I have thought about this book quite a few times since reading it. Presley and Beckett make the most unlikely of partners, but their individual qualities that they bring to the table are exactly what the other needs.

If you enjoy a good fish out of water, opposites attract story with characters you can really connect with, you’ll enjoy Love, Naturally!

"Look out, world, there's a new version of Presley Ayers coming your way. Get ready. This Presley camps."

First I want to start by saying, I am so extremely happy to have found a new auto buy author for me! If Sophie Sullivan writes it ... I am going to buy it & read it.

As you can tell ... I loved, loved, loved this book. It was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time.

It was fluffy, cute, had amazing characters, an amazing plot, and I loved seeing all of that character growth.

Emmett can suck it ... Team Beckett all the way! Or should I say #hotmountainman
I am going to keep this review as spoiler free as possible because everyone needs to read this one.

"I think you're magic."

You get:
• Small town romance
• Strangers to lovers
• Amazing banter
• Found family
• Canadian author
• Who did this to you?
• Out of my comfort zone

Love, Naturally is available now! You won't regret giving Sophie Sullivan a chance!

"What are you doing here Beckett?" The easy humor fled from his gaze. "You took something of mine." She laughed. "Yes. Fine. I admit it I stole your pillowcase." "Not my pillowcase, Presley. My heart. You took it, and it's really freaking hard to function without it."

I enjoyed this sweet and charming romance that included a lovely element of found family. The instant love theme (willing to uproot an entire life after a week of knowing someone) was a bit cloying, but overall this is a quick, fun read with likeable characters.

One of the reasons I've gravitated to Sophie Sullivan's books recently is because I always know what to expect. Sullivan's books are cozy and sweet with swoony MMCs. They're not always my *favorite* romance books, but they deliver on their promises -- and "Love, Naturally" is no different. I loved the setting and the characters, and as opposed as I am to insta-love, I was so obsessed with Beckett I looked past it.

I really enjoyed this book! Sophie Sullivan is one of my favorite sweet romance authors and I was so excited to read this book with friends. Beckett and Presley were really sweet opposites who click right away! I feel like some of my favorite pieces of this book would be spoilery to share… you’ll just have to read Love, Naturally! This was a 5 star read for me ⭐️

Love, Naturally is a romance for those who love a charming, small town, Hallmark-esque story.

The side characters are lovable and the dual point-of-view between Beckett & Presley is a nice touch! Opposites attract is a great trope, and these two also have an instant connection.

As far as spice goes, it is a closed door romance so it’s perfect for those who like their books more PG-rated.

I’d rate it 3.5 stars! ⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this eARC to read & review!

Calling all seasoned romance readers and newcomers! "Love, Naturally" by Sophie Sullivan will whisk you away on an adventure where opposites collide and hearts find their way.

Enter a heartwarming tale that takes readers into the enchanting world of opposites attracting. Set against the backdrop of rugged wilderness and unexpected romance, this delightful novel invites us to step outside our comfort zones and embrace life's surprises.

Meet Presley Ayers, an accomplished concierge at an exclusive hotel in Great Falls, MI. She's more at home recommending the finest champagne and caviar than navigating the great outdoors. But when her boyfriend unexpectedly dumps her right before their vacation to the Get Lost Lodge, Presley decides to embark on the trip solo. Little does she know that her adventure will lead her to unexpected love.

Meet Beckett Keller, a rugged outdoorsman who embodies everything Presley isn't. With his rough stubble and plaid shirts, he's a far cry from her usual world of high heels and brand-name athleisure. Fate brings them together on Lodge territory… will sparks fly?

Sullivan weaves their story with authenticity, capturing the magic of opposites colliding. The cozy, small-town setting feels lived-in, and readers will root for this unlikely pair. This story will remind you that sometimes the best things happen when we take chances. So go hiking through forests or open your heart!

Sullivan is a Canadian author whose day job is teaching. Her gift to readers in Love, Naturally is a delightful escape for us all, and a reminder that love blooms in the most unexpected of places.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really like this author's books and I enjoyed this one as well. However, I wish that it had been slightly less repetitive. I will be reading more of this author's writings soon.

