So, if you've been following along lately, you might be thinking that this looks a bit like the books I used to read. And you'd be right. Here's what happened. I had a fiction book all set up on my Kindle in pdf form, but when I opened it, there was an error. I hopped off the treadmill and sent the book to my Kindle again. Got back on the treadmill and had the same thing happen. At that point, I was already walking, and I had no idea how to fix the issue. This book had (barely) been started, so I decided maybe it was time for me to actually finish it.
Meg has taken her father's place as photographer on a scouting mission for the Army trying to find a way across the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately for her, the man in charge is the same one she rejected five years ago. Ben isn't just looking for a way across the canyon, he's also trying to find out what happened to his father.
I had a soft spot for Ben. Meg was a something of a sweetie most of the time, but she treated Ben pretty badly. She didn't explain to him why she rejected him, so he feels that he did something wrong. Even now, as he's seeing how well they work together, she doesn't just tell him what holds her back. It's an irritating thing to witness. How many women wouldn't be married today if they'd let the prospect of a disapproving mother-in-law stop them?
It's been a while since I've read a book like this, but I would place this in the okay section. Nothing super exciting happened to the main characters (minus one thing, but more dire things were happening to the rest of the team), and the "mystery" didn't feel like it had any urgency to it. Add in the weird way the villain was handled, and it was just okay to me.
