Undaunted Hope

Beacons of Hope, Book 3

By: Jody Hedlund

Narrated by: Becky Doughty

Tessa Taylor arrives in 1870s Upper Peninsula, Michigan, planning to serve as a new teacher to the town. Much to her dismay, however, she immediately learns that there was a mistake, that the town had requested a male teacher. Percival Updegraff, superintendent and chief mine clerk, says she can stay through winter since they won't be able to locate a new teacher before then, and Tessa can't help but say she is in his debt. Little does she know that Percival will indeed keep track of all that she owes him.

Determined to become indispensable, Tessa throws herself into teaching, and soon the children of the widowed lighthouse keeper have decided she's the right match for their grieving father. Their uncle and assistant light keeper, Alex Bjorklund, has his own feelings for Tessa. As the two brothers begin competing for her hand, Tessa increasingly feels that someone is tracking her every move, and she may not be able to escape the trap that has been laid for her.

Lacking romance

I liked this book as it had a good amount suspense. For me the romance element was lacking compared to the first 2 books in this series. There was a love triangle, I really don't like love triangles.

Undaunted Hope

Jody Hedland 3rd book with the setting of lighthouses did not disappoint,however the narrator did with her whiney voice in a negative narrative.

Loved it

Hated the "self ordained" king.This gave me the motivation to keep reading the book. I just knew that he would get his come-uppance eventually.

surprised

the end of the story was a surprise. liked the history of the period of that time . also how things were starting to change.

Awful narrator

I have to agree with the other reviews. This narrator does awful men’s voices. And her lack of interesting narrative makes the story quite dull. It ruins it honestly. The story itself is good, and I love Jody Hedlund books. But this narrator is awful
