Here We Go Again

Rate this book
Drama isn’t new to Shayla and Tristen. If they weren’t dealing with vengeful ex-lovers, they were battling adulthood and trying to find balance after becoming parents. Just when they’ve found solid ground, the slip of the tongue causes more chaos than either of them are ready for.

In this story of tug-a-war, relationships are on the line, and friendships are put to the test. Will Shayla and Tristen get over the hurdles life threw their way or is this it?

In life, everyone doesn’t always get a happy ending. Besides… who wants the perfect love story anyway?

**SOME SPOILERS**

I absolutely loved this book but, I was very displeased with the direction the author chose to go in with Shayla and Tristen. This book was filled with sooooooo much drama. Shayla and Tristen are toxic AF and, honestly, they shouldn’t be together. But, the heart wants what the heart wants and, surprisingly so, they actually work as a couple. After she accidentally reveals a secret she’s been holding on to, Shayla and Tristen break up again for the 100th time. Instead of having an adult conversation like Shayla begs him to, Tristen does what he always do when they break-up. He heads to Bone’s crib to lay up with a gang of women but, this time around, he gets caught up with someone that threatens his future with Shay. When her constant pleas continue to fall on deaf ears, Shayla finally says, “eff it” and moves on with life without Tristen. Their relationship was a hot dysfunctional mess. The constant back and forth and purposely trying to hurt each other while, still staking claim to one another had me wanting to slap some common sense into them. This behavior goes on for the entirety of the book. Shayla and Tristen are broken up from beginning to end. There are 22 chapters in this book and, they don’t get back together until the very end of the last chapter. This is my issue with this book. We got to see King whilin’ out and showin’ his azz but, we also got to see his growth. We got to see him and Bambi get married. We got to see her give birth to the first set of twins. We got to see King change and become a mature family man and fall in love with the life he and Bambi were building. We don’t get that with Shayla and Tristen. Since book two, we’ve only gotten immature f*ck boy behavior from Tristin. We don’t get to see him and Shayla get married. We don’t get to see when they find out she’s pregnant with their second child. We don’t get to see them happy and thriving. We are only privy to their toxicity. We don’t get to see any growth from Shayla and Tristen whatsoever. The author spent more time keeping them apart then building their relationship. And, if you blinked, you missed that stingy little bit of HEA they got in the epilogue. Listen, I’m all for a book filled with angst and strife where the couple goes through it but, who wants to read a storyline where the hero and heroine are apart the entire book?!!!! How is that romantic?!!! While I really enjoyed Here We Go Again, Shayla and Tristen’s relationship woes soured it some for me. But, I digress. To say I’m going to miss the Carter clan is an understatement. This was the most dysfunctional and toxic family I’ve ever read about but, I absolutely loved getting to know every single one of these characters. The author did a phenomenal job keeping us entertained with each book. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a Christmas update on everyone.

In the words of my good friend Check, “We got mf action!!” Tristen and Shayla were toxic af! And let’s be real we knew they were toxic from previous books but they added a whole new layer in their story. They stressed me all the way out with their antics. They definitely met their match with each other because at one point they were trying to outdo each other with who could be more toxic! I will say that I felt like their HEA was rushed at the end. I would’ve like to see a bit more leading up to the epilogue especially since their biggest issues were him wanting another baby and her wanting to get married.

Bianca and Check really add the most entertaining element to this series. They are on a level like no other and I am absolutely here for it!

Heavy was certified 51/50 and Shayla should’ve ran for the hills when he started talking about how crazy his family was… how you gone be the only sane one?! How sway?! 🤔🙄…..Brooke was delusional and I’m surprised Tristen oblivious self didn’t pick up on her foolishness 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m soooo happy for Kimmy!! She deserved that happiness and I’m glad she got Tina all the way together because she definitely tried it!!

I enjoyed this series soooooo much! So much and I can’t wait to dive into the last book and see what Jessica and Henny have to offer! Ladii Nesha could be a comedian because the way these books had me laughing was unreal!

