A very cozy small-town romance with a second chance romance story. The central characters had crushes (unbeknownst to each other) on each other growing up and meet again as adults for a chance at true love. Really enjoyed that the character arcs allowed these characters to get to know each other as adults and grow from there. Solid contemporary romance selection for those who enjoy second chance, small towns, and cozy feels.

Romance: 💞💞💞💞 (I mean – it’s very sweet!)
Sensuality: 💋💋💋 (I liked the foreplay, but anything further faded and I like that on page...)
Intimate Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑 (So there’s a decent amount of foreplay the actual act fades off page)

Should I read in order?
This is book 2 of Sullivan’s Rock Bottom Love series. I didn’t read book 2, but found this one readable alone. The mains from book 1 have page time here and the story sounds fun though so I suggest you give it a go first if you like to know all the characters! (The hero from book 1 is the brother of this book’s heroine)

Basic plot:
Jillian meets her old flame Levi and feelings immediately flare...

Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary romance
- small town setting (Smile, Michigan)
- second chance-ish
- some elements of instalust
- single mom heroine
- chef hero
- childhood friends to lovers
- easy, low angst relationship
- brother’s friend
- low steam – there’s a few kisses and one on page scene of foreplay that then fades for the actual act

Ages:
- hero is 31, heroine is 30

My thoughts:
Yay for a third person contemporary! I always fall into those stories so much easier than first person.

I loved the setting of this book, being from Michigan I could really appreciate these small town dynamics and adorable settings. (But I did question the line about being able to see the mountains??)

But...I love my angst. And this book had zero. The relationship between them was so, so easy. And so sweet. And some of you will really love that so I hope you give it a read. But sadly I was just soooo bored. And with it having no steam either I was just eager to reach then end.

This is a standalone second book in a series. I didn't read the first one, but it wasn't necessary to enjoy this book. This book is perfect for fans of The Game Changer. It's about two adults who had, what they believed to be, unrequited crushes on each other in high school, coming back together as adults and falling in love. What this does well is having the adult versions of these characters get to know one another as adults and not just rely on their ideas of each other. The love was a bit instaloce, which I'm not a fan of. I also didn't love how much time he was with her daughter so quickly. And there was a lot.of unrealistic stuff with the ex husband. Ut this was a cute, quick read. 3 stars. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This series is filled with so much heart and lovely characters. I usually don’t like when romances have the main character admitting their feelings right away because it decreases the tension and can feel very insta-love. But this one was still so good! Because they had been childhood friends and crushes it didn’t feel like insta-love. And because of their past, it kept the tension I love! The characters were so lovely and I hope she will write more stories in this series for some of the side characters that I adored.

"Get Lost With You" - 3 out of 5 Stars
"Get Lost With You" is a charming and well-written cozy romance that evokes a delightful summer camp atmosphere. The story unfolds with a lighthearted and engaging pace, making it a perfect summer read. The author's prose is smooth and easy to follow, creating a comfortable and enjoyable reading experience.
While the romance is sweet and the characters are endearing, the plot may feel somewhat predictable to seasoned romance readers. However, the book's nostalgic summer camp setting and the overall cozy vibe more than compensate for any lack of originality.

If you’re looking for a small town, second chance romance, then this is the book for you. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This second chance small town romance did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down. I wish there had been a bit more angst but other than that no complaints.

Ugh I really wanted to like this book!!

I felt it was a pretty boring second chance romance. Oh my gosh way too much tension between the family members. It also was instantly together romance and just felt super boring to me.

I wanted more and spice between the two. I don’t think I was the right reader for this one.

2.5/5 stars

Thanks to the publisher for my copy.

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to review! 2.5/5 stars
This was really cute: in Michigan Jill and Levi, childhood friends and love interests, finally get their second chance romance opportunity when he moves back home. It's book 2 of a series but I don't think you really need to read book 1 to understand this one, and its full of mostly PG-13 chemistry, some tension, family complications and protective brothers, and a bit of single motherhood and business ownership thrown into the mix. Levi is a chef and a huge cinnamon bun which is adorable.
All in all: this is fun. It isn't very deep, the stakes are really minimal, the third act breakup is pretty silly but resolved really quickly, and everything moves at break neck speed. I think I would have liked a bit more depth, but as I was reading something else at the same time that was VERY intense, this was a nice easy breezy add on.

This was so sweet and the way family was ultimately how the characters got through was so nice. Dual POV, which I love. And the way that everyone gives each other advice-but not stepping out of line- was well written. I love the small town feel, and the way that Get Lost Lodge is out of the way.

