I loved this sweet romance! Sophie Sullivan knows how to sweep you off your feet with her romantic tales. Presley is a hard worker and doesn't get the praise and attention she deserves in her hotel concierge job. And when her so called boyfriend drops the bomb that they are not really an item, she takes off on his birthday trip she planned alone. The trip to do guy things such as fish, hike and bike. She's not prepared for what awaits her.

Siblings Gray, Jill, and Beckett are doing their best to get Get Lost lodge up and running successfully. They have bookings but they need more money and help to get the rest of the grounds up to par to actually allow for more bookings and to earn a living. Beckett has his own dreams but will not step out on family. Add Presley to the mix, and sparks fly and ideas soar. Was this where Presley was supposed to land

Love, Naturally is a very cute romcom. You'll love all the characters (well except one) and fall into their story as they navigate life and love. 5 stars for sure!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC. The opinions expressed are my own.

Presley and Beckett’s relationship was very swoon-worthy. A little bit insta love but they only had ten days together so they had to move fast. I think I needed an illustrated map of the grounds because I did not understand the layout. The secondary characters could have been a bit more distinct, I kept confusing them.

Due to St. Martins Press refusal to address the remarks made by their employee regarding Palestine, I will not be reviewing this book on social media. This in no way has anything to do with the author. But I refuse to support anything from SMP because of their refusal to address a major issue at hand.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨️/5

Synopsis: A city girl takes a leap out of her comfort zone, finds herself immersed in the great outdoors, and meets a hunky mountain man in a small town, with loveable side characters!

Presley and Beckett had an instant love connection, which is not my favorite trope, but I genuinely loved following their journey together! I found it very heartwarming that they both supported each other as they grew into better versions of themselves over the course of the book.

The secondary characters, especially every member of Beckett's family, gave this story that warm hug, cozy vibe feeling. The support this family showed each other reminded me of my brothers and sisters, and I absolutely loved how these characters were written.

While I wouldn't classify this one as spicy, overall I still enjoyed the budding romantic relationship between Presley and Beckett. There's definitely swoon worthy vibes given off by Beckett, the hot mountain man.

I have enjoyed each of Sophie Sullivan’s books that I have read! I was so excited when I got an early copy of this one because it’s her first outside of the Jansen Brothers’ series and I adore that series! I really enjoyed this small town vacation type read. While it was not your typical beach read, and more about finding yourself and helping to save the lodge, there were vacation aspects and trying things out of your comfort zone that brought the characters to life while reading. I loved reading about the lodge and how special this town was to the people who lived there, and how easily Presley seemed to fit in when she arrived. This book was so cute and fluffy and had me swooning over the Hot Mountain Man himself. I love books like this that allow you to escape but also have some really important stories behind them - this one really shows how not settling and finding yourself can lead to a brighter and happier future, and I think that’s so important for readers everywhere. The love story was so moving and I’m so happy I cozied up with this book this weekend. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a romance book that will make your heart happy and quiet fluffy romance that will make you laugh and smile!

I loved this rom-com! Presley is a concierge at a high-end hotel in Great Falls, Michigan who loves shopping and the big city life. When she surprises her boyfriend with a trip to the Get Lost Lodge for a long week of fishing and hiking on the shores of Lake Michigan, and he's less than enthusiastic, she dumps him and goes on the trip without him. There she meets Beckett, who's helping his family renovate the run-down resort they've just inherited and sparks fly!!

I loved the story and all of the supporting characters at the resort. I loved Beckett's family and niece.
The story is told from a dual perspective so we know how they both feel. I love the small town, opposites attract, and found family romance vibe, so this story was perfect for me. I hope this becomes a series to learn more about the other siblings and see them find love.

Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin's, and the author of this ARC

"Love, Naturally" was a cozy-good romance that had a beautiful setting and the most endearing and relatable characters.

Presley is a hotel concierge and social media influencer. She’s passionate about hospitality and has a keen business sense for it. I liked her other passion for finding good deals and the best experiences for others. She’s a planner through and through, raised to be independent and self-sufficient, which has helped her as a reliable and hardworking employee.

Unfortunately, Presley unceremoniously learns that not even the most carefully made plans in life (or love) work out, so she’s determined to make the most of her week-long vacation at Get Lost Lodge and then hopefully move forward stronger and wiser.

I love that the story takes place in Michigan, a state I really want to go to someday because there are a lot of really cool and scenic places to visit. The author makes Get Lost Lodge sound like a wonderful, picturesque getaway.

