Daddy's home....
Stanton Willington wanted his family back. He missed his wife Gabby and son Tyson. He did not blame Gabriella for leaving him after what he did. It just did not seem right that he could not remember anything that happened that fateful day. Thankfully, his doctor and good friend Allan, questioned him on what exactly happened that lead him to question those with him that day.
Gabby was devastated by Stanton's actions. Finally, after nine months of separation, she gave in to dating. Stanton was not pleased by this and was determined to woo his wife back and found the most opportune time and place to do it. But Gabby's new beau and his cousin threw a monkey wrench in his plans. Never to fear, Stanton was ever dedicated to not give in. But he finds out what really happened that day and he is shocked and truly shattered by the betrayal of it all.
This was a story that was full of action and drama which I loved. Stanton and his brother Baron are a force to reckon with. They kick azz first and take names later. Don't stand between them and the women they love, no matter who you are. It's going to be interesting to see how Milly and Baron turn out.
"I still shake my head at what Bryce tried to do, but I was once told that a marriage will go through trials and tribulations. It was up to the two parties to decide if they were strong enough to weather the storms. Luckily for me, my cowboy wasn’t going down without a fight."
" Because Daddy's home mother f*****!"

Surprisingly good.
I was nervous when I picked this book up because it deals with racism and “cheating” two things I try to stay away from when picking my books. I absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put it down. Stanton and Gabby were everything, they are both dealing with their separation after Gabby finds another woman in Stanton’s hotel room.
I liked how we didn’t dwell on the act or drag out their reconciliation. It didn’t feel rushed though, it felt real and authentic and we get answers pretty quickly.

All I know is I need a Cowboy 🤠
For Stanton it was love at first sight in high school , for Gabby, well she made him work for her love and attention. Add a little cutie named Tyson, and you think their story is complete..
But no, with a Father who hasn’t learned that love overcomes hate, a jealous female, and a conniving coworker, now you have obstacles that will either make or break the perfect happy family.
Will Gabby and Stanton survive all that is thrown to break up their happy home? Come on and grab a copy and see for yourself. You will love the ride, and who knows maybe there is a Stanton out there just for you.

Ohhhh Stanton and Gabby!!!!
What a way to tell a story of pain, love, betrayal and forgiveness. Stanton broke Gabby and his heart but not of his doing. This was such a heartfelt book and Gabby was a QUEEN!! Stanton was a true Cowboy. He didn’t give 2 sh*ts about those who was not important too him. His first priority was his wife and son. He fought like hell and maaaaannnn!! When he broke down you FELT it!! I love Stanton and Gabby!

Baby Staton had me rooting for him the whole time, I wish he would have pushed more to make his wife listen but Gabby is stubborn for sure. Staton knew what he had to do and he did it to make sure he got his family back! That darn dad and Mazey got what they both deserved and Milly made it happen...lol...I love Staton's mom Grace when a woman puts her foot down ain't nothing else needs to be said. Tyson and his prayer at the dinner table and his protectiveness over his little sister (ugly cry lol). I am so already ready for the next book in this series with Baron. Mrs. Sonja B never puts anything out that you won’t love!

My type of cowboy
I love Stanton. He had no patience for anyone, including his father, trying to disrespect his wife. I loved the way he stood up for her, stood up for her. The father’s actions were unforgivable and I’m glad the author did not try to redeem him. I wish there was more to the Mazie storyline, especially since she was the reason for the break in the marriage. Looking forward to Baron’s story.

I truly enjoyed this read and this intro into a new family series. I must say, it is off to a great start. This read has it all from reunited love, deception, family drama, new love and a sexy bronco riding cowboy. I highly recommend this book!!

Underwhelming
I couldn’t really see the fight for their marriage. After what happened and Gabby left, why did he take Stanton 9 months to want his wife back? Actually, he just exploited a situation but I didn’t see him go out of his way. Worse, why on earth would he keep Meezy around, if he was so cut up about loosing his wife. The whole thing felt like she needed to cool of and then go back to business as usual. Weird. The last ride was expected given what Allan said at the beginning but I found it awkward that he hadn’t even discussed the possibility with Gabby before hand. The whole pregnancy announcement to a journalist before having confirmed it with a doctor was odd.
As an aside, I was disappointed in this Milly and Baron romance. Not because of them, but because it felt too cliché. There are too many other potential candidates to keep it in the family so to speak.

"Her Future Forever"
The moment Stanton laid eye on Gabriella, he decided right then and there that she will be his,forever. Capturing the beautiful, smart, intelligent Gabby wasn't an easy task, but a Willington never gave up... not to mention that his family has some racism issues.... Fast forward, he got the girl, got married, got a child until one night he was on top of the world and everything came crashing down...
Well, if you really want to know what happened you need to get a copy and you won't regret it. Absolutely captivating!
Mazey and you know who, shame,shame on you.

I loved this book & would have given it 5 stars, but I couldn't get pass a major issue for me in this story. Wth did Stanton stay with that skank after losing his wife that first night? If he really wanted his family, he should have fought harder then and not allow so much time to pass ESPECIALLY with nasty B aka skank by his side. Other than that, this story doesn't disappoint with drama, action, humor and love.

Who needs enemies when you've got family
It's heart breaking what some family members will do to hurt you. How can we share the same blood yet hate one another so much?

