Thank you St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the eARC of Love, Naturally! All opinions in this review are my own.

While the romance between Presley and Beckett was just okay, what I liked the most about this romance was the setting! I would absolutely love to vacation to Get Lost Lodge! I continued reading this romance more for the renovation of the cabins than the actual romance. I think what threw me off right from the start was that Presley (who is supposed to be on vacation) is willing to stay in a cabin with a strange man when Beckett could have easily just stayed with his sister. Overall, not my favorite Sophie Sullivan romance, but I hope she writes more set at the Get Lost Lodge!

This is a cute novel, but it fell flat. As I've said before and will say again, if you're going to use words like "fuck" in your novel, include insta-love, and then make it a closed door romance, you're going to alienate half of your readers.

I am a big fan of Sophie Sullivan and this was no exception! This book was cute and adorable and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!

I DNF this at 17%. will not review any further due to the ongoing Speak Up SMP boycott on social media

This is my third Sophie Sullivan book and, of the three, my second favorite. I'd recently read another big city vs. local townie in a small town romance which I LOVED, so I recognize my thoughts are probably overshadowed by that. However, I did enjoy this fun, adventurous book!

I think the main relationship was thoughtful, emotional and not just based on spice, like some romance books are; you get the more tender side of people being vulnerable with each other. I also love a big city girl being forced to experience the wild and outdoorsy activities - it gives the nicer version of Meredith Blake on the infamous Parent Trap camping trip, honestly, and I love it!

I think the biggest win in this book is the found family and secondary characters; they are not just there, but feel like whole characters that truly add to the main plot and relationship.

This was a lovely romance. When Presley's boyfriend ungratefully rejects going on the birthday trip she planned with him, she dumps him and goes on the trip by herself. There, she meets Beckett, and while they are instantly attracted to each other, they don't want to overstep boundaries as she is a guest at Beckett's family's fishing report. Sparks fly irrespectively and when she accidentally turns Beckett viral and his video starts to trend, she fills the spot of his "girlfriend". The fake relationship turns real, but will they last once the vacation ends?

I made a TikTok about it. I did it a long time ago just forgot to update here. I'm sorry. but it was a wonderful book and I really loved the development of it.

I had high hopes for this and wanted to love this book. It’s a small town, opposites attract romance. The FMC was annoying. I didn’t like her personality. At all. The book was very clean with zero spice. This would likely be a hit for people who enjoy closed door romances but for those who enjoy spice, this falls short.

I loved this book! I adore books about small towns with fun side characters and this book definitely delivered. I would love to see a whole series of books set in Smile. I can see several possibilities! I loved this sweet romance and it was a quick and fun read.

What a fun opposites attract read! Sophie Sullivan manages to tie together a tale where I can truly see them getting past their differences to fall in love

Love, Naturally sold me with its cover. I will say that Presley did not show up for camping looking like this, but this was her inside attitude. Sophie Sullivan gives us a great opposites-attract romance. They also throw in cute family members and funny guests. The adventures had by Presley and Beckett run true to life and aren’t anything outrageous. The romance works as do the solutions offered in the story.

If you want to kick off your summer with a trip from your couch or bed, then Love, Naturally is an easy way to do this.

I thought this was a really fun romance read! It was very much a popcorn read in that it was quick to read and I didn't have to do a lot of thinking while I was reading it. Presley was a really great character. It was so much fun getting to see her step out of her comfort zone and the more she stepped out of it, the more she learned about herself. She really grew over the course of the novel which made her relationship with Becket seem more real and believable. Sometimes when characters are fresh out of a relationship I have trouble getting behind them being in a new relationship so quickly, but I didn't feel that way about Presley. I brought my rating down from 5 stars to 4 stars because I didnt love the third act, but I very much enjoyed this book overall!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Love Naturally was a charming story of a city girl and small town boy. Presley plans a perfect trip for her current boyfriend to rekindle their relationship, only for him to breakup with her before the flight. She decides to still enjoy the trip to the best of her ability, only to be surprised by Beckett.

Even though we just saw Presley end her relationship, I was absolutely cheering for her to start one with Beckett.

