Love Redesigned

I had built so many expectations from this book in my head right since it was announced and I was afraid of it being less than what I had imagined but this book really did not disappoint me. Lauren never fails to deliver and that's why she's one of my top favorite authors! Her writing made me fall in love with Julian & Dahlia's story! This book was quite long but never once did I feel bored I was glued to the pages and read it in one sitting! I just felt that connection between Julian & Dahlia and they were perfect together! The things that Julian secretly did for Dahlia were so heartwarming and he was hands down the best book boyfriend! Dahlia was so amazing, talented and had such a wonderful spirit and I just wanted her to heal her soul and I was so glad that Julian played a huge part in bringing her happiness back! He did push her away but all those years apart really made them realise how much they missed each other. The side characters especially Julian & Dahlia's mom's were so chaotic, I just loved seeing them! They were literally the best matchmakers lol! I read all the extra epilogues and those Kane family appearances were so awesome! Overall, this was a very enjoyable read and I'm already excited for the next book.

Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher brings us into a new town which revolves around new characters but same vibes. Julian and Dahlia kept each other on toes and I loved how Julian was ready to communicate and show that he wanted Dahlia in his life. I love me a good second chance romance and this book gave me all the good feels. If you love these tropes, this book is for you : 💜billionaire mmc 💜second chance romance 💜latina rep 💜small town setting 💜childhood academic rivals 💜banter galore

It’s about Dahlia and Julian, who have a complicated past, gets pushed back into each other’s lives. What begins as old grudges slowly transforms into something deeper, softer, and impossible to ignore. What I loved most was the writing it flowed so smoothly, with just the right balance of emotion and humor. The banter between Dahlia and Julian was soo good!! the kind that makes you smile and reread a line just to enjoy it again. chef’s kiss 😘 And Julian?? Omggg he was such a gentleman, the kind of hero who makes you melt without even trying. The whole book felt like a warm hug. Sweet, funny, and a little swoony in the best way. If you’re into enemies-to-lovers with great chemistry, this one’s gonna hit the spot🫶🏻🫶🏻.

I hoped to like it more than I did. It seemed kind of predictable and plain to me. Tropes - Childhood rivals/enemies to lovers - Second-chance romance - Small Town - fwb - one bed

✧⁠*⁠。love redesigned.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ I actually devoured this book. I don't know where to start. Actually it has a perfect blend of small town and billionaire tropes with a tinch of meddling family, just added the flavour. I mean to say it's perfect. Julian and Dahila have known each other since forever and the competition between them also felt like forever. They have the best banter. The push and pull in the entire book is worth reading. I don't know how to frame it but "JULIAN" is the perfect book boyfriend. This man has patience and he is kind and charming though he is a little broody and grumpy (no complaints). Talk about Dahila omg she has my heart. The whole vulnerability plot and all the insecurities in the book she has ; totally relatable in many ways! So yeah though I read people saying that she is irritating blah blah blah and annoying in some parts!!! I didn't connect with that! I love this girl.Period!!!! That's all I guess!!! And with that this would be the last big caption of 2023 and i am glad I saved it for the last week of 23. My love for Lauren 📈📈📈📈📈 And if it any motivation; there are Declan, iris, cal, Cami and alana's cameo in the book! You will get to see DECLAN🌚❤️😭 Xoxo

This review is solely based on the product quality. These are original first of all. And the quality is mindblowing. Secondly the reason I rated it 4 stars is because the packaging is not good. Like c'mon could you atleast bubble wrap the books? Or declare it as fragile? I hate when even a minute part or edge is crooked. Like it irks me very much!!!

I love this book! It was a little slow in the beginning, probably because it’s the first book in the series, but that didn’t bother me at all. I love small town romance books and this one was such an amazing read. This book also has a map(another plus point!). So excited to read Rafa’s story next!!

Man muss Slow-burn lieben, um das zu lesen, aber unabhängig davon, war es ein unfassbar gut geschriebenes und mitreißendes Buch. Die tension war mega und man konnte sich super in die Charaktere hineinversetzen. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen!

