From a Distance by Tamara Alexander

Post by pretzelsnow »

From a Distance a book by Tamera Alexander is adventurous romance novel placed in the Rocky Mountains in the time of the Western Expansion.Elizabeth Westbrook, a sick young photographer, decided to move West so she can take breath-taking pictures to get a position in the Washington Chronicles.
She climbs rocks and trees the first day that she is there and takes a lot of pictures. When she sees just the perfect picture of an elk a man comes out and shoots it dead. This man turns out to be Daniel Ranslett, a skilled hunter, who had been following this elk for three days to spare it from more pain. Elizabeth drops the plate with the picture, shattering it. They then make a deal that Daniel will guide Elizabeth on a one day hiking trip that will include taking pictures.
In the meanwhile Elizabeth meets the Tuckers, a family with a lot of kids that Daniel is friends with. She has some nice surprises like that of eating squirrels for dinner. She decided that she wants to go on a long journey in the Rockies. Daniel agrees to be her guide.
She embarks on a perilous with Josiah, her slave servant, and Daniel as her tour guide. It is March but still very snowy in the mountains. After that two catastrophes happen. When they set up camp a couple weeks later each of them describe how they survived an eventful battle in the Civil War a couple years before.
I rate this book three out of four stars. The book content was very skillfully described and presented. The author presents us a clear picture of the problems and secrets in each of the character’s life. The only thing that I didn’t like, which was very personal opinion, is that this book didn’t really hold a lot of the essence of romance in it. It had a lot of adventure but not that much romance. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone.
