I recently finished reading a book by an author I haven’t read before. Nothing Short of Wondrous is book two in Regina Scott’s American Wonders Collection. Kate Tremaine is a young widow living in Yellowstone National Park in 1886. The widow owns and operates a hotel in the park. I loved the vivid descriptions of the country, wildlife, and geysers in this book. It made me feel like I was there along with the heroine and hero. The story and emotions of the characters had real depth and were well thought out. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
Here’s what the back cover blurb says:
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.
