Crush 2
What happens when the CRUSH you’ve had since you were a kid continues to crumble your heart, time and time again? As Jah struggles to make himself permanent in Jazmin’s world, there always seems to be something or someone standing in the way. Not only does he have to continuously compete for Jazmin’s heart with Sean, but an ex from her past has returned to stake his claim in her life. Seeing Jah with other women catapults Jazmin into a tailspin; but will she finally admit it, or will she continue with this emotional façade? An ex from the past could be exactly what she needs to get over what she had with Sean and what she never had with Jah. When the group of friends comes under one roof and secrets are revealed, will anyone be left standing after everything hits the fan? This second installment of CRUSH takes you on a ride that will leave you wanting more!

This was a great read. I can't wait for part 3. I hope in the next book Jah & Jazz can be happy. Lamar is not to be trusted. Jazz should have never drank that drink he bought for her. I just don't understand his goal in all this it has to be more then wanting to be with her. Sean is a horrible man.

Man I am so hurt, Jah omg ,I feel so sorry for him. Poor Jasmine.. Lamar is just doing the most. Sean oh well, I Dont care about him or Erica!! This is a really good book.I shed a couple of tears too.. Let me go-ahead and start a go fund me account for my boo Jah!!! I cannot wait for part three.

Yeeeeeesssss Ivy!!! Now I'm waiting on part 3 because things are definitely about to heat up. Man wth Lamar even came from? I can't take dude serious at all. I'm still team Jah even though he still needs to explain some things. The relationship between Jah and Juicy is crazy but I love it. It was about time all of Sean's messiness was put out in the open. I swear I would've never guessed Desiree's secret would be the reason she was experiencing so many complications. Rayven is just as dumb as she want to be and I was mad at how easily she allowed Sean to manipulate her. She did get him good though and hopefully she'll stick to what she decided. Erica trifling behind needed what she got and it was long overdue for Jah to realize those two were trying to play him. I am mad he took things as far as he did instead of walking away and putting what he was trying to build in jeopardy. Poor Sheena! That part had me tearing up something serious. Lamar is low down for what he did and I hope everything works out for Jah so he can really give him the beat down he deserves. Lawd I hope Jazz doesn't turn to him as a shoulder to lean on and realizes just how underhanded his gay behind is. I must say I got happy once Jazz finally embraced her truly feelings and I hope the things surrounding the ending doesn't crush her completely where she doesn't get her happily ever after.

On one hand I enjoyed this and on the other hand it was just really petty and childlike drama going on that made this a bit boring. All the swapping going on I was just waiting for someone to be exposed for having AIDS or something. It’s almost to a point the only person you want to succeed and make it is Jah. I think it’s time for him to really move on from foolish Jazmine and her nonsense. The ending has me wanting to read the next one though so this was a good read.

Banger
I really enjoy reading Ivy books. Crush 2 is definitely a banger. Her characters, the story, the dialogue it all just flows so well. Ivy is a remarkable story teller and she does it again in this story. The way she brings them to life and make you feel like you there. She never disappoints. I'm a fan for life!!

Surprised and shocked
Once I have started reading this book, I can't put this book down cause it's really a good. It's left off from Crush. Ivy Simone did a good job. It's dealing with more drama. I can't wait to read part 3 of this book.

Team Jah
I absolutely loved this book. It's a quiet sleeper and well worth it. Happy that I invested in this... The twists and turns were amazing, some were predictable but just when I thought something was to happen it was flipped. All I have to say is when is the next part???

WOW! I thought it couldn't get any better but I am speechless. I wish Jaz would take off her blinders when it comes to Sean & Jah. To totally different men with different outlooks on life. Jaz & Jah are both stubborn as hell! I love how Jah is all hardcore but when it comes to Genesis and Sheena he melts like ice on a hot summers day. Sean has ran through this entire pack of friends and none were the wiser. He is a manipulator of the worst kind preying on women. Rayven has been through so much and didn't even tell him she knew he was nasty. Lamar is low down for that mess he pulled. I hope they find out the truth about that.

