Review for Your Exception by Bria Starr!!


Logan Kalford was Wren Summers’ dream come true.
All I’d ever wanted was to fall in love and be loved in return.
Logan stole my heart when I least expected it. He was sexy, adventurous, and the way he played guitar left me weak in the knees. He made me happy. He made me think I’d found the one. And he made me believe in happy endings.
I knew he was my forever. I thought he knew it too.
I was wrong.
He destroyed everything I thought we had and shattered my dreams of us. He left me heartbroken. He made me doubt myself.
And he didn’t even seem to care…
Now I must let go. But how can I when he still consumes me?
How do you walk away from what you know was real?


THE REVIEW

I swear I wanted this review up first thing this morning, but when I plan something... it never happens the way I want it.  Between wrapping, baking, and crocheting my last gift, I've finally found two minutes to get online and post it.  Also, my 10 yr old has decided he NEEDS to find his Mario 3D Land game for his 3ds RIGHT NOW!  It's somewhere in my house..... just don't ask me where...

Ok!!  Now... the review.  I was up until after two this morning reading this!!  I gotta say I loved it!!  

Wren has decided she's done with men after she catches her boyfriend of two years cheating on her with one of her friends.  That is... until she meets Logan.  He's the guitarist for a band playing at the bar The Edge where she is working part time.  She decides he's gorgeous, but she's going to keep her distance.  Unfortunately, her best friend Cassidy has other plans, since she wants the singer Jack.  

What she didn't expect was Logan wanted to spend time with her.  When they have one amazing night of talking all night, she realizes she's fallen for him.  It wasn't something she expected to do, but he seems like he returns the feelings.  Soon though, he seems to start making it clear he wants nothing to do with her.

After standing her up, she notices he's drifting away from her.  His texts are one worded or nothing at all, and after she confronts him about it, he breaks her heart.  What makes it worse, there's no explanation as to why he wants out.  He even goes as far as giving her the line... 'It's not you, it's me'.  She's devastated, but she knows she's to get on with her life.  

At the same time, her ex starts making her life a living hell.  He wants her back, and doesn't care what he has to do to get her back.  If that means physically dragging her from the bar, so be it.  Thankfully, she has friends who are looking out for her, and stop him before any damage is done.  Soon, she finds herself getting attention from two different guys.  Zach and Aaron.  She conflicted, as she and Zach have been friends for years.  She knows he has feelings for her, but she knows she's never feel the same, and tells him as much when he tells her what his true feelings are.  

There is a reason why she can't feel for them more then anything past friendship.  

Logan.  

He's forever in her mind, and he makes it hard because he's always in the background wanting to spend time with her.  She doesn't know what his game is, but for her sanity she needs to know what he's got planned, since he didn't seem to care about her feelings when were together.

I really loved this book! I loved Logan, and thought he was perfect for Wren.  I did want to give a kick in the ass when he was disregarding her feelings for him and brushing her off like she meant nothing. He does smarten up, and does everything he can to prove to her that he means business where his feelings are concerned.  He wants her, and he loves her, and will do anything to get to her back.

Wren is conflicted.  She knows that she shouldn't love Logan, but her heart has other plans.  She wants to be with Zach, but knows she can't settle for comfort and safety.  It wouldn't be fair to him or to her, and knows he needs to find the one for him.

*** TEASER ***

The following Saturday, Distort is playing their first weekend gig at The Edge. Cassidy and I are working together as the bar starts filling up close to capacity. I serve the reserved table their drinks as Holly constantly glares at me. Nothing, not even her, can ruin my good mood. Logan has slept over almost every night this past week. And what a week it has been!
As I walk past the stage, I can’t help but glance up at him. I love how he randomly winks at me or points to me as he plays his guitar. Being picked out of a room full of people makes a girl feel special. I smile shyly and carry on with my job.
I’m serving a group of regulars when I hear laughter and cheers all around me. I turn to see Logan standing there, singing directly to me. I'm mortified! I don't like attention in the slightest, and certainly not in a room with almost three hundred people. I put one hand over my face as Logan takes the other, falling to his knees for drastic measure. I endure it as long as possible before I tug on his hand, trying to make him stand up and stop with this nonsense. My face turns a new shade of red as he finally stops singing long enough to give me a lengthy kiss for all to see, and then continues singing as he walks over and jumps back up on stage. I know he did it just to get a rise out of me. Mission accomplished.
I continue getting sexy glances from Logan throughout the night, but he’s lucky I even look his way after that stunt. I also get a few friendly slaps on the back from some of the regulars with comments about how good we look together.
When their final set is over, I go into the side room off stage, for no other reason than to watch Logan take his shirt off. Giving me a few seconds to lust after him without his knowledge. I notice Holly is taking in an eyeful as well. I roll my eyes at her. Don’t even think about it.
As if sensing I'm near, he turns and comes over to embrace me. Giving me a lingering hug, and a hungry kiss, he asks, “Can I come over tonight?”
“Logan, you can come over any time you want. But after that shit you pulled tonight...well, I’m not so sure anymore,” I taunt.
“Oh, come on. You liked it.”
“I did not! That was extremely embarrassing. I had people coming up to me all night on account of you.”
“Well, I sure enjoyed it. I like people knowing you’re mine.”
“But I’m not yours,” I say directly.
“I hate to break it to you, but you are now,” he says with a glimmer of mischief in his eyes.
