There is nothing flawed about Flawed Love by Bella Jewel. I absolutely loved this second installment of The House of Obsidian Series and devoured it in one sitting. Flawed Love managed to incorporate two of my favorite kind of trope into the story-line: Friends to Lovers and Second Chance Romance.

I really don't want to go in depth or spoil anything for the readers because this book was brimming with so much passion, intensity, raw emotions and chemistry that it had me addicted to the story of Emalie and Rainer. I will just say that I loved that majority of the POV was Emalie because it allowed readers to really connect with her and understand the emotional roller-coaster that Rainer was putting her through. Ms. Jewel did a fabulous job interlacing the past with the present by showcasing of how deep the chemistry and love that Emalie had for Rainer. It was the kind of burning love, one has for a destined soul mate and lover. I will just say that Ms. Jewel really captured the raw emotional struggle of Rainer and Emalie as they tried to navigate and figure out their wants, needs, and desires. In all honestly, Ms. Jewel reminded us that when it comes to really loving someone, sometimes you have to let them go and if they come back to you then you know its yours. And that message was really emphasized into this story line towards the end and I loved that. Flawed Love was hands down my favorite of the House of Obsidian Series because the writing, storytelling, and character developments were beautifully well executed. So if you are looking for a book that is gripping and yet heart-tugging then I highly recommend you to read Flawed Love by Bella Jewel.

This was another short read, but with such great back story that will really let you dig deep in the life, love and pain that each character had gone through. The way they meet again and started seeing each other was unexpected. Even though Rainer didn’t remember who Emalie was, he felt a pull that kept him coming back for more. It was suppose to be casual sex and nothing more, but Emalie was breaking the more she spent them with him knowing he was in love with another woman. How can he ever give them a chance if he doesn’t really know who Emalie is? How will he ever care for her when he keeps putting Pippa first? Yes Pippa was a sweet person, but at times she was a bit too much. The way she made Rainer, specially Emma feel about her jealousy was selfish. Emalie maybe have spent a lot of time crying, but she was such a strong character to go through what she went through and still fight for the love she lost. This was an emotional love story, that will make you fall in love and feel for each characters pain. Rainer will make you fall in love with the man that he and is, he very much a protector that thinks of everyone but himself. The way this story unfolded before me was beautiful and the ending was worth every emotion that this book brought out of me. Love it.
