Love by Design by Evie Knight was a fresh, fun, sexy contemporary romance story that I could not get enough of. Who would have thought that a shoe designer and a cupcake baker would find love? The author created a wonderful love story between Mandy and Tristan, two characters who were very likable yet flawed and their relationship was written realistically with all the ups and downs a couple goes through. I enjoy when the hero unexpectedly falls in love and poor Tristan fights being in any kind of a committed relationship due to his bad childhood. You couldn't help but feel bad for him as he struggled with his feelings but then you also wanted to turn around and smack him for the way he treated Mandy when he ran scared. Mandy had her own self-image issues but Tristan always encouraged her to pursue her dreams. These two were good for each other and I rooted for them to overcome their insecurities and admit their love. The author wrote some very sexy scenes that I thoroughly enjoyed and did a great job in scenes dealing with a friend's betrayal and a tragedy. I loved this book and I'm hoping some of the secondary characters will get their own story one day.
