All I want this Christmas is to start new traditions with my daughter in our new place—in peace. But when Captain Logan Riley shows up at my doorstep with a letter from Melly’s late father, the quiet holiday season instantly turns to chaos.

I’ve never told anyone who her father is—not my family, my friends, nor the father himself. I’ve certainly never told the handsome soldier who claims to be his best friend. The same man I should definitely not be falling for. It doesn’t matter that he’s made a promise to stick around until I read that letter. He’s not staying beyond a few days, and even if he was, this is all too complicated.

Maybe someone should reiterate that to Ed, though. The local moose, notorious for his matchmaking skills, is currently stalking me. I’ve lived in Sunset Ridge long enough to know what happens when this moose singles you out. But that doesn’t matter. Because I’m absolutely not looking for love this Christmas.

Even if love seems determined to find me.

Titles in the Finding Love in Alaska series include:  Moose Be Love ~ My Favorite Moosetake ~ Anonymoosely Yours ~ Love & Moosechief ~ Under the Mooseltoe ~ Moosely Over You ~ Absomoosely in Love ~ Perfectly Moosematched ~ Chrismoose Kisses ~

This is a no-spice romance with either closed doors or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved 🙂

Title:  Chrismoose Kisses

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Chrismoose Kisses is the tenth title in the Finding Love in Alaska series, and it may also be the last, but time will tell on that.  I haven’t read the earlier stories, but now I need to go back for more Ed the Moose shenanigans to enjoy.

Haylee is a bit concerned that the town’s matchmaking moose, Ed, has been, well, stalking her lately.  She knows the legend of this four-hooved matchmaker and doesn’t trust him as far as she could toss him.  And besides, there aren’t a lot of single guys in this small town, even if she hadn’t crossed romance off her bucket list.  She has her daughter, Melly, her family, and friends… what does she need with romance?  Well, she’s about to find out.  One former military man is about to fall into the moose’s trap… with Haylee.

Logan is on a mission to deliver a letter to Haylee from his best friend Dylan, who is deceased.  He would have made the trip anyway, for he felt like he knew Haylee from his friend’s conversations about her, but he has another reason to hang around… and Haylee is making it very difficult by constantly putting off reading that letter.

I enjoyed Chrismoose Kisses very much.  It’s well-written, full of laughter and tears, a charming town, a mischievous moose, and a couple who really do belong together… if they’re willing to take that risk with their hearts.  I plan on going back to the beginning of the series, for I feel that I missed a lot of stories that I would have enjoyed.  And I’d imagine that Haylee and Logan’s story would feel a bit different if I had all the background.  That’s a 2026 goal, but for now, this was an amazing story that I’d not hesitate to recommend.
