The story revolves around an Army survey crew primarily searching for the perfect place to build a road across the immense mostly unexplored canyon. Meg Pero is a photographer who hopes to take her deceased father&#8217;s place on the crew but meets resistance because of her gender. Only because of a time crunch is she accepted to the team who just happens to be led by the very man she once rejected.<\/p>\n<p>This story is not only a tale of second chance romance (you knew that didn&#8217;t you?) but is also a riveting account of the hardships and dangers faced by the team as they traveled to the canyon and began their exploration. A steady plot and excellent characterizations made the story a joy to read. As one who has always been afraid of heights, I had to admire Meg&#8217;s sometimes daredevil attempts to get the perfect photograph.\u00a0 A bit of mystery and a thread of faith added the perfect touch.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed <strong>A Distance Too Grand<\/strong> and look forward to future novels by Regina Scott.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

What she doesn&#8217;t realize is that the leader of the expedition is none other than the man she once refused to marry.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Ben Coleridge would like nothing more than to leave without the woman who broke his heart. He can&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>As dangers arise from all sides&#8211;and even from within&#8211;Meg and Ben must work together to stay alive, fulfill their duties, and, just maybe, rekindle a love that neither had completely left behind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cdn.bakerpublishinggroup.com\/processed\/book-resources\/files\/Excerpt_9780800736392.pdf?1567611958\">Read an excerpt here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/FL4KHWaxB3E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-24916\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Regina-Scott.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Regina-Scott.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Regina-Scott-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Regina-Scott-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Regina Scott<\/b> is the author of more than 40 works of warm, witty historical romance.