I need Grayson's story next, and if his love interest is Lainey, that would be even better!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this one! I have enjoyed other books by this author in the past and was excited to read this one. Unfortunately, this one just fell a little flat for me. Typically I really love a second chance story, but it get like details of their connection as teenagers was missing. There were definitely sweet moments in the book but I found myself asking if anything actually happened. Not a lot of angst or drama was involved and it just felt very formulaic and cookie cutter. Thanks for the opportunity to read it!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

This didn't keep my interest and was mostly boring. I skimmed a lot. The romance is closed door, it's third person, it takes place in a short amount of time. Nothing special. A little too juvenile for me. There were a couple of plot lines that went nowhere. No action, just telling. It was nice to catch up with characters from the first Get Lost book and I will say the very ending was spot on.

Interestingly, I found that this book dragged. And that's interesting because I normally like a book where the characters don't fall into insta-love. But I am finding with Sullivan, that the stories tend to be filled with so many small details that I want it to just get moving. This may work for some, but for me, it feels like the minutia of the day-to-day that I am trying to get away from when I read a book. The romance and characters are solid, and I did not feel like having missed book 1 in the series was a big deal. But nothing about this book made me want to pick up the first book or even continue with the series and Sullivan as an author. In the book's defence, the first time I read Sullivan, I rated her book a 5 star read, so maybe I was just not in the reading or romance mood (it happens).

Jillian and Levi are likeable characters. They do fall back into love with each other relatively quickly - almost insta love which I hate - but they were childhood crushes, so it could be believed. I did want a bit more Andrew in this book just to let that relationship fully run its course, because the main conflict there was resolved so quickly that it really didn't have to be in the book at all to make an impact. And the fact that it led to the break up drove me a bit nuts. Yah, maybe not in a romance mood, because I could see the Jilly-Levi break coming and was cringing over it happening. Why is there always a conflict? For a book that spent so much time on the little story elements, I felt like there didn't have to be this big drama to make things work out. In fact, given the detailed approach to the day-t0-day, it probably would have been stronger if they had just fallen together more.

This is not a bad romance. I think it is just a romance without a lot of plot and, as a such, could have moved a bit quicker. Levi is likeable and interesting. Jillian is fine as a lead. And the other characters sit in the background. Maybe if I hadn't just read something similar that comparable blew me away, I would have been more receptive. But I kept comparing and contrasting even the way that characters from previous books were integrated into the stories.

All in call, a fine read. If you have read Sullivan before and enjoyed her books, this one will likely be a solid addition. Not the best, but still fun enough to get through a winter day. For me, not sure if I will keep reading her books.

I do love a second chance romance, and I enjoyed the first book in the Rock Bottom Love series.

This one I did not like as much, unfortunately. I still liked it, but didn't love it.

Levi and Jillian came across as teenagers sneaking around a lot of the time, rather than the 30-somethings they are.

And Levi's family, well, they need to grow the eff up, remove heads from sphincters and love their kiddos as they are.

I do love the town of Smile, and most of the residents. It was good to get back to see what was happening with the characters we had already met.

Jillian's daughter was the real highlight of the book, and her ex the real lowlife lowlight of it all..

I will read more of the series in the future, it is just that this one was not my favourite.

3.5 Stars

Things I loved:
- Single Mom
- Small town
- Outdoorsy
- Single mom of the cutest girl
- Possibly the best romance cover I have seen in years
- PETE!!!!

Things I didn't love
- The ex husband story felt forced and incomplete
- Levi fell way too hard ....didn't even take into account the real impact of being with someone with a kid or what that meant for his life long friendships
- Levi largely felt written by a woman and wasn't a super believable male character IMO
- Too easy, any conflict felt incomplete / glossed over / forced

Overall I thought the author's writing was solid, this just didn't feel like an absolutely complete romance that would leave me weak at the knees and completely connected with the characters. Having said that, I would absolutely read more of this author because the writing style I really did like.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This is a fun, entertaining, good read. Levi and Jillian are interesting, complex, wounded, strong, intriguing, relatable, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. These two are fun to spend time with. The secondary characters – family, Ollie especially – added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. This book and the series are made up of some interesting characters that add that special something. The story is easy to read and get into.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is the coziest romance that will leave you soft and warm inside.

Sometimes you just need a low angst, cute romance where you can just read without tension. It's a small town romance with a single mom and professional chef and I love that dynamic. Theres something so romantic and I love how they find each other become their own found family. One thing I love how theres history, build up and chemistry between them. It was so sweet and cozy and adorable seeing them fall for each other and make it work. One thing I love the "right person, right time" trope that will be when it's meant to be. Its such a sweet read that will have you swooning and its a must read!

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan has everything a good rom-com needs, small town romance, single mom, second chance love, AND brother's best friend? It's a perfect comfort read, and would make a great Hallmark movie!
Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for my review copy of this fun book!

This book was adorable and fun. Set in a small town where two old friends reunite. Maybe a second chance at love?

This was ok, while I love a good second chance romance this was underwhelming and a little boring. This is not one that will stick with me in any way.
