CW: divorce (recounted)

I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

After getting unceremoniously dumped, Presley Ayers goes on what would have been a couples trip to Get Lost Lodge with her ex, now solo. While there, she meets Beckett Keller, one of the Lodge’s employees who dreams of venturing out to run his own business. Though they are complete opposites and Presley is staying at Get Lost for one week, Beckett and Presley can’t help falling for each other.

Love, Naturally is a cute rom-com for readers looking for an opposites-attract trope set in a small resort town. Sullivan provides a good concept for a romance within a wilderness lodge and I enjoyed the nature aspects that Love, Naturally provided. Her writing is able to draw you in on the small town charm that Smile has to offer while also giving some gorgeous imagery of being out in nature. While I felt like some of Sullivan’s writing dragged on in certain scenes, I didn’t find it to be a huge issue.

One of the things I really liked about Love, Naturally is the romance between Presley and Beckett. Both of these characters complement each other so well and there are some great dynamics between them in the book. You will swoon over how cute their relationship is and the ending can make any hopeless romantic sigh happily.

That being said, if you’re looking for a rom-com set in nature featuring an opposites-attract trope that turns out to be soulmates, keep your eye out for Love, Naturally next year.

Rounded up from 4.5
Presley is stuck going on a camping trip she bought as a surprise for her boyfriend's birthday because he dumped her. Camping is not really her thing, but how bad can it be? Beckett, whose family owns the lodge, sees right through her act: that woman does not belong there. And yet, he can't help being drawn to her...
This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, insta love, fade to black romance with small town vibes. Since I really loved other Sophie Sullivan's books (the Jansen's Brothers series: How to Love Your Neighbor, A Guide to Being Just Friends and Ten Rules for Faking It), I wanted to give this one a try, and I was not disappointed! I would even love to see more of this family (Jill and Ollie, Grayson, and Rylee) in a series. Ollie is adorable and I loved all of the side characters. I didn't even mind the third act break up, since I think in one of the rare instances, it needed to be part of the plot and you do see it coming from the beginning since Presley is only at the lodge for ten days. Could Beckett have handled it better? Yes. But I loved his grand gesture to get her back, it was so fitting in today's world (and hers). The story is told in dual POVs, but both are third person and I did not really feel any true distinction between the two. I liked that Presley challenged herself to do these things even if she didn't have to "impress" Emmett anymore. Beckett is really a lot more than a hot mountain man, and I liked that Presley was annoyed and felt guilty for that image, and that she was defending him. I would totally see this as a Hallmark movie!
I received an advance review copy of this book for free, and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

Love, Naturally is an adorable mix of romance tropes with a family run business at its heart. Similar to Tessa Bailey (without the heat) or Sarah Adams, it was a fun, light read perfectly relatable whether you love the great outdoors, or not.

I read this book in 2 days because i couldn't put it down and needed to find out what happened and it was everything i hoped for and more another sibling book that i cant wait for the other books presley and beckett are just so much to read about and this one isn't spicy so if that's what your hoping for dont but still enjoy the story I did

I think there is a definite audience for a romance like this…cozy, sweet, kind, closed door and well written. For someone who is going through a tough time or just needs an escape, this is a great book. I honestly was bored at times. I needed a little more angst and maybe a little less sweetness. So maybe this book wasn’t really for me at this time but it will find an audience who loves it and it deserves to do so.

Love, Naturally reads as a very unique rom com. I loved the trope of the FMC breaking up with a horrible boyfriend and moving on to what she deserves!!! The book fell a bit flat for me outside of this, it just wasn't what I was in the mood for this summer, I feel like as a mood reader this would be a beautiful spring or fall book. Definitely check it out if you enjoy romance books!

this was my first read from this author! This was such a cute, wholesome read.

Presley planned a surprise vacation for her boyfriend and her to enjoy quality time together. Her view on their relationship was drastically different than her boyfriends, so much so she ended up taking the vacation alone.

Enter hot mountain man 😏 Beckett works at the lodge Presley was headed off too. The insta connection was cute to read, swoony.

