Flawed Love

House of Obsidian Series #2

By: Bella Jewel

Narrated by: Lidia Dornet, Roger Wayne

Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more. He became my best friend when I was 13 years old. From then on,we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak. But I always thought it was forever. Until his father died and things went bad. Then suddenly he disappeared. Ten years and I didn't see or hear from him. Then came the call I'd been praying for - he was back in town. Only the man I remembered is not him. This man is quiet, deadly, and so incredibly beautiful. He also doesn't remember me. He looks into my eyes and sees nothing. So, I let him believe I'm just a girl who walked into his bar. I let him use me on the cold, dark nights. I let him believe that I am as emotionless about our relationship as he is. I just let the secret go on and on. But all secrets have an end, don't they?

Loved. couldn't put down. love how she did the then and now. Fell in love with the characters. I was tearing up and cried several times it melted my heart. Also thought narrator was great. Excited to check out her other series. These are a must read ...I am a true fan now.

Thank you Bella, loved it

This is an erotic, romance with drama.

Rainer aka "Rai Rai" Everyone in his life has left him, either from death or from life itself, the only steady he has is his best friend Emy. They were best friends growing up, but he not only lost it all due to his father, but if he does realize what he has soon he may end up losing everything he has ever really loved.

Emalie aka "Emy/Mali" was always though of as a geeky, tom boy. She never really dated and she could never live up to the expectations of her sister and mother. But as she becomes best friends with the one boy that makes her life a living hell and worth living she realizes that she wants all her first to be with him and they do. But when Rainer leaves her she is left empty and wondering what happen to the man she fell in love with, until he comes back to town but has no clue who she is.

Bella Jewell has always been a favorite of mine. If you want drama women hear ya go. lol

Second Chance with Great Narrators

I listened to the first book of this series, and I knew I needed to listen to this one. I just had to get Rainer's story. And I am so glad that I did. This is a second chance romance with childhood best friends. I thought this book was fast-paced and didn't lag at all. I didn't always agree with the characters, but I was so invested, and I had to see how it all ended.

The story is mainly from the FMC POV, so most of the audio is done by Lidia Dornet, which I thought she did really well capturing the FMC's personality. So with that, she does do the voice of the MMC's part most of the book. You get a couple of chapters from Roger Wayne, and I liked his voice!
I really did enjoy this book and the narrators.

Rainer & Emy

Great story, not boring, likable characters and secondary ones. The plot moved at a fast pace, no angst or cheating. They met in high school, their
attraction grew into friendship, then a relationship and he was her first everything. He had a poor relationship with his father and home life.
The MMC’s father’s debts became his. He couldn’t handle it which led to drugs and being a slave worker. During his time away he meets Pippa and he falls in love with her. His past is a blur and doesn’t remember Emy.

Be Prepared

You will be frustrated. You will be annoyed. Your guts will be ripped out. It comes out happy, but very late in the game. I have an emotional hangover.
