Are you looking for a book that includes nature and hot mountain men? Then this book is for you! 😂 Presley plans a trip with her boyfriend Emmett to a newly renovated lodge called Get Lost. Emmett turns out to be a major loser and doesn’t go with Presley. She mostly was going to bond with him but decides to take the chance and go on her own. While she’s there, she meets the wonderful owner and his family and quickly falls into major like with Beckett.
Don’t let the amount of time it took me to read this book fool you into thinking you shouldn’t read this, you definitely should! It’s a sweet small town romance that includes a found family too. Beckett is going on the book boyfriend list after this! You will swoon for their love.

Though not particularly groundbreaking, this story was an enjoyable read with a cozy, predictable plot a la Hallmark Channel original movie. Perhaps the story would be better in script form because I truly struggled with the continuous trope of the "hot mountain man".

I wanted to love this- especially with the nod to Michigan and I am a Michigander.. but this just didn't hit the target for me. Insta-love for me is hit or miss, and this just didn't quite hit the target for me. I can appreciate a small town charming romance, however I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. I liked that this was dual POV.. but other than that I can't say I was really captivated by this story. I felt that it dragged on.

Presley works at a small, boutique hotel - hoping for the promotion she deserves. She is under appreciated and undervalued in her work. Being able to get a few days off of work, she has planned to surprise her boyfriend with a trip to a lodge in Northern Michigan. The surprise doesn’t go as planned and Presley ends up going on the trip solo. She is out of her element being in the outdoors. Her world and everything she had planned for herself gets turned upside down as she grows closer to the family running the lodge. I really enjoyed reading this book. Presley and Beckett’s relationship is so sweet and I love how Presley meshes with the rest of the family.

In support of the SMP boycott, I will be withholding my review of this title until SMP speaks out. If the boycott is resolved, I will update with a full review.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sophie Sullivan and St Martin’s Press for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This was really adorable and just a great palate cleanser after so many mysteries and thrillers. The characters were amazing and I want to go to Get Out so badly for my next vacation. Sounds so perfect for relaxing. Definitely recommend.

Thanks to Netgally and the publisher for sending me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is in between a 2.5-3 stars for me. It was very much insta-love, which is not my favourite trope. The entire book takes place within a 3 week span, which seems a little fast for me. There was definitely some cute moments throughout the book that is making the rating a little bit higher.

3.5/5 ⭐️
Thank-you to Net Galley, the publisher, and the author for an Advanced Reader Cooy.
This books opens with our main Fenale character stepping out of her comfort zone by booking her and her boyfriend a vacation. It features hikes, fishing, and all sorts of outdoorsy activities. He breaks up with her. However, Presley decides to take a leap and go on the adventure herself.
At first the AC in her room works to well so the family that runs the lodge moves her into one of the brothers cabin. It's Beckett. He ends up sleeping on the couch. From there they begin to get to know each other. Also, Presley takes a photo of French toast however Beck's abs are in the background which draws lots of attention on Instagram.
Presley steps out of her comfort zone by hiking and fishing.
Beckett and her form a bond and an instant connection.
This book features instant love and an instant chemistry between the two main characters.

What could be worse than breaking up with someone you thought would be your person? Maybe having the breakup happen after you have planned and purchased their dream trip! The audacity of him thinking she would still give him the trip... So, our FMC takes her exes dream trip, which is sooooo far outside of her comfort zone. But, it opens the door for so many new things. This was a fun, sweet story about love (obviously), but it also is a story about finding confidence in your abilities, and personal growth. Enjoyable read!

Speaking of books that kept me company during a January that took forever, Love, Naturally was such a perfect book for the beginning of the year. I love that it’s about a woman who has had blinders on for the duration of her relationship with this man and she finally registers that he’s actually kind of awful and then goes on the vacation she planned for him for his birthday by herself. Only the vacation she planned for him was like, catered to his preferences, which means it was intended to be a very outdoorsy type of vacation. I loved the way she decided that she was just going to embrace trying new things on this trip. Ultimately, was it realistic? I mean, not to me, but I did love the message of finding people to appreciate the multitude of gifts that you bring to the table because YES, that’s a great message for the start of the year. And ultimately, I would recommend if you’re in the mood for a romance with that message at the center. (Oh and the love interest really is amazing. I quite liked him. It’s just, I loved her more.)

