Thank you St. Martin’s Press for my gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Sophie Sullivan books are comfort reads for me.

Despite knowing each other most of their lives, Julian and Levi never dated in high school, despite having feelings for each other. They reunite when Levi returns home to help his family as his father recovers from surgery. Now that they are adults, they can’t seem to stay away from one another. I loved their easy rapport and how their friendship easily slipped into more. I adored how much Levi cared for her daughter, Ollie. I love being back at Jillian’s family’s resort and seeing Presley and Beckett.

This was a little quick for me, but I still really enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Allyson Morgan. I can’t wait for a third book in the series!

This was a fun, feel good, slow burn-ish romance. I loved the small town setting and how close all the siblings are to each other. The writing was a good pace and it had great witty banter. Which kept me laughing. Our MC's Jilly and Levi had good flow and were great suppourts to each other. Especially when it came to communications skills. You just don't see that often enough in romances. The chemistry did seem a little lacking to me though. That said it was still an enjoybale read. I have the first book in the series in physical copy that I will be picking up soon.

Tropes:
- brothers best friend
- small town
- childhood crush to lovers
- single mom
- second chance
- dual POV
- green flag MMC

4 stars ⭐️ This is a sweet and cozy romance book! Thank you Sophie for giving us this book on Valentine’s week! It was a quick and easy read with a happy ending!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am not usually a massive fan of second-chance romance but this book did it so well. The small-town vibes just make it for me and brothers friend??? Sign me up!

Sweet rom com! Levi moves back to his hometown after chasing his culinary dreams. He is ready to settle for a simple life. He and Jillian run into each other soon after he returns and their old teen crush comes back to life. They soon entangle their lives and pursue a relationship. There are a few bumps but mostly a low drama sweet fun romance

If you're looking for a sweet romance with second-chance vibes I would definitely add this one to your radar.

Liam was best friends with Jillian's brother and was always around while they were growing up. They both had feelings for each other but neither realized how the other felt, and they grew up and went their separate ways. Jillian comes home to Smile, Michigan which sounds like a super adorable place to live (even more so because I am also in Michigan) A few years later Liam comes home, and from the moment they run into each other, the sparks are flying.

I really liked the characters from our MCs whose POV we alternate reading from, and all the secondary characters that really brought the town to life. I loved their romance how it unfolded, and how Liam interacted with Jillian's daughter. From start to finish I was sucked into the story, and since this is the first book I've read by this author I will be going back and reading more.

Get Lost with You is the second novel in the Rock Bottom Love series. This story follows a divorced single mom Jillian Keller who lives in her hometown of Smile, Michigan with her daughter and helps her brother run Get Lost Lodge. Her relationship with her ex-husband, Andrew, who is their daughter, Ollie’s, father, is complex. It also follows chef Levi Bright who comes back home to Smile to care for his dad after his surgery. Jillian and Levi slowly build their connection in their low angst journey. The lower stakes make this story a nice cozy romance read where the reader can take their time to get to know the two main characters and witness their relationship develop.

Jillian is going through her journey of learning to trust again as she navigates a complex relationship with her ex-husband while raising their daughter. On the other hand, Levi has a strained relationship with his father that he is trying to rebuild. While the two characters are going through emotional journeys, I wish that the novel would have delved deeper into them. The two characters did have great chemistry, and I enjoyed their romantic journey, however, I just wanted a little more from the individual journeys. Overall, this was a fun read, and I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, St. Martin’s Griffin, for the opportunity to read this entertaining novel. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.**

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. The opinions written are completely honest and my own.

A cozy book to read during the crazy cold weather we have been having, sadly I read it in a night. Although it is the second book in a serie , this book stands on its on own just fine.

The characters are likeable and the only word I can think of to subscribe the book is cute

I am wholeheartedly against reading books out of order and when the female protagonist Jilly mentions early on that her brother and his girlfriend met “through a strange set of circumstances” without much, or really any further explanation, I knew I was walking into an existing series. Unfortunately, the one preceding book, “Love, Naturally” was not available to me, and since I had promised to read and review the new book by the rapidly-approaching release date, I did my breathing exercises and plowed on.

