Presley is fresh out of a breakup and going on a vacation that was originally planned for her ex. There she meets Beckett whose family owns the lodge that she is staying at.

Presley falls for everything at the lodge, including Beckett. And Beckett falls just as hard. And it is adorable to see how quickly they fall for each other.

Presley really helps to bring Beckett's dream to life and help him express that to his family who are incredibly supportive of him. And watching the fact that Presley falls in love with his family, his town and everything around him is delightful. And they fall equally in love with Presley.

Beckett and Presley are just adorable to read about. I can't even handle how cute this book was. This is just an overall big fat. Warm hug of a book and I loved everything about it.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a lovely, heartwarming read. Presley and Beckett really feel like two good, true-hearted people who came together and really saw each other. It’s a whirlwind romance that takes place over the course of one vacation, but the characters’ brainwaves are so in-synch that it is very believable. The two of them, being opposites in background and experience, seemed to be pulled together like magnets, but truly they are similar in their values, in their creativity and passion, and in their openness and appreciation for each other. Their love story feels, aptly, very natural. I also enjoyed the small family-run business and small town aspects of the book, the rom-com, get-the-girl ending, and the sublime descriptions of the setting and its connections to the characters’ emotions and love story. I hope we get to see more from these characters in future books!

Absolutely adorable and heart-warming read! Perfect for summer on the beach.

It reminded me in some ways of a no-spice version of It Happened On Summer or The Simple Wild.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Beautiful clean romance! A great pick for the summer. Lovable characters and an ending plot.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me up read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This book was such a great read! Such a sweet and simple romance.

I enjoyed every part of Presley and Beck’s relationship, their conversations were cute and flirty and you could feel their chemistry coming off the pages.

All of the characters were so easy to love, I caught myself wanting Gray and Jilly to get their own books just so I could have more of them. I also really enjoyed the small town/cozy vibe of the island and Get Lost.

I almost thought the ending was going one way and I was starting to get a little disappointed, but it turned around to end exactly as I wanted it to!

I typically do not like third person, but this one didn’t bother me as much. Would definitely recommend and would love to read more from this author in the future!

This is a great comfort book. Feels like snuggling up on the porch swing with a comfy blanket in the fall. Great book when needing a light palette cleanser.


Heartbreak, new friendships, insta-love, fade to black, outdoorsy woodland vibes.

I just finished this #ARC from #netgalley Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan. This book is perfect for readers who love wholesome small town instaslove romances.
The MC was broken up with after planning a vacation for her boyfriend. She went on the vacation to a small town without him and found love.
It's a very sweet book that reads like a Hallmark movie. The writing style reminds me of Tessa Bailey without the smut.

Ahh I loved this book. It was a great story with developed characters. Presley needed this trip to get outside of her comfort zone and meets Beckett. The attraction was instant and all the supporting characters made such a sweet story. I really enjoyed it - like all of Sophie’s books. I can’t wait for my book group to read this one when it’s out.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press & need galley for this digital ARC.

Main characters: Beckett and Presley
Plot: Presley is ready to settle down with her boyfriend. To show him how ready she is she books the perfect getaway around all his favorite things. He gets the present and is excited but not to go with her. The obvious follows and she decided she is going on the trip herself. Get Lost resort is definitely not what she expected and she gets to know Beckett. His family owns the area as part of his brother’s divorce settlement. However out of one relationship another comes.

What I loved: that there are so many opportunities for a sequel. I hope it’s coming. Let’s follow Jilly, Rylee, or Gray!

Book Review of Love Naturally by Sophie Sullivan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was so cute, I read it in a day!

Thank you so much @stmartinspress for the early copy of this one. This is out January 16, 2024 and you will want to put it on your list of to be read!

Presley Ayers is planning the ultimate getaway for her boyfriend, but too bad he dumps her as she's giving him his birthday present! What a cad! He even offers up that he could take someone other than her with him. The getaway had nothing she would love to do, but she was willing to take one for the team to do this wonderful thing together.
She had a total get off the grid outing planned. Remote location in Michigan, to fish, hike and unwind. This city girl was really going to be a fish out of water! Since he dumps her, she decides to go without him.
The boat ride to this remote island is about enough to do her in, but a kind stranger tries to ease her worries.
When she gets to the cabin, her room is icicle cold so they will have to move her room. Enter handsome, kind stranger from the boat, Beckett Keller. His family owns the lodge, and he helps out occasionally with odd jobs. They really do have a witty banter between the two. Presley finds herself drawn into his world with his brother, sister and niece. She finds herself trying new things like hiking and fishing. She makes him a little internet famous by posting a picture of him and this sets the struggling lodge on the path of righting itself.
Super cute love story, characters are great and the setting makes you want to get out in nature!

“When one door closes, another one opens.”
“If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
“You have to look through the rain to see the rainbow.”
“Everything happens for a reason.”

This book is all the cliché inspirational quotes and I loved it! Presley plans a surprise getaway for her boyfriend’s birthday only to have him tell her he’d rather go with someone else. She’s had enough and instead of handing the trip details over to him, she goes alone. What started out as a solo trip quickly turns into one of new friends, a little flirting and found family.

There’s so many things I loved about Love, Naturally. The pacing of this book kept me up reading late into the night. I loved watching Beckett and Presley throw caution to the wind and dive in head first for one week only. The sibling relationships were a perfect blend of banter and love. The social media aspect was a fun addition to the storyline. And of course the ending was the perfect way to wrap up the story.

Grab this book, curl up on the couch and get ready to enjoy the perfect small town romance!