The book had a lot going on, it wasn’t strictly focused on Beckett and Presley’s romance which sometimes made it hard to follow, however I loved this little town and lodge 🫶🏼

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

This book was cute! I love small town romances and this one was no exception. It felt like a modern day Hallmark movie (with influencers) and the cast of characters was so fun, especially the main characters Presley and Beckett whose journey I enjoyed following.
The book is written in third person dual POV which didn’t work super well for me as it was a little confusing to follow whose turn it was and I wasn’t as immersed and invested as I think I would have been in first person POV. The pacing felt a little off at times and some parts were rushed whereas others dragged on and on and yeah… I kept waiting for spice where there was none lol. The romance was cute and wholesome though. I expected a little more but overall still enjoyed this book. 3.75 stars!
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press & NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I think this might be my favorite Sophie Sullivan book.
I loves Presley and Beckett. I loved the town and the lodge. I really enjoy when a place feels like a character to me and that’s what Smile and Get Lost Lodge felt like. The side characters were so good and have left me wanting more of Smile and Get Lost Lodge. From Grayson to Rylee to Jill, they were all so interesting and kind. And let’s not forget the rest of the towns people.
This was such a fun warm romance.

I absolutely LOVED this book!! Presley plans a surprise trip for her boyfriend and he ends hating the idea and their relationship ends. She decides to go on the trip anyway and meets the mountain man. With two separate agendas in mind, Presley to heal from her breakup, and Beckett to help his siblings with the resort and pitch his new idea. There is no room for a relationship or even a fling, but these two couldn't fight fate. Not to mention they are total opposites!

This love story was so heart warming! I loved the cast and the family dynamic represented so much.

Thank you so much St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin, Sophie Sullivan and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

3.75🌟. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the e-arc of Sophie Sullivan’s newest romance book, Love, Naturally, in exchange for my honest review.

This is my new favorite Sophie Sullivan novel.

Summary:
When city-girl, Presley surprises her boyfriend of 8 months with a surprise vacation to Get Lost Lodge near Lake Michigan and he dumps her instead, she decides to go at it alone. She hops on the plane, takes a boat, steps into the cute small town, and Get Lost Lodge.
Arriving at Get Lost Lodge, Beckett can tell this beautiful city woman is out of her element. She doesn't fish, hike, or generally like nature and Beckett has more important things on his mind. With his family's crumbling lodge and a dream that he keeps putting off, he doesn't have time for Presley or any of the attraction he feels toward her. They are complete opposites, but you know what they say about opposites- they attract.

This fun rom-com story includes all the favorites:
- Mountain Man meets City Girl
- Instant-Love
- Found Family
- Closed-door romance
- Opposites Attract
- Forced Proximity
- Dual POV
I really enjoyed this romance. Beckett and Presley's chemistry was so fresh and perfect.
I do wish there was more alone time between them to defend how quickly they fell. They spend a lot of time sprucing up the lodge, but I wanted more scenes of Beckett & Presley. The one thing I was confused about was Presley's social media influencer status and how she was able to get so much business for the Lodge in such a short time. However, this was integral to the storyline and her integration into the family. Also, I have to shed light on the side characters! They were perfect. If this does not become a series, I would be so sad. Please tell me we will get Jill and Greyson's love stories!! I will devour more in this small town & family!

Love, Naturally was basically what I anticipated it would be- an easy, sort of corny romance that I could read to relax. I am always a sucker for a small town where everyone knows and loves each other. The main character got under my skin a bit- I’m not really sure why, but I just couldn’t relate to her. She had very low standards for her life and then sort of stumbled into an insta-love situation, which I found less believable because she thought she loved her tool of a boyfriend two days prior. All in all, not my favorite. But would I read the obvious sequel they are planning? Probably.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this sweet romance!
I enjoyed it overall! As withost romances l, I knew exactly what was going to happen from the start but I still enjoyed the journey.
On the heels of an unexpected breakup, Presley goes to a small town and takes a vacation at a lodge. There she meets Becket and the rest is just a sweet love story. I would recommend it if you're looking for something sweet and predictable.

Oh my goodness did I LOVE this book!! (Just like I have loved all of Sophie Sullivan's books)

I connected with Presley wholeheartedly. She was an amazing character and I love her initial attraction to Beckett PLUS her connection with his entire family. I was cheering her on the whole dang time!!!