Get Lost Lodge is owned by Grayson whose siblings, Beckett and Jillian, help him run the place. While not fully operational, there’s plenty to do and good food to eat on the grounds or in the town of Smile on the mainland, which is full of welcoming and wholesome people. I loved the other guests at the lodge and how kind and friendly everyone was; it felt like family. My favorite guest was Mr. Dayton.

Beckett works at a sporting goods store when he’s not helping out at the lodge. He wants more for his life while still being nearby to support his family but is hesitant to make big, harder changes. He and his siblings are close and have always had each other’s backs. For now, his focus has to be on keeping the lodge financially afloat until they’re able to accommodate more guests.

From an instant attraction, a whirlwind romance blossoms fiercely and quickly between Presley and Beckett that could not be ignored. Because Presley’s only staying for a week, they decide to have a temporary fling even though it’s clear they both want more. I liked how they came to discover what that more is and the grand gesture at the end was so adorable.

"Love, Naturally" was an enjoyable staycation read with a sweet romance and a cast full of lovable characters.

Love, Naturally follows Presley just off of a breakup with her boyfriend. She goes ahead solo on a couples trip that she planned as a surprise for her then boyfriend. Presley experiences insta-attraction and romance with Beckett, who runs the place with along with his family.

Through a series of events, Beckett and Presley experience forced proximity and even a pinch of fake dating as they embark on a romance during Presley's trip.

I enjoyed Beckett and Presley. The moments they had together were the best part of the book. Though, I also really enjoyed Beckett’s niece, Ollie. She definitely was a scene stealer.

The larger story outside of the romance didn’t quite capture me, but if you enjoy a small town romance, you’ll want to check out Love, Naturally!

Holy cow that was a ride! This fast paced story makes me feel like a kid a summer camp again. Those fast summer flings that you know are just for fun. Well that what Presley and Beckett thought but what would a flight be doing in a romance novel! This great story has the romantic ending we all want!!

This was too cute! I have been lucky enough to receive a few arcs from Sophie Sullivan and each one just hits so well. I would really like this author to get more attention because her stories are poignant and well written, and the romance plus internal arcs always make me think and swoon at the same time. Definitely check out this book !

At first I thought this was going to be a typical urban woman out of her element in a rural setting. There is some of that, but what makes this an exceptionally sweet and enjoyable story is that the characters go beyond the cliches for that sort of story. Presley is sweet and eager to try new things and make new friends. And Beckett, the hunky brother of the lodge’s owner might help her forget her obnoxious Ex. The characters are charming and engaging. I look forward to seeing the story for Beckett’s brother and sister. They deserve their own stories.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

The title of this book fits the story absolutely perfectly. Love, Naturally is genuinely a fun romance read.

Presley thought everything in her life was going almost the way she wanted it. Her job as a personal concierge made it so that she could get people the things that she wanted. By nature, she’s a pleaser, and her job made her even more so detailed about it. But somehow she missed the details. When a surprise she planned for her boyfriend goes in a completely different direction. As Presley reveals that she had planned a trip for him the situation takes a complete turn and they end up breaking up. Instead of wallowing in her misery, she steps out of her city girl, comfort zone, and decides to take on the wild outdoors of Michigan on her own.

Beckett is a man of the outdoors. He’s loyal to his family and dedicates a lot of his time to helping his brother get the lodge into complete working order. He also has a few dreams of his own and an opportunity that’s kind of hard to say no to. Things change for Beckett when I guest at the lodge, a woman who caught his eye on the fairy, has an issue with her room, and he gives up his cabin for her to have a warm place to sleep. That simple invitation opened up a whole New World that Beckett didn’t realize he needed.

Love, Naturally was truly a fun read. I love seeing the city girl take on the outdoors. When she said that she was stepping out of your comfort zone it’s something she truly did. Presley needed this experience to truly figure out what she wanted in her head. Sometimes one thing that we think that makes us happy is not our true happiness until we experience something that we didn’t even realize with syncing to our hearts. Beckett, my goodness what a swoony man. His heart was in the right place with everything And he definitely knew how to catch your heart as well. They are truly a pair that complement one another in the best ways. In a matter of a few days, they found a way to help one another, help themselves and find a way to make their worlds just a little bit better.

I have really loved Sophie Sullivan's past novels so I was really excited to know that another was coming out. However, this one was a little too predictable and a little too unrealistic.

Found family is something that I absolutely love in books but I struggled to embrace how quickly the found family took to each other. I appreciated the growth of the relationships of the characters & how they worked through the conflict.

Overall, I was a quick & enjoyable read - but not my top fave.

