Lana must not only prove herself worthy of her involvement with the town, but also to her family why this town is worth it. Also, her love of Moose Springs might not be able to sustain her wishes to continue to stay as her family’s business might have other wishes. She has difficulty though balancing her disappointments with keeping a strong appearance and sometimes she questions her decision to continue to work in isolation. Her optimism about everything working out and her big heart push her forward to make the town shine in the face of financial peril. She not only has to prove herself to the town of Moose Springs, but she also has to maintain her place in her family’s company, The Montgomery Group. I loved that she got her own story to take center-stage and shine as a main character. Lana was a fantastic character and even though she was only a secondary character in the first novel, I actually liked her much better than Zoey (the main).

Although she spends tons of time in Moose Springs, she is still considered an outsider and does not feel like she truly belongs. Lana Montgomery continues her quest to build the Moose Springs Luxury Condominiums while still facing resistance from the local residents. This time the focus is on Lana and Rick’s story with the others in the background. All the characters from the first novel, Graham, Zoey, Easton, Ashtyn, Lana, and Rick are all back and play their own roles in this story. Now add in Christmas-time and you’ve now gone into full fairy tale territory! This novel is a continuation of The Tourist Attraction and although it’s better to read the first one in order to understand all of the background and characters, it could be read as a standalone as there are sections where the background in recapped. We return to small town Alaska in this novel set in Moose Springs! It felt like coming home as I’m a sucker for the Alaskan wilderness as it’s a magical place.
