I thought this was such a fun summer read! It was fascinating to go
back in time to when our National Parks were new and to imagine what it
would have been like to tour one in your brand new Model A. The Road to Paradise is
set in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington and although I've
never visited the park, it was lovely to read about the beautiful
scenery and the grandeur of the mountain.
The author, Karen
Barnett, does a wonderful job with character development. I loved each
of the main characters and loved to hate the villain. The story is
completely clean and not cloyingly sweet. The main character, Margaret
(Margie) Lane is especially interesting. A young socialite, she loves
nature and longs to spend time at the park studying botany. She was
raised in the lap of luxury, but is ready to set that aside and get her
hands dirty. After a donation from her wealthy father, Margie secures a
position at the Park as a naturalist. She soon meets Ranger Ford
Brayden and romance blossoms. I won't give any more away, but there are
all sorts of obstacles to their romance, including the aforementioned
villain.
If you're looking for a something good to read and enjoy Christian historical romance, then I
definitely recommend this book. I'm hoping it will be a series about
different characters in different National Parks. Karen Barnett is a
new author to me, but I will surely check out her other work. I received
this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