I Hate To See The End Of The Carter Saga…

Boy…Tree & Shay went through a lot beginning from the first 4 books….This couple had a lot to deal with before they could get to their HEA….But, I was really happy to see growth from Tristian because he truly was a savage with his antics….Love the humor in addition to the more serious issues this story provided…Man, did I laugh…especially the storylines involving the children. Tree’s nephews (King & Bambi’s) boys are bad AF….But, you can’t help but to be totally engrossed with this story….there were a few grammatical errors…but I completely understand the story.

Made for each other

I already knew Shayla and Tristen were going to work my nerves and they did exactly that.
Tristen really struggled with manning up and I was over him. This is one time where I hate to say it, but I didn't want to see a HEA. Tristen was reckless everytime he got in his feelings. Instead of talking things out, he just went crazy, getting drunk and fuc*ing everything in sight. All with the expectation that Shayla wasn't going to move on. She deserved better. Shayla was a real rider. She took care of everyone she loved including Tristen. She elevated him and the one time she messed up and made a decision to choose herself, his cry baby as$ spiraled hard. I'm not saying she wasn't without fault, but the mess he expected her to accept was beyond me. I wanted Shayla to trust her gut, she felt that situation with Heavy was off and I needed her to stand on that. Once they put each other through hell they finally were able to see the grass wasn't greener on the other side and they chose each other. They seemed to really be made for each other.
King and Bambi were still populating the world and were still head over heels in love. I love the way King changed for his family and it looked good on him.
The D girls took me all the way out, I mean team too much. Karma had appeared. The Check and Tina situation had me howling, the way Kimmy and the girls handled it had me cracking up. I was laughing so hard my husband asked me if I was hyperventilating. There was a lot of drama and the Carter's did not disappoint. They were definitely dysfunctional, but they were also loving. They had truly came a long way and it was good to see them happy and flourishing.

Love this Family

Here we go again is the perfect name for this book. Shayla and Tristen are a perfect example of a toxic couple I was glad to see to get
It together. Ladii Nesha does a great job keeping us entertained with this installment of the Carter family. The book was funny and exactly what I expected from this clan!

I’m so upset this is the end! The ending of this book was so wholesome man, the fucking Carters!!! So many memorable moments in this book with the family. Spoilers are here!

The performance with all the kids was one for the books!😂
Kimmy finally getting pregnant was everything.
Peach and Milo still together, happy as ever, was everything.
Bambi and King adding another addition to the family.
Spade’s growth!
I just can’t believe how much everyone has grown. It made me cry. Now about Tristen and Shayla..

After reading Bambi’s and King’s story, I fell in love with Shayla’s character so you know I had to pick up her and Tristen’s book. They were extremely toxic though, and it sucks to admit this, but it was so relatable for me. I’m like damn is this how me and my ex looked like in other people’s point of view? Tristen was triggering the hell out of me! He had the nerve to be doing a lot of the things he was doing. Shayla was wrong for getting the abortion without including Tristen in her decision, however I didn’t think that at first though. Throughout the book I though about it more and more. It is her body, but she could’ve at least told him it was happening. But he still had no right to mess with Brooke. He is so lucky that baby wasn’t his, I was literally DONEEE with him after that. I was rooting for Shayla to be with Heavy but he took me by surprise too. As toxic as they were, I can’t see them with anyone else but each other. I almost thought they were done for a minute. I’m so happy Tristen made Shayla his wife. The fucking Carters, I’m going to miss them.

The Gang's All Back

I love The Carters!! As usual, I laughed throughout the entire book. I wanted to slap and tase Tristan so many times for Shayla. I
started calling him Can't Get Right. Shayla was being her usual self, but I did see the growth. Bianca is Bianca. Bambi and King need to stop until they get The Tribe under control. Kimmie and Check are still the same. I can never get enough of this crew.

The Carters are a bunch of toxic hooligans and I love to see it... Well read it. These characters are highly entertaining and if they don't do nothing else, they gonna give you a good laugh.

