WOW! This was a really ridiculous gripping and exciting book.
A love story so different to all l read before.
Not only because both main characters are rich, but also their story is so unique.
The unbelievable strong feelings they have for each other and the circumstances how they have met for the first time are so incomparable, that it makes it even more interesting and captivating.
As the saying goes, the soulmates always find each other and the two have overcome continents and time and have ...more

WOW, I'm so impressed by this book. I would have never had thought this was Lym's first book.
It's just perfect and real and It faces you with the awful things that happen in anyone's life, ugly memories from the past and the responsibilities and the weight of having a business to take care of by following the family's wishes.
Andrew, I just loved him from the start, this guy doesn't get a no as an answer and that's exactly what he managed to accomplish, he's sweet, a gentleman and really loves ...more

Spanish:
“Flawed” de Lym Cruz es el primer libro perteneciente a la serie “Imperfectly Perfect”. Es el primer libro escrito por la autora y ya estoy deseando poder leer los siguientes que están por venir. Es un romance contemporáneo, con segundas oportunidades, dulce y a la vez con unos últimos capítulos llenos de suspense.
Andrew Malcolm siempre ha seguido los pasos que su familia le han dictado, estudios, trabajo y hasta relaciones, pero todo tiene un punto limite. Mientras trabaja un día ...more
This was a short and not so sweet introduction to Lym Cruz writing style. She is an up and coming author.
This story is not for the faint of heart. It is not a rainbows and roses story. It is not a happy ending.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous at first to read it. I LOVE HEA. I get too emotionally attached to characters when I read. I become immersed in my books. So when anything tragic happens to them, I feel it.
Lym warned me that it was not a HEA. I dove in anyways.
I survived. It hurt, but I ...more

Flawed by Lym Cruz
I am voluntarily reviewing this ARC.
Flawed is a page turner. I was hooked from the beginning. Melissa has a past, but who doesn’t? She is at a workshop in a law office to accompany a friend of hers. Andrew happens to work in that office and spots Melissa. He can’t believe his good fortune because he had met Melissa before, but never thought he’d get to see her again. Melissa wants no part of him because he was a small part of her past. There is no one that knows her side of the ...more

I liked this one. It was fast and intense. I couldn’t put it down after I started reading. Honestly, I didn’t have high hopes for this one but I was positively surprised with it. It kept me on my toes and I kept wondering in which direction it would go.
Loved it.
Loved it.

Lym Cruz is a new to me author and I can say that after reading this book I will be reading more!
Flawed was unexpected in the best way possible. I DEVOURED this story. I loved every single moment of it. I was completely sucked into the story and to Andrew and Melissa’s connection.
Andrew came across as kind of a jerk in the beginning. Big shot family lawyer, spoiled rich kid type of vibe. I was all for Melissa not wanting to talk to him, because well, who would. But, I warmed up to him ...more

Melissa is a different person than she was 6 years ago. She’s turned her life around and is moving forward. When she runs into Andrew Malcolm, the past she was trying so hard to forget is brought back to the forefront. Andrew could never forget that night 6 years ago, now that he’s seen Melissa again, he refuses to let her go. The problem is, Andrew is a reminder of the life Melissa wants to forget, but he is also someone she can’t stop thinking about. As the two get to know each other and spend

Ok, so this book! Wow. The first thing I’m going to say about this book is it’s quite simply one of the best debuts from an author that I’ve read in a long time. It’s so well written and the depth to the story is breathtaking.
It’s also a very emotional read. But so worth it! I loved Melissa, she’s very strong and that’s what I love in my female mc, I love strong females.
Melissa is running from her past, but despite that she’s finally managed to get herself in a somewhat good place. She has ...more

First of all I can't believe that this is a debut novel. I enjoyed every single page, and this book definitely helped me with my reading slump. I loved Melissa and Andrew, and their story. It is not very common for couples in romance novels to be both rich, and that part intrigued me and I wanted to see where the author will go with the story. Melissa was a girl who wanted to forget about her past, but as it is in life, the past always hunts you down. In this book you will see how main

I love flawed characters, that probably sounds morbid but it’s the truth. I loved that both Melissa and Andrew came from privileged lives but their lives were far from perfect. The fact that Melissa survived a nightmare 6 years ago and was able to move past it and make a new happy, successful life shows such strength. I also enjoyed that when Melissa was ready to walk away from that life Andrew showed her that she and they were worth fighting for. I guess what it boils down to is that we all

I was blessed with an ARC of Flawed (Imperfectly Perfect Book 1) and am IMPRESSED! The story was very well written and is not your typical romance novel. This book has elements that are a dark and scary part of society.
*** Has subject material that could trigger PTSD for Sexual Abuse/Assault victims***
With that warning stated though the overall plot for the story was one of hope and rebuilding a life that doesn't let the dark win. Following your dreams and doing what you love is a big part of ...more

For my people who feel like a clean book is better and easier to grasp and get into, this one's for you!
But don't let that deter you though, the chemistry between Andrew and Melissa is still off the charts, their history and desire sizzling on the pages and debut author, Lym Cruz knows what she's doing with twisting you up inside and giving you a really gripping story that will have you clutching your chest with FEELINGS!
You need this book!

Wow what a rollercoaster of emotions in this book! It was a well written story of Melissa & Andrew. A chance meeting 6 years ago saved Melissa's life, little did she know they would meet again and he would no longer be a blurred fantasy in her mind! She encaptured his heart and he wasn't about to let her go no matter what it took. I cannot wait for what is next by this author

This is Lym Cruz debut novel and my first read from her. Flawed was such a page turner I couldn't read through it quick enough! Even though it's a bit of a dark romance it's very beautifully written! I'm definitely a new fan and cant wait for more!
4.5 Imperfectly perfect stars!
First of all, congratulations to Lym Cruz for her debut novel. The thing is, as you read this, you forget that this is her first published book. It was wonderfully written and well thought. Now that I’ve finished reading this, the blurb doesn’t mean so much from what is still in store for the readers. And that’s a surprise I like.
There was so much topic at play in this story that it’s sort of amazing how she was able to pull it off. Though I should mention there was ...more
IN LOVE. Wow. Just wow. So this isn't your typical romance. This is a real story with real people and real problems. This is by far some of the best characters I have witnessed in a book. I love story's that don't make me roll my eyes because "that just couldn't happen " not one time did that even cross my mind. This story is a tear jerker, but I also found myself laughing. The emotions of this book are so raw it literally made me feel exposed( which I love) I loved how each character were

It has been a month of newbies for me, and they have been blowing me out of the water. Lym Cruz's debut novel Flawed, was no different. She instantly pulled me in with likable and interesting characters. Her storyline is intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. Lym weaves you through twists and turns that you don't expect and rips your heart open but pieces it back together all at the same time.

The more I read this book the more I loved it, it was very well written and I enjoyed reading it.I loved Melissa and Andrew, and even though I didn't agree with their actions sometimes ,all their flaws and insecurities and all the mistakes they made are what made them seem real to me and the reason why I loved them so much. I liked the secondary characters too, and I can’t wait for the next book in the Imperfectly Perfect series

Flawed was a perfect story for Lym Cruz's debut novel. I had no idea what to expect so was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it! Lym did a great job with the writing and development of characters. I loved Mel and Andrew--boy was he dreamy! Mel has a great story and I loved how they came together to help each other out in the end. I'll definitely be reading more of her books!
What can I say? I simply love this story. From rollercoaster of events that you are taken on to the tug of war love/trust between Mel & Andrew is outstanding.
This is the clean version of my debut novel Flawed.
I hope you enjoy it.