Julian Lopez is my new book boyfriend. I don’t even care if I have to fight Dahlia for him… I will. ‘Love Redesigned’ is the first book in the Lakefront Billionaires series by Lauren Asher. It also happens to be the first book I’ve read by this author too. Honestly, I went into this without many expectations, however, I’m so glad to say that I loved every second of it. Julian and Dahlia were everything; I always had a smile on my face or just couldn’t help not laughing at something or other!! Both of these characters struggled with their own personal issues. A lot of topics were explored in the book. Whether that be from grief to mental health and insecurities, this book had it. I liked how these topics were talked about, they didn’t go too deep as to make the book sad but they were present enough to show us how these such things effected the characters. After going through a divorce, Dahlia returns home to find support in her family when she finds out about her fertility issues. She struggles come to terms with her reality, and while she’s experiencing a depressive episode she’s reunited with her childhood rival who helps her through it by offering her a challenge. Julian gives Dahlia an opportunity she can’t pass up… renovating the Founders House—the one she’s had her eye on for years. Together, they put their skills together to bring the house back to life. In the process Dahlia and Julian get a second chance at love. JULIAN?! OMG THIS MAN!! he had it BADDD!! I loved his character so much. In every action he made he was showing us how much he cared for Dahlia, even when they weren’t supposed to feel for one another. He struggles with his own insecurities, and the believe that he’s not enough—for Dahlia. I loved how he gives himself a chance too by going after is passion of carpentry again. Julian finally going back to his father’s workshop was a great show of his own progress. At first, Julian makes a show of not caring for Dahlia but the façade is broken numerous times. In everything he does, all of his little actions he shows that he cares and still thinks of Dahlia—whether it’s taking her to the next town over for better care, or buying her favourite foods—no matter what Julian does she affects all of his thoughts and actions from the beginning. "Whatever it is, I’ll fix it. Whoever hurt her, I’ll ruin them. And whenever she needs someone to lean on, I will be there." …hell, that’s proven in the fact that he buys a house for them to renovate—yes, he was asked by his mother to do so but he’s a grown man he could have said no—Julian did it because he cares and wanted to help Dahlia. And finding out Julian had decorated his bedroom with Dahlia’s decor line was the sweetest thing. It showed just how obsessed he’s been with her; that no matter how much distance was between them he followed Dahlia’s career and supported her. “He stares up at me like one does the sun—in equal parts pain and wonder.” AND DAHLIA! I LOVE HER. There were definitely some instances where I felt as if I could relate to her. Her depression and anxiety were portrayed in a way that I could recognise. She struggles a lot to come to terms with who she is; she had to find herself again post breakup. It was so great to see her development over the course of the book as she learned to trust her own intuition. She learned to love herself again; to believe in her abilities and not doubt the truths of others. In the beginning, she didn’t have much energy to get out of bed but that changed along the way, we see how she finds motivation to get up and leave the house. "When did we go from wanting to murder each other to wanting to murder for one another?" A favourite moment of mine would have to be the pranks. I loved how Dahlia pranked Julian by giving his office a Christmas makeover; so then Julian returned the favour—was the house haunted? or was it just Rafa and Julian? “Life without you was a series of pros and cons. Risks and rewards. Black and white with very few shades of gray. But then you came back and flipped a switch inside me, flooding my world with color after a ten-year blackout, and I don’t plan on giving that up. Not now. Not ever.” Now, the banter in this book was so great. I loved the whole dynamic. We have these two close knit families who love and care about one another. Rosa and Josefina had me smiling, Lily brought the laughter, Rafa served with his grumpiness and Nico… well he just melted my heart. I haven’t read Lauren Asher’s Dreamland Billionaire series, but I definitely enjoyed the snippets of the character in this book which means I’ll probably go back and read them at some point. Rafa and Ellie? Lily and Lorenzo? If you’re telling me that these aren’t the couples of the next books in the series I refuse believe you. "I plan on making this woman mine in every sense of the word. Mine to love. Mine to marry. Mine to cherish for as long as we live."

The forced proximity and the enemies to lovers in this just had me devouring it. I listened to it on audiobook and those narrators 💕💕💕 I love them, they’re so perfect.

I loved it, the characters, the dynamics, the family, the cameos. I want a Julian in my life, beng a fixer myself we could fix each other :) He was kind, generous, he cared about his people, always making sure they were doing okay, before taking care of his own problems. I loved how he easily understood Dahlia, he is the example of "if he wanted to he would", he knew what she needed and did everything to make it happen. I liked his character, I appreciated the fact that he wanted to settle down and not just be alone, but what I enjoyed the most was his arc, like Dahlia he gradually found joy again in what he was doing: he decided to be less involved in his company work and find the courage to come back to his father woodshop, an hobby/job that really stimulates him and makes him happy. Dahlia my baby, her depression and anxiety were very realistic and my heart hurts for her. I appreciate how she was able to get through these dark days and regain confidence in herself and joy in her work. She's so strong, I admire her sm, I loved her development, how she finally understood that she wasn't the problem, leaved the toxic people in her life, started working on herself to get better and doing what she felt right. I could feel the tension between them since page one, their banter was chef kiss, they are perfect for eachother. I liked everything about them: the pace of their relationship, Julian's gestures, the pranks, the competition between them.

Love Redesigned was one of my most anticipated reads for this year and it did NOT disappoint. Swoonworthy, beautiful and simply everything everything. Lauren Asher wrote a beautiful story between two characters who were always meant to end up together. In their own way they had to come to terms with certain things and although it took them a bit to get there, it was worth it. 𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒑 𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒏 - 𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓. The banter was on fire, I laughed many many times. Absolutely hilarious at times. And what made it even better was that the chemistry between Dahlia and Julian sizzled. Yes it is a slow burn but gosh it ATE.
