The Tourist Attraction

This story about a vacation in a small town in Alaska is just the right amount of charm and romance. It is a thoroughly fun and engaging read.

Zoey Caldwell takes the trip of her dreams when she joins her wealthy friend Lana on a vacation to Moose Springs, Alaska. Moose Springs is a small town that does not like tourists much, even though tourism is the backbone of their economy. Graham Barnett is especially unwelcoming of tourists. That is until he meets Zoey. Graham breaks his strict “no tourists” policy and falls for Zoey's charms. But Zoey's time in Alaska is limited, so they have to ask themselves if it is worth risking their hearts when their time together will end so quickly.

The characters in this book are completely lovable. Graham is the perfect mix of grumpiness, humor, flirtation, and charm. It's hard not to love him. I mean, the guy considers a moose that is in love with his truck as one of his best friends. Sounds crazy, but it's actually super cute. And Zoey is perfectly clumsy, down to earth, sweet, and feisty. She falls in love with Alaska, and her excitement is contagious. I want to go to Alaska now! The two of them together are one of the cutest couples I've encountered in my reading.

I would have given this book 5 stars if not for the ending. I found it to be a bit too cheesy and formulaic for me. That being said, I still loved this book. I can't wait to read the next one in the series.
