I immediately fell in love with this world Lauren Asher has created. The characters are multi-layered and stories filled with so much heart.

What I loved most:
Julian is everything! Seriously, just an all around perfect specimen of romance hero.
The history between these two brings an emotional level that I didn’t anticipate but thoroughly enjoyed.

Overall, the book was a little longer than my preference but I was completely entertained throughout.

Love the series! And love for Asher! She has a way of bringing full-fledged dynamic characters to life and making you root for them at every step of the way.

Love Redesigned by Lauren Asher is such a delightful read! I absolutely loved the chemistry between the characters—there’s just something about the slow-burn tension and banter that kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters feel real, and I really enjoyed watching them grow both individually and together. The pacing was just right, and I found myself invested in their journey.

A second chance dripped with I cannot stand you enemies to lovers with a family fully rooting for them and their love. This was a great read

This wasn’t bad but it was also not great? I feel like Lauren Asher is just not for me but the premise of the story was interesting and I’m sure someone out there will love it.

I actually only ever made it halfway through this book. I thought I'd love it because I have loved similar concepts but this one was actually just boring. Like not memorable at all.

Truly another enticing Lauren Asher book.

The dynamic between these two characters had me locked in and rooting for them from page one. This is up there with my favorite by her, Redeemed. So happy she's back with the five-star reads for me!

Please stop making these romance books so f*cking long. Why was it 500 pages?

Honestly my least favorite Lauren Asher book which sucks. I might read the next one here but I don’t know.

I beg you to make these 350 pages. Or make the characters not boring.

On the plus side loved the mental health rep? Sigh.

Lauren Asher is truly a gift to me and the romance world. This was so butterfly inducing, all I could do is read, and read some more, and read even more. This was breathtaking and so much fun, as is every Lauren Asher book. I can’t wait to pick up the next!

After getting into the Dreamland Billionaires series last year, I was stoked to read more of Lauren Asher's books. This book was a good start to the Lakefront Billionaires series - Dahlia and Julian were fun to read about and their romance was solid. My only drawback on this one was that I think it could have been significantly shorter and not lost any of the important plot beats.

I listened to this on audio and really enjoyed it! I do think it was a bit long, but the small town setting was so cute and I loved the dynamic between the hero and heroine, especially when the hero got protective around the heroine when her ex was involved. The premise was fun with him being a billionaire and her being someone who works in home renovation. I'm excited to see what's next in the series!!

After devouring the Dreamland Billionaires Series by Lauren Asher, I was thrilled to learn she'd be writing a spin-off series. And what better way to kick off the series than with a rivals-to-lovers romance!

First of all, one of my favorite things about Lauren Asher is her inclusivity with her protagonists. It's not often I see Latin-x representation in mainstream romance, so to be able to relate to both the hero and heroine because of their name, culture, and life experience, was particularly meaningful. Now on to the romance...

There's nothing I love more than good banter in a romance, and the rapport between Dahlia and Julian is nothing short of electric. Their every interaction sizzles with chemistry, and I loved their playful teasing and fiery passion. The author puts so much thought and care into developing her characters, making them multi-dimensional and unapologetically baring their every flaw to the readers. Because of this, I felt a stronger connection to these characters, and was more invested in the outcome of their story.

Hopelessly romantic, outrageously steamy, and emotionally gripping, Love Redesigned is a complex, absorbing love story that had me hooked from start to finish. It was the perfect introduction to the Lakefront Billionaires Series, and I look forward to what comes next.

I absolutely adored this book! I was hooked on both Julian and Dahlia right from the start. They're genuinely made for each other. Their banter was everything, and the slow burn was immaculate. Julian was so sweet—he sets the standard for all book boyfriends. Dahlia truly is a queen—so resilient and deserving of the entire world.

I seriously can’t wait for the next book! Thank you to Lauren and Bloom Books for sending me an ARC of this book.

I really, really wanted to like this book. The premise sounded good and I was excited to try the author. Unfortunately, it fizzled pretty quickly. The characters just didn't grab me and I was bored.

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!!

Tropes:
- Second chance
- Childhood rivals
- Billionaire
- Small town
- Slow burn

Julia and Dahlia are EVERYTHING to me! The tension in this was incredible and the things this man did and said?! Completely swoon worthy I love him so much. I was laughing, tearing up and could not put this book down until it was over and even then I wanted more!

Thank you #netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review
