About this audiobook
Tayler Hale is ahead of her time as one of the first women naturalists. She has always loved adventure and the great outdoors, and her remote job location also helps keep her away from the clutches of the man to whom she once made a foolish promise. It seems she must keep running, however, and in secret, her boss from Yellowstone arranges for a new job . . . in Alaska. The popular Curry Hotel continues to thrive in 1929 as more visitors come to Alaska and venture into the massive national park surrounding Denali. Recent graduate Thomas Smith has returned to the hotel and the people he considers family. But when a woman naturalist comes to fill the open position and he must work with her, everything becomes complicated. The summer brings unexpected guests and trouble to Curry. With his reputation at stake, will Thomas be able to protect Tayler from the danger that follows?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Title: Under the Midnight Sun (The Heart of Alaska #3)Author: Tracie Peterson & Kimberly WoodhousePages: 336Year: 2019Publisher: BethanyMy rating: 5 out of 5 starsIn this final installation, we get to enjoy seeing some exciting new adventures for a young woman named Taylor and what comes of some of those we have wondered about from the beginning of the series. I love novels set in Alaska even though I have never been there nor studied about the state or people. I wonder if it is the various wildlife that is there or the vast spaces where no one lives. Whatever draws me to stories like this, I am grateful authors write them!Taylor is a young woman in the early 1900s who was thought to travel a certain path of expectations from both family and society. However, Taylor is a woman who longs to travel, study, grow in her faith and be free to experience the great outdoors. While working in Yellowstone Park, she loses her father and her mother charts a dangerous course that is against what her husband desired. Those who pay the price are Taylor and her brother Joshua, but there is hope that their mother will soften her heart and heal from the loss of her husband.Taylor meets Thomas who works at the Curry Hotel and what ensues is friendship and the rollercoaster ride all relationships travel, especially at the beginning. Readers who have read the other books in the series, In the Shadow of Denali and Out of the Ashes, will once again be entertained through the actions and at times antics of characters we have come to enjoy.The series draws readers into a fictional world based on some facts from history and that makes it all the more fun to read! Each book could be read as a standalone. However, the characters grow, and some new ones are introduced in book two that all come together in this final installment. If you haven’t read the books yet, please do so as they are filled with a reflection of history, faith, romance and adventure. Then, maybe share them with family or friends when you’re done so they can enjoy them as well!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was excited when Netgalley approved me to read this book. The review is not required, but given anyway.I have enjoyed every book I've read by Tracie Peterson. I have not read Kimberley Woodhouse before this. When I first started the book, I was afraid I was not going to enjoy it but kept on anyway. Well, I am so thankful I did. The story(I do not do a synopsis, you can read those when buying) is set in the 1920s in Alaska. It is Christian, but not preachy. By Christian, I mean it shows how a Christian should act and react to things in their lives. It is also part suspense/mystery and part romance. This is part of a series, but I did not read any of the previous books. It didn't seem to matter, but maybe I would have enjoyed this more if I had read others first.I did not like the ending but it would spoil the story to say why other than I felt some things could have been cleared up but were not. The editing was pretty good. It did not detract from my enjoyment at all.I like this book and give it 4 stars out of 5.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this story. I did not want to put this down. Taylor was such a rebel for these times. I loved that she was quite independent. Thomas was great also. He found a family at the hotel and learned to trust in God to help him. I loved the descriptions of Alaska. It seems like a beautiful state. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Under the Midnight Sun by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse is the final story in The Heart of Alaska series. Taylor Cole is a naturalist and guide at Yellowstone National Park. She returned home after her father passed away to console her mother, but her mother has dedicated herself to Hale Industries. Mrs. Hale does, though, continue to pressure her daughter to marry Emerson Pruitt to whom she became engaged to ten years prior. After discovering his cheating way, Taylor called off the engagement three years ago. Taylor returns to the job she loves at Yellowstone. When she gets a letter from Emerson stating he is coming to fetch her, Taylor decides it is time to disappear. With the aid of her boss, Taylor obtains a position at the Curry Hotel in Alaska Territory. Thomas Smith has recently graduated from college and returned to the place and people he loves at the Curry Hotel. With a summer full of tourists, Thomas is happy they have hired a new guide to aid Mr. Bradley and himself. They are unprepared for diminutive Taylor who is determined to prove that she can handle the job. Thomas had a bad experience in college with a young woman and it makes him leery of trusting Taylor. The summer will prove to be challenging for the people who live and work at the Curry Hotel. Thomas and Taylor will need to keep their wits about them if they are to navigate through the difficulties that lay ahead of them. Under the Midnight Sun is a complex and multifaceted novel. I thought is was well-written with a good flow. The transitions between characters is smooth. I found the story captured my attention and held it. There are multiple characters with Taylor Hale and Thomas Smith being the main focus. We do get to catch up on Colette, Margaret Johnson, Allan and Cassidy Brennan with their busy twin boys, Pastor Wilcox, and Jen-Michel and Katherine. I like that the authors featured a strong female character who has gone to college and is in an unusual profession. I recommend reading the book in The Heart of Alaska series in order. I have enjoyed watching Thomas go from a gangly and clumsy boy to a confident adult with a strong faith in God. Colette has settled into life at the Curry Hotel and finds herself attracted to Dr. Reilly. Margaret Johnson, the cook for the Curry Hotel, finds herself with two suitors much to the staff’s amusement. Can Margaret open her heart to a new love? The Christian element is strong in Under the Midnight Sun as our characters pray for guidance and seek the counsel of Pastor Wilcox. There are scripture references and discussions about faith (forgiveness, following God’s path for our life, prayer). I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Alaska (I would love to visit). I am giving Under the Midnight Sun 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). There are recipes from the Curry Hotel at the end of the book. The ending will leave you with a smile on your face (it is cute and romantic). Under the Midnight Sun is an engaging historical novel that has well-developed characters, intrigue, romance, suspense and humor.