From the first Bambi book to this book you can see the growth in the characters and the author. Looking forward to reading more by this author. Great job Nesha!

Can’t help but love the Carters!

What an ending! I am going to miss this family! I saw no way for there to be reconciliation between Tristen and Shayla. But I’m so glad that they found their way back to each other in the end. I was here for all the drama and the shenanigans! As usual I was cracking up from beginning to end! The Carters are unforgettable!

I don’t even know where to start with this review. I wish I would have stopped with Holiday’s at the Carters. Tristen (Tree) hasn’t been one of my favorite characters but I was able to be ok with his character because in the Bambi series, his relationship took a backseat to King and Bambi’s. However once he gained all the spotlight, it went downhill for me. Tree was the ultimate f*boy and I can’t even begin to understand how Shayla stomached his a**. Here we go again was the perfect title for this book because here we f*kin go again with all this back and forth between the two. Tree was dumb, stupid, stubborn…. Did I mention ignorant, immature and wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Shayla got the last laugh in the end though. The book was good, it was Tree that was a no for me.

This was good. As expected I laughed from beginning to end. Tree and Shayla stressed me out. They were both wrong for different reasons. Ultimately I’m satisfied with how things turned out. Brooke and Heavy should’ve gotten together because both of them were remedial as hell.

And I still don’t care what anyone says, I love me some Check 🥰

Another Carter Book

At first, I was over Shay and Tristen’s toxic relationship but I’m glad I read this latest installment. I laughed so hard and low key rooted for the toxic couple to get back together. This story was what they needed to finally get their HEA.

Ladii Nesha you wrong. You wait till the end to rush the book and put them back together. That's so wrong. I deserved a wedding, and Tristain's growth. I need me a character like Bianca. She is hilarious. I need more on the Carters. Everybody is funny.

Great story

I love everything about the Carter family. They are crazy abs dysfunctional and I love every minute of it. I’m so glad Tree and Shayla finally got it together, but what a wild ride. The talent show by the kids had me laughing out loud. Bambi and King are still my favorite with their fertile selves. I’m so glad Kimmy got the family she dreamed of.

These two got on my nerves. Goodness, they needed this time apart, but the drama didn't take a backseat. I see the tribe is still increasing. Whew Chile, the disfunction works for my extended family. Lol!!

Crazy fools

This book had some errors but nothing took away from this storyline!! Shayla and Tree have got to be the most dysfunctional couple I’ve ever read I can’t stand neither of them!!! This is beyond toxic but I loved every minute of it. I can’t believe all these characters changed and I hate to say I like them lol. This author is a King and Bambi fan for sure but the character development from Spade have got to be my fav. This was a wild roller coaster with these Carters and I’m so addicted. Definitely recommend every book in the Bambi series

This series is a top fav for hilarity and family for me. Although Emotionally Scarred can be read as a standalone I’m adding it to this series review because it’s a family affair. Ladii Nesha provides pure comedy and realistic love in this romance series. Honestly, I loved every character, including Henry Sr/Carl by the end of this series. And she was cooking with crack to have me liking Spade at all.

SHAYLA. Hands down a fav FMC for me. Her and her taser. I was rooting so hard for Tristan and Shayla to get it together, but at one point I thought they would be better off without each other. Tristan may have gotten off a little too easy for me, but she loved that man.

Henny and Jessica was pure drama. Heck, this story had my heart in my throat then my stomach. I didn’t know if I was gonna make it, but this story was my favorite because we got to see Henny make it back from a huge mistake. The writing was so good that I was anxious for him, but grandma Reese came at the right time with the right words.

Shout out to Bianca and Aubrey. The definition of sisters from different misters.

