Passionate & Intense!

The Exception is a mafia second chance romance and a fantastic start to the Billioner Kings series. This extended prologue constructs a solid foundation for the entire series. Aside from an excellent storyline and the characters' development, Eva Winners takes the audience on an indepth journey as the characters evolve. I can't wait to see the ripple effect of the events through the series. The book is longer than expected; however, the pace is a smooth flow that I didn't realize time going by. I seriously, I couldn't stop listening. Kristoff and Gemma's journey is stormy, ardent, hot, and filled with ups and downs. Their chemistry is intense and explosive; you can feel the tension and force behind their connection.

Troy Duran and Mackenzie Cartwright are my all-time favourite narrators. They genuinely do justice to an author's written words and the characters. They each utilize years of experience in their work. It was an absolute pleasure listening to both bringing Kristoff and Gemma's emotionally turbulent, passionate, and captivating love story to life.

The Exception, the prologue to the Billionaire Kings Series, is an audiobook I highly recommend!

Kristoff & Gemma!

I love Eva Winners, but I have to say, when I say the length of this audio, I hesitated. I thought, will it entertain me the entire time? I started, and within the first chapter I was hooked, and every minute I could, I had my ear buds in and on, lost in Kristoff and Gemma's story. Gemma is a single mom with a secret. Living on her last dime, she is desperate for a job. Kristoff is a billionaire, looking for an administrative assistant with benefits. The attraction is immediate but Gemma isn't quite sure this is for her, until he blackmails her with the secret she thought no one knew and they agree upon a trial period to see how it goes. As they start their relationship of sorts, her problem of becoming attached begins. But what she doesn't realize is Kristoff is enjoying his time with her and her girls too. But when their trial gets close to the end, Kristoff's walls go back up and he does anything and everything to close her out. How does it end? Secrets, explosive chemistry, trust issues, family times, crazy ex's, and soul mates all play a part in this fantastic start to the Billionaire Kings series, and I cannot wait to hear more!

In duet narration, Troy Duran and Mackenzie Cartwright bring it all to life. These two are some of my favorites, and they have a chemistry when they narrate together that brings out all the emotions, all the frustrations and all the fun. Fantastic secondary characters, lots of action and the feelings all come alive with there performance and I could not get enough. It's a fantastic listen!

Great listen, narrators were so good

This book was highly addictive. There are some lulls but not so much to really impact your experience. The narrators did a great job fleshing out the characters and giving them some dimension.

Non rushed relationship development

This audiobook is long. It affords us a true non rushed look into their relationship development. It highlights trauma and how anyone can have some and how it does in-fact change a person while also not skimping on the 🔥. Some of the book you can see coming while some you don’t. It has some 50 shades similarities but it isn’t the same story retold, it is based on claiming in a different way.

Emotional

This was such an emotional story! It was so full of emotions, angst, snark and sass, and plenty of spice.
I loved the chemistry between Gemma & Kristoff, they both had their fears, secrets, and things from their past that affected their relationship.
I absolutely loved how Kristoff included her childhood, and that they were a big part of the story.
Kristoff was full of tenacity and hard work.

Excellent storyline

This book is very enjoyable. The characters are well written and have depth to them. I love how resistant the leading lady is to begin with. A fantastic performance from both narrators.

FIERY PASSION!

I loved Kristoff and Gemma, they were unconventional and definitely the exceptions and it was so refreshing.

I loved that she was a mom and not the "usual" female mc that most authors write. I loved Kristoff's broody self and I loved all the angst and excitement in this book. It was so good!

This had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story! I was so captivated!

Troy Duran and MacKenzie Cartwright did a fantastic job!