Thank you @netgalley, @authorsophiesullivan and @stmartinspress for a chance to read this book a little early. ☺️💕

Thank you to Sophie Sullivan, the publishers, and NetGalley for giving me an eARC of Love, Naturally in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. When I first read the synopsis I was hesitant because it reminded me a lot of another book that I have read. However, I love Sophie Sullivan and all that she writes so I picked this book up, and I was not disappointed. If you are worried that this book sounds too much like other popular books, still give this a chance because it is AMAZING, and very different from those books. I loved watching Presley grow and try new things. It is nice to see a female main character take a breakup in stride and still push themselves to do all that they committed to, like this outdoors, fishing trip that she got simply for her ex-boyfriend's enjoyment. When Presley meets Beckett, it is the kind of interaction that any one of us could have on a daily basis, that due to other circumstances, turns into more.

Watching Beckett with his family as they try to build up Get Lost Lodge was incredible. It is evident that they all really care about and support each other, despite the fact that they all have their own issues going on. I really really hope that Sullivan writes a book for each of the siblings. I already have a suspicion about who the next book could potentially be about and let me tell you, if there is any chance that I am write, I am so very excited to ready the book. I cannot wait for January when I can get myself a physical copy and reread it because this book is truly outstanding.

Honestly, I was worried this would just be one big rebound with the breakup happening right at the beginning but I was pleasantly surprised. The side characters are as entertaining as the MCs.

Read if you enjoy…
-outdoors
-hot tubs
-forced proximity
-insta attraction
-supportive family

took me a bit to get into, but once presley gets to the lodge (which is only a couple of chapters in) things really pick up. i thought the pacing was great; nothing ever really felt boring. i will say that once i got about 75% of the way through i kind of stalled. i think i just didn’t really want to get to the “end” of their relationship, even though i felt like i knew partially what was coming after. i loved the setting—rustic lodge, island, small town—and all of the side characters that fit within it. presley & beckett were wonderful and i really appreciated how they complimented and supported each other. it’s not super open door; there were quite a few casual touches & a couple kisses but everything beyond that was implied.

loved this romance about a girl being dumped and finding herself at a lodge and finding family and romance. I liked the brother and sister and even the friend. I loved that she is trying to figure out her life and job and even the romance.

Sophie Sullivan creates contemporary romance novels with classic themes.

City girl meets country boy has never been written better.

Presley is one of my favorite FMC of 2023.

Presley is an optimist who turns every bad situation into good. Her downfall is not being able to read her real life relationships well.

Beckett has trouble diverting from his path and taking risks.

These two make sparks fly and I'm here for it.

3.5 Stars rounded up to 4.

Presley plans a very nice vacation in the wilderness for her and her boyfriend but actually ends up getting dumped in the process. She decides to go on the vacation anyway and ends up finding more happiness there than in her real life. Presley was a city girl who enjoys yoga, shopping, eating good food and has never participated in outdoor activities until she finds her at Get Lost Lodge. Enter Beckett, who is helping is brother get the lodge up and running to its best capacity. Beckett and Presley instantly connect and spend the next week of Presley's vacation together falling in love.

They're romance is sweet and wholesome but for some reason I wished for more. They spent a lot of time helping around the lodge and I just wish they spent more time alone together. I especially enjoyed the ending and the gems about trusting how love will change your life. Overall, I enjoyed their love story and it is a sweet story for a quick summer day read.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

If you’re looking for a hallmark-esque small town romance, this is for you! I really enjoyed this for what it is!

For about the first 100 pages I was really stuck on how much I’m not a fan of insta-love as a trope. I’m generally more of a slow burn fan. However! Despite the insta-love, the chemistry was there. I really felt like Presley and Beckett liked each other and were falling in love.

I adored the small town aspects and the cast of characters that comes with. If this was a hallmark movie I would eat it up.

I’m a little confused on how Presley was an influencer with a wide enough reach to drum up business for a small town lodge but also working as a hotel concierge dying for a promotion though. But, both things are necessary to the plot and her integration into the family and lives of those in Smile.

Overall, I had a great time!

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

This was such a beautiful love story! I really enjoyed this book. The plot was great and I loved the characters as well. The story follows Presley Ayers who gets dumped by her boyfriend when she tried to surprise him with a vacation to the Get Lost Lodge. She's devastated by this, so she goes on the vacation herself but the one catch is that it was centered around all the things her ex-boyfriend liked to do; camping, fishing, hiking, etc. Presley is determined to have a good time on her vacation even if it's not her regular style. Once she arrives, she meets Beckett Keller, whose family owns the lodge. Presley and Beckett are the perfect couple! They were attracted to each other right off the bat, but tried to fight it for a bit and then eventually fell for each other. They were opposites but it worked so well. There wasn't much steam which I would have preferred more of, but overall, it was a great book!

Sophie Sullivan writes such cute stories. They always feel like reading a Hallmark movie and I love it!

Love, Naturally follows Presley Ayers, an assistant concierge hoping to move up in her career, who plans a surprise trip for her boyfriend and gets a surprise of her own: she gets dumped. Determined to enjoy the vacation she coordinated and paid for, she heads to a fishing lodge (as a non-fisher). There she meets Beckett Keller, one of the owners of the lodge trying to figure out his next moves in life. Through a series of (sometimes unfortunate events) Beckett and Presley keep landing in each others orbit. The more they spend time together, the more they start to feel for one another. But do they have a future, with Presley returning to her concierge job hundreds of miles away?

It was nice to read a book from Sophie outside of the Jansen brothers series! I always love Sophie’s character development. The pacing of the story could have been improved (it drags at some points) but it was a cute story overall. I recommend if you enjoy wholesome romances that give you all the vibes of a hallmark movie!

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the arc!
