Sistah Girls, have you ever come across a new author who writes in a way that requires you to binge their catalog?
That was me when I first read That’s The Way Love Goes by Unique. I first discovered her in 2022 and her catalog offers an array of goodies that has not disappointed. When I find myself in a reading slump, I know I can rely on her books to get me right.
In this edition of After That, Read This, I’ll be sharing why author Unique should be added to your never-ending favorite author list.

The moment Bellamy lets her guard down, she learns things about Ezekiel that have her running for the hills. Will Ezekiel risk the chance of letting her get away, or will he step up and be the man his mother made him promise to be?
Zeke! That’s it, that’s the post (lol)!
If you’re a girlie who loves a bad boy with boss swag–this is a must-read. Bellamy will try your last nerve but don’t give up. This was a beautifully written story that will have you in your feelings.
One Good Reason
Dutch’s heart lies in his bank account and Talitha’s is dedicated to the one person who rescued her from a world of pain.
They both have their battles, but all they need is one good reason to trust each other. However, trust is like walking on thin ice in the winter; once broken, you can’t repair the cracks.
From the moment I started reading this story my feelings were deeply involved… if you’re a crier, you gon’ cry. And every time Lawton was on the page, he gave BDE… you will appreciate every moment.
Hurt Me So Good
With no time for a relationship, Nomiko agrees to be friends with the handsome Wolfe but after a while, she finds herself caught up in his sauce demeanor.
When trouble comes knocking on the door of the budding young couple, will Nomiko find her life caught up in flames, just trying to chase a spark?
The messages in this book were too good to pass up. Therapy was a great tool in this book, and author Unique executed their growth well. Although an emotional read, this was probably my second favorite book written by her.
Luvin’ An Atlanta Boss (The Stockley Family Book 8)
After being convinced to relocate to Atlanta with her child’s father, Nitoya finds herself in nothing but mess and betrayal.
To make matters worse, she rear-ends someone one rainy night and goes into preterm labor. But that night will change her life in more ways than one, and Nitoya will never be the same.
Antron, known as Boss around the way, has already been divorced once and isn’t looking for anything except the next money move. But he never expects to be crashed into by a beautiful bombshell in such a vulnerable state.
Once he steps in to help her adjust to the new responsibility, the impossible becomes inevitable and he finds himself falling for Nitoya more and more everyday. When an old flame comes back around in hopes of regaining what he feels is his, Boss’s feelings can no longer be denied. But when it comes to what’s his, will he be able to keep himself in control or is the storm that’s brewing too much for either of them to handle?
Listen, although this is book eight of a fourteen-book series. Antron ‘Boss’ was my favorite. I cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve reread this book because of him. From the moment Nitoya enters his life it’s up and stuck for Antron.
Hood Love Don’t Play Fair
Spoiled, entitled and beautiful are just a few ways to describe Lourdes. She has the world wrapped around her finger, especially her high school sweetheart Horatio affectionally known as Heavy. He would give her the world if she asked him for it but all she wanted was time, love and loyalty.
Heavy had a plan, to go to a D1 school for basketball. When Lourdes comes into his life, she gives him more of a reason to reach his goals. Just when things seem to be going right, skeletons come tumbling out of everyone’s closet putting Heavy in a situation that may cost him his basketball career.
Fast forward and everyone’s life has gone in a different direction until divine intervention pulls them back together only for more secrets and drama to rise. Heavy and Lourdes must decide if their love is worth fighting for. Follow them on their journey to prove just why Hood Love Don’t Play Fair.
This was a read that gave me all the feels. The love jumped off the pages and kept me glued to my Kindle. Lourdes and Heavy were younger than I was used to from author Unique, but we got to see them grow and I enjoyed the journey.
Luvin’ an Atlanta Bully (The Stockley Family Book 3)

Priest was a fool and a half, and I loved every bit of it. Mielle and Priest were a match made in heaven. Even through their drama, I knew they loved each other badly. There were times that my jaw was on the floor… but it just made for great reading.
