"She’d learned that having a solid plan didn’t always make something pan out. Maybe it was time to stop being so careful. Stop thinking before she acted. Beckett made her want to do nothing more than feel. Everything. He made her want to go barreling down that slippery slope headfirst. She might end up buried under an avalanche of hurt, but as he’d said about her, she got the feeling he’d be worth it. More than that? She was worth the leap."

"“I think we fool ourselves into believing there’s a ‘right time’ for all of the things we want. But really, life does what it wants, and we need to seize the opportunities we have when they present themselves.”

I am always happy to read a fellow Canadian author's work!! The premise drew me in immediately and I was convinced to stay by the amazing setting that Sophie Sullivan created in the town of Smile and the Get Lose Lodge! It makes you want to run away to the mountains and renovate your own little cabin.

This was such an adorable and endearing love story that really puts a lot of things into perspective. I loved the message of grasping your own happiness whenever you can and taking that leap of faith. both Presley and Beckett were such relatable characters, and were backed up by a full cast of extremely entertaining side characters. I am very much hoping that we get to continue with each of the siblings own books in the future!!

You will not regret picking up this funny, charming, adorable romance that makes for the absolute perfect summer read!

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, & the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Oh my gosh this is just what my mood reading self needed! I read this while on vacation and it was the perfect little story to pull out while relaxing and read. I read this in one sitting from front to back and how I adored this. This particular storyline/plot is centered around belonging and acceptance which I think is a wonderful topic to have. I fell in love with the characters, the places and I laughed so many times out loud that I lost count. I love Sophies writing style and her characters and storyline/plot was perfection. I had absolutely not a single complaint about this.

I will be purchasing a copy for my shelf and I am going to be sharing this book with all of my romcom loving friends! This is a must read for anytime but a great one for the summer time!!! BRAVO!

3.5⭐A charming, cute.. opposites-attract romance, which features instant love and closed-door romance.

Beckett assists Presley as she disembarks from a shaky boat onto Lodge land. However, it becomes apparent that she has made a mistake. Despite not enjoying activities such as hiking, fishing, or nature in general, she embarked on this trip. Nevertheless, Beckett is preoccupied with other concerns, such as a deteriorating lodge and his own unfulfilled aspirations.

The overall atmosphere was warm and happy, and there was a healthy mix of challenges and victories. However, I couldn't quite relate to the instant love between Beckett and Presley, as they fell for each other deeply and rapidly.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

Presley is an associate concierge at a fancy hotel. She is looking forward to a vacation with her boyfriend after buying them a fishing trip for his birthday. Hoping this will bring them to the next level, she finds out Emmett is not interested in a long-term commitment. Presley decides to take the trip alone.

Presley is not into the fishing, boating, hiking, etc. that is offered at the lodge but she is determined to get the most out of the trip. Presley meets Beckett as they travel on a boat to get to the lodge. She is doing her best not to get seasick. Becket’s family owns the lodge and there are a lot of improvements to be made if it is to be successful. There is an instant attraction between Presley and Becket. I loved this book. Becket’s sister, brothers and sister’s little girl are priceless. They interact with the those at the lodge and everyone seems to be family. It was heartwarming to experience the special people drawn to the lodge. Becket and Presley both have dreams but decide it is worth the broken hearts when they part. I loved the respect and support Presley and Becket had from his family, the towns people, and those at the lodge. Lots of love and fun in the book with the notion that you can make something great by letting things fall in place.

"I want you to think about what you really want and go for it no matter who gets left behind. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I want you to not be so scared of things being different that you don't walk away from love."

I LOVED this story. It was a very cozy and easy read for me.

Presley has worked hard in current job and life. She wants to surprise her boyfriend, Emmett, with a ten day getaway to the Get Lost Lodge. Turns out, Emmett is not ready for a couple's retreat with Pres, and they promptly break up leaving Presley to vacation alone in a place where she is not sure she will even enjoy. Enter Beckett, brother to the owner of the GLL and they both are instantly attracted but try to keep some boundaries due to the fact that she is only there for a short period of time.

I loved Beckett's dedication to his family & to the small town that he grew up in. It was a very likable trait, and relatable how he questioned his own life decisions based on those that were around him.

I used to work at a hotel front desk, so I related to Presley's stress of her job and some of her frustrations that came along with it. I also loved that she still decided to take this vacation even when it wasn't a vacation that she thought that she wanted.

Also, Ollie wants hands down the cutest character and I loved her so much.

