Stuck On Stupid: African American Romance
No matter how many times Dezmond breaks her heart, Jazzlynn, better known as Jazzie, can't seem to shake him. He was her first love and his love is all she knows. She doesn’t want to let it go, no matter how much it hurts. Tori, her best friend, is tired of her girl playing the fool. She convinces her to live life for just one night, and Jazzie does just that. One night out and she meets Mr. Right, but she lets him get away because she can't stop playing the fool.
Truth and Tori are best friends, but Truth wants more. Although he has proven his love and loyalty on several occasions, Tori wants to remain just friends. She appreciates their strong bond just the way it is, and doesn’t want anything to come between their friendship. She knows that Truth only wants what's best for her, especially when it comes to her line of work. But no matter how many times he complains, she says she it’s her profession to make a living and she's not giving it up; deep inside it's her own insecurities that have her in love with one man—and she calls him money!
Truth isn’t giving up on her, though. He will stay by her side until she realizes that, “He's the Truth,” but his psycho baby momma ain't having that. Truth belongs to her and she's willing to go to extreme measures to prove it.
Stuck on Stupid is based on real-life decisions and the consequences that come behind foolish choices. Get ready for a ride full of emotion, disappointments, drama, heartbreak, close calls, and a little laughter.
Will these women ever allow real love in, or will they stay Stuck on Stupid?

Good Read! I could relate to the story because I too have played the fool one too many times, but when you in love everybody a fool but you! Reading stuck on stupid was like reading the story of my life! It was the same script of my life just different cast. Great job! I'm so ready for what's next to come from the author.

Stuck on stupid...thought I was gonna have a heart attack. Enjoyed this story I was having stress atbthe beginning cause stuck on stupid was what jazz really was but as the story developed I love the direction it went. Anyways love is in the air but drama still lurking so time for part 2.

This book is actually 3.5 stars and I found it to be typical of the stories being read. I didn't find anything original about the storyline.

At first I considered this book as ratchet. The more I read the more engrossed I became with this book. The openness of the characters and no matter how stuck on stupid some may be there is bits and pieces I identified with.

Great read! I’m glad Tori & Truth finally made it official. Dezmond & Rita deserve each other. I hope Jazzie doesn’t go back to Dez at all. Maine is the right one for her. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.

This book was true to it's title. Jazzy and Dez were in a dysfunctional relationship where Dez cheated on her repeatedly and instead of paying attention to the signs and flat out ignoring her instincts, Jazzy became a victim. She was so afraid to let him go because he's all she's known. Not only was Dez verbally abusive, but physically as well. I was so disappointed in Jazzy's behavior for most of the book, but sadly I've known women who have put up with that very type of man. Jazzy would even seek out the women he cheated with and get into fist fights. She was just a possession to Dez- someone he could control.
Finally after getting fed up with Dez, she goes out to a club and meets Maine. He's handsome, smooth and exactly what she's been looking for. All he wanted was her loyalty and love, but Jazzy struggled with letting go of Dez. I loved Maine because he wasn't about to be a rebound. If Jazzy couldn't give herself to him completely, he was more than willing to let her go. He showed her how a real man is supposed to treat the woman he loves and what a healthy relationship is all about.
Truth and Tori have been best friends forever. Truth was secretly in love with Tori, but Tori was so focused on her lifestyle and what she could get out of men, she was blinded to Truth's feelings. Truth's happy ending included Tori as his wife and the mother of his children, but Tori was so afraid of ruining their friendship and pushed him away. I loved the way Truth fought for Tori and refused to let him push her away.
I think the men stood out in this book for me. They were definite alphas, willing to put their women first and they were loving, yet domineering. Their women were everything to them, but they expected loyalty and respect in return. This book fell short of 5 stars solely due to the need for editing.

Although he is not fond of Tori sacrificing her morals for a dollar,he stands by her.Will Tori be able to see Truth's real intentions?or does she remain Stuck on Stupid?
I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. Each character's story-line was well written and the author gives a realistic look into the drama that can occur in different relationships. The cliffhanger ending has me anticipating reading part 2.Great Job Apryl I look forward to reading more of your work.

Stuck on Stupid will have you saying Really..WOW..Wake up??????
But then we are not in that person’s shoes to know why she is doing what she is doing.
Stuck on Stupid is based on real life decisions and situations. The consequences that comes with the choices one makes. This book is full of emotions, disappointments, drama, heartbreak, and a little laughter.
Jazzie is very much stuck on stupid. Her boy friend Dezmond continues to break her heart over and over , but Jazzie always takes him back.
He was her first love and his love is all she knows
The characters and the story line were very well developed. The characters grew as the story continues.
The story will capture your interest from the beginning and hold it until the end. The story line flowed very well.
The author did an excellent job with this book.
I highly recommend that you add this book to your list of books to read this year.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does.....
This was a good read. It was full of drama and quite a few stuck on stupid moments but I never gave up on Jazz. Although I hated how stupid she was for Dez, I continued to hope she would eventually get over him. Her run ins with Rita were funny as check. Fez had Jazz out there acting a fool over his no good self. Rita got just what she deserved in getting Dez. I loved me some Maine and Truth and Jazz and Tori were perfectly matched for them. Shayla was just as crazy as Rita so I felt no sympathy for either. The cliffhanger was a jaw dropper, I can't wait to find out about Ms. Hattie all shell is going to break loose. Great job Ms Cox anxious to start part 2.

This book deserves 10 stars!!! The title is sooooo appropriate for this book, its scary!!! In the beginning, I was so mad at Jazz and kept asking myself can anyone be this STUCK ON STUPID? This book was written so good, I thought I was family and experiencing all the emotions that the characters felt. That last scene in Cancun with Tori and Truth where she finally performed for him... OMG, EPIC!!!! I was so happy that Jazz finally let go of Dez and linked up with Maine, but I have a feeling that she is not completely over him, afterall she was Stuck on Stupid for about 5 years..... It doesn't go away overnight.... Guess we will see in part 2...
December 12, 2014
I thought Jazzy's love for Dez was like no other, more like a merry-go-round that only she could stop. I can only hope that Maine's love will be enough. Tori, on the other hand, is finally seeing that Truth may be the light. Rita seemed to finally get what she's wanted for quite some time & I must admit she truly deserves it. I thought Stuck on Stupid by Apryl Cox had a good storyline with well written characters and made for a good read. I'm sure part 2 will continue with the interesting drama.

Out with the old in with the New
I enjoyed the book and could relate to some of the characters. Dez was a hot mess and was lucky any woman wanted him. Maine seemed to good to be true and truth has some serious anger issues.

OMG
I hope Ms. Hattie is not dead it's going to be trouble for the person who rob her. Dez is a punk if he did this to her. I am glad Jazzie moved on with Maine and Truth finally got his girl Tori. Can't wait to book 2
