The Stockley Family #1
That's The Way Love Goes
Career driven and goal oriented is what Suny Daniel is. After studying under the best surgeons in Texas, she’s ready to make a change. That change leads her back to her roots in New Orleans. A mishap with her current boyfriend on New Year’s Eve lands her in bed with the mysterious Kross Stockley.
Kross Stockley is a wild card, one that tends to shy away from relationships and commitments. The moment that he meets Suny, he is immediately drawn to her. He quickly realizes everything that he thought he didn’t want, turns out to be exactly what he needs. But at what cost?
One night of passion leads to a reckless fling where feelings get involved. The two fall hard for each other at an alarming rate. Faced with an ultimatum, Kross has to decide whether to walk away from the life that he has grown accustomed to or let the woman whom he has fallen in love with go. The decision that he makes changes both of their lives.
What happens when their paths cross, yet again, five years later? Will all be forgiven, or are the wounds too deep?

Despite the grammatical errors and mispronounced words…this was an interesting story…Parts were hard to believe, like a board certified doctor stripping part-time..there were a few other far fetched things…but, the plot of the story really was intriguing….. Where’s the rest of the story? If I had known this was a cliffhanger without resolution…I probably would’ve passed.

Couldn't get into it
I couldn't get into the story. Idk if it's how fast they moved or how they spoke in certain situations..like the part on the terrace with Modello. Kross hems modello up and says something like "she's captured my heart and I love her don't ever let me hear u call her out her name" I'm like what? She captured your heart, it just seemed misplaced for the part. Also when the women approached Suny at the event, it was so juvenile and she thinks she snapped but she didn't. Like she could have just ignored them, i think it would have been more effective for her to just walk away and left them standing stupid, it really wasn't a good scene. Like the author was just trying to throw some drama in with an ex of his, because of course this wouldn't be complete without an ex that don't want to let go. Oh yeah and the whole pretty woman vibe was a no go.

Cra cra!
Pretty good read. Lots of drama and laughs. I really loved the beginning. Suny is annoying and I was truly disappointed with her at the end. She needs to stop all that crying, talking out of the side of her of neck and then apologizing. I wish she boss up, stop being weak for him and stand her ground ugh. Idc for Kross. He just wants to do what he wants. If he really wanted Suny he could have found her.. and he knew Robin would be trouble and didn't care. At this point I'm rooting for Priest and Mel because Kross and Suny are on my nerves and I don't see them changing in pt 2. Good read!

Wooow, this one right here was crazy😳!
Oh-kay, I gotta give Queen Unique her props cause I actually read the 8th installment first(don't judge me)🤷🏽. That ish was so good I decided to start from the beginning. This review will be short since there's a part 2.
I'm with Priest, something is definitely up worth that bih Robin and her daddy Madello. They just playing Kross too damn close. Like I get a bih can get dickmatized, but dayyyuuumm. 🍆 ain't that good that I'm gone okay seconds to a chick who ain't even in the picture and get only scraps from a ninja, IDGAF my mental ain't set up like that😒🤷🏽. Sis needed a real father cause clearly he pimping her out and she most definitely need a better role model as a mother and better friends. Like Sis definitely forgot her worth cause😔
I love Suny! I rejoiced and encouraged her bald headed hoe ish with Kross, especially when he invited her to Miami. I cried Like a baby right asking with her when she woke up and he was gone. One thing for sure and two things for certain, ik that had made a baby🤣. 5 years, is a long time to go without the one who has your heart. When they finally cross paths again😳😔.
Was Kross wrong? HELL YES! The man came back on the scene with 2 goals; be the best father he could be and get his girl back. I give it to him he was all in until the night of her birthday. I'm a woman and I say that shit she pulled was beyond disrespectful cause if the shoe was on the other foot she would've been hot asf. Why we as women say I forgive(not all of us)but never really take the necessary steps to move forward. I was so with Kross he was good to scratch her itch but nothing else and that was wrong asf🤷🏽.
Priest need to get his ish together cause that ninja know he love Mel and would die if she got worth somebody else😒.
Deacon, Dear, William and Luvie are parent goals. They dope asf and I love them, they kept me laughing.
That ending tho😳!!!

If I wasn't reading this on my Kindle I swear I probably would've threw the book. My emotions are all over the place now. This has me laughing one minute and ready to scream the next. It was so good. I like me some Kross but dude needs to stop hiding things from Suny. And Suny needs to chill out and think before speaking. Time to read part 2.

It moved really fast, the back and forth is annoying. I don’t think I want to listen to the rest.

That's some Bull
Now, first thing, the story started all smooth jazz sexy vibe. Then four years later, it's I'm going to get you back, to I hate your guts. All of this took place in one novel. I'm tired now.

Great story line
I love the story line in this book. All the characters bring something different. I gave it 3 stars because the transitions are horrible. You go from one scene to the next in the same sentence. Other then that the book was good.

