My Review:

 A Distance Too Grand is the first book that I have read by Regina Scott. It is fist in the American Wonders Collection.

It was interesting to see Meg Pero force her way into being a photographer with the Army in 1871.  I imagine it was not very common during that time period. She is a strong woman and good at her job.

Ben Coleridge is not thrilled when Meg forces her way, especially with their history between them. However, he does need a photographer and he knows Meg is good at her job.

I loved all the descriptions of the Grand Canyon. The author brought the story alive with her descriptions. I did not connect with the characters, they were well developed, but their was a disconnect for me. 

I would recommend A Distance Too Grand to those who enjoy historical fiction romance novels, light on the romance, heavy on the history and descriptions.

★★★/5

Synopsis (from Goodreads): 

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. He can't afford to be distracted during this survey, which is a screen for another, more personal mission, one he cannot share with any member of his team.

As dangers arise from all sides--and even from within--Meg and Ben must work together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle a love that neither had completely left behind.
