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.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Sophie Sullivan for the eARC for Love, Naturally.

This story follows Presley and Beckett as they each unwittingly begin to challenge each other to step out of their comfort zones. Presley is a planner and this trip she embarked on was meant to be a spontaneous surprise for her boyfriend to show him that she can be fun! Turns out her plan was a bust. So, Presley decides to take this journey by herself.

This story was such a cute read. The characters were adorable and I love the small town feel in novels where everyone knows everyone. Would definitely recommend!

3.5 stars -- Sophie Sullivan again writes a super sweet romance but I really wanted more! This one felt like more of a YA romance than an adult contemporary romance.

"It Happened One Summer" is the bar for this genre for me, and I was excited that this sounded like a similar set up. But as much as I loved our girl Presley, the tension that came from her being a fish out of water (no pun intended) didn't last nearly long enough -- she miraculously filled all of the gaps where the siblings' hospitality expertise was lacking. This felt more like an insta-love than an enemies-to-lovers which wasn't what I was expecting based on the description.

A lot of this plot felt slightly repetitive because there wasn't a lot of conflict or drama happening, so if you like a more low-key book, this is the one for you.

3.5 stars
I know when I pick up a Sophie Sullivan book it’s going to have some lovely characters, and Love, Naturally is no exception. I think the best part of this book was the family relationships and how much family meant to each of the characters. The plot about restoring the lodge and the small town Smile setting were fun. However, I thought the romance was sweet but too unrealistic. I’m personally not a fan of instalove, and this book definitely has that.

I finally managed to find some time to finish this ARC I received from net galley! From changing jobs and becoming a full time pre school teacher to going to school full time, books just haven’t been on my radar and it makes me sad. However, I was determined to finish this book today, so I made myself make time and I’m so glad.

This book was so sweet. From the romance to the family scenes and the descriptive setting, I could imagine myself at the “Get Lost” lodge and I could feel a connection to the characters. If you love small towns and cute romances, this book is for you!

Presley Ayers is a people-pleasing city girl who loves a good deal. Camping is not on her list of hobbies, but she books a trip for two as a surprise for her boyfriend, Emmit. Ready to take things to the next level, i.e., move in together, Presley wants to show Emmit that she can enjoy his kind of fun too. Things do not go as planned and Presley finds herself on a camping trip solo. Beckett Keller is trying to hold it all together for his family, assist guiding hikes, fishing trips, fixing up cabins, and trying to figure out the next steps for his own life. He can’t figure out why Presley is on a camping trip when she clearly has no interest in it. The two can’t seem to break whatever is drawing them together-no matter how different they are. Can the two completely change what they thought their futures looked like to make room for each other? This is a sweet, entertaining romance you won’t want to put down.

Another great book from this author! Presley & Beckett are the cutest couple and you can't help but fall in love with them. A fantastic read, fun characters, and some laugh out loud moments. What more do you need from a romcom?

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

I really enjoyed Love, Naturally. It had a sweetness to it that was very appealing. The leading lady Presley is just lovely as a city girl fish out of water, trying new thing and stretching her boundaries when she ends up alone one what was supposed to be a dream trip for her boyfriend. The leading man Beck is a great nice guy hero who is loyal to his family and getting his brother's outdoorsy logde up and running. I liked a lot that as Presley stars falling fr Beck she also falls for his family and his quirky small home town. I also appreciated that the romance was closed door - I often end up skimming the spicier stuff nowdays anyway.

So, all in all Love, Naturally worked for me.- and I wouldn't mind seeing stories for Beck's siblings.

What a great book! Presley & Beckett are such a wonderful couple! Its impossible not to fall in love with them! Not to mention the rest of the Get Lost & Smile regulars! Seeing Presley & Beckett’s relationship flourish is a pleasure! I can’t say enough good things about this book. Oh and to Ms Sullivan, you most certainly succeeded in your desire to make people smile and fall into your words, your worlds, and your characters.” Thank YOU!

I love a good romance, and this one was wonderful! It had witty banter, and lovable characters. I was rooting for them the whole way through!

I hate to say it, but I just couldn't get into this book. It wasn't bad...it just seemed unbelievable. Which, I suppose is the case with most romance novels.

To me, they just fell for each other way too quickly. The insta-love isn't my thing. It also dragged on for me a little bit.

I did really like the setting, the lodge and nature were fun to explore. I did also enjoy the small town, found family type feel. It was cute and humorous at times, but overall, it was hard for me to keep going.

I still gave it 4 stars because it's not a bad book by any means, it just wasn't my personal preference in terms of their relationship and how fast it started. It just didn't feel super realistic to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC.

Love Naturally by Sophie Sullivan is the perfect rom com. I adored everything about this book and think readers of this genre will definitely enjoy this book. This is one of my favorite rom coms that I’ve read in a long time. I really loved the characters and the vivid settings in this book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

This book was a complete cozy romantic escape. I loved it.

She’s a fish out of a water at a resort and he’s the good looking mountain man willing to help her along the way. Their attraction was instantaneous and so was my joy in this book.

This was an easy to read, closed door romance with an instant attraction and found family tropes.

Again, I loved it.

I really loved this book. The main characters and the supporting characters were great. The romance was sweet with a little bit of spice. There was a nice bit of character growth from both MC's. A nice bit of humour, which I always appreciate. Overall, a very enjoyable story. * I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Reading a Sophie Sullivan rom-com is like snuggling up with your favorite blanket. It's warm and inviting, cozy and comfortable, and it's the perfect place to spend some time. She just has a way of grabbing your attention and keeping you glued to the pages (or Kindle) the whole way through! Have been a fan of her books, and this new one is no different. Presley is great at her job working in the hotel industry and maintaining a social media presence as a lifestyle influencer. When she presents her boyfriend with a surprise birthday fishing & nature trip, things backfire and she ends up going on the trip alone, where she finds herself at Get Lost Lodge and meets Beckett. So many great moments in this story with all the feels, endearing relatable characters, fun and sexy banter, and moments where I was literally laughing out loud! Definitely check this one out! Thanks so much to Sophie Sullivan, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this e-arc!

Very cute, very funny, super sweet. And I love how supportive the two mains were of each other. But way too instalove for me.
