The Exception - by Sandi Lynn Book Review

See this content in the original post

Hello friends and lovers,

Jillian and Drew. What couldn’t I say about this couple’s love story? It had me from the beginning when Jillian fled from her life to start fresh. This story is all about how fate and destiny brings this couple together. The universe begs for them to be together.
One of my all time favorite movies is Serendipity, starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack. The whole premise of the story is their instant first love connection and how destiny brought them together years later. (Fun fact, l went to eat a delicious dessert at Serendipity in NYC! Best and biggest dessert I ever ate ❤️).

Below are highlights of what u liked and didn’t like. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

What I Enjoyed:

  • Drew and Jillian have a very destiny type romance. Fate brings them together in more ways than one. I’m a sucker for soulmates! What can I say? We need more of these type of stories.

  • Jillian is incredibly bright and I enjoyed the voice that Sandi Lynn created for her. She’s strong in her own way and I enjoyed seeing her character grow throughout the book.

  • Drew, he is quite the handsome guy and so romantic with Jillian. He’s a swoon worthy guy and I could see how Jillian is The Exception to the rule. We are all someone’s exception, after all.

  • There was always sexual tension between the two characters, which I absolutely love. It makes for a worth while read when they finally get together!

What I Didn’t Like:

  • There isn’t much that I could dislike about this book.

  • If I could tweak one thing it would be so extend the sex scenes a bit more. I rated this a 5/5 on steaminess, because it is. I think I’m just too greedy and want more when it comes to Jillian and Drew!

  • Grant. He is a d-bag. I get it! However, I wouldn’t mind seeing a bit more of him in the beginning. It wouldn’t alter the story in any way, just would be nice to see that extra detail.

Rating: 💋💋💋💋💋/ 5

  • I’m giving this one a full five stars. I’m a sucker for fate/destiny type stories. This felt more so real and not forced, which I like. The characters didn’t open believe in fate, it just happened.

Steamy Rating: 💋💋💋💋💋/ 5
