Thank you @netgalley @smpromance for a copy of this sweet romance. Presley goes on a fishing trip solo after her boyfriend doesn't want to go. I love the small town vibe and all the characters in this story. Presley meets Beckett who is helping his brother and sister with this lodge. This story is a bit of insta love which I am not a big fan of but thought it was done well. I enjoyed seeing both Beckett and Presley's growth journey. I hope this story continues with Beckett's siblings as the focus.

This was such a cute and quick listen! I really enjoyed the FMC, how she went out of her comfort zone. The cottage setting, the MMC, his family and that ending were fabulous!

Thanks to NetGalley, MacMillan Audio & St Martin's Press for advance copies in exchange for an honest review

I've read and enjoyed all of Sophie Sullivan's books, but Love, Naturally is my absolute favorite. Beckett and Presley's love story was so sweet, romantic, and well-developed which is not an easy feat in an "insta-love" situation. This book honestly made me want to jump on the nearest ferry to a very small island and find my own Hot Mountain Man, or at least his family! I would absolutely love stories about Jill and Gray and hope this is a series.

Surprisingly cute!

I'm a big outdoor gal and this one peeked my interest and it was just delightful. Fun and adorable, the perfect mix of laughable city gal meets the outdoors and struggling family resort mets social media star.

I absolutely enjoy this book! The romance is a bit insta-lovey but I devoured it nonetheless! When I read about the main character, I see myself in her and that makes it easy for me to relate to her journey and connect with the story on a personal level. I truly felt her dread of living for 10 days in the outdoor when we're both not outdoorsy people! This was a very cute read and I'd recommend it to my book club!

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press fo an arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is my second book by Sullivan and this one has also fallen in the middle for me. Not terrible but not amazing either. I loved the idea for the book: outdoorsy guy and city girl fall for each other while out in the wilderness? I have a feeling there will be steam! Overall, this was a cute summer read and a perfect palette cleanser for me. The two things I struggled with was the unrealistic aspects of Beck and Presley's relationship and how long it took to get through a ten day vacation.

Overall, perfect for fans:
- Third person POV
- Dual POV
- Opposites attract
- Instant attraction
- City girl x Outdoorsy guy
- Closed door spice
- Nicholas Sparks vibes
- Similar to "Part of Your World" book

Loved!

This is a new author to me, and I can’t wait for the next book in what I really hope will continue this story. I’d love to see Jill and Grayson each get their own books!

When Presley buys her boyfriend a vacation at a remote Michigan fishing camp, she thinks he will love it. Unfortunately, Emmett has different ideas, so Presley ends up taking a solo trip to the Get Lost lodge, and discovers things about herself she never knew. For example, hiking isn’t her jam, neither is fishing or salamanders. But she finds a great guy, the Mr. Right Now guy, and his family, who accept her as one of their own.

Some instagram posts and hashtags later, the lodge is attracting a lot of attention, and so is Beckett. But Presley is leaving in a week, so their relationship is on the clock, or is it?

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

I really liked this book, it was different than anything else I've read which was a breath of fresh air. I will be recommending this to my friends, and auto buy this author!

Sophie Sullivan never disappoints and I absolutely loved Love, Naturally! This was adorable and got me out of the reading slump I was in!

Presley Ayers embarks on a trip that she has planned as a surprise for her now ex-boyfriend. While she had every intention of them going together, events occur that have her going alone. While outdoorsy is not her thing, she puts forth the effort to have a good time. She finds herself surrounded by new friends, some of which have a big impact on her future. It's a sweet love story between a man and a woman and his family and hometown. Will this be a vacation fling or will they take things further...
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook that I read for this review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan.

I loved this book. I loved all the characters except her ex-boyfriend. He most defiantly was not my favorite. Beckett and Presley.... they were just made made for each other. You could tell from the start. Beckett and his family are just wonderful. They are such a close and loving family, you can't help but fall in love with all of them. I hope she does spin offs for both Jilly and Gray! Presley and Beckett complimented each other so nicely. They worked well together and you could feel the love, even though it was a short amount of time.
I would defiantly recommend this book. I didn't want to stop reading it!

