Uri's Interlude: The Cezar Cartel Vol. 1
When Uri had a child at sixteen, she didn't want to become another statistic. She's waiting to prove herself as one of the coldest hairstylists in the city, and she does hair in her mother's kitchen until her fingers are cramping and her ankles are swollen in order to provide for her daughter. Uri has big dreams and goals, and men aren't on the agenda. Especially not men affiliated with the streets. With her baby daddy already in jail, Uri doesn't want the stress or the drama that comes with dating D boys, so every time Otto Cezar tries her, she curves him. That is, until she sees him one night, and she's too captivated by him to say no. With her best friend and her sister by her side, Uri gets caught up in a whirlwind romance that will change her life forever. And this is just the interlude.

Nice introduction
This was a good start to this series. I love how Uri was independent and focused on making a better life for her daughter. I was rooting on Otto to show her he was worth taking a chance on. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Great Read
Isa is a sweetheart. Hopefully her and Oak get together but Oak and his brother Otto is dealing with potentially losing their father. Otto is smitten with Uri. Although Uri is a young teen mother. She's definitely mature for her age, go hard for her daughter, and a go-getter. I have a strong feeling Cartier might become a problem in Otto and Uri relationship and feel she have the upper hand because she's Otto baby momma. I also love the bond Uri have with her younger sister Isa. I like Dax for BellaRose. However both of them have someone else lingering in their life. Dante isn't the man for BellaRose and Remy isn't the woman for Dax. I see Remy becoming a problem since she refused to allow Dax to slip through her fingers.

I loved it!!
From beginning to end this was a page turner, but I didn't expect anything less. Uri and Otto are made for each other, I do have a feeling that Otto's bm is going to be an issue. BellaRose(I love that name) and Dax deserves each other cause Remy is a complete nut basket. Remy, girl how are you going to invite yourself on a trip and get mad when he doesn't pay you any attention. Isa is so sweet, I hope her and Oakley get together. It's something about the girl he kidnapped not sitting well with me. Ready for the next installment.

Great Intro!
This book was a great introduction to the Cezar family. I loved the way that the family interacted with each other. Usually when you read about the head of Cartel families, you usually read about cheating, outside families or baby mama drama, but none of that was present with Otto and Oak’s dad. He loved his wife and raised his kids to be honorable men. I enjoyed reading about Uri and Otto’s relationship and can’t wait to see what happens in Vol. 2. Well written book that flowed extremely well.

Volume 1
This interlude did what it was meant to do! It was a grand introduction to these new characters and their world. I always love the female lead in her novels because she is usually self assured and independent. Otto is the complete package. He screams boss! Oak seems sweet and spoiled in a good way. I can see as a mommas boy and a daddy’s boy. I don’t know if he will end up with Isa or Trish! Dax and B are gonna take us for a ride! I already know. Can’t wait for volumes 2 and 3💜

Latavia Thoughts
Yes Otto came through and explained to Uri what it was so she could know and he bought her a shop and she let him knew she was riding, With the guys father being sick tensions high and their emotions everywhere but I'm need Oak to take better care of himself and leave Trisha alone him and Dax choosing too, B needs to be honest with Dante and not lead him on even though she said they not a couple!!

Amazing story
I seriously love Otto and Uri's relationship it's so cute and Otto is completely swoon worthy.😍 Dax and Oak are right in line after him I'm so ready to see what's next for all these characters and their relationship/friendship/situation. I hope Otto really lives up to the image I have of him I know sometimes dealing with what he is can make a person make irrational decisions. But I got my 🤞 and ready for volume 2.

All Over The Place
I know the author is setting the framework for the other books in this series but she was still all over the place. Jumping from this character to that character, this scene to the next scene and from situations to situations. Also, the characters tend to contradict themselves. Uri said she was rocking with Otto and the first sign of turbulence she’s jumping ship. That was a turn-off for me, either she’s going to ride with him or not.

Uri!!!
Ok Uri girl.. make him work for it at all times 😂😂😂 I am glad Otto did not give up on my girl. She had to get herself all the way together before letting him in but when he got in baby did not play any games. Otto let it be know that Uri was his lady. Oak, Dax and B just add to this story. I can't wait to see Uri's sister break out of her shell, her name is escaping me. I believe sis will be a force to reckon with. These next volumes looks to be lit!!!

baby
If this is any indication of how this series is about to be! Buckle up because we are in for a ride. Otto is nothing but BDE! I’m on the fence about Cartier. I think Remy is going to be a Problem for Dax because she is showing psychological problems already! I curious about this Oak , Trish, & Isa thing! Outstanding

Great read
This book was so good I can’t wait to see what this crew has in store. Uri got her areal man in Otto I just hope that baby momma stays in her place but I got a feeling she’s gonna be a problem later. I hope Isa finds love and it may be with Oak but it’s too early to tell. Dax friend is going to be trouble B needs to keep her distance. This is a must read for sure.

Hurricane
This was a great read When you take a chance you never know what you will get. Uri decided to be free for once and ended up with a man that was above the rest in a while league of his own.He came in like a hurricane.When you know your worth you won't settle. Awesome storyline and a page turner

So good!
I like that Otto is so into Uri, and he shows it. He always includes her daughter. I don't like that Owen has to die, but I get it. I'm waiting on Oak and Isa to how they work. I'm sick of Remy; she's obsessed with Dax. He needs to leave her alone bc that seems to make worse.

Review!!
Wow ! This book held my attention from beginning to end. Loved Uri drive and determination she made it happen regardless. A night out made Uri meet a guy that just wanted to change her life and he did. Oak and Dax were no joke either. BellaRose and Isi were great women as well.

Cezar Cartel the beginning
Otto child mother I don't trust. Uri made a way for herself and her daughter. I was happy when Uri & Otto got together. Oak better leave Trish alone. Isa needs to realize everyone isn't perfect and her stuttering is nothing wrong with it. B and Dax needs to get their situation ship over with cause they want each other.

"Uri's Interlude" is an excellent introduction to the world of the Cezar Cartel. Headed by the ruthless Owen Cezar, the cartel consists of his sons Otto and Oak, their best friend Daxon, and Owen's ride or die wife Lisa.
Book one mainly centers on Otto and his new love Uri!

4.5 Otto is sexxxxxy, and I love that Uri is sensible, independent, ambitious, and a great mom, sister and friend. Otto is a man's man and does the right thing by his woman as far as honoring his responsibilities.
Looking forward to Book 2.

I loved Otto and Uri together! He stepped up in every way, and she was mature and focused. Their story was sweet, emotional, and full of great side characters. Can’t wait for the next one!

Uri
This book was a good introduction to the book characters. I thought Oak was into Isa but it seems like he’s more focused on Trish. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next Otta and Uri.
