I absolutely adored this book! Love Redesigned will live in my head rent free for ages to come. Lauren's writing is so delightful and a joy to read.

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!!

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!
