Bostock takes the heart on a sentimental scavenger hunt. At it’s best, it’s romantic. At it’s worse, it’s heartbreaking, but Love by Design is always entertaining. One building, two ideas. Zander and Jade are brought together by a difference of opinion, but plans have a tendency to change. Can a glimpse into the past give these enemies a future? Bostock packs endless emotional A hauntingly, beautiful romance.
These two are so cute together, even being on the opposite sides when it comes to a couple things. I enjoyed watching their love story enfold and seeing it work out perfectly.
Jade has guts! She stands up to Zander, who is about to renovate her building to protect the stairs that her parents fell in love on. That is only the beginning of this romance. I love the banter between Jade and Zander. The cameos from the other characters in the series was a great glimpse into what they are doing now. I really enjoyed this last book in the series. It really tied up all the books, and created a happy ever after for the series. I could not get enough of all of these characters. Zander and Jade are a fun couple. You would not expect them to get together, but once they do, you will not want them any other way. Jade is a fiesty, head strong woman, who gives Zander a run for his money. This was such a fun story, I could not stop listening.
I loved the consistency of one narrator for the entire series. Once again, Melissa Schwairy brings this story to life. Her easy to listen to voice, helped me get lost in the story. Through her narration, I felt as if I was right there within the pages. I look forward to listening to more from Ms. Schwairy.
Zander and Jade were always at odds literally, at a weekly Poker game..She played out of necessity, and Zander played for fun. She is a little spitfire, not afraid to back down to follow her heart. Zander is so competitive in everything he does. Their personalities clash. Her determination to save her apartment building from extensive remodeling is interfering with Zander’s plans. The sparks and electricity between the two are undeniable. The sex is, oh my, hot and steamy. Melissa Schwairy narration is so good. She flows from one character to another with ease.I

Zander Morgan doesn’t like to lose, but when he starts to lose in the poker game for Jude Deveraux, he needs to think of a way to get to know her better.
When an unexpected encounter puts them face to face in a bar, the attraction between them is undeniable.
While both struggle with the attraction they feel, Jade does everything to protect the building where she lives, The Rink, since it was the place where her parents became engaged.
And Zander wants to do everything he can to win the award for best architect of the year, just by renovating the place where Jude lives.
The little fights and encounters between them are perfect, but will they be able to find a way to benefit both of them and preserve the relationship between them?
I loved the story and the characters. I highly recommend the reading.
My favorite guy. The past should not forecast your future. Sometimes you have to just take it and make it your own. Zander. I have been in love with you from the few glimpses that I have gotten of you in the past. Jade and Zander are a mix that can go far. A preservationist and an architect. Both have different reasons for wanting a stake in the Rink. What turns in to one wanting something from the other they find each other. Their so-called opportunity becomes so much more.
Even if I hadn’t read the previous books to this series, I would have been in love with Zander. He ws more or less out to redeem himself in the eyes of the design community. He was known for something that he was happy to do at the time but did not want it to be the end all and be all of who he was. I loved how Bostock blending these two opposites and made the almost compatible. The challenge was their differences.
I loved the characters. The situation they were in. Watching how they navigated the situation and turned it in to love.
Love by Design by Ashley Bostock is book 4 in the Irresistible Billionaires Series. This is the story of Jade Devereaux and Zander Morgan. I haven’t yet read the previous book but felt it could be a standalone book. Zander is a wealthy CEO who created a architectural design app that is very popular but what he really wants to be known for is his architectural designs. Zander feels that if he can get his designs noticed for The Rink he could possible win the Architectural Award. Jade is a landmark preservationist and very passionate about preserving landmarks. When she learns that The Rink is going to be going through changes in its design she of course is upset.
Both Jade and Zander are very passionate about their sides but there is also the growing passion between the two. Can these two work out a solution to have both of their goals and their passion?
Really enjoyed their story.