This is a sweet rom-com, and if you were looking for a slow-burn, fraught, drawn-out romance, you won’t really find it here. Most of my nervousness was about things that I anticipated rather than what actually happened. Ollie, as with most only-child characters in books it seems, is remarkably adorable and adept. The biggest annoyance was really that local breakfast diner owner was supposedly celebrating his 30th year in business, but the collection of treasures that represented his career were classic diner fixtures like it was Arnold’s or the Frosty Palace of the 1950s and 60s. If they hadn’t talked about social media, I would have thought this was not quite modern day.

I guess that is one of the takeaways: the settings and story, not to mention the very much glossed-over “romantic” scenes, are somewhat in the spirit of the past. Levi and Jilly are sweet and not too annoying (usually at least one behaves like an cringe-worthy idiot), so if that’s your type of romcom and you have read the first or don’t mind jumping into a second, this is probably for you. Besides, who among us wouldn’t like to think that a childhood crush, especially the friend of an older sibling, didn’t pine for us as much as we did for them?

I assume there will be a third book about the third sibling since the theme of the three siblings is mentioned constantly.

Thank you to Sophie Sullivan, NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a free advanced copy of this book for my unbiased review.

To start, big thank you St Martins Press for the eARC of this book! I am a big Sophie Sullivan fan so I was stoked to get an early copy.

Sadly, this one wasn’t for me. While Get Lost With You had a sweet premise and a promising start, it fell flat due to a lack of conflict and emotional depth.

Jilly was a great lead character - I loved her role as a mom and really wish we had gotten more of her backstory. Levi was also a solid love interest, but (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) he was too easy. He was 100% all-in with Jillian from the start, without a moment’s hesitation or doubt. It left me craving more tension and uncertainty in their relationship.

The story would have benefited from a stronger "will they/won’t they" element or by giving more weight to the existing subplots. Jill’s ex had the potential to bring some much-needed drama, and Levi’s strained relationship with his dad felt like an afterthought rather than a real hurdle for his character.

At times, it felt more like a spoof of a romance, with corny moments that had me cringing...especially for a book releasing so close to Valentine’s Day! I will give credit where it’s due: the story offers hope for rekindling childhood crushes and finding love after a divorce. There were definitely some sweet, heartwarming moments but they weren't enough to sway me.

Turns out, after all my complaining about wanting characters to just talk to avoid drama... I actually missed the drama!

If you're looking for a book that is calm and low-stakes then look no further than Get Lost With You. While I didn't read the previous book in this series, I feel that this book can be read as a standalone.

Jilly runs into Levi who has recently moved back to their small town and sparks immediately fly as the two reconnect. Levi is trying to find his place in Smile, while Jilly is leery to get back out there after how her previous marriage ended.

The story is sweet but I found it kind of boring. Levi and Jilly are cute together but there was no angst or tension between the two. Levi moved back and bam, insta love. Which, to be fair, they had crushes on each other as kids, but nothing had happened between the two of them until they were adults. It didn't feel realistic to me. There was more tension between themselves and their families than with each other.

I did appreciate how each character was straight forward with each other and made it clear what they wanted.

If you want a nice pallet cleanser with a low-stakes, sweet story then you will probably enjoy this one.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third book that I've read by this author the first one I thought was meh and the second one (the first one in this series) I really enjoyed and we have now added another one that was meh. I got insanely bored after a while reading this one. I felt like nothing was really happening in the middle of this book, I believe I basically skimmed three chapters where literally nothing of importance happened. I couldn't wait for the part with the ex-husband to come up so there could be some drama to come and that was kind of a let down for me.

I would give this author another try since I did enjoy one of her books but this one didn't really do it for me. I assume we will get at least one more in this series so I would give that one a chance.

2.5 stars rounded up

Sophie once again delivers a charming and heartwarming romance, following Jillian, who is struggling to move on from a bad marriage while focusing on her daughter, Ollie. When Levi, Jillian’s childhood crush and a friend of her brothers, returns to town after pursuing his culinary dreams, the two reconnect, and old feelings quickly resurface. The story beautifully explores themes of starting over and finding happiness, though the subplot with Jillian’s ex-husband feels unnecessary and adds unnecessary conflict to an otherwise sweet and clean romance.

I found this book to be much more engaging than the first book in the series. It has good pacing along with the wonderful characters I remember from that first story.

