4-STAR REVIEW: FOREVER IN ALASKA by Belle Calhoune

The Description

 Moose Falls, Alaska: Book 3
Publication Date: October 28, 2025

In the beloved small town of Moose Falls, a holiday dating charade between coworkers starts to feel like the real thing . . .

The youngest of three brothers, Landon Stone would do anything for his grandmother, Hattie—even return to his hometown of Moose Falls. Hattie’s heart is set on her grandsons taking over the family business—and finding their happily-ever-afters in Alaska. When Hattie gets the idea that Landon is romantically entangled with his gorgeous colleague, Bailey Daniels, Landon doesn’t just go along with it—he asks Bailey to join the ruse.

Bailey isn’t sure if she agrees because she adores Hattie for helping her family through their darkest times . . . or because she finds the charmingly nerdy Landon completely irresistible. Either way, it’s extremely easy to appear totally into him. But as they collaborate at work—and after hours—to make Hattie’s Christmas extra special, Bailey and Landon’s relationship starts to feel all too real. What if the only people Landon and Bailey are fooling this season . . . are themselves?

The Review

Forever in Alaska is the third book in the Moose Falls, Alaska series by Belle Calhoune, and I’d love to meet up with these characters again. Set in Alaska, with vivid descriptions of the scenery, I could feel the cold and see the Christmas decorations shining brightly.

Landon and Bailey headline this holiday story, and it is heartwarming, and filled with laughter and love, when they are on the same page. I loved how all the characters we’ve met before are still a part of the tale and how others were thrown into the mix and embraced. Watching Hattie’s decline was sad, but she still managed to live on her terms, as she always had.

Multiple stories are told, and some were a nice continuation from the previous books. There are a few twists and turns, but most of the story was on an even keel, even when emotions were high. There is closure on several fronts and a happily-ever-after in the future, but I would have loved to see it play out here, especially if the epilogue went on a little longer.