Thank you NetGalley and St.Martin's Press for this ARC in exchange for my review.

The "Love, Naturally" is a slow burn romance filled with Duck POV. It was a cute, easy read with a great premise and setting. I loved Beckett and his sweet family. I found that some parts of the story dragged on but overall it kept me interesting the whole time.

3.5 Stars rounded to 4 :)

I am a huge fan of Sophie Sullivan’s books and I could not wait to read Love, Naturally.

The setting is perfect, small town, outdoors, lodge and lake life. I haven’t read many he falls first troupes so I wasn’t sure if I would like it. But I really did!

Presley arranges a trip to Get Lost Lodge for her boyfriend’s Birthday. But when she gives him the gift he was not appreciative of it. So does what anyone would, goes by herself. Presley is a city girl who does not like to fish, hike or the outdoors. This could be an interesting week for her.

When she arrives at the lodge there is an issue and ends up staying in Beckett’s cabin. I loved the chemistry that built up between them even though “Hot Mountain Man” (Beckett) fell for Presley first. You will have to read the book to find out why he is called that.

I just loved the banter between them. I also loved the side characters, Grey, Jilly, Ollie, Mr. D, Gramps and the rest of the Smile community.

I cannot wait to read Sophie Sullivan’s next book. While we wait for I highly recommend that you pick this one up. It will put a Smile on your face!

Cute Insta-Love

Boy, I must have checked the insta-love box on my reading preferences, because this is the fourth book in a row I’ve read that centered around it. Not my go to genre, but this was a cute story to go with it.

As the blurb says, it’s a charming opposites attract story when it comes to Beckett and Presley. She’s taking a vacation alone after buying it for her boyfriend and being dumped the day she presents it to him. Beckett’s family owns the lodge Presley had booked a room at and from the moment she stepped on the boat to get there, he was smitten.

It was cute that they kinda sorta had the same background in hospitality. While she’s a high-profile concierge, she’s got a slight internet influencer vibe that accidentally puts Beckett’s place on the map. While I thought it was odd this family would lean so heavily on a stranger for all kinds of business advice, I realized they were also desperate for the lodge to survive. I liked both Beckett and Presley’s characters, but it’s the family dynamic that kept me reading. Presley and Beckett were predictable, I want to see how the rest of the family was going to pull things off.

The book is well written in a narrative style, which I’m not a big fan of, as it seems to drag a story down. That said, the book reads as a standalone with an epilogue to wrap things up.

Love Naturally is the fourth delightful romcom from the pen of Sophie Sullivan. Presley Ayers has degrees in hospitality and marketing and is working tirelessly to move up the ladder in the boutique hotel where she works in Great Falls, MI. Presley’s goals include getting ahead in her career and forming a family of her own. As an only child of self indulgent, somewhat neglectful parents, Presley has missed the feeling of family and craves that feeling.

Presley’s boyfriend of eight months, Emmett, has an upcoming birthday and she wants to make it very special. She has taken ten days off work, worked her influencer magic on a small regional airline to get tickets, and purchased a ten day stay at a place Emmett has repeatedly said he wants to go, the Get Lost Lodge. However, when Presley presents Emmett with this gift, he dispels any notions of a future together. Eager to take a buddy on the trip, he doesn’t get the chance when Presley grabs the envelope, leaves his luggage in the parking lot, and heads for the airport.

A shaky small plane flight and wobbly boat ride later, Presley finds herself on a forested island with a lovely, if a bit shabby, lodge. She also finds herself taken by the rugged brother of the lodge owner. Beckett Keller has taken a couple of months off to help his brother Grayson get the lodge up and running well. Grayson lost everything in a divorce settlement but was given the old lodge and island as a consolation prize. Grayson is now determined to make it work along with his brother, his sister Jilly, and her daughter Ollie.

Through a frozen hotel room, a cottage move, hiking, fishing, and boating, family dinners and campfires, Presley falls in love with the Keller family, but none so much as Beckett. Amazing how ten days can change a person’s life! But it’s only vacation, and after ten days it’s time to return to reality.