Wow read read read
So I'm having mixed emotions. I'm excited because it was a good read but mad I have to wait for part 2. I mad at how Suny acted at the end and I know its going cause some drama in part 2 but I get she was hurt but she played right into the "ex that wasnt the ex" but wanted the spot games. Kross waited to long to tell her and gave that spiteful Robin a one up but I know she got an ulterior motive besides wanting him something to do with her daddy. Priest need to get it together he met his match so they both need to stop being stubborn and admit they have feelings. Most importantly I like how kross and Suny love on their daughter. Both sides of the family love that little girl. Thats why i know its going be some mess when Suny yelled out about the DNA test out of anger.

This book was bomb from start to finish
Okay so I love this series and I get why Suny was mad at first and had her reservations when Kross came back into her life but she’s a little childish. She doesn’t think before she speaks and that throughs off my like for her. Kross is definitely book Bae for real. Mel and Priest idk about them. Robin is a thirst bucket but what’s her intentions. Kross needs to get his shit together and officially cut ties. What would make SUNY say what she said at the end? That’s what I mean when I say she doesn’t think before she speaks. Bomb book and I’m pressed it’s 8 more books to go.

Great Read
This book was so good from beginning to end and what a ending. I loved the chemistry and attraction between Suny and Kross. Within a week they fell in love and became soulmates. They're meant for each other, but they have forces against them Robin and Modello. I can't wait to find out what those two are up to.....scandalous. I like Priest and Mielle interaction as well as Rae and Brisco. Also, loved the extended families together; Kaia got them all wrapped around her little fingers. Now, after that ending, I can't wait to see what happens next. Great job Unique

Kross & Suny
Suny and Kross story was very mediocre. The beginning started out really good and like 30% everything went downhill. The author forgot how old her characters were because if Priest is 13 months younger than Kross he shouldn’t be 29 and Kross 35. Some parts were definitely rushed throughout the book with Suny and Kross that made me so bored. The editing was good also I wish the plot was better.

Just Plain Good!
There is a new book boyfriend in town and his name is Kross. The writer gives us a soul mates romance and its a really good one. This is a power couple in the making if the two of them can get out their own way. This is not only good writing but you can tell the writer is having fun with this story,it shows in the character development and.the really good storytelling. This series worthy and a good o e for your bookshelf.

Soul mates at war
A one week fling turned into so much but when you know you know. That's exactly what happened with Kross and Suny. The fell in love with in that little time but Gross decided to put his career first. Sung had to pick up the pieces of her heart and move along all the while having a constant reminder of him. They cross paths again but soon as things are going good something or someone happens to throw salt on wounds that have barely healed.

Good read, my first introduction to Unique (2nd book) andi can rock with it.
Now…I didn’t like the ending, I feel like Suny can be mad but making him think she deceived him because she’s hurt over a man that’s not really hers is immature ESPECIALLY for a surgeon. You don’t advance that high to play those kind of games. Plus they never discuss anything they just mask it with sex, her friend was right they should’ve taken that off the table and really work on them!

All Krossed up.
SWEET like a brownie with vanilla ice cream and some hot fudge on top. I had to cheer, slap my hands, stand up and twerk. Loved all the characters. I sure hope there is sequel because I will start it right now even though it is 12:30 and I have to get up early to get my taxes done.

Yes
Wow
I'm interested...the story kept a mixed pace of slow and fast. It something to be said about forgiveness and love 💘these couples lack that and it causes a ton of trust and confidence issues. Oh and the Dr needs to growth up... I will be reading book 2...I hope a lot comes to light

Good read
This is my first read by this author. This story is a good one, I love a good love story. One week stand turned soulmates. This story flowed nicely, I’m not too keen on how childish Suny is. Kross should’ve handled his situationship was better with Robin because she’s definitely giving fatal attraction. Can’t wait to read part 2 because the suspense is killing me.

Loved it
I did not expect that ending at all. Kross should have told Ny about California. I can't stand Robin. She was really being too messy. She has an agenda for Kross and I know it is going to be something bad. I just hope things work out between them though. Great Read. Off to read part two.

That’s The Way Love Goes (The Stockley Family Book 1)
Wow… This book was an Excellent Read. If you like drama, excitement, romance, love this is the book for you. Alpha Males who are strong minded and strong willed who love their women with a lot of passion . You will find petty at its finest in this book. The cliffhanger will have you running to read part 2.

It’s All About My Baby!!!
This is the first time I’ve read a book by this Author, there were a few grammatical errors but it did not take away from the plot or storyline. Kross has a lot to make up for, because of his omission of Robin and Modello. I don’t like cliffhanger, had I known, I would have saved this book until part two came out!! Kross has a lot to make up for!!

Ends on a cliffhanger
I love a second chance trope, Kross and Suny aren’t annoying or hiding their feelings. Suny is still hurt from not hearing from him after 5 years and still working through it and Kross is constantly trying to make it up to her can’t wait to read the second part
