This week I'm featuring a really sweet historical romance that I recently finished, A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott.
About the Book
Meg Pero has been assisting her photographer father since she was big enough to carry his equipment, so when he dies she is determined to take over his profession--starting with fulfilling the contract he signed to serve on an Army survey of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1871. What she doesn't realize is that the leader of the expedition is none other than the man she once refused to marry.
Captain Ben Coleridge would like nothing more than to leave without the woman who broke his heart, but he refuses to wait even one more day to get started. This survey is a screen for another, more personal mission, one he cannot share with any member of his team.
As dangers arise from all sides, including within the survey party, Meg and Ben must work together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle a love that neither had completely left behind.

Book Beginning
"You can't be the photographer."
Friday 56
The ride to the next camp seemed endless. Meg tried not to think about the cougar, but any movement among the trees caused her muscles to stiffen.
Can you stop reading before the end of a chapter?
I can, but I don't like to. Interruptions happen, but if at all possible, I'll do my best to make it to the next chapter. Or if there's breaks in the chapter, those will usually make okay stopping places too.
What have you been reading lately?
A Distance Too Grand looks interesting, and I like the quotes.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Thanks for the visit, Sammie! Have an awesome weekend! :)
DeleteThe snippets intrigued me, especially the beginning. To start off that way, you have to wonder who the protagonist dislikes so much. :-) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI was definitely hooked with that first line. Thanks for stopping by, Freda! Happy weekend! :)
DeleteWhoa, the north rim of the Grand Canyon would have been a scary place back then. Sounds like a big adventure.
