"Fresh, fun and romantic."—SARAH MORGAN, USA Today bestselling author of A Wedding in December 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.

This is the second book in the Moose Springs series. I was on the road when I finished the first one and checked this one out from my Libby app. It follows Lana and Rick the pool hall guy.
It didn't grab me the way the first one did. It lacked the banter of the main characters I enjoyed before. There were a few cute, funny scenes, but it fell flat compared to the first book.
There is a third book that follows Easton. I'm passing for now.
It is a joy to revisit Moose Springs, Alaska, when reading Mistletoe and Mr. Right. In the first book in the series, The Tourist Attraction, the reader is introduced to Lana Montgomery as a secondary character. In this second book, Lana is the main character and experiences her own love story that both challenges and grounds her.
This story follows the budding relationship between Lana Montgomery, the wealthy woman who has invested in Moose Springs' development, and Rick Harding, local bar owner struggling to keep his business afloat. Though the majority of the town despises Lana and her money, Rick sees a side of her that he feels is worth loving. I find the two characters likable and fun. Their encounters together involve a good bit of humor, which I enjoy. Though they are very different, they are well-suited to each other because they balance each other. Rick is especially endearing due to his kind and gentle nature. His heart has been wounded, but he is willing to open himself up to love again.
My favorite aspect of the book is definitely the setting. Moose Springs, Alaska is a quirky and charming small town with a lovable cast of characters. I am excited to return there when the next book in the series is released.
The plot progresses at a good pace and keeps the reader engaged. There are a few plot instances that are a bit farfetched, but I find them quirky and fun rather than annoying. There are some things I would change about some events at the end because they seem cliched or unnecessary, but overall it has a solid and satisfying plot.
I really enjoyed reading this book and would highly recommend it to readers who enjoy small town settings and charming characters.