Presley Ayers thought she had found the perfect birthday gift for her boyfriend of eight months. She booked a week for both of them at the Get Lost Lodge where she could try to enjoy the activities he said he enjoyed including fishing, hiking and boating. Never mind that her favorite activities included shopping. When he told her he couldn't see them spending a week together, she knew they had no future and decided to go anyways, alone. Little did she know this one week would change her life. As it turned out, hers wasn't the only life that changed. Beckett Keller's brother owned the Get Lost Lodge, and he was there to help get it into shape so that it could become a successful business. Nothing mattered more to Beckett than family, that is until Presley came along. Can these opposites find a way forward together?
Beautifully told and well plotted, the author brings together a large cast of well-developed characters. Their stories blend together perfectly, and readers are treated to a delightful tale about self-discovery and the importance of family. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin's and NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

When Presley booked a ten day vacation for her and her boyfriend, she thought she would win girlfriend of the year. Unfortunately when he asks to go without her she has no choice but to end the relationship. Not wanting to waste the trip, Presley decides to go solo. Will ten days out of her comfort zone be just the thing she needs to heal, or will she find herself wallowing in self pity.

This is a tricky book for me to review. While I am a huge fan of Sophie Sullivan and have enjoyed all her books to date, this one missed the mark for me.

My main issue with Love, Naturally is the insta love trope. I have never been partial to said trope. However, if there had been more time between Presley moved on to Beckett, I could have gotten bought into the story more.

While this was not the perfect fit for me, I know there is a huge audience for this book. I am excited to know Sullivan has more books about to be released and will happily be reading all of them!!

Special thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press Griffin, and Sophie Sullivan for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh I really enjoyed this book! I loved the characters, the landscape and the humor - I was here for all of it! I enjoyed the way these characters cared for each other and really found out what the meaning of love really is for them. It was beautiful. Even the swoon-worthy scenes were well done and I usually only read closed-door romances. The open-ness didn't cross any steamy lines. Yay!

I only had a couple of bumps and am only mentioning it for people who might be sensitive to it too...the language. There were a half dozen heavier words and LGBTQ couples, if you are okay with that in your books, some would would rather not, than enjoy!


Thanks to NetGalley for letting me review this book! All opinions are my own!

Presley plans a fishing weekend for her and her boyfriend as a suprise, but the suprise is that he doesn't want to go with her but would rather go with his buddies. To his suprise she goes by herself and ends up agreeing to a 10 day fling with Beckett while learning to bike, hike and fish. Very cute read highly suggest reading, she is a great author!

This was another great rom com from Sophie Sullivan. I loved the instant chemistry and attraction between Presley and Beckett. The small town was charming and I loved all the characters. This was heartwarming and had found family and opposites attract tropes. I can't wait to read her next book!

Loved it! First read by this author and will definitely check out her other novels. The hero was swoony and appreciated the give and take dynamic they had, drawing out each other’s strengths.

While I’m not normally a huge fan of insta-love, the fact that this one did such a great job incorporating other tropes I do love like opposites attract & found family really made all the difference in how much I enjoyed this one!

Small towns will always be near and dear to my heart and every time I read a small town romance I’m constantly giggling and reminiscing on growing up in a small town.

Thank you netgalley & SMP for the chance to read this one early in exchange for an honest review!

Presley surprises her boyfriend with a trip to a fishing lodge for his birthday. She would rather shop and dine in cute restaurants instead of fishing and hiking, but she planned this trip for him. He wants to bring anyone but her on the trip, so she storms out to take the trip on her own. When she arrives as a complete fish out of water, she meets #hotmountainman Beckett Keller and sparks fly as he teaches her to hike, fish and bike. They agree to a 10 day fling for the length of her trip, but why can’t she get him out of her mind?

I will read anything by Sophie Sullivan. Her writing is so smooth and easy to read, and the storylines are uplifting, inspiring and have just the perfect amount of spice. Love, Naturally is no exception. Presley and Beckett are a great match, and I loved the amusing supporting characters that helped Presley and me fall in love with Smile.
