HJ Bellus continues to prove why she’s becoming one of my new fav authors. I only recently found her why she co-wrote a few books. This is her second book she strictly wrote. I legit no joke read this in one sitting, less then 5 hours and I was done.
Layla grew up with her dad and her abuela (grandma) after her mother walked out on them. Layla’s father is an MMA fighter and she grew up with him coming home covered in bruises. Layla loves her father more then anything but she hates fighting and fighters aren’t her favorite people.
Layla’s a traveling ER nurse and she’s finally going home to visit her father and abuela after being gone for sometime. She’s looking forward to her abuela’s tamales but that’s not what she walked into. Her abuela passed out and she made it to the hospital just in time to say goodbye. When she falls down two strong arms catch her before she falls and she instantly feels safe. Cruz should be everything that Layla can’t stand. But, there’s such an instant connection between them that it doesn’t even matter that he’s a fighter.
Cruz is an MMA fighter whose known as The Notorious Rumbler is as bad ass as they sound. He’s hoping this is the year he gets to Las Vegas and get the championship. Cruz lost his father and sold his gym. It’s how he ended up at Diablo’s Thrown, (Layla’s dads gym). Their dads were friends and he knew with his dad gone he’s the right guy to help him.
Cruz knows exactly how Layla is feeling. Cruz will do anything to be there for Layla. The more time they spend together the more they talk. Layla realizes Cruz has been where she’s at now with the loss of her abuela. Once Cruz gets his hands on Layla he never plans on letting her go. She’s all his and he plans on it staying that way. Until somebody from each of their pasts comes back and plan on making issues for them.
Both Layla and Cruz were fighting demons from their pasts and because of that they both had trust issues. Granted Layla’s trust issues were worse then his. But, if I had an MMA fighter boyfriend that had been around the block as much as he had I’d prob be crazy too lol.
Cruz might’ve been an MMA fighter. But, when he’s not in the ring he’s a gentleman and the perfect man. Layla might not put up with anything. But, she’s the perfect match for Cruz.
I loved this story and was so man when I finished it lol. There was so much going on in it. From emotional, to full of suspense and heart wrenching. It had it all. I’m looking forward to the next book in what’s starting off as an awesome series.