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an easy romance that you won't want to put down!

Thank you to Netgalley & St. Martin's Press for providing me with an early copy of this book. The opinions are my own and are not influenced by anything other than myself!

Dead on the floor. Literally read this is in one day and ate it up. Will be buying this once it comes out so I can read it again

Getting lost has never been so sweet! The perfect summer read to sink into. A story about love, found family and seizing the opportunities life puts in your path.
Presley is a successful hotel concierge, she has dreams and goals even if she has tunnel vision about them sometimes. After planning a trip for her boyfriend of 8m where they will stay at a fishing lodge called get lost for ten days, only to have him tell her he’d rather go with someone else, Presley does something she never thought she would. She breaks things off with him and goes on the trip alone. The problem is she’s not an outdoors,hiking, and fishing type of girl. Feeling a little lost but determined to make the most of it anyway she sets out to find herself. Beckett is intrigued by this city girl who seems to have no clue when it comes to being outdoors. She seems a bit lost, something he can relate to given all he’s juggling and the decision about his future he needs to make. He doesn’t have time for a fling with a guest; he has to help his brother with the lodge, figure out his next steps and figure out a way to talk to his family. It’s true what they say though opposites really do attract and connection these two have develops quickly and is stronger than either we’re prepared for.

This was a super sweet book, there was lots of mutual pining and at times felt very insta love. This is usually not my favorite trope in a romance but these characters develop a pretty deep connection fairly quickly. She’s only there for ten days but the story manages to be jammed packed with sweet and romantic moments. There was great humor but also got really deep about how life is full of moments that change you and can lead you down a different path, but it’s our job to seize the opportunities when we can. I loved the found family aspect of this book, the side characters were fabulous and honestly Ollie stole the show several times! For a while I felt the story was pretty slow paced and it took me a minute to really get lost in the story but I thoroughly enjoyed these characters and their chemistry was fantastic. It can be hard to show that type of chemistry in a closed door romance but Sophie has a knack for it. This was a 4 star read for me and a book I’d definitely recommend. Here are some tropes and micro tropes you’ll find in Love Naturally


-opposites attract
-closed door romance
-insta connection
-city girl in the outdoors
-sunshine x sunshine
-social media influencer
-hot mountain man
-found family
-small town


Thank you NetGalley and St.martins press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is such a cozy vacation read and I was so happy to hear that this is going to be part of a series! If I could visit the lodge and this town I would in an instant. Beckett and Presley were so perfect and fell in love fast but it felt so right when reading it. I can't wait to see them pop up in the future books.

I really loved this book. The characters were great. It was a quick read, well I couldn't put it down. I was hooked to this cute romance.

This book came at such a perfect time, as I was enjoying a weekend camping I started this book and just HAD to read it start to finish in one day! Presley, a young woman who thinks she has it all together, meets Beckett at his family's cabin/lodge retreat. The unlikely pair connect almost immediately, and boy oh boy do the sparks fly! I love forced proximity and instant chemistry, so the limited timeline trope did not sway me from loving this story!

I looooved this book! It was incredibly cute and charming. Though it is an insta-love situation, I hadn't even realized it until reading other reviews, which shows how nicely it was done. The book is written in third person, but still gives dual POV, which is very nearly a must have for me when I am choosing a book to read. It is also a closed door romance, which I think fits with wit and charm of it all.

Sophie Sullivan created an amazing cast of characters- not only the two leads, but also the numerous side and background characters that brought life to the story. I certainly picked up on openings where this could become a series following the siblings? At least I hope so!

This book is so charming! It was silly, ridiculous, and so romantic. The setting was beautiful, the plot was so cute, and the characters seemed like my friends! The insta-love worked so well in this.
Presley and Beckett are so adorable and I really enjoyed their banter, so cute! It was easy for me to picture the cabins, lake, and town where the story takes place. It makes me want to go and “Get Lost” as Presley would say.
I highly highly recommend this book!!
I am definitely going to be rereading this next summer!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this book, so so much! What a fantastic fun romance! Now I will say it was very insta-lovey, but it didn't come across as insta-love. Rather we were swept up in a whirl-wind romance! It was a blast to follow along on the adventures Presley and Beckett got up to, and it was interesting to see both sides as the story unfolded. Even more, the side characters were so much fun to spend time with! I fell in love with Ollie and Jilly. Though I wish we got to see more of Rylee. I also really appreciate the representation of LGBTQ+, I don't often see that in "straight" books.

