Book Description:
It is 1886, and the government has given the US Cavalry control of Yellowstone.
For widowed hotelier Kate Tremaine, the change is a welcome one. She knows
every inch of her wilderness home like the back of her hand and wants to see it
protected from poachers and vandals.
Refused a guide by Congress, Lieutenant William Prescott must enlist Kate's aid to help him navigate the sprawling park and track down the troublemakers. But a secret from his past makes him wary of the tender feelings the capable and comely widow raises in him. As they work together to protect the park and stand firm through injustice and tragedy, they may just find that two wounded hearts can share one powerful love when God is in control.
My Review:
Nothing Short of Wondrous is
a delight to read. The Yellowstone Park setting drew me to this story. Regina
Scott's writing made me feel like I was hiking through the park and seeing all
the amazing geysers and paint pots. I
love Kate Tremaine's spunk and determination as she fights to protect her home
and the park. Her son, Danny, is a sweet boy ready to defend his beloved
buffalo. I adored the lieutenant and his story, as well as the quirky men in
his troop. The guests and staff at the hotel are interesting and add humor to
the story. As I read I craved a piece of Alberta's pie! If you enjoy historical
fiction and nature this is a perfect combination. Regina Scott is such a good
author. She presents the history with accuracy and leaves the reader satisfied.
I've enjoyed both of the American Wonders books, A Distance too Grand and Nothing
Short of Wondrous. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions
expressed in this review are completely my own.
