Cruz by H.J. Bellus
5.0
Layla couldn't handle her vicious past and she couldn't live with all the reminders, so she ran. She left the two people that mean the most to her, her father and her grandmother. They are the ones who raised her and were there for her growing up. Now she is back home but the past has a way of colliding with her present. When tragedy hits her square in the heart she strikes up a new friendship with a fighter from her dad gym.
Cruz Felix had one goal in mind fight till he reaches the championship in Las Vegas. Cruz found a new home where he can get his head straight and train, it just so happens to be Layla’s dad's gym. He is the reason that Cruz is fighting again. Cruz to has a past that had him running from it but it's more of a past that has him running to something.
Even though the attraction between is instantaneous they are both drowning in their own misery and secrets. These secrets that have a way of finding the light and have the power to destroy there carefully built lives.
What a way to start this series. In with a bang H.J. Bellus. First i have read a lot of her books and they just keep getting better and better. This one is by my favorite book by this author. I loved the twists and turns she has going on. This book is so easy to follow so you won't get lost. I won't lie that I cried like a baby and that was just at the beginning of the book. When Layla came home I was on the edge of my seat. I needed to know what was going to happen for this little girl turned broken woman. You can see how much her dad and her grandma means to her that it just warms your heart. Now Cruz the way he just has this way of knowing exactly what she needs in her time of need. That is so darn great to read I absolutely feel in love with him. Cruz has only one goal in life and that is to make it to Las Vegas for his father. These two souls are broken but seem complete whenever they are together they just didn't know it yet. Even Jag who is a secondary character in this book makes it so darn entertaining. As you read you see the secrets unfold that they have made Layla run. It's heartbreaking you know she has her reasons for keeping them to herself but you can't help but yell at her to tell Cruz because he can help. But shoot dang when her past collides with the present I wanted to yell at her to run girl be free be that coward but then I yell at her to stay she promised. It was just an emotional time for me. I seriously thought I was going to have to have a talk with Layla When she ran from Cruz and didn't let him explain. Come on lady be the strong woman that your grandmother and dad raised. When the past catches up to her she has no choice but to lay everything out in the open. Layla and Cruz are perfect for each other. Layla with her Latina temper and Cruz with his just temper. Just down right perfect. The chemistry and that sexy time. Hello kindle set on fire. I look forward to the next book in this series. This book is about coming home finding love out of the painful memories.
