Oliver London has no problem standing stark-ass naked in front of a group of strangers. As a figure model, it's afforded the nearly starving artist the time and means he needs to paint. Stori Ryder runs one of Manhattan's most popular speakeasies, Whiskey River. She's focused on her career and intent on securing a stable future after an unstable past. Fourteen years ago, the high school sweethearts parted on a sour note. When best friends invite them on a fabulous French Riviera wedding cruise, Oliver and Stori remember what it was that drew them together all those years ago. 3.5 Star Review by Ashley I've only ever read one other title from Leslie Pike but I am a sucker for a good second-chance romance so I knew I wanted to give Sexceptional a try. I was pulled into Stori and Oliver's sweet story and rooting for them from the first moment they reconnected. How they reconnected was where the magic happened. Their best friends from childhood are getting married! Those Dragoni twins were too funny and loaded. Hence the week long yacht tour through the French Riviera was the perfect backdrop of the romance that got away from Oliver and Stori all those years ago. I can't say who I liked better, Oliver or Stori. They were both interesting in their own right. Both dedicated to their families. Both struggling a bit in the pursuit of their dreams but following their passions. Success is at their doorstep but life happens and their futures are up in the air. Despite the setbacks, the one thing that was never in question was that they wanted to be together. Oliver and Stori battled through time and life and somehow found their way back to one another and they weren't letting that go. Ever. From the bowels of Brooklyn to the shores of Italy, Sexceptional was an adventure on every page.
