The Plot (from Goodreads):
Presley Ayers is not the woman you bring on a camping trip. An accomplished concierge at an exclusive hotel in Great Falls, MI, she knows more about the top ten places for champagne and caviar than she does about the best hiking boots to go stomping around near Lake Michigan. But when she surprises her boyfriend of eight months with a vacation to the Get Lost Lodge and he dumps her instead, Presley decides to rough it solo and take the trip herself.
When Beckett Keller helps the gorgeous woman off the rickety boat and onto Lodge territory, it’s clear she’s made a mistake. She doesn’t like hiking, fishing, or nature in general, so why did she go on this trip?―but he’s got other things on his mind. A crumbling lodge, and his own plans and dreams that are forever deferred―so he doesn’t have time for Ms. Fish-Out-of-Water. But neither Beckett or Presley can help that inexplicable draw they feel towards each other. He’s all rough stubble and plaid shirts, while she’s all high heels and brand-name athleisurewear.
But you know what they say about opposites.
A charming opposites-attract romance, Love, Naturally is for anyone who ever stepped outside their comfort zone and found that all the best things can happen when you take a chance.
My Review:
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.
Julie Rogers nailed the audio performance. I look forward to more from her in the future.
