About the book:
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?
My thoughts: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thomas Smith is just returning home to the Curry hotel, where the staff is like family and the work he does makes him feel complete. Or maybe not.
Thomas is confused when something just doesn't feel right after earning a degree in college and returning to the only home he's ever really known.
He's been training for years for the position he finally has, but that sense of belonging he used to feel just isn't there anymore.
Tayler Hale is running from a relentless man intent on marrying her for her money.
Ever since a certain tragedy, the Hale family just hasn't been the same.
Tayler has to get away. She finds solace in coming to Alaska.
And maybe, just maybe, she'll find where she belongs with the wonderful people who work at the Curry hotel.
I fell in love with Thomas in the first and second books (In the Shadow of Denali and Out of the Ashes,) and I was so excited to read his story in Under the Midnight Sun.
Tayler is a great match for him; they're both adventurous and they share the same interests.
Thomas was at first weary of having a woman in a position held usually by a man.
But the Curry hotel is modernizing every day.
Thomas is surprised to learn Tayler actually knows what she's talking about and soon comes to respect her.
Both Tayler and Thomas have been wounded in the past but neither are ready to give up hope just yet.
They find comfort in each other, but are they worth trusting?
Thomas is a gentle, sweet, caring and kind soul.
He was 17 in the 1st book, and it was amazing to watch him grow throughout the 2nd book and become the great young man he is in this book.
Tayler was also very great! I was so happy to welcome another great lady from Curry into my heart.
My only dislike about Taylor was that she had a great many accomplishments and she didn't hesitate to share them.
This story has villains you can hate and a hero and heroine you can fall in LOVE with!!
The book was hysterical, heart-warming and just all around wonderful! (a Kimberley and Tracie trademark)
I 1000% recommend this book!!
But I would also definitely read the 1st and 2nd book before the 3rd so that you can enjoy the full awesomeness and all the inside jokes I so loved.
This series will make you fall in love with God and Alaska.
I am so, so sad to see this series end, but just because all the words have been written does not mean the story has ended.
These characters will forever live in my heart and many, many others hearts.
So you see, a book never really ends, because it becomes a part of our souls.
Shadow of Denali, (the first book in the series) was the first book I'd ever read by Tracie and Kimberley. I FELL IN LOVE.
My library has tons of Tracie's books but not Kimberley's, so I rented like 5 or more of Tracie's books every 2 weeks. I devoured them, (sometimes reading one a day!)
I fell in love with amazing characters set in amazing places!
I've since had the privilege of reviewing several books for Kimberley and I've fallen in love with her beautiful, heartwarming stories as well.
Both of these women are such amazing and caring ladies; I'm honored to review for them!
This story like I expected was AMAZING!
In the Shadow of Denali is the reason I fell in love with Alaska in the first place.
Kimberley and Tracie write such amazing and vivid descriptions of the beautiful scenery found in Alaska. It makes my soul feel like I need to go there. And I will, Lord willing, one day!
Once again, I was so happy to go one last round with the great people of Curry.
I was so happy to welcome old characters back into my heart and welcome some new ones too.
I 1000% recommend this series, you can't find a better one.
