This story was charming, I loved the plot, the complex characters, Beckett and Presley were so adorable together, and I loved Presley's growth through the plot, an entertaining, fun read and sweet, perfect for vacation. I felt at home reading, I never wanted it to end.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I really liked this one! It felt like an old school Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks rom-com. Nothing over the top, feel good, a HEA, opposites attract little romance.

When Presley ends up at "Get Lost Lodge" on a remote part of Lake Michigan - she's prepared to get out of her comfort zone: hiking, fishing, bugs... all things that she would not list as her favourite things: but she's willing to give it a try.

When Beckett helps Presley off a small boat, he doesn't expect to end up entangled with one of the Lodge's guests. But circumstances force them to share a cabin and spend time together. Sparks naturally fly and our duo realize that maybe the other person is exactly what they are missing from their own life.

Both our mains are sweet individuals (sunshine/sunshine), we have a cute supporting cast, and I totally see potentional to return to Get Lost Lodge/ or the town of Smile for more books, if the author decided to make this into a series (Greyson and Jill both deserve their own stories... actually -- so does Adam).

Tropes:
*Opposites attract
*Dual POV
*insta-love (or at least attraction)
*Forced proximity
*Vacation fling
*Slow burn
*Fake dating (ish)

Some parts were a little repetative or came out of left field/ weren't necessary (random thoughts about Beckett's parents? not necessary) - but overall, I really enjoyed myself and thought this was sweet.

Giving this 4 stars. Recommended if Meg and Tom rom-coms are your idea of a good time.

Love, Naturally follows Presley, a hotel concierge who booked her boyfriend his dream vacation for his birthday, ends up getting dumped (jerk!) but decides to go on it on her own. She had no way of knowing that this vacation would lead her to everything she didn’t know she was missing in life. At this outdoorsy lodge, she meets Beckett and as they spend time together, they must decide if this connection is just a vacation fling or something more.

Presley and Beckett both have great character arcs. There was an instant attraction between them that was undeniable. But they also grow as individuals and that makes their romance feel more genuine. He might be the outdoorsy guy in plaid shirts and she’s city girl in high heels, but they complement each other perfectly. We loved the side characters/ other guests that were staying at the lodge, as well as the townspeople we briefly met.

Sophie Sullivan writes cute and sweet romances. Her characters are loveable and you want to root for them. There was so much to love about this book but the found family aspect was a highlight. Please give us books for the rest of the Keller siblings!!!

Love, Naturally is a charming opposites attract romance for anyone that has ever gone outside their comfort zone and took a chance.

What a fun book. I love how to lodge felt like a small town with all kinds of interesting characters. It was bit instalove for me considering she bounced back after her boyfriend didn't come to me. However their relationship was fun and I loved the banter and the inner thoughts!

I loved the nature resort/cabin location, and the family angle was really sweet. I'm hoping this is a new series coming, because all the characters were enjoyable. I liked this much more than the previous trilogy/brothers series. I wanted the characters to end up together as both deserved each other.




I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

I love seeing so many positive reviews and how this book has reached so many people! Unfortunately for me, I just couldn’t connect. I gave it a go, but ultimately DNF. However, just because it wasn’t for me doesn’t mean it’s not for someone else! Very cute premise, just didn’t connect with me. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press and Sophie Sullivan for this advanced copy!

I fell hard and fast for this book. Do you ever start reading a book and it is the exact book you wanted to be reading? That is how I felt about this book. It checked every box for me.

The synopsis: City girl Presley ends up alone on a trip to a remote fishing lodge, where she can’t deny the inexplicable draw to Beckett, the owner’s brother/ lodge staff/outdoors man.

This book is an opposites attract, close proximity, closed door romance that mostly takes place in a 10 day period on a small island. All of the characters are well written and real. I loved the side characters and really really hope some of them get their own books. Presley and Beckett’s chemistry was perfection. I was a puddle of swoon for most of the book. The tension! There is a little fake dating thrown in there and really, I love that trope! I was utterly delighted when it popped up.

This book has all the romance and no drama.

This book is the definition of cuteness. On the surface, Presley and Beckett couldn’t be more different. He loves everything she doesn’t—hiking, fishing, and nature in general. Every romance reader knows, however, that opposites do attract.

Still not sure if you want to read this? Here are some things that I loved about Love, Naturally:
✨Dual POV
✨Small-town romance
✨City girl/mountain boy
✨Instant attraction
✨Wonderful family

Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan is a sweet contemporary romance that had a lot of good feels once I got into the story. It was a little tricky initially since Presley’s boyfriend Emmett left a lot to be desired. Everything centered on him and how she didn’t see he really had no feelings for Presley left a sour taste in my mouth. Emmett’s actions and words were disheartening. The more I heard him speak, the more I was glad Presley broke up with Emmett and ran with her surprise plans for them, even if it took her out of her comfort zone and she was doing it solo.

