I really enjoyed reading Love Redesigned, the latest novel by British novelist Jo Iles.A well-formulated book, to be expected, and Iles is a capable professional in other areas of her life. She has adapted those skills to writing a beautiful story of second chance love. The characters were believable.There are plenty of tears and smiles in a story of a love between two main characters, Holly and Daniel. Their marriage gets off to a bad start due to an unplanned pregnancy and third party interference.Five-year-old son Harry introduces a lively element to the story and there are touching moments between mother and child and the boy awakens in his father a bond of parental love and maturity that Holly had not witnessed in their early-married life. She too feels the connection and bond toward Daniel and as they agree to a divorce they find their love for each other deepening.Life is complex, and Jo Iles masters the skill of delivering a story of family life, with empathy, humour and great story telling ability.