Speaking of Beckett, I don't know who is hotter: Sophie Sullivan's hot mountain man or B.K. Borison's grumpy animal lover (Both are swoon worthy but sexy mountain man FTW!!!).

There are so many amazing tidbits I could write about this book (The hiking! The Band Aids! Ollie! Mr. D! Everythinggg) but all I can say is GET LOST in the book and enjoy it for yourself!!

Thank you to Netgalley and St Martins Press for an eARC of Love, Naturally.

This was such a cute story. Presley definitely comes off as a naive, people pleaser st the beginning of the book. However, her trip to the Get Lost resort really opens her eyes to a new reality. I really loved her and Beckett together.

I definitely recommend this book.

This book has ruined me for other books. I still have a book hangover weeks after reading this. Love! Love! Love!

First, I LOVE Beckett! *Swoon* I also love that we had duel POVs so we get to be in his head, Really understand his perspective. It makes it easy to understand how he acts and what drives him.

Presley is also wonderful. She takes on things she has never done, challenges herself, and learns a lot about herself along the way.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention the supporting characters, they are PERFECTION!! If this does not become a series i will be devastated. I want to see Beckett’s brother and sister find love!! Sign me up! I am officially a Sophie Sullivan super fan!!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC!

“I fell in love. The real kind that won’t go away. And it hurts.”

If you like sweet romances, with the found family trope, lots of lovable side characters and very little drama, this book is for you!

Presley surprises her boyfriend with his dream vacation in northern Michigan, at a lodge that offers hiking, fishing, and many other outdoor activities. Instead of them going together, Presley and Emmett end up breaking up and she goes on the trip alone in the hopes to find herself. Instead, she finds a lovable family that runs the lodge, and Beckett, the hot mountain man that seems to read her so well and help her through whatever she needs.

The romance in this book is quite instant, since Presley is on vacation for only ten or so days, and they give into their attraction pretty early on. Personally, I would have liked a bit more tension, but it was cute all the same.

I really liked the setting of the place, and I jumped on the chance to read this book when I saw it was based in Michigan. While the town of Smile is fictional, most of the descriptions were very nicely detailed and I could envision being up north.

However, I did have to criticize a couple things, the first one being that Presley mentions going hiking on a mountain. Considering the setting is on a Northern Michigan island, there really won’t be many mountains there - maybe some hills. The second one is when Beckett was teaching Presley how to fish and she said she wanted to throw the fish back in the “ocean”. Freshwater lakes are the most you’ll find in Michigan.

Maybe I was being too critical of a fictional island town, but if you can look past that and a couple continuity errors, the book is overall very enjoyable.

Tropes:

🐟 Insta love
🐟 Found family
🐟 Closed door romance
🐟 City girl x small town guy
🐟 Dual POV

Thank you, St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley, for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Presley Ayers is not the camping type, but she's going to suck it up for a surprise weeklong vacation for her boyfriend's birthday. Oh, except he's not thrilled about the surprise and he dumps her. She decides to take the trip herself anyways.

Beckett Keller is helping fix up the crumbling lodge, and he can't believe this city woman is out here for a nature adventure on her own. She's stepping out of her comfort zone, and he'll do everything he can to make a resort guest happy.

Presley and Beckett fall hard and fast for each other. Their relationship is fun to watch, and this opposites-attract love is a cute read. I really loved the nature vibe of the story. This is a great beach read (or if you're like me, a chill-out-on-the-deck-in-the-sun read). I want my own Beckett, please!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This is definitely my new fave from Sophie Sullivan. I was talking to a friend about this book and we both agreed that the best kind of romance is the kind where you are so invested that you don't even realize that it's closed door.

When Presley plans a vacation surprise for her boyfriend and everything goes as wrong as possible, she ends up at a fishing resort alone. She fully expects to wallow in netflix and chocolate, but finds that the family and guests at the resort are the true gift. Her romance with Beckett is sweet and swoony and moves at just the right pace. The side characters are perfection. The town is so much fun. The setting is the perfect balance of providing background and texture without being overwhelming to the story. Please tell me that we are going to get Jill and Greyson's stories, too!

If enjoyed this book as much as I did, please go back and read Sophie's Jody Holford books. They are fantastic.

Abso- freaking- lutely gorgeous!!!!!


Thank you soooooo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗
