Love, Naturally

Sophie Sullivan’s Love, Naturally is a charming and heartwarming romance that explores the theme of opposites attracting through a delightful blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The story follows Presley Ayers, a sophisticated concierge accustomed to the luxuries of high society, who finds herself out of her element when a surprise getaway to the rugged Get Lost Lodge goes awry.

When Presley’s boyfriend breaks up with her just before their planned trip, she decides to go solo, determined to experience the nature-filled vacation she had planned. However, her city chic and lack of outdoor skills make her a stark contrast to the lodge’s rustic surroundings. Enter Beckett Keller, the lodge’s rugged caretaker, who is initially bemused by Presley’s apparent mismatch with the wilderness.

Beckett, with his rough exterior and practical approach to life, contrasts sharply with Presley’s high-maintenance lifestyle. Sullivan skillfully uses this contrast to build both tension and humor in the narrative. Beckett’s skepticism about Presley’s ability to cope with the lodge’s demands is both amusing and endearing. As they navigate their differences, their interactions spark genuine chemistry and reveal deeper layers to their personalities.

The novel’s strength lies in its ability to portray the growth and development of both characters as they step out of their comfort zones. Presley’s journey from a polished city girl to someone who finds value and enjoyment in the simpler, more rugged aspects of life is both believable and inspiring. Beckett’s character is given depth through his own struggles and dreams, making his eventual romantic interest in Presley a natural and rewarding development.

Sullivan’s writing is witty and engaging, with a knack for creating relatable, multidimensional characters. The dialogue is sharp, and the romantic tension builds in a way that feels both authentic and satisfying. The setting of the Get Lost Lodge adds a cozy, almost idyllic backdrop to the story, enhancing the charm of Presley and Beckett’s evolving relationship.

Love, Naturally is a delightful read for fans of contemporary romance who enjoy a good opposites-attract storyline. It combines humor, romance, and personal growth in a way that feels fresh and genuine. Sullivan’s novel is a perfect escape into a world where love can bridge even the most unlikely gaps, and where personal transformation often comes from the most unexpected places.
