REVIEW: Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan

Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan: Jillian Keller has finally found the balance and structure she needs in her life, living the peaceful small town life with her darling daughter and helping her older brother run Get Lost Lodge. After dealing with a messy fallout with her ex-husband, the last thing that Jilly wants is to get herself involved with another man, but when her long time crush, Levi, returns home to Smile, Jilly can’t help but get a bit lost in her old feelings, especially now that she knows her crush isn’t as one side as she had always assumed…

Levi was living his fancy dream of being fancy chef in the big city and for the most part it was all he had hoped it to be, but Levi couldn’t help but feel like he was missing something, which is why he decided to return home to reconnect with his friends and rebuild his relationship with his dad. While coming home was about settling down, Levi never could have imagined that it would include connecting with the girl that he had always secretly wanted, who also happens to be his best friends younger sister, Jilly. With the two of them now working together at the lodge, Levi cant help but think this is his chance to finally prove to Jilly that he is the guy for her and Ollie, all he has to do is break down the walls she has put around her fragile heart…

Small town romances are always a win for me and let me just tell you reading Get Lost With Me just felt like a warm hug on a cold winter’s morning. This book was so cute and sweet and had everything that I loved about reading a sweet slow burn second chance romance. This being the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series just made sense, while it can be read as a standalone, I would strongly recommend reading the first book as well, simply because Sullivan knows how to create a beautiful novel that will leave you feeling all happy and warm on the inside. I loved the fact that this was a low angst read and that we knew that a happily ever after was on the horizon, though there were a few parts that felt a bit sluggish and drawn out.

Levi was such a sweetheart, our hero was all in right from the very beginning. I loved the fact that this book had a hero that was not afraid to express himself and that he did not shy away from his feelings. Levi really was a great hero, not only did he know what he wanted but he was ready to prove to Jilly that not all men are the same and that he was in it for the long haul. Really this guy was just an all round adorable hero that was so easy to love. Now for our girl Jilly, well I really can’t blame her for being reluctant to allow anyone into her life after the way things ended with her ex. While she might have had her trust and heart crushed, Jilly did not allow this to cripple her. I loved that she pulled herself together and showed her daughter how to be a strong independent woman. There was something very real about the way she struggled to push aside her self doubts and fears and allow herself to be open and vulnerable.

The chemistry between Levi and Jilly was just perfect. I loved their sweet and playful banter and the way their slow burn connection built up as they spent more time together. One of the things that I really liked about their relationship was the communication, these two knew how to talk things out and didn’t allow issues to fester before talking about it, and I found this refreshing. There were also a whole lot of incredible supporting characters, I loved getting to see Levi bond with Ollie and the fact that he made sure that she to was comfortable with the relationship.

If you are looking for a really sweet, second chance, small town romance then look no further, Get Lost With You is definitely the book to read!

Jillian Keller took the long route to her best life, but is now happily settled in her hometown of Smile, raising her little girl alone while helping her brother run Get Lost Lodge. A lover of structure and routine, she doesn’t need anything, or anyone, disrupting her carefully curated life.

After chasing and achieving his culinary dreams, Levi Bright realizes he’s still missing something. Something he can’t find in a big city. Returning home to Smile, he intends to build a different future for himself that includes mending fences with his dad, reconnecting with friends, and creating elevated comfort food for a town he loves.

When Levi and Jilly run into each other one day in Smile, once requited feelings that never had a chance to bloom as teens flare between them immediately. Jaded from her past, Jilly is cautious and convinced that she can handle being just friends, as the two have to work closely together to prepare for Get Lost’s official summer opening, spending time together, camping, laughing, kayaking, and reminiscing. But when her brother hires sweet, funny, ridiculously hot Levi as the new chef at the lodge, and she and Ollie are getting more attached, things are moving more quickly than she anticipated–and Jilly has been hurt before. If she wants to be head over heels in love, she’ll have to learn that the past doesn’t always repeat itself. Sometimes, it just leads you where you’re meant to be.