Levi and Jilly are great together, which is obvious from the start. Levi is very aware that Jillian is a mom and that her kid comes first. Jill is afraid of being let down by love again, but cannot resist the pull between them. While these two are trying to figure out being together, Levi is also trying to mend fences with his dad and figure out what he wants to do now that he’s back to stay in his hometown.

I wasn’t crazy about the way Jill stuck her head in the sand about a certain issue, knowing it would end up being the catalyst for something big happening. Yet the issues that came up helped Levi to better understand Jill’s insecurities and it helped Jill to see she didn’t have to always do everything on her own.

While I missed seeing the quirky guests at the Get Lost Lodge, this story taking place in the off-season, I still loved all the people in town.

First and foremost as always thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. Second chance love stories always get me in the feels. The reason they split the first time and then coming back to find each other? Ugh, when written right, really gets you in the feels! This was an incredibly good read! The story was beautifully written and the characters were flushed out really well! Definitely worth the read!

Another great Sophie Sullivan book! In this one, we meet Jillian and Levi. Two people who are friends, but wishing for more. Levi returns to his small town after making it as a successful chef, ready for love and new business ventures. Jillian recently has come home, following a messy divorce, now trying to navigate life as a single mom. They once were friends, now they both realise their feelings for each other all those years ago never went away. Sophie’s books always make me feel cozy, this book was no exception. Overall, I really liked it!

I really enjoyed this, it was such a sweet love story with a lot of substance. I really loved the characters as well as the setting. Small towns and small families always make me happy in books and this really nailed both. I cannot wait to read more from this author, this was so cozy!

4.5/5 🌟

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC!

I love a good Sophie Sullivan book and this one did not disappoint! It read like a solid romance movie and the tropes featured were written with a desired 'smoothness'. I am not the biggest fan of the single-mom trope but I did not mind it so much in this book, partially because of the MMC and because I love Sophie Sullivan.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jillian is living with her parents and working with her brothers when her long-time crush and brother’s best friend returns to town. It does not take long for Levi and Jillian to have sparks fly. Levi is even enamored with Jilly’s daughter. But romance can be hard when one in the pair is afraid to open up to love. The town is a delightful added ambiance and the side characters add a lot of humor to the story.

I did not read the book about Jilly’s brother and his partner but it was not really needed. I found myself really enjoying this one. I would read more from this author!

Thank you to Net Galley, St. Martin’s Press, and St. Martin’s Griffin for the DRC. All opinions are my own.

4/5

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan, book two in the Rock Bottom Love series, is an enjoyable, heartwarming, emotional, small town, second-chance romance. Levi is a chef returning home to Smile to help his dad after a surgery and put down some roots. Jilian is a single mom to Ollie, a jerk for an ex-husband, and sister to Beckett and Grayson, from the first book, helping them with the Get Lost resort in Smile, Michigan. Levi and Jilly had crushes on each other growing up but nothing came of it thanks to a two year age gap, he being her brother’s best friend and his leaving for culinary school out east. Seeing Levi back in Smile affects her more than she expected; the walls around her heart are crumbling. Talking, getting reacquainted allows them to both realize they still have feelings for each other. Levi fears that he could ruin their friendship so he is comfortable taking things slowly; knowing Jilly was deeply hurt by her ex-husband and needs to learn she can trust him. Levi also doesn't want to hurt her daughter either as he builds a relationship with Ollie.

Shortly after they finally define that they are in a relationship, several big changes are looming; especially the fact her ex-husband tries to come back into her life. Jilly is unable yo handle all of the changes at once and wants to protect her daughter from being hurt. She will have to decide whether to stay together with Levi, or end the relationship for good. She will also need to determine how to handle all of the changes coming her way; possibly willing to accept the support her family offers.

The love story of Jillian and Levi is heartwarming and tender, with a wonderful cast of secondary characters that you will fall in love with, and Jilly's close-knit family gives lots of cozy vibes. The town of Smile lives up to its name, and its residents can sometimes be grumpy but mostly endearing. Jilly and Levi were perfect for each other as was the way Ollie and he got along. I cannot wait to return to Smile for Grayson’s story; hopefully one for Lainey too.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
