Fifteen years ago, a young Genevieve Haywood, left France to care for her father who was ill. She left behind her heart with Roman Duchaine, an aspiring fashion designer, whom she believed loved her as much as she loved him. But when he replaced her with someone new almost immediately, it left her shattered, and Genevieve is forced to suffer a tragedy alone, broken and destroyed.
Back in the present and we find Genevieve and her BFF Daniel, arriving in France, to celebrate Genevieve's cousin's wedding. Having created an independent and satisfying career working in a bakery, she longs to open her own specialist cake business back home in Atlanta.
Spending time in France ultimately leads her to think of Roman, the man she loved, who let her down. When she is thrown face to face with him - he is the groom's cousin, and the dress designer for the wedding - she is confused by his obvious anger towards her. As their attraction sparks to life again, they learn that they had been cruelly ripped apart all those years ago by a third party who wanted Roman for herself. Roman has always loved Genevieve and is now ready for them to start a life and a family together. But Genevieve doesn't believe that she can exist in the limelight of his celebrity, and is terrified of losing the independence that she fought so hard to create. If their relationship didn't work out, she knows, that this time she would not survive. Can Roman prove to her that she always was and always will be the one he loves? And how will he react when he learns of the horrific ordeal Genevieve suffered all those years ago?
LOVE REDESIGNED by Sloane B. Collins is an enjoyable story of passion, heartbreak and finding the courage for a second chance. Genevieve has gone through so much and has become a strong, self reliant person, because of what has happened to her. Roman is sexy, persistent and open with his feelings for Genevieve, and I loved him instantly. The fact that they were kept apart all those years ago, and the sad consequences of their separation, adds a heartbreaking element to their love story, that made me tear up.
LOVE REDESIGNED by Sloane B. Collins is a beautiful, romantic, heartfelt story and I look forward to reading more from this author.
