I was provided both the ALC and ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own. Than you to St. Martins Press/St. Martin's Griffin and RB Media/Recorded Books for providing me with advanced copies of the book in both formats. I have really come to enjoy reading along with the audiobook when I get the opportunity. The narrator did a great job keeping me engaged

This was a super sweet second chance, small town romance. Jillian Keller, aka Jilly has been in love with Levi since high school. He left their small town of Smile to chase his dreams of becoming a chef and working in a big time fancy restaurant and while he had feelings for her, he didn't want to lead her on. He was also friends with her older brothers and didn't want to break the "bro code". Fast forward into the future, Jilly is a divorced single mom and helping to run a small lodge with her brothers. She is cautious about everything in her life but overly so when it comes to love after her failed marriage. She has alot on her plate with the lodge's summer opening looming and some new offerings on the way to bring in new clients. She doesn't have time for a new relationship when Levi reenters her life, but everything happens for a reason.

Levi has returned home to help out with the family construction business when his dad needs routine surgery. There is a rift between father and son that needs mending due to Levi leaving town to pursue his dreams and not taking over the family business. Naturally feelings were hurt, but Levi wants nothing more than to mend this fence and reestablish himself in his home town. He achieved his goal to become a successful chef, and now more than ever he knows that the small town life is what he wants. He also wants to explore that spark he has always felt for Jilly, so when an opportunity to cook at the lodge and spend more time with her opens up he jumps at the chance to show her how great they can be together and that he isn't going anywhere.

I really loved this. Levi and Jilly were really cute together, they kept their relationship playful while dealing with real life situations. They passed notes to one another like teenagers to keep things fun, while building up the trust needed for something concrete. It is very low spice, there are some intimate scenes, but they are fade to black and not very descriptive. I appreciated that Jilly got to explore her feelings of inadequacy in a relationship and fears about a new relationship as a single mom on her own terms. She had real conversations with Levi and the conversation she had with her mom were really great to help her overcome her objections and find love again.

This is the 2nd book in the Rock Bottom series, but it does read as a complete standalone. I have not read the 1st book in the series which centers around Jilly's brother Beckett and girlfriend Presley. They are side characters in this book, and I'll be picking Love, Naturally soon as I want to know everything about their love story! This is also my first book by the author, but it will not be my last!

I love a good second-chance romance, and this one was a pleasant read! Jilly and Levi were likable, and their romance was sweet. I also really enjoyed the small-town setting—it had that cozy, charming feel I always appreciate in stories like this. Levi’s relationship with his father was a standout for me. It felt realistic, and I liked that it wasn’t resolved in just one conversation like so many other conflicts in the book.

That said, I wish the romance had been more of a slow burn. Their relationship moved really fast, and I would’ve liked to see them take more time to truly reconnect. The lack of communication between them was also frustrating at times, which made some of their conflicts feel unnecessary.

I also had mixed feelings about the side characters. They were okay, but none of them really stood out, and I struggled to keep track of all the new names being introduced. The town itself was quaint and had potential, but it felt a bit overcrowded with too many characters too soon.

This was a cute, easy read that I had fun with, even if it didn’t blow me away. If you’re in the mood for something lighthearted and sweet, this might be worth picking up!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is the second book in the series, and it stands well on its own. The story follows the 'second chance at love' trope, which is always a favorite. Levi and Jillian basically grew up together as he was best friends with her older brothers. He leaves town after high school graduation, but comes back 15 years later to help care for his ailing father. Sparks fly when they meet again, and of course, they have their happily ever after.

I enjoyed getting to know them better, and meeting more folks from Smile and the Get Lost Lodge. It's very low spice (closed door), but still an interesting enough story to keep readers captivated. Definitely worth the read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't know this was a second book in a "series" per se when I started this book and hadn't read the first. However, it did not impede my understanding of the story or the characters. But, I really want to read the first book now!

This sweet story focuses on Jilly, a divorced single mother who is living with her parents while raising her daughter and working with her brothers at their lodge/resort. I really loved the setting on the Island of Smile in Michigan. It was the cutest little town that I wish was real so I could visit!

Jilly has given up on love and is just focused on being a mom and her jobs. But, then her childhood crush returns home and all the feelings she had for him come flooding back. To her shock, he has feelings too and they start a relationship. Jilly is struggling with letting him in and then really struggles when her daughter starts to get close to him as well. This is a really enjoyable story with lovable characters and a happy ending. I definitely recommend and look forward to more books by this author.

