About this listen
Foolish women fall in love with the bad boy.
Cane Alexander was bad boy personified.
Confident, he entered a room with his piercing blue eyes wearing a smug grin. He was the proverbial red flag wrapped up in a ridiculous set of abs.
I tried to resist him. After all, I was done being a fool.
Maybe it was his charm, or perhaps it was his persistence. Maybe it was how he entered my life and refused to leave. Whatever the reason, I fell for the one man I should’ve resisted.
Even though it made me a target.
I didn’t know if I’d become yet another notch on his bedpost or be the exception to his rules.
Or if I’d survive long enough to be either.
From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a tale full of twists and turns. Listeners who enjoy opposites attract, romantic suspense, and cocky heroes will enjoy this story.
Note: The Exception now includes an extended epilogue previously titled The Connection.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
After losing her husband in a tragic accident, Julia Gentry is barely surviving. Raising her young daughter alone takes everything she has—and that’s not enough. She’s barely making ends meet. And then tragedy strikes again. Julia’s only hope lies in the last place she wants to look—in Crew Gentry. Her husband’s brother is broody. Irresponsible. He’s broken her heart more than once and let her down every time she’s needed him.

Story
Falling in love is easy. Falling out of love is the hardest thing in the world. And Elin and Ty Whitt are terrible at it. The first time the local basketball star smiled at Elin, she was a goner. It was just so damn easy to fall for the dark-haired hometown hero with his charming smile and strong, athletic build. Thousands of sleepy smiles, aimless drives down country roads, and squeaks of the backdoor after a swing shift later, reality hits. And it hits hard.

Story
He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.

With one glance at her in the club, I’m ready to claim her for the night. Dark, flowing hair. A smile that causes my heart to pound. Eyes that pierce my soul. And a perfect body that makes every part of me pulse. She’s addictive. Electrifying. Consuming. I’ve never wanted anyone more. Our eyes meet, but she looks right past me. She isn’t here for me. She’s here for the music. For the first time in my life, a woman makes me work for it. Her indifference fuels the fire inside me. The result? One night. No names. No introductions.

Secretly hooking up with the team captain's sister was a bad idea. In my defense, the first time I saw her I didn't know who she was. Kind, gorgeous, a little naïve. Ginny brightened my world from day one. I knew I was no good for her. She was just out of a relationship, and I had a reputation for having a new girl in my bed every weekend. I tried to do the right thing. Honest. I'm the one who insisted we should be just friends. That lasted about as long as you'd expect. But Ginny? She's the best - best friend, best everything.

Let me start from the beginning… To stay out of jail, I’m forced to spy on Kyle Townsend, the billionaire heir to the Townsend Industries throne. My plan is simple: infiltrate Townsend Industries, get evidence of their alleged illegal dealings, and fork it over to the person blackmailing me. Then I’ll be free to leave that life of crime behind me forever and raise my niece in the peace she deserves. But Kyle’s smarter than the average trust fund baby. He’s also ruthless and distrustful. He never lets anyone in…until one day at work. I get sick. He’s there to care for me.

Boring, tedious, not worth my time. I am so aggravated that I preordered this book. It was absurd. Much ado about nothing!

Story
"I’m kind of a lady, but definitely more of a weirdo." Hearing the woman at the table behind him say that to her friend should’ve turned Logan Gibbs off. It doesn’t. In all honesty, it only makes him listen harder. He’s had enough weird in his life to last a lifetime. The last thing his complicated life needs is a woman in it who has no clue what color you get when you mix yellow and blue together. Yet, her obvious blonde moments aren’t enough to deter him. Nor is her lack of finger-painting skills.

Story
Men suck. They break you. Leave you. Take everything until there's nothing left. And frankly, I'm done allowing them to make me feel insignificant. So, forget men. I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me. Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted. But, I'm only fooling myself. He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved.

Story
This may be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this: a prickly, five-foot-nothing hellcat Jasmin Smith. She was mine. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end, I would have her every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know.

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family.