Love Will Find A Way!
This is a modern day love story. Stanton has loved Gabby since she walked into his life during their shared high school years. Gabby wasn't easy to catch. She knew Stanton claimed to care but she had plans for her life. Graduation, college & following her dreams. I enjoyed that as their love grew Stanton didn't stand in her way of living her best life. Too many times women's dreams have to take a backseat. Gabby was in Stanton's corner of his dreams as a Bronco Rider 100%. They fulfilled eachother. Which made the precieved betrayal all the more upsetting. Communication is key in any relationship. Even when the relationship was threatened they never lost sight of what was best for Tyson their son. Loved this. I found the entire book believable. People doing the most but love winning out in the end. The sexual chemistry was real too. We all need a Stanton in our lives. Someone who loves us & supports our dreams/goals & can see our heart on fire. Sonja B did it up & I can't wait for Baron & Milly's story.

True love knows now bounds!
Stanton has been in love with Gabriella since high school. Against his racist fathers disdain he marries Gabriella. But due to a costly mistake Stanton loses his son and Gabby. But he was bound and determined to get his family back. This book had me at page 1. Stanton wasn't letting Gabby go. But there were some shocking shenanigans throughout this book. I was partially satisfied that Bryce and Maizy got their just desserts. And Miles and his disgustingly stupid cousin got their butts handed to them. I laughed my head silly. This book was well written as Sonja B always deliveries. The family drama between Stanton and his father Bryce was shocking and sad to read. But the chemistry and love between Gabby & Stanton was deep and exciting to read from beginning to end. And their son Tyson...what a amazing kid! I highly recommend reading this this book. It was well worth 5⭐' s.

A bucket full of trials and tribulations
The book recommended by Unique wirds, LLC is a forever romance about Stanton and Gabriella aka gabby. Stanton knew from the beginning that gabby was his forever but love can face so many obstacles from people wanting what they shared to not be a reality and broken trust. Stanton knew he had messed up or so he was led to believe but this cowboy wanted his family back by any means necessary and when the truth of the past comes out it is shocking but we are also entertained by people like miles and mazey who should of ended up together and his gold tooth cousin who got what he deserved. What a turn around for uncle jasper and grace taking control of their lives. I am ready for baron and Molly but I think baron is really going to have a fight on his hands.

Daddy's Back. . .
Yeah, that was my favorite line. I love that Stanton took accountability for what he thought was his mistake. The genuine remorse he felt and the love he had for Gabriella and their son shone brightly through, which is why it truly irked me that there was this crazy nine month gap. A gap in which he inexplicably kept Mazey the home-wrecking tramp by his side, especially with the way she treated his child. Can't make that make sense. I'm hoping it gets explained better in Baron's story, and I'm hoping the father Bryce learned something and does not come for Baron and Milley.

Stanton and Gabby are goooooooals❣️ They got some thangs going on and I loved every minute of it. The way this story was put together made me feel the love oozing off the pages. It was like they were in this cocoon where the air is warm and intimate.
The supporting characters are the bomb, they offer as color to the story and made my time with this story an A+ affair 🙂.
Because the pacing and flow of the text was so smooth and effortless it turned this into a page turner that I didn’t want to part with.
As you can see, I definitely recommend this book 😊. Enjoy 😉.

Stanton And Gabby
Author Sonja B did it again with this new genre, I got a taste of Stanton and I couldn't be more happier. A past mistake and betrayal had momentarily tested these two, I was worried, didn't know what was going to happened. But they made it, they showed that through trials and tribulations love will always win, I love, love these two and I can't wait to get to the next one, this is a must read and a definite recommendation from me, well done author Sonja B well done

Great read
I like how this story played out. Stanton and Gabby are married high school sweethearts who break up after a betrayal. I liked that the entire book wasn't based around this, it wasn't stretched for the entire book. These two seemed to really be in love even when they were separated. The side characters were interesting as well. Good read and I can't wait for Molly and Barons story.

stanton is a cowboy romance between Stanton and Gabby Wellington. Stanton and Gabby are a married couple who are separated because of an misunderstanding. As you read about their story the more you will love them. "the secret" will shock you and will send you on an emotional rollercoaster. Sonja really did her thing and i can't wait until the next book in this series. i would recommend you check this book out.

Amazing love story
Stanton and Gabriella’s relationship has faced so many challenges with the majority of these challenges being outside influences trying their hardest to break the love and bond that they have shared since their senior year in high school. Those negative influences found out really quick that Stanton and Gabriella were willing to fight to the very end for their relationship, love, and family.

Wasn’t sure at first
Wasn’t sure if I was going to like the book because of the prologue, but after reading further the night sounded shady. What family does to intervene and mess with a good thing. Thankfully the couple found there way back to each other and they were stronger for it.

Cowboy Up!
I do enjoy a good cowboy romance, although some parts were a little unrealistic for me. As feisty as Gabby is, I can’t believe with the scene she walked in on, someone didn’t end up with a beat down. Stanton was a little problematic for me in that he still kept Mazey around even though she was the cause of the trouble. Otherwise I really enjoyed the story.

Cowboy's
I don't think there is a story that I have read by Sonja B. that hasn't been a five star. This series is starting off with fire. Sad that race is still a very issue that can divide families. Stanton knew what he wanted and was willing to fight anyone. I could actually see the picture of Percy and I was definitely amused. Can't wait for Baron's story.
