Sophie Sullivan is just so good at telling a heartfelt story. I adore how she makes her characters feel so real, raw and flawed and so full of love. This book is just what we all need after we have our heartbroken by an idiot boy!

I smiled so many times reading this book. It felt like a hallmark movie but better. I absolutely loved the story and the characters and the hope you feel throughout the entire book. It was such a feel good read.

Beckett and Presley are so good together and have the cutest relationship. I love that they are able to build each other up and become each others person.

Such a cute and fun read!

This is a cute sweet “hallmark-esque” romcom. It’s probably not one I would should from the rooftops about but if you are looking for a sweet palate cleansers these kinds of stories are great for that.

My Thoughts

Presley Ayers gives 100% to not only her job but of herself to those close to her.

That’s been true for years but now it’s time for Presley Marie Ayers to go a step further and make a decision about life going forward after finding out that the man she had invested time and effort in a relationship with, Emmett, was not as good a fit for her after all.

City girl fish out of water story that hits all the best examples for why someone should have an open mind about their own selves and expectations for what’s best for their future.

Presley has always been able to plan ahead but this time she has to rethink what really is important for the way she can make the best decision for not only herself but others who have shown there’s always been something missing, someone who has been missing to be exact.

The people who not only notice what she contributes but also the ones who see her for who she really is rather than who they want her to be are right there at the Get Lost lodge, if only Presley had the confidence that the one who matters most to her felt the same way.

Either way her future plan is no longer as alluring as it was before meeting Beckett Keller.

What can I say sometimes what we want doesn’t end up being what we need and so happy Presley finally understood that for herself.

A slow build romance at times and yet a fast-track love from very beginning for the characters, the settings, the experience of following along as story unfolds was fun as well as emotional at all the right times.

Good summer read.

On every book read as soon as it is done and written up for review it is posted on Goodreads and Netgalley, once released then posted on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles as well.

This definitely read like a hallmark movie which was good and bad. I liked the characters. My favorite was definitely Becket. He was such a sweet guy !

I didn’t like how each day lasted forever. I was halfway threw the book and it was only day two of Presley being in the lodge ! This made it a slow read for me. It was also really repetitive. It would repeat the same thing over again. I also found some of the dialogue cringy. Especially when Becket used “hashtag “.

I did love the found family aspect. I could feel for Presley for just wanting to have a family that cared about her and loved her. I’m glad she found it!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Super cute book and good read. It takes place in a small town, which I always love, and Ollie was such. I also loved how the conflict of the books was not super stressful. I found myself chuckling and tearing up in this book. I can’t wait to read another one of her books!

Once again amazing book, love the story and how it develops, both characters are very relatable and fun. Sophie always envelope me with her words .

Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan is an opposites-attract romance and the story of Presley and Beckett.
 
Presley is such an amazing and loving person, and she organized a little getaway for her boyfriend. But he was a complete idiot, and she ended up going alone. She is a city girl through and through and this trip gets her out of her comfort zone. I really loved that, and she tried so many new things and ended up seeing the appeal in nature and being off grid. She is a pro at social media and hospitality and was another fantastic aspect.
 
Beckett helps his siblings to build up the Get Lost Lodge on Lake Michigan. I absolutely love this setting and I would love to visit the Get Lost Lodge as well. Beckett is such a hardworking and family-oriented man and I adore him. He is later known as the Hot Mountain Man, and I can totally see why Presley fell in love with him.
 
Presley and Beckett were opposite attracts and neither of them was looking for love, but they ultimately found it. They are such a cute and power couple, and I loved them together. The sparks between them are scorching hot and I was rooting for them from the beginning. Because of the lodge setting there weren’t many distractions and so they could truly get to know each other.
 
Overall, Love, Naturally is one of my new favorite romances and I absolutely love this book. 5 stars.

I loved this book. It was sweet, fun and had great supporting characters. The family, love, camp and small town setting were perfect. Another hit by Sophie Sullivan

Overall, I really enjoyed Love, Naturally. It was a really cute closed door romance. I enjoyed both Presley and Beckett’s characters, and admired all of their moments together throughout the story. Although I don’t particularly enjoy the insta love trope, I still thoroughly enjoy this cute little rom com.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

This is a classic rom-com. It's a feel good story about the main character finding herself after a breakup, set in a small town. It's nothing to write home about but it's a good palette cleanser.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

Standard rom com fare, with decent writing. Nothing to hate here, but I didn’t love it either. Particularly, I was thrown by the “insta-love” plot line which felt deeply unrealistic and took away from the rest of the story. Otherwise uplifting and cute.

