A review by meganlowe87
Cruz by H.J. Bellus

4.0

I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this book and chose to review it.

I liked this book. The story was strong, Layla was awesome. She’s strong, she’s sassy, and she was likeable. Cruz was strong, silent, and protective. I think I would’ve liked a little more detail. I would’ve loved more depth after the text message, and definitely more in between the last chapter and the epilogue. I think there was so much more than could’ve been explored there but it was kind of brushed over, especially with what Layla revealed. I also got a bit annoyed with the use of Spanish and there being no explanation for what was said. I don’t mind another language, but an explanation would’ve been great. For me, that’s what prevented this book being a 5 star read.
I did like the book, and the supporting characters so I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