Once Presley finally got to her destination, there were vivid descriptions of the lodge, cabins, and their surroundings. There are nature and outdoor activities along with lots of social media hashtags, postings, and pictures, and Presley helps put them on the map! The small town of Smile was a hoot with its gossip, activities, and some of the businesses and their owners. I loved Beckett’s family and how they worked together to make a success out of the rundown lodge his brother Grayson got in his divorce settlement. Gray, Beck, Jill, and Ollie are all that Presley wants in a family, and she takes to them immediately. She and Beck have chemistry the moment their paths cross, and it gets better from there. They feel like they have an expiration date as they don’t live geographically close to each other and also come from two different worlds.

There are so many ancillary stories told within the main arc that get woven together nicely. Jill’s young daughter Ollie is always in the thick of things and is a miniature adult—the things that come out of her mouth, at times, are downright hilarious! I loved the vibes between Beck and his family and even with some of the guests at the lodge. There are a lot of layers to the characters as well as the story. There is a good flow, along with laughter and tears. There are some twists and turns, and I loved the ending, along with the closure and the happily-ever-after. I would definitely love to meet up with these characters again!

Love, Naturally is a small town contemporary romance with sweet undertones. Vivid descriptions and interpersonal relationships had me turning the pages to see what they would all be up to next!

I rated the book 4.5 stars but rounded to 5 stars here and on other sites.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun book. I enjoyed it from the very first page!

Love, Naturally follows Presley who books a trip for her boyfriend for his dream vacation for his birthday. Which entails all outdoor activities that Presley isn’t into but knows it’s the perfect gift for him. She thinks he is going to be thrilled about it. Instead he breaks up with her. Presley decides to go on the vacation anyway. She is very out of her comfort zone. But then meets Beckett whose family owns the hotel that she is staying at. Soon they start spending time together with Beckett helping her get out her comfort zone. The two start falling for each other. But there is just one problem Presley is only there on vacation. Will they still fall for each other and find away to make it work or is it just a vacation fling?

I enjoyed this book so much. I have read other books by this author and thought they were just okay. To be honest I thought that this book was going to be a just okay read for me. But this book had me hooked from the start. The one thing that annoyed me was they kept talking about how Presley was a part time influencer. I get that it helped with some of the plot. But like girl get off your phone you are on vacation. I loved how the relationship between Beckett and Presley didn’t feel rushed even though they fell for each other pretty fast. I loved the setting of this book too. I really really liked this one a lot. If you are into really cute romance books I would suggest this one.

Thank you Sophie Sullivan, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

I read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is my favourite Sophie Sullivan novel to date! I think, like Presley, I loved the setting of the novel, and the side characters that made them family. Beckett was a lovely guy too, which made it easier to like him over Emmett.
There wasn't a major drama separating them either, which I appreciated.
I wouldn't have minded an open door scene, but understand that not every reader likes these.
4.5 stars

I really enjoyed that this was a dual POV story - Presley and Beckett are two precious cubs that deserve happiness in each other. I really enjoyed the setting of the Get Loss Resort and Beckett's family: Jill, Ollie and Gray. The negative of this story was the repetitiveness. Dialpuge and conflicts are constantly repeated- every chapter, either Presley or Beckett says, we "only have one week."

Thanks to St. Martin's Press for the eARC.
I absolutely adore Sullivan's romances and look forward to each new one, and I think this might be my favorite yet because she managed to take a trope that I have a hard time with, instalove, and turned it into the most beautiful story of love and found family. The set up of this novel was so fun - Presley taking a trip alone that she planned for her boyfriend, but things didn't quite work how she wanted, This island was so vivid for me. I had an easy time picturing the lodge and cabins and different characters. I thought there was rich character and plot development. I laughed and cried right along with them. This book had great tension and flirting. There's just so much here that I loved, and I am so glad I read it.

This will be a big hit for the girlies who love insta-love! The opposites attract was cute, and having it be dual POV was fantastic! This is definitely a fast-paced read, but it was missing a certain spark that would have bumped it from a 3-star read to a 4-star read.

4.5 stars

Let me start by saying that the official synopsis for Love, Naturally does not do the book justice. In fact, I would not even call the main characters opposites. The fact that the synopsis emphasizes character traits and story elements that are not big plot points is strange. It overlooks all the wonderful things this book has to offer.

Love, Naturally is a charming romance novel about a woman who finally takes a chance on herself. After she surprises her boyfriend of 8 months with a vacation for two, Presley Ayers finds herself dumping him and taking his ideal trip alone. She does not know the first thing about fishing, hiking, or the outdoors, but she is determined to have a good time. Presley finds that and a whole lot more at the Get Lost Lodge.

Love, Naturally is told in dual points of view from both the female and male main characters. Sophie Sullivan really employs this narrative structure well. She uses it to develop her main characters as well as allow readers to know their inner thoughts.

This story takes place over a 10 day vacation; yet, it did not feel like instalove. Sure, the protagonists initially find each other attractive, but they get to know one another before the romance blooms. When you consider how much time they are spending together, this feels like a plausible, organic love story. I also found the plot refreshingly free of melodrama and miscommunication. I am tempted to go into detail about the resolution, but I will not for fear of spoilers. I will just note that the ending is perfection, and I dare you not to swoon over Beckett.

