"Love, Naturally" is as cliche and cringy as they come. Presley and Beckett were too perfect and too boring. The book dragged on and on, and I wasn't able to engage with the storyline and the instant love connection was an instant kill.

I was surprised by how quickly the lead characters found themselves ina relationship 2-3 into Presley's 10 day vacation. Cue the shocked Pikachu face.

Not for me. But would be ideal for those looking for instant love, slow AF pacing, cringeworthy romance.

The romance in this book was good, but the comedy in this book was great! I laughed so hard I cried as I read through Presley adventuring into nature for the first time. She is the perfect, spunky lead for a story like this. Beckett was timid but easy to love in his selfless, good-natured way. This book is a great read for anyone looking for a sweet, closed-door romance, that will make you laugh out loud!

Love, Naturally is a very sweet romance about recently dumped Presley Ayers, who decides to still go on a trip she planned for her now-ex to the Get Lost Lodge. She had planned the trip around his hobbies (fishing, hiking; all things she’s not used to) and she pledges to try everything to make the most of it.

But she didn’t plan on Beckett Keller, one of the three siblings who run the lodge, and while she falls instantly in love with.

I am not a fan of insta-love, so this one wasn’t the best for me. But it is well-written and totally delivers on its premise. So if that’s your jam, you will love it!

Another sweet and joyful read from Sullivan, with a cute small-town setting inhabited by a host of charming characters, and two leads who fall head-over-heels in love during a week spent together at a struggling island getaway. She's there on a vacation she thought she'd be taking with her ex. He's there helping his family get the resort in shape. While hiking, gardening, touring the nearby towns, renovating a cabin, building the resort's social media presence, and sneaking a little alone time in a hot tub or or on a star-canopied mountaintop, Presley and Beckett quickly realize they've found their Big Feels forever-someone. Even better, Presley finds the community and belonging she's been lacking back home. The setting's delightful. The characters are all easy to root for. The conflict is low, allowing readers to relax into the story and simply enjoy watching these two realize they're far more than just a week-long fling. Perfect for readers who enjoy sweet, closed-door love stories with cheerful, charming settings, a focus on the importance of family, and characters who push each other out of their comfort zones to discover they're much better together than they are apart.

Presley was dumped by her bf after she paid for a nature excursion for them. She decided to go anyways even though she isn't a nature person and meets Beckett. They fell for each other...

I love how they fit together even though they are very different people. Terrific characters with depth. Very likable. Love the humour too. Fun and sweet romance.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Love, Naturally was a breath of fresh air for the romance genre! It was the perfect amount of fluff and cuteness that I could not put down. The “Get Lost Lodge” setting was the perfect backdrop for this love-at-first-sight relationship between Presley and Beckett.

I enjoyed the pacing; none of the scenes felt rushed. I felt like I was falling for Beckett at the same time Presley was! The small town of Smile was adorable, and I felt transported into a Hallmark movie.

I recommend this book to anyone wanting a quick and easy romance read! It comes out on January 16th, 2024. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me an ARC of this book!

Where do I even begin! This one gets all the feels. The characters are so loveable and Presely won my heart from the very beginning. Always on plan, life throws her a curve ball and sends her on the ride of her life with a 10 day wilderness trip. I love that she says what she is thinking and it just makes her character someone I want to be friends with. #hotmountainman comes in and steals the spotlight for all the right reasons. He truly made my heart melt. This story shared true emotions and I found myself laughing out loud and also brought to tears with an almost shattered heart. The supporting characters thoughout also pull on the heart strings and are so enjoyable, especially Ollie. Sophie Sullivan is a super talent and does it again with a perfect romance feel good. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an early reader copy. Check this out in January 2024!!

'Love, Naturally' by Sophie Sullivan is an absolutely delightful story about the importance of belonging and acceptance, with a cringe worthy premise that unfolds beautifully. The locale in Northern Michigan was lovely and the author created a world and characters that are completely engaging and likeable. I highly recommend this book, and sincerely hope to have more involving the other siblings, Grayson and Jill.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opi9nions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Presley has just gotten dumped by her boyfriend but decides to go on the nature travel excursion (at Get Lost Lodge, ain’t that a great name!?!) that was meant for both of them. Never spontaneous, our Presley surprisingly jumps headlong into a wild fling with Beckett, the nature guide and all around handyman helping his family with the business on the adventure island.

Beckett who comes to be known as the Hot Mountain Man on social media, is also very conscientious and responsible, always the one to carry the load and do the right thing. He’s juggling the options of opening a bike rental business nearby or opening a sporting goods store on the mainland- far away from the island and his family.

