Love by Design by Evie Knight is another welcome addition to her book library. This is the story about up and coming shoe designer Mandy Roberts. By day, she is the personal assistant to Eloise, an uptight rich bitch. When she is not working, Mandy can be found sketching new shoe designs and looking for potential fashion opportunities. Her best friend Jude, has some guys that turn her sketches and material choices into pieces of wearable shoe art. Too bad Jude turns out to be a conniving weasel.Tristan James is a successful cupcake baker. He owns his own store and his cupcakes are considered to be the best around. Tristan built his small empire by working hard and never turning his back on the people who helped him while growing up through the foster care system. When Mandy begins frequenting his store, he can't help but be enamored.Mandy and Tristan are a great couple, with the exception of their constant breaking up and getting back together, which I found slightly annoying. Their lust for each other evolves quickly and Ms. Knight does an excellent job of crafting love scenes that are sensual, hot and steamy. Luckily, Mandy and Tristan are able to work through their baggage and phobias in order to find a future together.I really liked this book. Shoe designing and cupcakes, a perfect combination to both the foodie and shopper in me. Ms. Knight's descriptions are so good, I wanted to devour Tristan's gourmet cupcakes and try-on Mandy's fabulous shoes. Overall, a fun, refreshing read that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
