I laugh until my lungs hurt.
"I like it when you laugh like that," he says in that quiet, shy voice of his.
A rush of warmth flows through my body, spreading all the way to my toes.
"But I like it even more knowing I'm the reason behind it."

"You may have started out as my rival, but you're so much more than that. You're my business partner and best friend. My greatest challenger and the biggest, brightest Green flag there is.... and hopefully, my future wife."

This book was so cute I absolutely love Lauren Asher's writing this was such a fun and easy read. Julian has become one of my favorites I love how he had a hard outside and was a true big softie the way he protected his family was so beautiful. I really enjoyed Dahlia's character I love how she stood her ground but still was vulnerable in the families eyes. I loved the fact we got to see some of the dreamland men in this book it was small but a little reminder of her previous work and I love when authors do this. I generally can't wait to see more from this series the family aspect was beautifully done and it was so cute seeing how their families worked together. My favourite part from this book was definitely the prank wars I loved how everyone was involved and how just for a minute everyone could have some fun. I can't wait to read more from this series, Rafa's story is one I can't wait to read.

Love Redesigned | Lauren Asher
3.5โ
With the release of Love Arranged on the horizon this month, I had been saving these first two books so I could read the series together as a whole. I found it a bit difficult to stay hooked in the beginning of the story.
Love Redesigned follows childhood rivals Julian and Dahlia, forced together on a house renovation project. Dahlia, the interior designer is met with an undeniable opportunity to help CEO Julian restore a monumental home, while tripling their profits and keeping the historic district intact. Some moments felt a little out of touch - throwing the ring in the concrete mixer, buying a house to spite the ex.. oh to be rich. ๐ I did think these books are overly long, and there were a few cringe worthy moments. I like how Lauren incorporated a crossover with her Dreamland Billionaires series, and iโm excited to continue on and read Ellie and single dad, Rafaelโs story. ๐คญ

okay LISTEN... I really tried to love this book. I TRIED! Was it a good book? Oh 100%. This is my first Lauren Asher book but I have high hopes for the rest of her books.
Going into this one, all I knew was that the FMC was an Interior Designer and the dedication was "To those whose love language is words of affirmation. Your praise kink is safe with me (and Julian Lopez)." SO I WAS PUMPED.
But then disappointed... 1- I'm a professional interior designer. It's what I went to college for, it's what I do now for a living. But every single book I pick up with a character that is a designer, they ALWAYS have some sort of TV show... LIKE UGH majority of us are just normal people with normal lives lol so I think that took me out of the book more than I would have hoped.
2- I don't think the spice lived up to the dedication lol... like okay yes loved the banter, absolutely love Julian and Dahlia together, but where was the praise????
OVERALL- I did enjoy this book and I would recommend it because the tropes were everything and I really loved the childhood friends to enemies to lovers storyline. Literally from the second Julian paid Dahlia for her engagement ring and then threw it in cement, I was in love with him.
So excited for Rafa's book because I did really love learning his story too.