The only, and I mean ONLY, thing that bugged me (and its so small) is that they mentioned playing Mario Kart on an Xbox... as a gamer, it really bugged me. But again, the literal smallest thing, like literally one line.

Rating: 5/5 stars - Highly Recommend! Available January 16th, 2024 (1/16/2024)

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

"It means I love you, Presley Ayers. I love you in a way I didn't know was possible. Definitely not after a week. I don't care if you don't like the outdoors, if you never want to fish, if you want to stay here in the city or move to California. Wherever you are is where I need to be."

-opposites attract, small town romance, insta love
-Presley (31) is the last person you would catch in the great outdoors, there she meets Beckett (30), whose family owns Get Lost Lodge
-such an easy, fun and wholesome read! Really enjoyed Presley and Beckett’s connection
-thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC ❤️

4.3⭐️

This book was such a fun read for me it was so hard to put down. This book is great for when you just need a breath of fresh air.
The banter between Presley and Beck is fantastic and they did actually have me laughing out loud. I loved that it wasn’t just the main characters I loved but the secondary characters as well. I’m not sure how to call them secondary though because they brought so much to the story.
I love the the family/found family aspect and how amazing the whole community is in this book.
I highly recommend this if you’re looking to #GetLost in a great book.
I also would like the thank NetGalley and the publish for the ARC for an honest review.

3.5 ⭐️ this was like a vanilla ice cream cone on a summer day.
I loved the premise and setting, the outdoors, fishing, hiking, lodge on an island, cute little town on the water. My kind of vacation.

Beckett: hot mountain man, reminded me of my husband, loved him.
Presley: I felt like I wanted more of, city girl with a social media presence and liked shopping, very people pleasing.

I think what didn’t work for me was the third person. It was Dual POV which I love!! But quite often I was confused who’s perspective I was in, and it took me longer to read this than normal.

It was also a closed door romance, we got the illusions things occurred, which I didn’t mind sometimes I need a good wholesome palette cleanser.

I’d read more books this author puts out.

Love, Naturally was like a big warm hug that I wanted to savor for just a second longer. I loved this book.
The author wrote such relatable characters that they ended up feeling like family and I was not ready to leave their world. I want to be friends with these characters and get to know every single one of them even more (well maybe all but Emmett). I want to live in their town, ride bikes, sing karaoke at Bro’s Pub 🎤, eat at Pete’s, and stay at Get Lost Lodge.

I really would love to read Jilly and Grayson’s stories as well so 🤞🏻for a series because I am not over Get Lost Lodge.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sophie’s characters are always some of my favorites and the small-town island setting was perfect!

In an attempt to strengthen their relationship, Presley Ayers books a getaway for herself and her boyfriend to the Get Lost Lodge, but Emmett breaks up with her instead. Presley decides to take the trip solo even though she is not a big fan of the great outdoors.

To Beckett Keller, family comes first. That’s why he’s put aside his dream of opening a bike rental business to help his brother run the Get Lost Lodge.

I loved how well Presley and Beckett worked together as a couple. In this case it’s true what they say - opposites attract. Beckett is as outdoorsy as they come avoids social media like the plague while Presley is a city girl, social media influencer. With Presley’s high follower count, the lodge begins to get more and more attention which leads to more bookings and, in turn, more money to renovate the lodge.

This was a closed-doors romance, so I wouldn’t recommend this to someone looking for a steamy read, but please read this anyway!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I really cute and light romance read! Quite cheesy at most times but it was just what I needed to get out of my reading slump. The world the author paints in this story is absolutely adorable and I would love to go there.
3.5 Stars ⭐!

Love, naturally is a gem. The story’s MCs are so relatable and enjoyable that you want all of the good things to happen for them. The main girl in our story is Presley who is a kind, selfless, hardworking hotel manager wannabe. One bad situation has her realizing she needs to take time away from the hustle and bustle of her life and head to the one place she never thought of going, the woods. Here we meet the amazing Keller family who capture your heart as a reader. Each one of these family members adds to Presleys story. The love story that we venture one with Beckett and Presley gives all the feels. You hear from both characters in some of the chapters which gives a nice perspective to the feelings that are emerging. When I say wow I wish everyone can find themselves a Beckett I mean it. He easily has a spot on my book boyfriend list. Not going to lie I was holding my breath towards the end of the story because some loose ends start to fray but I was pleasantly content with how things ended. Read this story!!!! Seriously, you’ll smile to yourself, giggle, have heart palpitations but it’s all worth it!
