Summary:
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.

Review: This story follows Presley who had a trip planned with her boyfriend but is dumped and decides to go on that trip herself where she meets a guy. I’ve read Sullivan’s books in the past and enjoyed them. This one was also well-written and I liked the small-town setting of Lake Michigan. The pacing was well done and I liked the cute story this book had to offer. I do wish there were more conflicts in the story as it did feel like a basic story most of the time. This story is told from both Beckett and Presley’s pov.
Beckett is helping out at the lodge and decides to help Presley by offering is place. I really enjoyed his character and liked how caring of a person he was. I do wish we got to see more of him and his development. Then there is Presley who is proving that she can go on this trip without her ex and finds love again. I loved her character and seeing her development throughout the book. There are many side characters in this book and I really loved how caring they were of Presley. The romance is friends to lovers and instant love which was cute and well done.
The ending was a HEA and very normal for the story. The book was great but I do have to say that there weren’t big conflicts or events that made the story remembering. I did enjoy it and would say it’s a good beach read but if I’m looking for a cute romance, this wouldn’t be it as there’s not much going on.
