"His selfless, understated kind of love is the one I spent years searching for but never found—until now."
lauren is quite literally the only writer that can make me enjoy a book that is written in present tense
i felt like it went by really fast and i can't decide if that's a good thing or not but that's honestly a me thing so! also THE DREAMLAND BILLIONAIRE CHARACTERS CAMEOS!!!! probably one of my favorite things about this book like that's my family i love them and i would read 56 more books about them
now onto the actual main characters of the book, they're lovely i just feel like i couldn't connect with them? still, loved their story and it was really cute to see the whole frenemies to lovers thing. i loved how julian would literally do anything for dahlia:
“So, feel free to say no, but I have this crazy request—”
“Done.”
like yes exactly that's how all men should act
(this next point might just be, again, a me thing because i'm a native spanish speaker) i kiiiind of have this feeling that the spanish in the book could've been better, like yes it was technically correct but no one that speaks spanish says "te amo tambien" instead of "tambien te amo" or "yo tambien te amo" like i've never heard anyone say "te amo tambien"
that aside, really cute romcom i would recommend this to pretty much everyone!! also loved that it was set around the holidays very fitting for the release date
if i had to predict the next two books:
• rafa and ellie
• lorenzo and lily (soooooo seated)

I wanted to love this, but "Love Redesigned" was such a disappointment. The author seemed to use a "romance trope bingo card" as their sole outline, resulting in a story with no soul or coherence.
Let's count the tropes crammed into one book: enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance, friends-to-lovers, friends-with-benefits, the one bed trope, forced proximity, the classic "drunk girl saved by boy in a bar," and sudden, unearned jealousy/possessiveness. And yes, of course, the male lead is an unrealistically portrayed billionaire.
With so many tropes fighting for attention, the characters have zero depth. They are flat vehicles for moving from one clichéd scene to the next. There is no organic growth or believable connection, just a bunch of scenes glued together. I finished the book feeling absolutely nothing for the couple.

“Whatever it is, I’ll fix it. Whoever hurts her, I’ll ruin them!”
Firstly Thank NetGalley and the publisher for the audio ALC of this book. Please note this gift has not affected the way in which I have reviewed this book.
LoveRedesigned by LaurenAsher is book one in the LakefrontBillionaires series, and is a 4.5 ⭐️ read.
Love Redesigned is a steamy small-town romance about two family friends-turned-childhood rivals. It is the first book in the stand-alone Lakefront Billionaires series and has a happy ending.
It’s such a sweet and heartwarming story of how the FMC and MMC go from disliking rivalry, to their true feelings coming to light. However, it’s not an easy road. Will they ever be able to put their past aside and see what the future holds for them?
Favourite Quote: “When did we go from wanting to m*rder each other, to wanting to m*rder *for* one another?”
Spicy Level - 🌶️🌶️🌶️