This follows Jada, who has recently divorced her abusive husband and has moved home to Arizona to start over. The last thing she wants in her life is an alpha male playboy like Cane Alexander to barge into her life and complicate things. Cane is a one night stand kind of guy, but there is something about Jada. His best friend and co-worker, Max is seeing Jada's sister, so they are often at the same place at the same time, so Cane is determine to get Jada to spend time with him. She isn't interested, but eventually he wears her down. They fall into easy banter and their attraction and chemistry overshadow their desire to not enter into a relationship.
This follows some pretty standard romance tropes. Cane does some really stupid things in an effort to deny his feelings for Jada, and Jada forgives him a little too easily. Jada naturally has trust issues after dealing with her jerk of an ex, and Cane has some relationship baggage as well so it takes them some time to figure out trust and communication. Their road to happiness isn't an easy one, especially as Cane's family has made some enemies along the way and Jada has gotten caught in the crossfire of their family feud. Cane being the overprotective alpha that he is does what he thinks is best to protect her, which of course isn't necessarily the best thing for their relationship.
This is fairly steamy, so I would say it is definitely NSFW. If you are listening to the audio, I'd recommend listening to this with headphones on if you are concerned with little ones, co-workers, or anyone else overhearing anything you wouldn't want them to hear if you know what I mean.
Overall this is a fun, fast paced romance. It was a quick listen, and I was totally invested in the story. I'm really looking forward to reading Max and Kari's story, I loved them as side characters. There is obviously something holding them both back from taking the next step and I'm anxious to find out what that is.
Fun romantic suspense

This is Jada Stanley and Cane Alexander’s story and it ticked every box for me. Jada has escaped a cheating and at times abusive marriage and the last thing she wants is to fall for a player, such as Cane. Everyone knows he is a one and done kind of man and yet there is something about the arrogant businessman that.she is drawn to.
The mystery and suspense as the story unfolded was just as good as the romance and heat between Jada and Cane. The secondary characters added an extra layer to the story. I love the relationship that Cane has with his best friend and business partner Max and cannot wait to read his story.
There was so much more to Cane than the brash, arrogant man he portrays. He is a man who has been badly burnt in the past and has no intention of ever falling in love. That is until he meets Jada. There is something about her that calls to him on so many levels that it turns his life upside down.
I loved the push and pull dynamic as their story unfolded and have no hesitation in recommending The Exception.
Loved it - Great story and great narration

I was excited to go back and listen to this older book by Adriana. I have read her newer series and was so happy to find her older stuff is just as good. Romance with a little romantic suspense. Is there anything better?
The narrators did a great job telling this one. I didn't want to stop listening!
Loved it!!!

Having listened to Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor before, I was so thrilled when I found out these two were narrating The Exception! How how Connor and Samantha hooked me with their narration! I love the way these two brought Jada and Cane to life and had me feeling so much from start to finish with this listen! Connor and Samantha were so fantastic with their narration and kept me glued to my earbuds. I can't wait to listen to more from them in the future!
Jada and Cane's journey pulled me in! As Jada is trying to move forward, can she take a chance on Cane? Or will the risk to her heart be too much? I couldn't wait to find out!
Going into this story, I didn't know what all to expect which I throughly enjoyed! Both Jada and Cane had me going through many emotions throughout. I felt for Jada. The chemistry between her and Cane was great! I really liked the fact that these two and their story had realness.
With The Exception, Ms.Locke has created such a good story that had me feeling so dang much! I love how her writing captures my attention so completely and gets into my heart every single time. I can't wait to dive back into this world with book two, The Perception! 💗
4.25 Stars!

The Exception is the first book in The Exception series. This book is told from dual points of view by Jada and Kane.
Jada has gone through a rough relationship recently, and she's not looking to start a new one. However, Kane bursts that bubble, and charms the pants off Jada. However, her past keeps coming back to haunt her.
Can she get past the past and start something new with Kane? Can Kane get under Jada's skin and help her with her past? Will Jada and Kane have a happy ending?
I really enjoyed getting to know Jada and Kane and can't wait to see what happens next!
