A review by reedkaye
Deviate by Mia Monroe

5.0

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I don’t even know where to begin. When I read the blurb I felt this would be an interesting, fun mm story. Boy it is so much more. It is interesting, fun and mm but it is also beyond emotional, well thought out, sexy, unsure relationship and a outstanding romance story. It is so much more than mm. The author lays out several times its not the gender a person falls in love with but rather the two people who fit together and fall in love no matter who or what they are. I really enjoyed the fact the author made this is much more than a stereotype friends to lovers gay romance. The original idea behind the actions of Jason and Quinn is original. I dislike paying taxes but this takes it beyond. As the story progresses the questionable relationship between them is well played out. I really enjoyed the “together date night” they had and how sexy they were throughout the story. It is fun to read a story were you think things will go one way and then as you are reading you question your assumptions. The story flows so consistently throughout and concludes so smoothly that I ended the book with a warm hearted feeling. I envy having a friend like Charlie. So unjudge mental and caring. He added so much to the story from beginning to ending. This is one of the few books I will read again just for the good feelings it left me with. I look forward to the next book in the series.
