This is the follow up to The Tourist Trap which I read earlier this year and absolutely adored, so I was pretty excited to read this and return to Moose Springs, Alaska. We have Lana who works for a company that recently bought a lot of the businesses in town and is trying to find a way to help them out but the town wants nothing to do with her. We are also following Rick who owns a small bar and is one of the businesses in need of help. Overall I really enjoyed this one, I loved seeing a softer side of Lana who wasn't my favorite character in the first one. Lana really loves the town and just wanted everyone to be successful there. I wasn't a huge fan of the Santa moose plot line that seemed to take up a lot of this book, the reveal of the Santa moose was a bit of a let down for me. I still really loved the writing and the town and the characters and can not wait to read the third book in the series! Thank you to netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for my complimentary copy for my honest review.

I love this series so much. Heck with the haters, my February desperately needed an off-balance Christmas romance featuring a naughty moose.

A fun holiday romance set in Alaska! I loved Lana and found her perspectives so interesting and surprising and I mean Rick was just such a sweetheart. This one took a suddenly emotional/deeper turn that I wasn't expecting from it but everything ended up alright. I wish there had been more Santa Moose hunting shenanigans as the parts that included that were quite funny. I also appreciated that the third act breakup was relatively short lived and that Lana handled it in such a uniquely Lana fashion.
