Julian, the man that you are.

Another win from Lauren Asher. Dahlia and Julian are top tier and serve the best banter. Childhood rivals turned to lovers? Incredible. He pays attention to everything about her, and loves so hard.

He literally bought her engagement ring off of her so that he could throw it in cement!

Also Nico is so precious, cannot wait for Rafa’s book💖

5 Stars, would read again and again!!

God this book was so good!!! I loved reading about Dahlia and Julian's love story. The little moments between them were my favorite!! And the banter? AMAZING. The chemistry and tension? ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING

Although I will say that this didn't need to be this long I am glad that it was. This was an amazing story that I could not put down. I loved it! The characters were fabulous and the story was perfect.

Love Lauren Asher and this is a start of a great series! Loved the characters, went through the roller coaster of all emotions, and came out smiling. Julian and Dahlia were every good frenemy to forever and I couldn't help but laugh out loud during moments and want to cry at others. Loved reading their journey and could've read another round of them!

This is a new billionaire romance from author Lauren Asher from the Lakefront Billionaires series. Featuring our main characters Julian and Dahlia, with cameos of characters from the Dreamland Billionaires series, childhood rivals-to-lovers who have flirty banter and lots of tension. There were parts that felt a little juvenile and it did begin to drag a lot but it did give the same energy as the Dreamland series. It was definitely a right-person-wrong-time type of book with our FMC needing to get over her past relationship which led to a lot of miscommunication with the MMC. This could have easily been condensed more but the side characters really shined within this book and if you liked the Dreamland series, you’d like this.

Lauren Asher is a no skip author for me!!!
The banter was like no other! Julian is the epitome of “if he wanted to, he would”, i was blown away by how much love he had for Dahlia, he never let her personal struggles cloud his commitment or dedication to her, and it was truly the sweetest thing to read. At times i felt like his love was her took center stage, and he didn’t get the same effort in return. Dahlia was a very guarded Mc which makes sense because of her past experiences but i felt like their connection was a bit one sided at times, and had their effort been equal, it would have added a bit more depth to the romance and story overall, but nonetheless i loved it!

This was so cute! A great enemies to lovers with dual POV. It has second chance, billionaire, childhood friends. Basically all the great tropes!

With this being only the second book I’ve read from Lauren Asher, I don’t know if her writing is different in this book from her other books but I found it to be choppy. Scenes would end abruptly and there were several small scenes in one chapter that just left me struggling to follow the flow.

My biggest issue was the female character in this book. I was absolutely sympathetic to her struggles with infertility and trust, she had every right to struggle because of these things. However, she used these struggles as excuses to be rude and childish towards Julian, when he was doing everything to show her how he felt. While he was overly childish at times also, the patience this man had for this woman was abundant. If someone told me they loved me, and then said they regretted to say that not a few minutes later for no logical reason, consider me done with you.

I enjoy how attentive Julian was, and I did enjoy seeing Dahlia find herself in the end, and their story was cute, but I spent much more time frustrated then I did happy.

Thank you NetGalley and SourceBooks Bloom Books for this arc!

4.5/5 stars!

This was such a funny, relatable, heartwarming, and emotional read. Lauren Asher is here to get you right in the feels again! I ate this up and want more please 🥹

Love Redesigned is a great introduction to Asher’s new series . Julian and Dahlia are childhood friends who go from rivals to lovers. Asher does a great job building an emotional love story built on second chances and childhood rivalry. The side characters shine bright, and it was exciting to see callbacks from Lauren’s other series. As amazing as the romance is, a lot of this book is focused on Dahlia and Julian’s journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Dahlia is dealing with anxiety and depression after a bad break-up along with finding out some life-changing news. Dahlia tries to push herself and make sure she is doing everything she can to improve her mental health. I found Dahlia’s character to be inspiring and her struggles to be realistic. Meanwhile, Julian buries himself in his job to avoid dealing with the loss of his father. Julian knows he has made some bad choices and Dahlia pushes him to confront his past.

When you add in the pranks, their meddling families, and plenty of witty banter, this book is a perfect start to a new series, and I can’t wait to read the next one.

I absolutely loved this one. I’m a Lauren asher stan first and human second. Ugh this one hit all the feels and was such a great read, I was so into it I read it in a day🫣 ALSO THE CANE BROTHER CAMEOS I DIED OMG!!! I absolutely love julian and dahlia, they’re so cute and had me kicking my feet and giggling. there banter was also everything. julian 🧎, the men lauren writes >>>. absolutely adored this book and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Lauren Asher does it again! This book has all of the heart of her past books and I just loved these characters. I loved this start to the series and can’t wait for the next!

My favourite Lauren Asher book yet!! Everything about this was so well done from the characters, to the story to the chemistry! This was the billionaire trope done so well and the rivals to lovers was chefs kiss! Lauren had me giggling and swooning over Julian and Dahlia! For a single second I never wanted to put this down and absolutely devoured every moment!
Highly recommend!

If you love billionaires and second chances then you won't want to miss this new series from Lauren Asher. Trust, betrayal, mental health, childhood friends, and so much shenanigans.

In a world where Julian can have anything he desires the one thing he craves he lost years ago. What will happen when he discovers his childhood crush has returned home?

Dahlia has returned home to escape the media and figure out her next step. Can she survive opening up her heart again?

What will happen when the pranks put them in danger of risking their rekindling? Will it tear two families apart again or finally bring them closer?

A slow burn that just scorches with a solid plot arc that delves into the characters in the most delicious way. While there is mention of interconnected characters from the Dreamland Billionaires this can be read as a standalone. Now I plan to dive into that series!

I can't wait to read the next installment!

I think I have realized that Lauren Asher is just a not-for-me author. This book fell flat from the jump and I couldn't bring myself to read more than 25%. It felt like every other Lauren Asher book I've read. I fully understand why she is popular with readers, and know that this will be enjoyed by many, but just not for me.

I didn't feel the chemistry from the jump... I've heard great things but this one wasn't really doing it for me, I didn't particularly like either character.

This is such a cute and delightful romance. I love Julian and Dahlia and how they come together despite all their head-butting and differences! The banter was top tier and it was just a fun romance from beginning to end. Can’t wait for Lorenzo!!!

4.75🌟 i absolutely adored this book! julian would quite literally do anything for dahlia and i'm not exaggerating. the small town setting, coupled with their history together made for a romance where the characters were able to grow together and be around each other in such an organic way. their families were so much fun too and i can't wait to see more of them as we go through the series!
