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.

It’s no secret that I love this Moose Springs, Alaska series by Sarah Morgenthaler, and now is the perfect time to talk about the second book (even though I reviewed 1 and 3 a couple years ago) because it’s the most adorable Christmas romance! Upon finishing I immediately got the audio version so I can listen while baking, wrapping presents, or crocheting Christmas ornaments. Mistletoe and Mr. Right is such a warm, happy, funny, festive read and I will recommend it (and the other books in this series) all day long.

I loved Lana as soon as I met her in The Tourist Attraction, so I was delighted to see her get her own love story this go around. I was also extremely excited to return to Moose Springs and see Zoey, Graham, and all my other favorite people who live there. Lana and Rick have the cutest relationship. I loved watching it all unfold. They are definitely proof that opposites really do attract. Lana is spunky extroverted heiress from the big city and Rick is a quiet, small town single guardian of the sweetest kid. He’s head over heels for Lana already and she hasn’t quite noticed him yet. They kind of go from acquaintances to friends to flirty friends to lovers, and I loved their journey. The moose story is silly, but wonderful. And oh my gosh, there’s this weird squirrel B&B that had me laughing so hard that I had to immediately write to the author.

I don’t want to talk too much, because everything feels like a spoiler to me. But bottom line, you need to read this series. It’s filled with beautiful Alaskan scenery, moose, super down-to-earth characters, small town friendships among the townspeople (everyone knows your name, essentially), and so much heart and humor. I can’t wait for more Sarah Morgenthaler books.