They indulge in a torrid affair, sex scenes are implied rather than written but the falling-in-love part is quite overt and magical. But her vacation is almost over. What happens next?

This is the second Sophie Sullivan book I’ve read and loved. Her characters and situations are fun and genuine. And oh so romantic. This is a great read.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely loved this book! It was a super cute quick read that I could not put down. This is the second book I’ve read by Sophie Sullivan and I have loved them book. Love, Naturally is about our main character Presley who thoughtfully surprises her boyfriend with a getaway the the get lost lodge and instead of being excited and grateful they end up breaking up. Now instead of letting the trip go to waste Presley decides to go alone and have a great time by experiencing new things. Presley’s getaway gets even better when she meets Beckett the owner of the lodges brother. This book is released January 16, 2024. Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Sophie Sullivan and Netgalley for an opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.

When Presley shows up for a week long fishing and hiking retreat (originally meant for her and her recently-made-ex-boyfriend), she discovers more than just an escape from her breakup and busy city life. She meets Beckett, brother of the property owner, and ends up finding appreciation and belonging unlike anything she has experienced before. Presley and Beckett have to decide if they should let the vacation fling stay a fling.. or if their relationship is worth a bigger risk.

This was such a fun and heartfelt read! I love a small town romance and I hope we get more novels from the POV of Beckett’s brother, his sister, and Presley’s BFF!

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did, unfortunately. The set up was a great concept, but I didn’t connect with the characters. It was like everything was explained multiple times making it drag on.

Sophie Sullivan has done it again with another fantastic book!!

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. Devastated, she goes on the vacation herself, 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.

Honestly, even though its not marketed as this type of book, its basically love at first sight. There's initial attraction between both Presley and Beckett and like any romance book that attractions grows into something more.

The story has everything a reader would want. Not a long book, 300 or so pages. It's a contemporary romance with hints of love at first sight. A girl trying to get over her ex. A family oriented man. And of course opposites-attract.

I would recommend this book to everyone. You'll love it! Sophie Sullivan is an amazing author.

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

I was so excited to receive this ARC from NetGalley and I think this is my favorite of hers so far. I have only read two, but still. I absolutely LOVE the way Sophie Sullivan writes romance. It's just the right amount of cheesy/hallmark-y without being painful to read and I almost didn't mind the fade-to-black romance. Almost.

It was such a beautifully written love story. These two characters deserved their happily ever after so very much. I hope the author gives us more from this world.

Absolutely fantastic plot! Could not put the book down once I began reading it. Cannot wait for it to be released. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

This book was wonderful! I love the way Sophie writes characters that are so easy to love. Everything about this was cozy and happy, with a good balance of a little struggling and succeeding despite it. I am already so excited that there’s going to be more books in this series (even though this one doesn’t even come out until January!!) I saw Sophie talking on Instagram about how Jillian’s book is next!

Presley is fresh off a breakup and going on the trip she planned for her ex. There she finds quite literally everything she never knew she needed and deserved. She really stumbled upon something she could have never planned for, but it changed everything for her. She meets Beckett and his family at the lodge that they own where she’s staying and she instantly falls in love with everything about the place. Not to mention her and Beckett fall very quick and very hard for each other! Which I loved so much!

I loved Beckett’s story line. He is the family problem solver, and it’s what he’s good at. He’s been cooking up a dream of his for a while, but it’s always in the back burner excuse his family always needs help. But now with the help of Presley, he’s realizing he can still be there for his family and do something different that he’s excited about. And not to mention how supportive his siblings were?? Of course they were! They were always there for each other no matter what!

And Beckett and Presley…they were perfect. He took care of her? He loved her? He put her needs first? Challenged her a little bit? And she encouraged him? About his work? His dreams? She helped his family? She loved his niece?? (Ollie is the star if the show and I literally cannot wait to see her again!) They were exactly what the other needed. And while it’s a little out of this world to fall in love in less than a week, they did it SO well!

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

Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan, published by St. Martin's Press, is a witty and fun read.
Presley Ayers works as concierge at a high end hotel. She's high maintenance as they come and she's not a camping girl at all. Not even glamping will do.

Beckett Keller meets her arriving and he's just stunned. Seeing this woman who doesn't like outdoor-sing at all aming a fool of herself. But pity turns into more and both are somehow drawn to each other.
An opposites attract story, charming, witty and fun and brilliantly told.