Small town, everybody knows everybody vibes radiate throughout the pages of GET LOST WITH YOU by Author Sophie Sullivan. Childhood friends with secret crushes on one another both return to their hometown and suddenly sparks are flying. One leaves behind a successful career as a New York City chef and the other is looking for a new beginning with her young daughter after a messy, ugly divorce.

Jilly and daughter, Ollie, return to Smile to live and work on her brother's resort, Get Lost Lodge. She fights her attraction to Levi who's now accepted a job as the lodge's chef. Levi has returned home in hopes of mending his broken relationship with his dad which appears to be hopeless. However, it doesn't take Levi long to know he wants the woman and her adorable daughter in his future, but Jilly is reluctant to enter another relationship after having been burned badly by her cheating ex-husband. As Jilly and Levi are forced into close proximity, all the warm, fuzzy feelings explode into a sizzling inferno, but Jilly still refuses to let her guard down while continuing to hold Levi at arm's length. Can he convince her that he's sincere and hopelessly in love with her and Ollie?

Author Sophie Sullivan has delivered another low angst, small town, second chance romance in spades. The characters are well-developed and likable, and I find it a nice change of pace that the hero falls first or at least acknowledges to himself that he's in love first. While the pace is a little slow, I enjoyed the journey as the pair spend time together before declaring forever and ever love. It feels more realistic, and an adorable child added an element of cuteness and a few laughs to the mix. Highly recommended to fans of small-town romance.

This felt rushed throughout. The romance between Levi and Jillian developed at warp-speed and while I understand the premise of childhood crush to lovers, the pace was hard to swallow. The conflict teased with Jillian's ex seemed like it was building to something significant but it fizzled out with a whimper. Overall, I was very excited about this book, because I liked the first one, but this was unmemorable, albeit inoffensive.

I got about halfway through the book, but I could not bring myself to finish it. The downfalls of being a mood reader. I will give this book another try at a later date but as of right now, I don't see myself coming back to this anytime soon. I'm sure this book will be well received by others though as it had promise.

I enjoyed reading Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan. You will fall in love with all the characters. I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely. Happy Reading!

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for my gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Sophie Sullivan books are comfort reads for me.

Despite knowing each other most of their lives, Julian and Levi never dated in high school, despite having feelings for each other. They reunite when Levi returns home to help his family as his father recovers from surgery. Now that they are adults, they can’t seem to stay away from one another. I loved their easy rapport and how their friendship easily slipped into more. I adored how much Levi cared for her daughter, Ollie. I love being back at Jillian’s family’s resort and seeing Presley and Beckett.

This was a little quick for me, but I still really enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Allyson Morgan. I can’t wait for a third book in the series!

This was a fun, feel good, slow burn-ish romance. I loved the small town setting and how close all the siblings are to each other. The writing was a good pace and it had great witty banter. Which kept me laughing. Our MC's Jilly and Levi had good flow and were great suppourts to each other. Especially when it came to communications skills. You just don't see that often enough in romances. The chemistry did seem a little lacking to me though. That said it was still an enjoybale read. I have the first book in the series in physical copy that I will be picking up soon.

4 stars ⭐️ This is a sweet and cozy romance book! Thank you Sophie for giving us this book on Valentine’s week! It was a quick and easy read with a happy ending!

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

I am not usually a massive fan of second-chance romance but this book did it so well. The small-town vibes just make it for me and brothers friend??? Sign me up!

Sweet rom com! Levi moves back to his hometown after chasing his culinary dreams. He is ready to settle for a simple life. He and Jillian run into each other soon after he returns and their old teen crush comes back to life. They soon entangle their lives and pursue a relationship. There are a few bumps but mostly a low drama sweet fun romance

If you're looking for a sweet romance with second-chance vibes I would definitely add this one to your radar.

Liam was best friends with Jillian's brother and was always around while they were growing up. They both had feelings for each other but neither realized how the other felt, and they grew up and went their separate ways. Jillian comes home to Smile, Michigan which sounds like a super adorable place to live (even more so because I am also in Michigan) A few years later Liam comes home, and from the moment they run into each other, the sparks are flying.

I really liked the characters from our MCs whose POV we alternate reading from, and all the secondary characters that really brought the town to life. I loved their romance how it unfolded, and how Liam interacted with Jillian's daughter. From start to finish I was sucked into the story, and since this is the first book I've read by this author I will be going back and reading more.

Get Lost with You is the second novel in the Rock Bottom Love series. This story follows a divorced single mom Jillian Keller who lives in her hometown of Smile, Michigan with her daughter and helps her brother run Get Lost Lodge. Her relationship with her ex-husband, Andrew, who is their daughter, Ollie’s, father, is complex. It also follows chef Levi Bright who comes back home to Smile to care for his dad after his surgery. Jillian and Levi slowly build their connection in their low angst journey. The lower stakes make this story a nice cozy romance read where the reader can take their time to get to know the two main characters and witness their relationship develop.

