Okay so round two on festive e-arcs & this one turned out a lot better for me! I really enjoyed Mistletoe & Mr. Right and was super excited to find out this is the second novel in a Jasmine Guillory-esque series about a tiny Alaskan town, so I’ve got the first book of the series to catch up on and I’ve got a third book to look forward to in 2021!

Mistletoe & Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler is all about defying expectations, finding love in the wrong place and of course, Christmas festivities! Lana Montgomery’s heart has always been in Moose Springs, Alaska — and now her & her family’s money will be too, as they’re planning to buy up and build out the town. The locals are... hostile to stay the least, except for Rick Harding, the pool hall owner, who seems to have a sweet blind spot for Lana that is growing into a full blown crush. Add to all this tension and confusion a rampaging Christmas-hating moose, and you’ve got a holiday season that Lana has only dreamed about!

Admittedly, it’s not a groundbreaking story or even all that inventive in the romance novel genre, but it was soft and sweet, a great weekend read! It made me smile, giggle and swoon just a bit — and it’s not heavy on the heat, if that’s what you prefer!
