The Carter Boys 3

Rate this book
The Carter Boys, Olivia, and the women and men who love and hate them are all back in the third installment of this wild and crazy, yet oh so addictive series.

Shiloh, Anthony, Jaheim, Talin, Elijah and Trent have so many things outside of the family going on in their lives, that they have little to no time to keep a watchful eye on the princess of the Carter family...baby sister...Olivia. All of that changes when the secret life she’s been hiding for some time now comes to the forefront, causing a couple of her siblings to feel some type of way. Whether they’re for her or against her, the Carter men try to deal with what Olivia has going on, all while trying to handle the things that they deem are important to them.



Surprise proposals, unexpected pregnancies, sexual tension, more lies, some truths, meeting the in laws, and a big family dinner that starts and ends with so much chaos that a few brothers literally comes to blows are just a few of the things jumping off with this crazy cast of characters. Let the creative mind and wonderful writing skills of Desiree take you on another trip to Atlanta where the Carter family and all of their drama is sure to keep you thoroughly entertained.

And just like that, just when I think they can’t get any worse…. Desiree says hold my beer 🍻

I am WAITING for Trent to get brought down to his mf knees because he HAS to be stopped… like IMMEDIATELY!

Karma definitely said “patience my child” because she’s finally moving but sis ain’t moving fast enough for me! Put some pep in ya step because the progression is lacking with a few of these characters and I really need them to get a taste of their own medicine!! ASAP Rocky!!

Taylor sis!! Why?! I initially felt sorry for you because you too were duped by a fk 🥷 but at this point you get what you deserve. Once the clown activity is revealed and you still choose to participate, it is what it is!

Jade and Jordyn please STAND UP!!

Ugh it’s too much drama to cover in this review just know there’s plenty still going on and these fools have the nerve to have a series that follows this one 😩🥴

So Far I have read books 1-3. I still need to get book 4. I will say that i enjoyed all 3 books in The Carter Boys series. It has the drama, sex, gangster, drugs, everything that is needed in a good urban hood fiction book.

I will say I live in Georgia outside of ATL and I am almost scared to send my oldest daughter who is a Senior this year to college next year. This book let's me know that I have to keep instilling in my daughter everything that I can about growing up and going away from home. It's important that our daughters and sons know their worth and everything it takes to be GREAT.

some of the characters in this book made very poor decisions for their life. Which was exciting for me but may not have been the best for them.

When I was a teenager I loved me some Carter Boys too. Their last name just may have not been carter. LOl.

This installment actually pissed me off. It felt clunky and lazy. It solidified my decision to only consume Desiree Granger’s work via e-reading. Being that she charges upwards of $25-$45 for a physically copy, I would be furious spending that kind of money for this quality of work. I love Desiree’s Granger’s mind and her writing style, she is one of my favorite authors. With that being said, the errors in this book were EXCESSIVE. She usually has typos, grammatical errors, story progression issues, but not in excess to the point were they couldn’t be overlooked.

This particular installment was hard to get through, it was almost like she forgot her own story and published a draft that she squeezed out. It felt like she was creating drama just for the sake of drama. The turns and personality traits some of characters made felt way out of left field and abrupt. EVERYBODY is getting pregnant. It was just a bi-polar mess with poor lead up and little to no explanation. 3 stars is me being nice and a bit bias, because I truly love this author but this was not it.

Chile!!!!!! So much drama happened in this book. Trent stupid 😂. Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone! He thought he had Jade figured out. He thought Big Tay was the one. He was salty! 😂

I really enjoyed this book.
Mods to book 4!

What can I say?

Wow, this one had a lot of interesting twists and turns. I feel bad for how Trent did Jade. I'm glad he's feeling horrible about how he cheated on her. I felt so sorry for her and I hope she doesn't take him back. I was shocked that it came out about Tia sleeping with Trent and it possibly being his baby, I felt bad for Jaheim but good for Tia because of what she did to Jordyn. I hope Jordyn keeps the baby, but I felt that Elijah behaved so childish when she broke up with him. I'm happy that Noelle finally slept with Shiloh and I'm hoping that they last. Anxiously awaiting book 4

The Taylor Kids Crazy

I like Noe & Shy together! I thought Liv was normal lol. Jordyn & E needs to get it together. I wanna know about they mama after how Jordyn checked her that was funny! I don't like Tia or Trent, to willing sleep with Trent knowing about Jade girl bye. What you thought he was gonna do? Jade kicked that ass out but you want her back boy bye. Trent is selfish af. I like her growth in this book! Jah & Tiffany, I actually feel bad for they situation although I didn't like her at 1st, I appreciate her growth. About time Trell & Ty! Jordyn & E still my fav couple.

Really???

I should have paid attention to the other reviews.. But what I want do is read a preview of book four so I can get pissed off. The last book better be on point. Honestly you could have finished this series in this book if you would have dragged out Tay, Trent and Jade story. If you reading this and just starting series just wait for book 4 to come out, before you feel like the rest of us .

Love the Carter Boys!!!

I love this series. Desiree is great at storytelling. I feel like I know these characters. Trell and Tyree are a mess. Elijah is so petty but he is still bae. Trent needs to sit down somewhere. Ready for the final book.

Pissed off

I'm so sick of these authors doing this. Writing books and ending them at 50 60 n etc percentage n giving sneak releases of other books. That's not what i paid for. Just stop fucking doing that. Book series is great but y'all sad!

Carter men

I can't get enough of these guys. The best book storyline so far but I'm ready for more. The guys are growing up in their relationships and really maturing but a little mishap may cause some drama between brothers.

RAW

Once you get use to the language and the culture, the book is pretty good. Lots of drama about these guys and the girls that love them. Looking forward to the last book in this series.

Loving This Series

Book three pucks up right where two stop. There's secret being revealed, hearts being broken, and bonds being made. The brothers are some what made at each other. But you know that's noit going to lasr

This Series!!!! If you like loyal, toxic, romance, drama, family times, dysfunction, love, generational trauma with a cast of characters unlike anything you've ever read, you still might not be ready for Them Carters!!!

The drama continues. The lies, the scandalousness for me for me continuing to flip these pages. These Carter Boys are an absolute hot ass mess. Let's not forget their only sister Olivia. She gets no passes from me. She falls right in with her brothers.