Fun story set in Michigan - loved the setting! Cute characters that you root for. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

3.5 stars!

It's a delightful and endearing romance with a classic opposites-attract theme, featuring a dose of instant love and some behind-closed-doors romantic moments.

The story kicks off with Beckett offering a helping hand to Presley as she steps off a shaky boat onto Lodge property. It's immediately clear that she might have made a big mistake by choosing this destination. Despite her lack of enthusiasm for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and just being in nature, she finds herself on this adventure. Beckett, on the other hand, is dealing with his own set of challenges, including the declining state of the lodge and his unrealized dreams.

The overall vibe of the story is warm and uplifting, with a good balance of hurdles and triumphs. However, the one aspect that didn't quite resonate with me was the lightning-fast and deep love that developed between Beckett and Presley. Their connection seemed to ignite instantly, which was a bit hard for me to fully connect with.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an early ARC of this book. All opinions are my own!

A delightful, wholesome read that will have you wanting to book your next adventure!

Presley had just broken up with her ex when she decides that she is going to go on the trip she originally planned for him in the great outdoors. Even though she is the ultimate city girl, Presley discovers that stepping outside her comfort zone–with the help of a certain Hot Mountain Man–might just be what brings her the *comfort* she's been looking for all along.

• picturesque small town
• tight community
• forced proximity (something goes wrong with her room at the lodge, so she "has" to stay with him!)
• opposites attract
• insta attraction + love
• low conflict/drama
• closed door

Love, Naturally is a heartwarming story about found family and finding love, acceptance, and home in the most unlikely place.

Thank you, St. Martin's Press, for the ARC!

This book was an absolute delight! Sophie has an incredible talent for crafting characters that are effortlessly endearing. The entire story exuded warmth and happiness, striking a perfect balance between the challenges the characters face and their eventual triumphs.

Presley, reeling from a recent breakup, embarks on the trip she had initially planned for her now-ex. Little did she know that this journey would lead her to discover everything she had been missing in life. Serendipity intervenes, and she stumbles upon something utterly unexpected. At the lodge where she's staying, she crosses paths with Beckett and his family, instantly falling head over heels for the charm of the place. What's more, her connection with Beckett sparks a rapid and profound romance, a development I thoroughly adored!

Beckett's character arc was a highlight for me. He's the family's dependable problem solver, always putting his dreams on hold to assist his loved ones. With Presley's support, he begins to realize that he can still be there for his family while pursuing something he's genuinely passionate about. And let's not forget the unwavering support from his siblings, which was heartwarming and entirely expected. They're always there for each other, no matter the circumstances.

As for Beckett and Presley, they were a match made in heaven. He prioritized her, cared for her, challenged her in all the right ways, and she, in turn, offered unwavering encouragement for his career aspirations and dreams. She even embraced his family, especially his adorable niece, Ollie (who undoubtedly stole the show). They complemented each other perfectly. While falling in love within the span of a week might seem outlandish, they did it with such authenticity and grace that it felt entirely believable.

This was SO stinking cute and wholesome. Presley and Beckett were so evenly matched for each other and so genuine about their feelings even when they had a hard time admitting it to themselves.

There’s a bit of an insta-love situation, but everyone is so affectionate and warm that it definitely allows you to suspend disbelief. Beckett’s entire family is so great, and welcome Presley into the fold immediately in a way that is impossible to resist (or to want to). Ollie is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs.

I want to move to Smile and spend my days hiking and biking and cozying up in the lodge. This was a super warm-and-cozy light read.

This book was predictable, but very cute. I loved a lot of the characters and especially loved the family atmosphere at the Get Lost Lodge. Another win for a Sophie Sullivan when I need something like to escape. Thanks to the publisher for this eARC!

SOPHIE SULLIVAN CAN DO NO WRONG!
I've read Sophie Sullivan books before and her writing is beautiful and has me questioning how she knows all my insecurities and then writing the perfect partner for that is scarily beautiful and perfect

The ending was perfect and just so fitting for the two because the little act of giving your partner a gift that's tailored to your strenghts and it being what they need/could need is so cute

*only reason i didn't give 5/5 stars is because i want to reread it as a paperback just to get the full experience

I got really into Love, Naturally from the beginning—cute banter, dreamy setting, and compelling characters. Over time, I became less invested, so the book started to drag for me. But I think it’s perfect for readers who want less spice in a romance.