Their relationship develops slowly and their story is filled with adventures (hiking, bike rides, fishing - oh my!), hotel renovations, and exploring dream jobs. It was slow at times, but overall an enjoyable story!

Presley has never been an outdoorsy person, nor does she see herself as a nature-loving individual. But that's exactly where she finds herself after booking a surprise vacation at a lodge for her then boyfriend so they could experience nature together. Things don't go as planned and they end up breaking up, but Presley decides to go on the trip anyway. After a rocky start to the vacation, she meets Beckett, who is a part of the family that owns the lodge. Beckett is working hard to help his family keep the lodge running, but he has his own dreams. With Presley coming into his life, those dreams might just become a reality. These two couldn't be more opposites, with Presley being more of a city girl and Beckett embracing the outdoors. But the pull these two have for each other and the attraction they feel is undeniable.
I enjoyed this charming, closed door romance with likable and endearing characters. I also liked the fact that the story was told in dual POV because the story is always so much better when you are able to know the thoughts of both characters. A delightfully sweet story that I am happy to have had the opportunity to read.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a complimentary copy. This is my voluntary review.

I loved this book! It was a small-town romance which is my vibe. It is written in a Dual POV which I believe adds to the story tremendously. This was a great quick read!

I enjoyed this small town romance but even though I had a good time, this book was a little boring. It was forgettable. I cannot remember a single detail.

Take a trip to Smile, Michigan through a heartwarming opposites attract romance that I could not put down. The main characters are easy to care about and the supporting characters add so much to the story.

Told through the dual points of view of Presley and Beckett. The readers are treated to a believable insta love story and a wonderful family dynamic between Beckett and his family. Presley is an extremely likable character that finds herself on a solo vacation that is out of her comfort zone. A secluded rustic resort is not her dream vacation but she is determined to make the most of it. She meets Beckett on the ferry to the island resort. Neither Presley or Beckett can deny the draw they have to each other and as circumstances changed they are thrown together in unexpected ways.

I love the way Sophie Sullivan pulls readers into the world that she creates. If I could visit Get Lost Resort I definitely would book a trip. He characters are always relatable and the situations are believable. The addition of the Keller family added a fantastic dynamic to this already captivating storyline.

I highly recommend escaping to Get Lost Resort with Presley where your heart will be warmed by the end of this fantastic book.

I am grateful to St Martin's Press and Netgalley for the opportunity to read a digital copy of this heartfelt book for review. All the opinions in this review are my own.

This story was very cute. I don't have anything bad to say about the plot itself. I loved seeing the main female character navigate small town life and falling in love with the guy that she got off on the wrong foot with. Their romance was so sweet. The only qualm I have is that I personally do not enjoy closed door romances. This is definitely going to make its way into my public library for patrons that enjoy that type of thing. I listen to the audiobook.

This was my first experience reading a Sophie Sullivan book and I found myself utterly charmed. It was so easy to like Presley right from the start by the way she was introduced as perpetually underappreciated by everyone but her BFF. So naturally– no pun intended– I wanted to see this sweet girl get a win.

Speaking of sweet, this is mostly a closed door romance, but it worked well for me because Presley and Beckett spent so much time getting to know each other. I do think the description makes Presley seem a lot more prissy than she is. In fact, she is completely willing to step out of her comfort zone and try new things, even though outdoor sporting pursuits are not her thing. But in that regard, this is still an opposites attract romance, although Presley and Beckett realize that they have a lot more in common than they expected.

Even though this is the first book in a series, it felt like the second or third book. There was clearly a lot going on with Beckett’s siblings’ backstories, and even though they were fleshed-out, I still felt as though I was late to the party. That said, I would love to see Beckett’s two siblings get books of their own.

I would recommend Love, Naturally. It’s always nice to have books where characters get exactly what they deserve, and that Presley was able to find an outlet where her considerable talent would be truly appreciated. I am looking forward to reading more from Sullivan in the future.



I received a digital ARC of this book from St. Martin’s/NetGalley.

Oh what a great story! Emmet is a loser and I love that she takes the trip by herself. Clearly she is under appreciated on so many fronts. She ends up so out of her comfort zone yet finds a delightful lodge in need of her media skills. This book has so many great characters. Not to mention the mountain man! This was a book I was so glad I took the time to read.