Another part of Love, Naturally that really worked for me was Presley. I thought she was very relatable as a woman who is serious about her career and its growth. In addition, Presley undergoes a lot of personal growth over the course of the book. Regardless, she did not compromise for a man, whether that be her crappy ex-boyfriend or Beckett. Therefore, I found her to be a fresh, unconventional female main character (for a romance novel).

The other aspect of Love, Naturally I would be remiss if I failed to mention is the secondary characters! Beckett’s siblings and niece play a prominent role in the story, as does his hometown of Smile. There are also a few fellow vacationers who become a sort of found family. Together with the plot, these characters helped the novel feel like a big, warm hug. I am really hoping that Sullivan will bring back the secondary characters of Love, Naturally in additional books. I would be very disappointed if she does not since they (along with the town of Smile) carved out a special place in my heart.

As a native Midwesterner, there were a few details that I found inauthentic or knew would never happen. Other than those and a little unnecessary objectification, I did not have any large issues with the book.

Overall, Love, Naturally is an endearing romance novel with a relatable protagonist and great characters. It warmed my soul and even made me tear up a little. I highly recommend this novel and hope the character will appear in future books.

Such a cute romance, perfect for a pallet cleanser. The main characters are funny and interesting, and i love the setting and side characters (perfect for spin of books or sequels if you ask me).

After a few months of reading thrillers and suspense stories, a little romance hug from Sophie Sullivan was exactly what I needed to start this year off right. I’ve been lucky enough to review some of her earlier books and was super excited to get my hands on a copy of Love, Naturally - her newest novel !

This has a little bit for everyone, whether you’re a city girl or a nature boy or anything in-between. Love, Naturally follows Presley - a compulsive planner- as she goes through a breakup and discovers that sometimes the best things happen between the planning. We also meet Beckett, our leading "Hot Mountain Man", who is also discovering that sometimes it’s ok to be a little selfish with your dreams. The two meet and it’s immediate chemistry.

Opposites definitely attract, and the Get Out resort was the perfect backdrop for their budding romance. Add in a charming little town of Smile, some fabulous guests, and a wonderful group of siblings that would do anything for each other and BOOM - we got ourselves a story! 


This was a closed door romance, but I think given the speed of their connection I wasn’t too upset. We do witness a few stolen kisses here and there to fill the smutty void. And, as implausible as their instant connection felt … it also felt .. well … Natural? Normally I like to see a little buildup but I found myself forgetting the timeline for the sake of their connection. 



I appreciated the seamlessness of the dual POV, and somewhere along the middle I ended up rooting for them pretty hard, though sometimes it felt a little TOO hallmarky. 



If you’re looking for an escape from reality, you don’t mind a handsome man taking you on picture perfect dates, and you also think hiking is torture, then I highly recommend this one! 



4 ⭐️ and a great kick off to 2024! 


Thanks NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC.

What a fun read! I really enjoyed Love, Naturally and am excited to have read my first book by Sophie Sullivan. This won’t be the last book I pick up by her for sure! Love, Naturally tells the story of Presley - a successful hotel concierge and city girl through and through. She surprises her boyfriend with an outdoorsy trip of his dreams and instead of showing the excitement she hoped for, he initiates a breakup. Determined not to back down, Presley goes on the trip to Get Lost Resort on her own. Here she meets Beckett and his family, who run the resort, and definitely steps out of her comfort zone.

Presley’s story drew me in from the very beginning. I was super invested in her and Beckett as characters. They were complete opposites, but their chemistry jumped off the page! I loved the island resort as the setting and the overall small-town vibes. It would be amazing to read more from this world! I felt pretty connected to all the side characters as well and would love to read more of their stories. I did have a few issues with the pacing of this novel. Parts of this story felt a little slow to me (even though it only spans a couple weeks overall), while others felt fast or glossed-over. It lent itself to an insta-love feel, which isn’t always my favorite type of love story. Super cute overall though!

Give Love Naturally a read if you like :
▫️Opposites attract
▫️Closed-door romance
▫️Small town / Outdoorsy settings
▫️Found family
▫️Maybe some insta-love vibes

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher St. Martin’s Press Griffin for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Love, Naturally was my first by Sophie Sullivan and I can guarantee it will not be my last! This book was sweet, adventurous and so wholesome! I loved the setting of the lodge and the charming small town of Smile where everyone knew each other (& the community chalkboard was so fun!). All the characters, from the other guests staying at the lodge, the residents of Smile, Presley, Beckett and his family, were so fun and lovable. I loved Beckett's relationship with his family and seeing how they all got to know and love Presley. I really enjoyed following Presley on her journey throughout the book as she pushed herself outside her comfort zone and how she finally got to a spot where she felt like she belonged.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one and rated it 4.5 stars! If you are looking for a sweet, cute and adventurous romance that brings the small town and found family vibes with a great cast of characters and lots of forced proximity, check out Love, Naturally (out January 16)!
