Note from the Author

I’m so excited for the conclusion of my American Wonders series! I have always loved the wonder and majesty of our national parks, in part because my father introduced me to them. He would have been tickled with A View Most Glorious, set on Mt. Rainier, because that was his mountain. We hiked or camped on it nearly every weekend when I was growing up, and I live 45 minutes from the gates of the national park today. In celebration of the release of this third volume, I’m delighted to offer this prize pack, with each of the books in the series in paperback, a collection of nine vintage-style postcards from the parks featured (the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Mt. Rainier), and a poster that speaks to the heart of the story: The best view comes after the hardest climb. May all your views be glorious!

A View Most Glorious

(American Wonders Collection #3)

By Regina Scott

Christian Historical Romance

Paperback, E-book & Audiobook, 368 Pages

October 5, 2021 by Revell

Reluctant socialite Coraline Baxter longs to live a life of significance and leave her mark on the world. When her local suffragette group asks her to climb Mount Rainier to raise awareness of their cause, she jumps at the chance, even though she has absolutely no climbing experience. If she can do it, any woman can do it. And after her mother issues an ultimatum--that Cora marry the man of her mother's choosing if she is not successful--Cora must do it. But she can't do it alone.

Noted mountain guide Nathan Hardee initially refuses to help Cora, but has a change of heart when he sees what is at stake. He knows enough about the man Cora's mother has chosen to know that the headstrong young woman should have nothing to do with him, much less marry him.

Climbing Rainier will require all of Cora's fortitude and will lead her and Nathan to rediscover their faith in God and humanity. These two loners make unlikely partners in righting a wrong and may just discover that only together is the view most glorious.

Book Review: 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. 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.


My Thoughts:

A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott is the first installment in the American Wonders Collection. With the Grand Canyon as the novel’s main setting, the smooth prose created stunning imagery. Meg’s occupation as a photographer focused the story on this place of great natural beauty and I enjoyed observing the photography processes of long ago.

A Distance Too Grand touched on themes about how parental actions affect children and working out one’s relationship with God. However, I think a deeper development of the themes and characters would have strengthened the story. Occasionally, Meg’s actions are out-of-character for the intelligent, strong, independent woman that she otherwise is. I also wondered at the lack of friction between Meg and Ben. Given their past, I had expected more emotional strain, mental struggle, and romantic tension.

A Distance Too Grand by Regina Scott will likely appeal to readers wishing for a light historical romance or those who have previously enjoyed her clean historical romances.
