Rock Bottom Love Series: Book 2
Publication Date: February 11, 2025
A second chance at love, small-town romance that’s all sweet with just a hint of heat from the “queen of sweet romance” (Falon Ballard) Sophie Sullivan.
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 anyone disrupting her carefully curated life.
After chasing and achieving his culinary dreams, Levi Bright realizes he’s still missing something he can’t find in a big city. Returning home to Smile, he intends to build a different future for himself, including reconnecting with family and friends, and creating elevated comfort food for a town he loves.
When Levi and Jilly run into each other, past feelings that never had a chance to bloom flare between them… but she’s been hurt before, and falling for her older brother’s best friend seems like a recipe for drama. But sometimes, a second chance at love leads you right where you’re meant to be.
Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan is the second book in the Rock Bottom Love series. It was great to return to the small town of Smile and the Get Lost Lodge and reconnect with the characters we’ve previously met.
Jillian and Levi are the stars of this second-chance romance. Will the second time around be the charm?
Jillian is a single mother to her daughter, Ollie. Levi is a chef who left at seventeen to attend culinary school in New Hampshire. From there, he worked in restaurants in Vermont, but now he’s decided it’s time to return home to Smile.
Levi and Jill reconnect, and he gets along well with her daughter Ollie, as a friend and father figure. The power of family and friends is a strong theme, and I love how they rely on each other. They also have meaningful conversations and can get mad but reunite and reconcile. There are wonderful descriptions of the lodge, the food, the grounds, and the town.
The story has a good flow, and all the stories and characters are interconnected wonderfully. When Jillian’s ex contacts her out of the blue, Jill stays strong, even if her world gets rocked in more ways than one. But with her friends and family by her side, she manages to figure out what she wants out of her life, and it’s not him and what he offers!
I love the way Jillian and Levi are able to talk and manage to get back on the same page. There’s romance, love, and a strength to the characters. There are layers to the story and characters, and the ending was sweeter than I expected. There’s a happily ever after nicely portrayed in the epilogue.
I look forward to reading more books in the series because Jillian’s older brother, Grayson, needs his story told. Ms. Sullivan is an author whose books I enjoy, and I look forward to reading more of them—not only those in this series.
Get Lost With You is a sweet contemporary romance with friends, family, romance, love, and a powerful work ethic shared by all.
