Summary
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 best-selling author Adriana Locke comes a tale full of twists and turns. Listners 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".

Cane & Jada!
This is the reason I love Adriana Locke. This book is so good, so easy to relate to and just pure enjoyment! Meet Jada. Recently divorced from Decker, her abusive husband, she is now living with her sister Cari. She has captured the attention of the local player, Cane, a friend of Cari's boyfriend. He has no interest in a relationship, but there is something about Jada that intrigues him. Maybe it's the fact that she is not the least bit interested in a relationship. But there is a definite attraction, and she may not be able to resist the charms of this man for long. Will he be able to keep it casual? Both their pasts come to haunt them, and we get to peel away the many layers to both of these characters. Locke gives us a little suspense at times, keeping the story exciting and our hearts invested. It's fantastic and one of my favorite kind of listens!
To make it even better, Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor breathe life into these characters. Understanding each one, giving them the care they deserve and creating their personalities, giving us their feelings and making them real. I loved these two together and loved the performance.

Swoony and sweet with a touch of suspense
The Exception is swoony and sweet, with a little bit of danger and suspense.
Jada is starting over after getting out of a toxic relationship and not looking to jump back into anything. She knows she needs to swear off of those “bad boys” she seems to be attracted to, but as soon as she meets Cane Alexander she is fighting a losing battle against the immediate attraction.
“You’re the one exception to every rule I’ve ever made.”
Cane has a rule to keep his relationships uncomplicated but meeting Jada proves that some rules were made to be broken.
“You’re my world. My happiness. My exception.”
I loved listening to The Exception on audiobook. The narration was wonderful and just made the reading experience even better.

Wow!!
This is the first book Adriana wrote and for some reason this is the only series of hers and hadn't read until now but now I'm asking myself why! This book is amazing and you can't help but fall in love with Cane, made even better that he has the same birthday as me. This book has some mystery flung into the mix that makes you not want to put it down!

So good!
This is a great book and it's hard to believe this was a debut novel. Loved the story, loved the characters and couldn't have asked for more. I don't know why I waited so long to listen Cane and Jada's story!

A great Listen
I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait for the next book. Cane Alexander was a really strong character that was easy to fall for. It kept my interest throughout which doesn’t always happen with this genre.

Exceptionally Grand! Fantastic Story & Narration🎧
Consider me wowed, I loved everything about this book, from Adriana Locke’s wonderful writing style to the characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narration who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. I can't believe that this is the author’s debut novel, it is impressive how gifted she was from the start. The story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it through the entire book. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are likable and easy to care about too. Jada Stanley divorced her controlling and abusive husband and is starting over again, moving in with her sister, Cari, and will work in her father’s real estate business. Then Jada captures Cane Alexander’s attention, a friend of Cari’s friend, Max. But Jada’s ex-husband, Decker, has left her with a back taste in her mouth and she has no interest in men, especially cocky, alpha, bossy men who are players, like Cane. Cane is not used to being turned down and is not about to give up on her. This is something new for Cane and it was great to watch him try to get somewhere with her. There are a lot of layers to this book, besides the romance storyline, Cane’s past is coming back to haunt him and causing trouble for him, his business and threatens those he cares about. Jada’s ex-husband wants her back and stirs things up, too. I loved how everything played out in this wonderfully plotted story, there is plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, angst, thrilling suspense, and a steamy romance. Adriana Locke, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor are superbly talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying these characters, giving each a voice that suits their character’s persona perfectly, sounding believable in every role they played. Crais nailed Cane’s swoon worthiness and his alpha-tude and Brentmoor grasped every side of Jada’s personality, from her strength to her vulnerabilities. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters and handled the witty dialogue with ease. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhanced an already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

I loved this book and couple. With such strong characters I was worried that I wouldn’t like the H but he was brilliant. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Brilliant performance.
