Story
I’m a single female who’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-20s to late-30s, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match. Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

Story
I’ve always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can’t. Can’t graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can’t win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can’t make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn’t sound like a challenge. Then again, I’d never seen her before. He obviously wasn’t thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her.

Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

Story
It started with one night out with the boys. She was the hot diner waitress putting herself through school. I was the rich, arrogant player everyone misjudges. On paper, we didn’t match. Yet all it took was one day. One single day to change her mind. She wasn’t planning to spend her day off with me. She wasn’t supposed to fall for my charm. But one day, one smile, turned into several nights of her calling out my name. I’m not the guy she should end up with. I’m jealous, possessive. Not here for a long time - just a good time. She’s changed me.

Publisher's 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".

Desperate to find a new mechanic, the last thing Reddington expects is a woman to show up, let alone one with a sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to just do her job and not give him lip. He can't deny he's hoping to catch a view of her bent over a hood, but there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. As much as Red wants to take her for a test drive, he knows he needs to keep his priorities straight.

In the dark alley of a pub, the words "Please don't" take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her. Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her - melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn't believe in either. Then there was you....

For the first time in my life, I'm living for myself - not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

I’ve always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can’t. Can’t graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can’t win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can’t make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn’t sound like a challenge. Then again, I’d never seen her before. He obviously wasn’t thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her.

I like bad boys and I cannot lie
Oooh! Cane is a total book boyfriend material and I swooned over him. Loved the chemistry and all the drama. I nurse a love for alpha men and Adriana seems to have crafted him with keeping my kinks in mind. lol! The audio narration was engaging and the dual cast made the audiobook more fun, enjoyable and totally worth it.

Loved it!!!
I was completely immersed in Cane and Jada's story. I loved the bad boy who becomes obsessed with the girl who doesn't want to give him the time of day. Both of them make some poor choices, but it brings them to the best conclusion.
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!

who is this guy???
oh my I really liked these narrators. even when Cane was being... ugh awful (he was! he wasn't a perfect book boyfriend the whole novel) I just liked hearing this guy talk.
I love Adriana Locke. There were a few times I wanted to smack ole Cane in the face and then he goes and does something sweet. There were some small thrills I wasn't expecting! ❤️

Exciting romance!
So I love Adriana Locke! She is one of my favorite romance writers so when I was asked to review this audiobook of one of hers that I had yet to read, I was so excited!
I love an Alpha hero, I don’t know what it is about them but I just like to see them soften because of their LI. Cane was exactly like this, and Jada was so good for him.
I really loved reading their story but I liked the action that came along with this book as well. I am finding that I love a romance that also has thriller/mystery components to it. This was exciting and fun and I really enjoyed it.
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶/5
Read this if you like:
❤️ An Alpha Hero
❤️ Keeping on the edge of your seat
❤️ Amazing, Supportive friendships
Thank you to the author for this gifted audiobook!

The Exception Series
The Exception (The Exception Series, Book 1) is a romantic suspense told in dual pov. With angst, love and a torrent of activity. Character's are complex and envelop unabridged passion. Brimming with a tortuous path, secrets from the past , sensual moments and a true exception hea.
Connor Crais, Samantha Brentmoor were remarkable in their narration of The Exception. Jada and Cane's lovestory was beautifully brought to reality. I enjoyed both narrators inflections.

Caine is drawn in by Jada. She wants nothing to do with him. I enjoyed the realness of this story. Jada is figuring out who she is after her divorce. But the chemistry between Jada and Caine is palpable! I liked how their relationship grew and how these narrators brought them to life!

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.

Entertaining and emotional
Adriana Locke is one of my go to authors and I’m surprised I haven’t read this series so when I was given the opportunity to listen to Connor Crais and Samantha Broadmoor’s narration I jumped at the chance. I was not disappointed because this listen was everything I have come to expect from this very talented author and this talented narration duo.
This is Jada Stanley and Can Alexander’s emotional and entertaining journey and from the moment I picked up my headphones I was captivated. Cane is a man not looking for a relationship, one night stands are his jam, a arrogant successful businessman and a player means there is no room for a woman until he comes across Jada. Jada has just got away from an abusive marriage and the last thing she needs is to fall for a player but what happens when this couple meet and both their life’s are turned upside down….one click now to find out.
The Exception ticked all my boxes, I was captivated and I was kept on the edge on my seat apps this couple danced around their feelings. I adored the characters and their journey touched me on so many levels which leaves me excited for the rest of the series.

Loved this book!
I’ve truly never read an Adriana Locke book I didn’t like and The Exception is no exception! Jada and Cane are the perfect match, as much as they both resist the pull between them. But Cane is ready to anything and everything for Jada, even when she’s hesitant to be with him. Loved the narration on this one too!

I can't believe this was Adriana's debut novel! I'm a big fan of hers; I've read a good amount of her books already. So when her team reached out to ask if I wanted to listen to the audio of this book I immediately said yes, and I'm happy I did! To be completely honest, it was a little more angsty than I'm used to from her but I didn't mind. Already evident from this first book of hers, Adriana is really good at crafting characters and staying true to who they are. It's a really impressive debut overall.
Similarly, I thought the narrators, Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor, did an excellent job as well. I felt like they were able to bring the personality of their characters to life and kept my attention.
Read/listen if you love: a reformed badboy alpha hero, a strong badass heroine, romance with a side of suspense, Dual POV!