Jillian is going through her journey of learning to trust again as she navigates a complex relationship with her ex-husband while raising their daughter. On the other hand, Levi has a strained relationship with his father that he is trying to rebuild. While the two characters are going through emotional journeys, I wish that the novel would have delved deeper into them. The two characters did have great chemistry, and I enjoyed their romantic journey, however, I just wanted a little more from the individual journeys. Overall, this was a fun read, and I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, St. Martin’s Griffin, for the opportunity to read this entertaining novel. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.**

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. The opinions written are completely honest and my own.

A cozy book to read during the crazy cold weather we have been having, sadly I read it in a night. Although it is the second book in a serie , this book stands on its on own just fine.

The characters are likeable and the only word I can think of to subscribe the book is cute

3.49

I am wholeheartedly against reading books out of order and when the female protagonist Jilly mentions early on that her brother and his girlfriend met “through a strange set of circumstances” without much, or really any further explanation, I knew I was walking into an existing series. Unfortunately, the one preceding book, “Love, Naturally” was not available to me, and since I had promised to read and review the new book by the rapidly-approaching release date, I did my breathing exercises and plowed on.

This is a sweet rom-com, and if you were looking for a slow-burn, fraught, drawn-out romance, you won’t really find it here. Most of my nervousness was about things that I anticipated rather than what actually happened. Ollie, as with most only-child characters in books it seems, is remarkably adorable and adept. The biggest annoyance was really that local breakfast diner owner was supposedly celebrating his 30th year in business, but the collection of treasures that represented his career were classic diner fixtures like it was Arnold’s or the Frosty Palace of the 1950s and 60s. If they hadn’t talked about social media, I would have thought this was not quite modern day.

I guess that is one of the takeaways: the settings and story, not to mention the very much glossed-over “romantic” scenes, are somewhat in the spirit of the past. Levi and Jilly are sweet and not too annoying (usually at least one behaves like an cringe-worthy idiot), so if that’s your type of romcom and you have read the first or don’t mind jumping into a second, this is probably for you. Besides, who among us wouldn’t like to think that a childhood crush, especially the friend of an older sibling, didn’t pine for us as much as we did for them?

I assume there will be a third book about the third sibling since the theme of the three siblings is mentioned constantly.

Thank you to Sophie Sullivan, NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a free advanced copy of this book for my unbiased review.

To start, big thank you St Martins Press for the eARC of this book! I am a big Sophie Sullivan fan so I was stoked to get an early copy.

Sadly, this one wasn’t for me. While Get Lost With You had a sweet premise and a promising start, it fell flat due to a lack of conflict and emotional depth.

Jilly was a great lead character - I loved her role as a mom and really wish we had gotten more of her backstory. Levi was also a solid love interest, but (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) he was too easy. He was 100% all-in with Jillian from the start, without a moment’s hesitation or doubt. It left me craving more tension and uncertainty in their relationship.

The story would have benefited from a stronger "will they/won’t they" element or by giving more weight to the existing subplots. Jill’s ex had the potential to bring some much-needed drama, and Levi’s strained relationship with his dad felt like an afterthought rather than a real hurdle for his character.

At times, it felt more like a spoof of a romance, with corny moments that had me cringing...especially for a book releasing so close to Valentine’s Day! I will give credit where it’s due: the story offers hope for rekindling childhood crushes and finding love after a divorce. There were definitely some sweet, heartwarming moments but they weren't enough to sway me.

Turns out, after all my complaining about wanting characters to just talk to avoid drama... I actually missed the drama!

If you're looking for a book that is calm and low-stakes then look no further than Get Lost With You. While I didn't read the previous book in this series, I feel that this book can be read as a standalone.

Jilly runs into Levi who has recently moved back to their small town and sparks immediately fly as the two reconnect. Levi is trying to find his place in Smile, while Jilly is leery to get back out there after how her previous marriage ended.

The story is sweet but I found it kind of boring. Levi and Jilly are cute together but there was no angst or tension between the two. Levi moved back and bam, insta love. Which, to be fair, they had crushes on each other as kids, but nothing had happened between the two of them until they were adults. It didn't feel realistic to me. There was more tension between themselves and their families than with each other.

I did appreciate how each character was straight forward with each other and made it clear what they wanted.

If you want a nice pallet cleanser with a low-stakes, sweet story then you will probably enjoy this one.

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