Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca for gifting me a review copy of Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler. This is the second in the Moose Springs, Alaska series, following The Tourist Attraction. I haven’t actually read the first book yet, but I was just gifted a copy so expect a review on that soon!

Our leading lady, Lana Montgomery, works for a property development company working on a project in sleepy little Moose Springs, Alaska. Basically, the town hates her and everything she represents so she has her work cut out for her trying to win them over. She gets it in her head that if she can capture the rogue moose who has been destroying everyone’s Christmas displays the town will be more accepting of her. The moose has been dubbed the ‘Santa Moose’ and is as elusive as he is anti-Christmas.

Lana starts spending time with grumpy local bar-owner Rick Harding, and the two start to develop a friendship along with some flirtier feelings, despite Lana accidentally shooting him with a tranquilizer dart during one of her attempts to catch the Santa Moose. Their budding relationship isn’t without some challenges, but what good romance is.

Overall I found this story super cute, and Christmasy, and it had everything I was looking for in a book at this time of year. I’m really looking forward to reading the first in the series, and I’m already anticipating the third one that comes out, Enjoy the View, in January.

Synopsis:

How the moose (almost) stole Christmas.

Lana Montgomery is everything the quirky small town of Moose Springs, Alaska can't stand: a rich socialite with dreams of changing things for the better. But Lana's determined to prove that she belongs...even if it means trading her stilettos for snow boots and tracking one of the town's hairiest Christmas mysteries: the Santa Moose, an antlered Grinch hell-bent on destroying every bit of holiday cheer (and tinsel) it can sink its teeth into.

And really...how hard could it be?

The last few years have been tough on Rick Harding, and it's not getting any easier now that his dream girl's back in town. When Lana accidentally tranquilizes him instead of the Santa Moose, it's clear she needs help, fast...and this could be his chance to finally catch her eye. It's an all-out Christmas war, but if they can nab that darn moose before it destroys the town, Rick and Lana might finally find a place where they both belong...together.