Favorite couple:
Check and Kimmy 🤣

Favorite Scene:
The movie theater

unnecessary drama

I must be getting old cuz all this drama just wasn’t attractive and just plain annoying. The story had a lot of laughter but a lot of stuff was repetitive. I do notice the pattern in this series which is a lot of toxic stuff then a happy ending with that toxic man. Shayla kept saying she didn’t want to be this weak woman like her mom but there were times she was very weak. Not a bad story just a lot of immature behavior from people that are suppose to be older.

I’m going to miss you King baby!😂☺️

Ladii Nesha never fails to pen an awesome story. From the beginning to end I enjoyed the storyline and the dysfunction of the Carter’s. Tristian and Shayla definitely had a whirlwind of problems but in the end they were able to overcome them. These crazy exes and their mental health was sickening and I’m glad they got what they deserved. Throughout the book you saw the love, the heartbreak, trials, and tribulations, but in the end they all got redemption. I loved it! I wish I could give it more stars, but in my mind each star represents 10 so 50 stars goes to you darling. Highly recommend this read!❤️

Man, the level of toxic dysfunction in this family is insane! But, you love them anyway! The laughs are always present, and the drama never stops! Tristen and Shayla! What is we gone do? 😂 I agree that Tristen had a lot of maturing to do, but Shayla come on now! If you wanted to bury that secret, why you always running yo mouth to B, when you know those men are around? It's like they can smell the gossip, and seem to always be within earshot to hear it! These two had really gone through some things in past books, but I swear I thought this was it for them! There was just so much anger and spite in the moves they were making toward each other! I loved King's growth! He was all about his woman, and their ever growing tribe! What was miss Tina thinking she was going to accomplish with that popup revelation? Kimmy was like, uh uh sis, not on my watch! What really got me was Tony! We on some get back like that? But, you get what you get when you mess with the Carter's! Great read! 👍👍👍

4/5
— I knew Tristen and Shayla’s relationship were toxic from the previous books but this one took the cake. It was a whole lot of drama and not enough loving. — Tristen pissed me off per usual, wanted her to be only for him but he’s able to do what he please. — I wish we could’ve had more of their growth and reunion, especially the changed behavior, marriage and new baby.
— His egotistic mentality made it easy for Brooke to slide in to play. I don’t know how Shayla let Heavy that far.
— I loved catching up with my Carter family, especially King and Bambi bad ass kids. I’m happy for Kimmy and Check too.
— Now I have to see what Henny and Jessica are up to.

Here We Go Again

I see 2022 is bringing us more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads by this author! I really love this family dysfunction and all. Tristen was really trying my nerves in this one. Part of me wanted him to lose Shay and have baby mama drama with Brooke until he was miserable and old! Like Bambi, a bigger part of me was hoping that Tree and Shay would get it right. It is never a dull moment with this bunch💜

Emotional rollercoaster

Whew Lord my emotions were all over the place with this one. Tristan and Shayla worked my nerves so darn bad. So many misunderstandings that lead to them to seek other people but everything that glitters ain't gold. Which both find out the hard way when dealing with other people. It forced them to realize where home really was. Great Job Jesus and as always the Carter's put on a show!

Carter Love

There is the traditional family & then there's the Carters! Their love for one another is so pure and unconditional. Despite the craziness they come thru. There is nothing normal about how they get things done, but they get it done with others hating on them! I have enjoyed their journey immensely! They will have ya in stitches laughing out of breath & making you love them no less! Great job on another successful release Ladii Nesha!

Toxic and dysfunctional but you can't help but enjoy it

I thought Bambi and King were toxic but Tristen and Shayla definitely took the cake in this one. I thought Tristen was better than King but they both surprised me in this finale. Seeing the crazy evolution of the family in this story definitely lets you know that change is possible if you really want it. This was a great way to end this series

Ladii Nesha has done it again! I’m glad I finally got around to reading this book after my readers block because I forgot how much of a comedian Ladii Nesha is! 🤣🤣 The Carter family is dysfunctional asf but they are my family family to read again! Even though Tree get on my damn nerves I hope him and Shayla get it right this time around. I hope a spin-off is coming of this because I would like to ready about Bianca.
