Not Ladii Nesha gettin’ the band back together! I cannot express how elated I was when she told us we were gettin’ an update on Losin’ Control and, it was more than worth the wait. After experiencing the worst trauma of her life, Marley is finally in a place of peace and happiness. She’s married to Detroit’s bad boy, her tea business is growing and thriving, and she' still takin' shotguns with her boo in the back of her trusty Chevrolet van. The only thing missing from this equation is a baby. Harper said, “hold my YSL purse” and offered up her uterus as tribute to birth Marley a whole baby. Or, so she thought. 😏😏😏😏

I absolutely loved the growth of these characters. Czar has definitely matured. I just love how gentle and loving he is with Marley and how he dropped anything he was doin’ to be at her side when she needed him. But, don’t get it twisted. Czar is still with the shyts. And, lets not forget about Pam’s triflin’ azz. Break out the champaign because, our favorite trash azz mama finally got the ending she deserved. Cheers to you Pam! 🥳🍾💃🏾🥳🍾💃🏾 Ladii Nesha said we were gettin’ babies, chaos, and mayhem and not one lie was told. This update was full of drama and I loved every bit of it. I really enjoyed catchin’ up with this crew and, I’m happy to report, not much has changed. Harper is still druggin’ Jax, Romeo and Sammy are still toxic AF, Nova still don’t love them heauxs, Pam is still triflin’, and Goose is still a low key alcoholic. Good times man!

Ladii Nesha knows she can write a book and I giggled 🤭 all through out this whole book. It was fun catching up with the crew. Marley, Czar and the fam will forever hold a place in my 💜.

Just what I needed

Lord knows I missed Czar and Market and this update was literally everything. But when I tell you PAM almost made me throw my kindle. Sighhhh I wish it was longer lol

Unconditional love

I loved this so much 😭

Okay I was salty about the ending of Losin Control, because I wanted Marley and Czar to have the happiness they deserved. Marley had been through so damn much and I'm glad to see she got all the LOVE she deserved. They were still hella nasty and the love between them was EVERYTHING! I love how Czar listened and set out to make all her dreams come true🥹 

True to Ladii Nesha's signature I cackled all the way through this damn story, but I was also sent on an emotional damn roller coaster. The sweet blessings were a perfect gift. I don't think I'm ready to let them go 😭😭

P.S. Pam really needs to be introduced to hell because she was trash..a jealous, conniving, evil azz b#-ch.

I missed Czar and LB 🥹💙 loved this update on the gang..

Side note: Pam is still trifling🖕🏾she would forever go down as one of the worst parents I ever read.

Wouldn’t be a Ladii Nesha book if she didn’t make me laugh lol Marley & Czar still in love as ever but now they have their extra editions 💙💙 Harley is thee best sister ever!

*****SPOILER*****


I absolutely loved "Losin Control," so it was a no-brainer that I would read an update on Czar and Marley. Harper is truly a gem, and I appreciated how she held it down and gave her something that she always desired. Keeping it a buck—-This book was hilarious, but I expected nothing less from the author. I laughed out loud just like I knew I would. When the author mentioned "Babies, Chaos, and Mayhem," I knew it would be a wild ride, and wow—things got crazy! The mother character was truly despicable, and she got what she deserved. However, I can't help but wonder about the recurring theme of pregnant women getting shot or attacked in her books. It seems to be a consistent storyline that just makes me so uncomfortable . Why is that a thing? I’m not sure. Overall, it was great to see the gang back together, and I’m happy that Marley and Czar get to experience parenthood. This is an OK read

Regained Control

When Nesha said, "It’s a Novella, but it packs a punch !" She did not tell one lie!
115 pages pulled joy, laughter, and hott azz fish grease anger from me. You know Nesha lit the literary streets up! I needed this so much!

Marley & Czar were not done in their journey, but make no mistake about this go round, they are completely and totally one unit! Love was so evident in not only their relationship but also the relationship of family. Not just blood, cuz we know dat don't mean shit if we count Pam!

Harper and Marley's love was even stronger, but now Czar got to experience it, too! Jaxon showed us Harper is indeed his everything. Those surrounding them gave us romance. I'm talking about real black love! I'm still in awe that I have this and so much more to say about 115 pages.

I highly recommend that if you loved Losin' Control, this is a must-read!

This was a cute update, I’m glad we got to see more of Marley and Czar. I’m also glad to see more of Marley and Harper, their sister bond is so adorable.
Also I’m glad their mom got her karma because she was a horrible mother.

I really enjoyed this update.

5/5 ⭐️

Mhm. Now that’s what I’m talking about. This was the perfect novella to follow up the series. Pam’s ass got exactly what she deserved, envy is a scary disease because I was in shock at how she moved with her own daughters. But no one mourns the wicked.

I loveeeeee Czar and him hogging Marley from everyone is so funny to me. He’s so attentive to her but he’s so masculine omg and Harper and Jaxon are adorable too. Again, these relationships are so real and genuine. AND the relationship with Biggie ugh so cute.

I loved this bad and spice still eats but it’s not as explicit.

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a great update! I loved seeing Marley and Czar finally get their little family. The gang was solid as always, and their bond made the story even better. That snake of a mama definitely caught me off guard, but it added to the drama. Overall, I really enjoyed this one 🩷

3.5⭐️
This was a great addition to the Julius and Marley story. All the characters are still there, in their same crazy selves, and I’m so glad that Pam got what was coming to her because she was a villain for way too long and she was annoying the hell out of me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

[Taja Asé · Rating 5 out of 5]

As much as I want more, Marley and Harper already been through enough. If they didn’t get a happy ending I was gon swing on somebody!

I recommend listening to the audiobook for good laughs!
Czar: “Get out b4 I pay your homegirls to jump you!”
LMAOO WHAAAAAT 😭🤣 crazy work!

&& it’s fuck PAM raggedy arrse! 😒

[WellReadRuby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a good update!!

Czar and Marley got their happy ending and more! Harper and Marley’s bond was unmatched, and Pam got what she deserved. Shout out to Ada for assisting in closure at the very end! LOL, in Harper's words, “press these nuts.” lmao. Soo good being back in this world! I can't wait for what Ladii Nesha comes up with next!

[lexiskat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maneeeee where do I start, This was better than the 1st book. Marley is that girl and Harper will forever be that girl. This book was chef's kiss to part one. Do I think it was rush at the end hell yeah, but overall still a good read. But the mfn mama or can you even call her ass that. its wild the jealousy that she had towards her kids.

[Lisette · Rating 5 out of 5]

So sweet!!!

I loved catching up with Julius, Marley and especially my girl Harley. This was a sweet cute read. I absolutely loved the babymoon. Czar really is all about his wife. And always has been.

This novella took me out the months long book slump I was in😫 This was the perfect update to Czar and Marley omg; Now I’m sad it’ll be no more for these two (or maybe it will idk)🥹

I might need to read losin control again🤣

[reading mom · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having a mom as a hater would have to be the hardest thing to ever deal with. Aside from that though this book was great and a beautiful spin off! I so loved Harper and Marley relationship through this entire thing

4.5🌟
It’s nice to be back with this friend group. The banter between everyone is hilarious. Can I say I wanted Pam to be erased?!? Prison is not enough for her evil ass. I’m so glad Marley and Czar got their babies at the end. Another great read and I can’t wait to read more by Ladii Nesha.