This is such a good story! With a little something for everyone, Ms. Sullivan creates places I want to go and characters I’d like to meet. The conclusion of this story is so sweet, but there is so much more I want to know about these characters. What becomes of Grayson, Jilly, and Presley’s best friend Rylee? This book has only opened the door for so many more stories. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!

I really enjoyed this book! There were some bits I was bored through, but it was still pretty entertaining. I loved that it was dual pov, I think I would have given up on it if I didn't get both Presley + Beckett's povs. I loved that we got to see both their internal struggles and watch them fall in love but not TELL EACH OTHER. I ended up listening to the audiobook, which I really loved. I think that helped me enjoy the book even more. I think that at the end I was just getting bored with them talking to each other and Beckett's family. I hated the whole storyline about Beckett leaving + not telling Presley his feelings until it was 'too late'. Obviously it wasn't too late because they get back together, but like you let her get all the way home before being an adult and talking about your feelings?! I think that part just frustrated me so much. I hate the 'doesn't accept their feelings even though they are full grown adults' trope that is also known as 'miscommunication' trope. But at the end of the day I think I really loved Presley and Beckett's love story and loved how Sophie Sullivan pulled it together in the end.

Ah this was so sweet - just the right balance of humour, romance, and lightness. Like Presley, I fell in love with Beckett (and co) pretty quickly. I was left with a pleasant (slight) hangover - a happy ending that still has me craving the next book. (Please tell me Jilly and Grayson get their own stories!) The cast of supporting characters were quirky and endearing and I'm a sucker for opposites attract and small town settings.

Love, Naturally was the outdoorsy escape I didn't know I needed. I love the city dweller/influencer in the wilderness trope, and man was Beckett a dreamy hero! I also love a "save the small business" story, so this book hit all my sweet spots. In classic Sophie Sullivan fashion, it's a really fun romance.

It is instalove, but it's such a fun escape that it was worth it. I didn't love the third-act breakup, but the adorable redemption made up for it.

The side characters are all incredible, and I'm certainly hoping Sophie Sullivan writes more in this world.

I honesty love everything that Sophie Sullivan writes. She has such a way of pulling you into a story and making you love all of the characters. Presley and Beck may very well be my favorite of her couples so far. But I also loved the family dynamic between Beck and his siblings and the found family that Presley saw in them and the other guests. I sincerely hope that we get the other siblings stories too cause I would love that.

The story follows Presley who gets dumped by her boyfriend when she tries to surprise him with a vacation to the Get Lost Lodge. Devastated, she goes on the vacation herself, the one catch is that it was centered around all the things her ex-boyfriend liked to do; camping, fishing, hiking, etc. Presley is determined to have a good time on her vacation even if it's not her regular style. Once she arrives she meets Beckett, whose family owns the lodge, and you can guess where the story goes after that!

This was a love-at-first-sight book in my opinion. It was cute, with the whole opposites attract trope.

What could go wrong when Presley books a vacation for her and her boyfriend to go to a fishing lodge for his birthday? Well, him dumping her right before they leave on the trip is not ideal. Presley vows to take the trip by herself despite not being an outdoorsy person. She might just find a love of the outdoors.. or maybe just love in general?

What I liked:
- outdoor setting
- sweet romance
- Beckett’s family relationships

This was a sweet read that had great summer vibes! The plot was a bit more insta love than I prefer so I had a hard time getting into this book for that reason.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s for the advanced reading copy!

This one is cute, I really enjoyed it. It had many things I love. Nature, the great outdoors, a neighbor state as a setting and great characters. Presley and Beckett were great and a lot of fun. After a breakup Presley decides to go out of her comfort zone and take a trip she wouldn't normally go on. She embraces change, tries new things, and discovers things about herself that helps her let go and move on.

It was a great story and I am glad I discovered Sophie Sullivan!

Presley finds herself on a vacation for a now ex-boyfried that is definitely out of her comfort zone - the outdoors. Beckett who works at the place she's staying, of course helps her get over this breakup by being sweet and charming. This is another fun, light, easy read from this author. I enjoyed the characters, the cute small town, and the easy story to finding love.
