Curl up with a quirky small-town Alaskan rom-com that'll leave you laughing over: A grumpy local and the sunny tourist who turns his world upside down A rogue moose who threatens to steal every scene A vacation you'll never forget And a sweet romance that doesn't need to scald the pages to burn its way into your heart He had a strict "no tourists" policy...until she broke all of his rules.When Graham Barnett named his diner The Tourist Trap, he meant it as a joke. Now he's stuck slinging reindeer dogs to an endless parade of resort visitors who couldn't interest him less. Not even the sweet, enthusiastic tourist in the corner who blushes every time he looks her way... Two weeks in Alaska isn't just the top item on Zoey Caldwell's bucket list. It's the whole bucket. One look at the mountain town of Moose Springs and she's smitten. But when an act of kindness brings Zoey into Graham's world, she may just find there's more to the grumpy local than meets the eye...and more to love in Moose Springs than just the Alaskan wilderness. This story of Alaska marries together all the things you didn't realize you needed: a whirlwind vacation, a friendly moose, a grumpy diner owner, a quirky tourist, plenty of restaurant humor, and a happy ending that'll take you away from it all.

Spoiler-Free Review:
This was such a cute read! While I was deceived into thinking it was a holiday book based on the cover, the book actually takes place in July. I shouldn't have assumed since it's set in Alaska but either way, I enjoyed the book! Such a sweet romance, grumpy/sunshine vibes! The story was so cute and well written. I laughed (and even cried) while reading it. There's an amazing relationship between the male MC and his dog that was seriously the sweetest thing ever. This book kind of spoke to me. The FMC plans what she thinks is a once in a life time vacation full of excursions that keep going awry (I feel like this would happen to me because I'm always planning things that sometimes don't pan out). Tender tender romance, but if you're looking for spice look elsewhere this book was all fade to black and tension. I didn't mind it though since I was living the story- it didn't need the spice. I think this is adult maybe because of the age of the characters, but there was no smut and honestly I don't remember any language either. Just a nice cinnamon roll, feel good read.
3.5 stars
I loved the setting! Moose Springs is amazing!
All the characters are great, even the secondary characters. I loved Zoey, I liked Graham a lot and their dynamic was very charming. But at a point, things started to drag a little and the hate on the tourists took a very unexpected turn... I found it a little repetitive too.
I still enjoyed it a lot though, so I'll read the next book in the series.
An adorable love story about a girl who saves up for an incredible Alaskan vacation and finds more than she thought she would in the little town of Moose Springs. It's also a story about a small town that is struggling to stay afloat without tourism, and finding a way to come to terms with changes that the town may need. There is even an adorable dog and (of course) a love-sick moose. Perfect read to distract me from world events right now.