Thank you to St Martins Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I got this book, it was a great love story! Presley is a concierge at a fancy hotel in Michigan. After she breaks up with her boyfriend she takes the trip she had planned for him, only to find Beckett Keller and his family at the Get Lost Lodge. Not only does she help them with her hotel/marketing knowledge she falls in love with Beckett. She's only there for a week though, is it possible to make it work? I'm not telling, you'll have to read it for yourself!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher.

Love Naturally by Sophie Sullivan, is an enjoyable, emotional, small town, insta-love story. When Presley plans a vacation surprise for her boyfriend everything goes as wrong as possible; so she ends up at a fishing resort alone. She fully expects to feel sorry for herself, watching rom-coms and eating lots of chocolate, but finds that the family and guests at the resort are a true gift. Presley meets Beckett who is helping his brother and sister with this lodge. The connection between Presley and Beckett is sweet, electric, and develops quickly. Presley takes on things she has never done before and challenges herself, as she learns so much about herself along the way.

The supporting characters are perfection, the town is a lot fun, and the setting provides the perfect balance to the story. I loved Beckett’s brother Greyson, sister Jill, and want to see them find love too. Then there’s Ollie his niece who is old beyond her years and adds depth, humor, so much more to the story. I recommend Love Naturally to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A sweet romance with well developed characters. Really enjoyed the pace and attention to detail of this sweet closed door romance.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for access to this arc.


I had initially tagged Love, Naturally “fish out of water” and I suppose the tag fits to a degree but really, Presley fits in so well at the lodge and in Smile and her own desires are are about belonging and family than bright lights and the big city so I didn’t really ever feel Presley didn’t belong or would be unhappy staying.

Perhaps because of a preconception about what the book might be like (and possibly wishful thinking, who can say) I was also expecting more steam. Love, Naturally is not steamy. There are some hot kisses but what happens after that stays off the page and is protected by a moat and portcullis. I read plenty and across the spectrum of steam levels. One of my favourite books from last year was Hello Stranger by Katherine Center. Center writes a similar steam level and I barely noticed. I’ve been trying to put my finger on why I felt the lack of steam in this book but not others. I’m not sure I can articulate it but it just seemed to me like a book which should have had more heat and didn’t. I’m not sure if that makes sense.

Apart from Emmett, just about everybody in Love, Naturally is lovely – friendly, kind, generous and talented in one way or another. There is little by way of conflict. Presley fits in with the Kellers so well it’s not a surprise where things end up. Perhaps because of that and maybe that lack of heat, I found the book to be somewhat lacking in tension. I liked it but I didn’t find it compelling.

For readers looking for a low-conflict, fairly gentle story though it’s an enjoyably safe bet.

Wow! I’m mad that I had this on my shelf for so long before reading. I was not expecting to love this book so much. This book is a five star read for me! I loved Beckett and Presleys relationship from the beginning till the end. Beckett was so caring and sweet and Presley was so supportive and understanding. I also really loved the found family with Beckett’s family and lodge guests. The small town vibes in the book made this book such a cozy ready. The author created such a cozy atmosphere with the lodge and small town. I ate it all up. This is closed door but that hot tub scene got me feeling hot. Also, loved the card game scene such a cute way for the characters to learn more about each other. Overall, I would highly recommend this book for those looking for a sweet and cozy romance.

Opposites definitely attract in this strangers to lovers romance set at a family run lodge near the small town of Smile. If you like found family, sweet closed door/fade to black romance with some self discovery mixed in, this book is for you!

Presley Ayers, who usually knows more about fancy hotels than camping, plans a surprise camping trip for her boyfriend. When he breaks up with her instead, Presley decides to go on the camping adventure by herself to the Get Lost Lodge. At the lodge, she meets Beckett Keller, a guy helping his family to get the lodge back to its original beauty, even if it means putting his own dreams on hold. Despite their different lifestyles, there's a mysterious connection between them. It's like opposites attract—Presley with her luxury tastes and Beckett with his rugged lodge life. The camping trip turns into a surprising journey of self-discovery and unexpected romance.

I really loved the characters in this one! Ollie is the niece of Beckett, and she is like a little adult and the things she says are so funny! The family dynamic between Beckett, Gray and Jilly is heartwarming and the way they make Presley feel like she belongs, along with the rest of the guests make them family goals for sure.

This was a cute romance. I loved the location. It was a great reminder that relationships are work but it should not be one person always conforming to the others wants. There needs to be balance and compromise. The bike scene and this quote are my favorite. "It took Presley less than a half hour to realize riding a bike in her thirties did not produce the whimsy and freedom she’d felt as a child. It did not feel the same either. Why do people do this? Hard seat that had no business being called a cushion, hunched over to reach the bars . . . this couldn’t be good for a person." LOL. So true.
