Reviews with content warning for Infertility - Love Redesigned

When I first heard that Lauren Asher was going to have another Billionaire trilogy, I added that book so fast to my Library holds. I really enjoyed the Dreamland Billionaires series so much and I just knew I would love Love Redesigned just as much. About 150 pages in, I was NOT enjoying it. Major foreshadowing had you knowing the outcome of the book before the reader was even close to finishing. Don't get me wrong I also love a little tease between the two main characters, but Lauren had me waiting for FOREVER it felt like before something happened. But when it finally happened.... WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!!

Love Redesigned tells the story of Julian Lopez of Lopez Luxury construction and that of Dahlia Munoz, a reality tv fixer upper personality, think Joanna Gaines, but spicier. Dahlia and Julian grew up together as competitive rivals, always pushing one another to do their best and at times worst, much to the despair of their best friend mothers. Dahlia is back in her home town of Lake Wisteria after ending her engagement to Julian's college roommate Oliver. Despite Julian's best efforts of keeping his distance from Dahlia, he promises his beloved mother he will help Dahlia get over her creative rut while keeping her mind preoccupied from Oliver. Thus begins the rekindled childhood tug of war of power between the two. will they or won't they end up falling for each other once again like back in college, or are they bond to tear each other apart?

What I really enjoyed about Love Redesigned is the theme of family. That is something that is evident throughout Lauren Asher's books. At the core of Love Redesigned is the love that Julian and Dahlia have for their families, as well as the love that their families have for them and the hope that these two childhood rivals can become the couple they all can see them to be.

full of heart, family, and some spiciness, Love Redesigned had me oohing and awwwing and blushing. Love Redesigned can be read as a stand alone series without having to reading the Dreamland Billionaires series, but a character from that series does come up towards the end, but nothing that you would have you confused on Love Redesigned.

This was super cute! I’m not always a fan of second chance romances, but this was a fun one! I’m always a Lauren Asher fan, and this series will be no exception. Love a good billionaire romance, but even better when it has small town vibes thrown in. LA is the perfect example of how to write a standalone romance series that connects you to her other standalone romance series. I absolutely love the glimpses of Dreamland Billionaires & the Dirty Air series (I need an Elias book Lauren 👀) This was the perfect book to pick up during a reading slump!

Hi!
I would like to order a Julian. To go.
Thank you.

Beside that, it is a slow burn, friends to enemies to lovers, a lot of beautiful declarations, a lot of struggles for the MC (grief, depression), diverses characters (mexicans), billionaire MMC and successful FMC.
