CRUSH 3
In the third installment of Crush, everyone is faced with eye opening life experiences and hard choices to make. This could be the end of the road for some while others are just beginning. Shocking secrets can destroy relationships and render some an early death certificate.
Did Lamar really slip Jazmin something to make her miscarry? What becomes of Cassie and Rock? Who is Tanya’s son’s father? Could it be Sean, or one of the other guys in the group? Will Desiree and Damien’s marriage continue to thrive, or will it fizzle? Can Rayven find it in her heart to forgive Sean and welcome him back home with open arms?
With Jazmin and Jah, neither one of them know if they’re ending or beginning. Will these two ever get it together? Or will the other people in their lives such as Nivea and Lamar continue to run interference? And who is that lady at Jah’s condo?
Questions have been asked and now it’s time for them to be answered….CRUSH 3!

***Please note... I am still laughing while typing this freaking review****
First I need to say all three books were seriously awesome.. HOWEVER I did love this one the most and I shall explain why!
This book was extremely freaking funny to me.... Jah and his lack of filter is hilarious and I am not quite sure how anyone can take this dude serious. I mean almost everything that came out this guys mouth was funny. I have never read about a character who just says whatever the hell they are thinking with 58 curse words included.
Now on a more serious note.. these book were MESSY, I mean all these twist and turns and shocking revelations I mean it was like "Boom, Boom, Boom" but within all the mess there was a wonderful urban story. again with friends like these... who needs enemies.
I also should add.. Jazmin is frustrating as hell... but stick with her "stupid ass as Jah would say" hehe and she is plus size WHOOT WHOOT. I alway root extra cushion characters.. more believable.
I have to say I loved the outcome of everyone's story. I am also very glad that the author wrapped each person's drama in the end so you didn't get left with "well I wonder what happened" because it was all nicely wrapped.
So YES I shall recommend this book to EVERYBODY. I wasn't sure about walking over to the urban side HOWEVER.. I am glad that I did. For once the amazon and goodread ratings matched the book perfectly.
Signing off... I will never think about lil caesar's the same LOL

so much drama
Jazmin is annoying because she can’t be by herself. More and more dysfunction. The bombs dropped were predictable. I’m glad the main couple got it together.
A mix up of names. I would hope Gina wasn’t dating someone 20 years her junior swing as she’d only like 22, it’senior.

Amazing!
I absolutely loved this series! It took me through a range of emotions and the story had all types of twists and turns. Jah was quite complex, and I appreciate that he was the true meaning of never judge a book by its cover. He was funny, real, and raw!

I swear this book had me laughing and crying all the way through. The love between Jah and Jazmine was so real, you could feel it. I can truly understand how people can fall for fictional characters after reading this book. The author has done it again with the third book from this series. I am truly impressed. This is one of the only other books that I've read this year that was free of error, and followed closely with the previous books. I look forward to reading more by Ivy..... But I know juicy and Nah are unbreakable so please retire them. They are one of a kind

Jah n his Juicy......
If I could give 10 stars I would have....withdrawn into this one just as I was the last two. Jah is still crazy as ever n just as stubborn. Juicy still fighting her feelings n love for him n the rest of the gang still full of drama. Just like I like it....drama filled with a touch of humor here n there. Sad it ended but loved the way it did....good story....

Crush 3
Lawd this book was everything and every bit worth the wait. It pick up right where part 2 left off. I'm happy that Jah and Jazmin got it together. I was tired of Nivea and Jah with that back and forth. Lamar I don't know what to say about him but he gotten what he deserve.

OMG…How do I start off this review…. I absolutely loved the male protagonist (Jah). For the first time, the down and out male figure was able to overcome his shortcomings and rise up like phoenix to deliver a major punch to life pit falls. During my journey throughout this trilogy I laughed, I cried, I felt anger and compassion towards him but by the end of the final book I just felt FREAKING PROUD. He had grown in leaps and his maturity was demonstrated in the mannerism of what he viewed as significant in life (mainly both Jazmin and Genesis). He no longer reacted to the negative energy swirling around his environment; but instead took the higher road and allowed the positive energy that his love ones release to stir him in the right directions. I loved how his love for Jazmin could be seen through his eyes. I love how their faith in each other reached its peak and their love was allowed to flourish. THEIR LOVE ALLOWED THEM TO BECOME KINGS AND QUEENS IN THEIR SMALL UNIVERSE AND A COUPLE TO BE RECOGN WITH. This was my first time reading an Ivy Symone trilogy books but I will remain a fan of her for life. If I could I would give this trilogy 10 STARS. These two were my favorite protagonists so far. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IVY……………

Such a good series!
Man this whole series was good!! Jazmin just about annoyed me to death!!! At one point I was feeling like Jah deserved better because Jaz was so childish and selfish and flip floppy 😂 Jah was everything to me!! The way he loved his Juicy and their babies was amazing! I loooooved the way their story ended! Seemed like Jazmin only had sense when she was with Jah 😂😂 That Lamar was playing some serious games that got him exactly what he deserved. Nivea annoyed my entire being!!! I was glad Dessire and her husband worked it out, but I still don't understand why he ran straight to rayven!! Baby Rayven said whatever you, I'm on!!! 😂😂😂 I was cracking up! Go girl! I had so much fun reading this series!

Ivy I really enjoyed this series the story line was great. Sean was nothing but a straight up whore sleeping within the circle and had women pregnant left and right and passing out std like it was a bottle of water. Rayven wasn't a saint herself sleeping with her boss and pregnant by him. I guess Karma taught them a lesson. Now Jazmin and Jah ohhh I just loved them I was happy when they got their sh*t together and married each other. I would have never thought that she was pregnant with twins. I was glad to learn that she was still pregnant with one of her babies.

Jaz finally got her happiness with Jah!!
After overlooking him for so many years.. Jaz finally got the unconditional love Jah had for all along. Glad Desiree and Damien made it. Great ending to an outstanding series. The scene when they went Creatures house looking for Erica was hilarious. Lamar was wrong on so many levels that his fate was sealed. Michelle gave all women a bad name. Great series.. so many emotions.

Great series
I loved everything about this series the puzzles and twists and turns amongst friends. I love how Sean got his ass handed to him in the end so he can ?live unhappily ever after with all those baby mommas. Jabari was so sweet in the inside and rough around the edges on the outside which I love. Sad that she lost a twin but grateful she still had a boy for jah to spoil and they're just ten mths apart. Love this series!

Awesome Series
This was absolutely a great series!! The ladies In this series where all a circle of friends sleeping with Sean disgusting a$$.... What the heck was so special about Sean I just don't know!!! Jah is the man that had my attention from beginning to end... Even though he was a hot head he tried to show Jazmin Al the love in his on way but she kept pushing him away making me mad, I'm glad she came to her senses because she liked to of lost a great man in Jah.
