Designing Love (The Calderone Family Romance Series Book 3) by Victoria Grant – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Designing Love by Victoria Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caroline is a career-driven designer with a no dating rule. She wants to focus on being the best at what she does and romance does not have a place in her world. When she is the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, she is paired up with the groom’s brother. Charles has put himself in a dating time-out since his last relationship ended quite badly. However, ever since his brother’s wedding he has had a hard time getting the maid of honor out of his thoughts. While sparks fly between the two, they are both hesitant to start anything when they both are trying to steer clear of relationships. When Caroline is chosen as the lead designer on the new building Charles’ company is building, will they be able to avoid the chemistry between them? Will they take a chance on each other or will they push each other away? You will have to read to find out!

While this is the 3rd book in the series, this book can be read as a standalone. Characters from previous books are a part of this book and I found myself wanting to go and read those books so I could find out their backstory. While Caroline is a strong and career-driven woman, she frustrated me at times with her constant need to argue over everything and get mad at the smallest situations. I recognize, however, that people are like that and tried not to let it irk me too much. I enjoyed Charles as he was searching for the balance between work, family, and love. He is a romantic at heart and I found myself rooting for him throughout the book. This is a nice romantic story that is also quite funny at times.
