Love, Naturally

Sullivan (A Guide to Just Being Friends) sets this sweet contemporary in a picture-perfect Michigan small town populated by a wonderfully welcoming cast. Overworked hotel concierge and social media influencer Presley Ayers finally has vacation time and plans a surprise trip to a fishing lodge in northern Michigan as a birthday present for her boyfriend, Emmett—who is less than thrilled, arguing that they’re not serious enough for a couple’s vacation, much to Presley’s shock. So she goes alone, despite her lack of interest in the kind of rustic living Get Lost Lodge offers. When the air conditioning in her lodge room malfunctions, Beckett Keller, the resort owner’s brother, offers his cabin as a temporary refuge. Soon, Presley and handsome, outdoorsy Beckett are head over heels—but can their different lifestyles stand the test of time? Sullivan makes it easy to invest in Presley and Beckett from the start, and the supporting characters charm: Beckett’s outspoken niece Ollie steals every scene she’s in, her mother Jillian is an instant best friend for Presley, and older guest Bernie Dayton is a wise delight. This opposites-attract romance will capture readers’ hearts. (Jan.)