This was a sweet, fun small town romance. The main characters are complete opposites but end up together at an outdoor adventure vacation. I don't read very many love at first sight love stories so I enjoyed this change of pace. This book also has a collection of fantastic supporting characters that really added to my enjoyment of the book! This story is warm and satisfying with characters that fall into an adult relationship (not too much misunderstanding or hurtful behavior in the name of romance). This was a fun read!

Thanks to Sophie Sullivan, St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin, and NetGalley for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review.

If you loved What Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey, you will love this. This has so much heart and had me audibly giggling for these two. SO SO good.

I am withholding my review of this title in solidarity with the Readers for Accountability boycott of St. Martin’s Press. I will happily share my thoughts once the publisher responds to the organizers.

This was a cute small town romance. If you like charming side characters and opposites attract this might be the book for you!

I feel like a lot of the story was repetitive and dragged in places but the instant love aspect was not really a hit for me. I did like Presley and Beckett and they had good chemistry.

Give this book a try if you’re looking for an easy to read and kind of corny sweet romance!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Presley Ayers is not an outdoorsy kind of girl - but her boyfriend of 8 months, Emmett, is. To try to connect with him more, She books a trip to the Get Lost Lodge - an place filled with outdoorsy excursions. But when she surprises Emmett with the trip, she finds herself dumped instead.

Presley is then determined to go on the trip anyways, intent on reevaluating her life and who she is. She encounters Beckett, brother of the owner of Get Lost, on the boat ride over and feels an immediate connection. While this book isn't marketed at an Insta-love, it really is - even though Presley has only ten days at Get Lost, her and Beckett fall into something wild and wonderful almost immediately.

I usually don't love Insta-love, but I loved Presley and Beckett. Both were adults in their thirties who acted like adults in their thirties, and I was rooting for them to find their happily ever after the entire time I was reading.

This book also has a great supporting cast - I'd read more from this world, like a book about Gray and a book about Jilly!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!

Presley sells herself short at work, with her parents, and in relationships. After planning a fantastic surprise trip for her boyfriend, Emmett, his reaction is the opposite of what Presley anticipated and hoped for. Instead of the trip bringing them together and taking their relationship to the next step, Emmet is a complete jerk, and they break up. Presley decides to go on the vacation alone and learns so much about the Get Lost Lodge, a “hot mountain man,” and herself.

For fans of Happily Ever Afters, love at first sight, found family, and small-town romances, Love, Naturally is a charming and light rom-com.

When I get into a phase of reading historical fiction or more emotive contemporary fiction, I sometimes need something lighter and happier to break up the intensity. If you feel this way, consider Love, Naturally a good palette cleanser. It was easy and quick to read and a fun change of pace.

I switched between the Kindle version and the audiobook and enjoyed both formats. I love to listen to audiobooks while doing household chores or driving, and I tend to lean towards lighter books that are easy to follow with the audio version. Love, Naturally was great for this purpose.

Thank you, NetGalley and MacMillan, for the ARC.

This book gives you all the warm and fuzzy feelings. It's a lighthearted romance filled with humor, heart, and a dash of self-discovery. From the captivating storyline to the well-rounded characters, this book had me hooked from start to finish. I have to give a shoutout to Sophie Sullivan for crafting such a heartwarming story of opposites attracting. The way she develops the characters and their connection is simply magical.

Presley Ayers has a plan – she’s a concierge at a local hotel, dating a golden boy and ready to move to the next step with her love life and career.

Her plan goes sideways when she plans a surprise trip for her boyfriend’s birthday, but he breaks up with her instead. She goes on the trip instead by herself and is totally out of her comfort zone at the fishing resort, Get Lost Lodge, which is totally not her thing.

Beckett works at the Lodge, helping his brother get it back up and running. It’s instalove and a cringe meet-cute (but aren’t they the best kind?) but Beckett and Presley are cute together, and I could feel the instant connection.

Self-realization story with a supportive best friend, found family and discovering what (insta) love really is.

Went between e-ARC and audiobook for this one and recommend both.
