Publisher Description
From the “queen of sweet romance” (Falon Ballard) Sophie Sullivan, comes a small-town, opposites-attract romance about two people who end up with more feelings than they bargained for after pursuing a summer fling.
Tired of living in the shadow of her famous parents, Charlotte Ashford gladly left behind a life of glitz and glamour to pursue her true passion: becoming a counselor. However, when a viral video upends Charlie’s plans, she wonders if the real key to discovering herself is through her late father.
Grayson Keller has finally settled in one place, surrounded by family, and secure in his business. By his third summer as owner, Get Lost Lodge is thriving. Whatever happens, Grayson is perfectly content with his quiet life and careful heart. That is, until he meets Charlie, whom he can’t seem to get out of his head.
On the surface, Charlie and Grayson have nothing in common, but they can’t fight their attraction to each other. They’ve both been hurt before, and they’re not looking for anything serious. The solution is easy: they’ll date, have some fun, and walk away unscathed. Right? Or, maybe this once, they can see past the hurt to what, or who, is on the other side waiting for them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The third and final installment of Sullivan's Rock Bottom Love series (after Get Lost with You) is a return to form, providing big feelings and small-town comforts. A viral video of Charlie Ashford's negative reaction to a shocking announcement from her famous mother costs her a counseling job at a prestigious wellness center known for its discretion. Seeking an escape from her unwanted notoriety, she leaves Los Angeles for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where she takes a room at the Get Lost Lodge and a job teaching at a local community college. As a confirmed city girl, Charlie is surprised how much she enjoys the slower pace of small-town life—and how much she likes Grayson Keller, Get Lost Lodge's owner. For his part, Grayson is finally over his painful divorce and undeniably attracted to Charlie, but he knows she's likely only visiting for one semester and doesn't want to get too attached. The meddling of the extended Keller family soon pushes the two together, however. Series fans will enjoy checking in with favorite characters, and the story hits all the expected beats cleanly. It's a solid finale.
