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.

Ms Pike has become one of my go to authors, especially when I am looking for something just a little different and that trend continues with Sexceptional.
Stori and Oliver were high school sweethearts until life (and an interfering Grandmother) severed their relationship. Fast forward 17 years and fate brings them back together when their respective best friends become romantically involved.
I appreciated the fact that Ms. Pike allowed us to get to know these characters as individuals and then allowed us to take the journey of reconnecting with them. Neither character had a huge emotional growth curve, but they did both grow and change together and it was sweet to see.
Well written and very entertaining, Sexceptional is a fantastic read, especially for anyone who believes in the idea that if it's the right person, the right time will come along too. A fun secondary cast rounds things out and contributes to this being a truly good book representing Ms. Pike's unique style of storytelling.