Crush 2
Lord I don't know where to start with this book. It pick up right where part 1 left off. I was happy to see that Jazmin is growing up and finally letting Sean go. I was surprise at Desiree and was shock to learn the reason why she can't have kids. Sean is something else and swear he need to sit down somewhere. Rayven is so naive I wish she will get it together. Lamar this fool is something else I swear he up to some. The ending was something else I bet Lamar got something to do with it.

Suspenseful!!!
I read the first Crush and it was very good too, but this one is very exciting and suspenseful. I can't wait to read the next one! I know it's going to be interesting! I hope it comes out soon cause I can't wait to see what's gonna happen! It felt like I was in the story myself lol! Ivy Symone is a very good author. People can relate to the characters in both Crush and Crush 2. These are the first books that I've read by her but now she has made me a fan of hers! I would recommend these books by her cause I know other people will like them!

Ivy Symone outdid herself with Crush 2! This is a great, entertaining series! The storyline was fast paced as I completed this story in a few hours. Jah's mouth is ruthless! He tells it like it is. He is hands down my favorite character. Hopefully he & Jazz will make it....Sean, on the other hand is the dog of all dogs...Rayven has finally seen what type of man she's married. Desperately waiting for the next part... Great job Ivy Symone!

I would’ve given the book an extra star, but the storyline just keeps dragging on and on with just a little bit of extra information that isn’t even that shocking added every few chapters. It’s getting tiresome, but at the VERY end, something completely unexpected happens that makes me want to read the next book. Basically it’s a repeating storyline with very few changes until I consider giving up on the entire series, and then BOOM!

This book started right where it left off at. I was definitely a page turner. I was amazed at how Sean wanted his cake and eat it too. No matter what Jah is the man in this book. I can't wait for part 2. I feel that someone is going to get seriously hurt in part 3. Great Job Ivy Symone. Please don't sleep on this series it's really good.

This book is definitely a page turner. All dirt was revealed and let say it wasn't nice. Team Jah he keeps its real. Jazmin needs to get it together and watch out for the snake in her yard. Bravo Ivy Symone you have a banging series on your hand. I'm ready for the next one
August 18, 2015
Hooked!!! Ivy Symone has done it again. A well written book that had me all messed up. I wanted to scream, cry and lagh. The twist and turns that keep you up all night reading. Way to go!! Bravo!!! Can't wait for the next part.

This was a pretty good series... There was definitely a lot of back and forth going on with all these characters....
These men could not do right by these women and were quick to act a fool if they did not fall into line with what they wanted...
Jah was a good guy and I really liked him... But just that quickly he had me not feeling him with how he just demanded that Jazmin just accept what has just happened... I was like come on man... Give her time to process... Trying to rushed her and force her to do what you want is not right... ugh... Men...
Then with Cassie and Eli... I dont even know what to think... He was not giving her what she needed but kept wanting her to give him what he wanted...
I loved Tanya... I just hated how she talked about herself and allowed her baby daddy to just keep using her because she thought she was not worth anything better... But in stepped Ike and helped to change all that... I just love him... I hate seeing what he is going through... I really did not see that coming at all...
Well onto the next book to see what else will happen next because it looks like this may not be the end for all the characters...

I've never highlighted and had so many notes! 😂
I have to start out saying how great of a character Jah is!! He is everything!!! He had me cracking up so bad!! 😂😂 Jazmin annoyed me to no end! I had a hard time believing she is about to turn 30!! She was childish, selfish, annoying and great poor Jah like trash every chance she got! She repeatedly gave Sean the benefit of the doubt but would lash out and say the meanest things to Jah for nothing!! At one point I was hoping Jah gave her just what she was asking for and left her all the way alone!! All those ass whoopings Sean got.... He deserved every last one! Idk what that man gave her but he definitely had something to do with what happened at the end! I can't wait to get into the next part!

Jazz dumb for real
Jazmine is a real idiot. Like I can't with her. I knew that fool was feeding her abortion medicine. If it tastes funny why would you keep drinking it. She just so gullible it's ridiculous. I'm not even in a hurry to see the rest of the dumb ish she'll be doing in part 3.. bet some how her dumb butt decide she need to be with Lamar and won't figure out the obvious
