giveaway. This is my honest opinion.

I always love a book that is set at on of our National Parks. This one, which is first in a new series, is set at the Grand Canyon. The expedition's public assignment is to find a way for wagons to cross the canyon. The private reason for the trip is for the group leader to find information on two missing persons: his father and the guide for his father's trip.

The Army had commissioned Meg Pero (through her deceased father) to be the official photographer for the trip. Meg first has to convince the expedition leader, Captain Ben Coleridge, to allow her to serve in her father's place. Ben, though, is the "ex" of Meg as she was scorned by his family and she felt it best to break off the relationship.

The book moved at a good pace and there was intrigue through guide Pike and camp cook Dot, with her wisdom. I enjoyed the journey to the region of the Grand Canyon. At times, you could sense the danger of being too close to the edge with the descriptions of crumbling soil and rocks falling into the canyon.

Thanks to Revell for providing me an ARC for a review in my own words.

This book takes you on an adventure, it starts out as a great experience and with a lot of beautiful sites. Then things change and some are seeing things, looking over their shoulder and soon trying to figure out what is going on. A great read and the author does a great job of letting you see things through the explorers eyes.

I received this book free from the author. I was not required to write a review but have chosen to do so sharing my hones opinion of this book.
