The Theory of Deviance by Rebecca Grace Allen

Deviance is unacceptable. It’s taboo. And it’s the one thing he’s always wanted.

Painful shyness isn’t the only reason Mikey Pelletier is a twenty-five-year-old virgin. Between working for his parents and volunteering at his church, he neither has the time nor the inclination to admit his bisexuality to the world—or to himself.

A visit from Krissy Porter will hopefully fix everything. After three months of chatting with her, Mikey’s got one carefully planned week to win her heart and lose his V-card. He’s hoping he can pull it off, even with her roommate along for the ride.

Krissy has been drawn to Mikey for a while. He’s so easygoing, she thinks he could be the calm in her storm. But there’s an extra complication when she comes to visit: her friend-with-benefits, “hetero-flexible” roommate, Rafe.

During a week of revelations, intimacy, and kink, Krissy and Rafe become the angel and devil on Mikey’s shoulders, tempting him in different directions. And all three of them discover that a week of pure deviance can lead to the most uncontrollable emotion of all: love.

Warning: This book contains innocent board game-playing that takes a sexy turn, use of recreational substances, back-door action, and some smokin’ hot threesomes. Plus, scenes of inner-demon slaying. Fans and tissues advised.

Dawn – ☆☆☆☆
I really enjoyed this book. Mikey gets more than he bargained for when he asks Krissy to visit. He thinks he is finally going to lose his V-card. Krissy brings her roommate, Rafe, with her, he is all kinds of sexy and confuses Mikey. Krissy and Rafe really are like angels on his shoulders, however they are both whispering for him to do very naughty things.

The book is pretty hot with a great ending. I really enjoyed it.


Veronica – ☆☆☆
From the synopsis and the cover, I expected a book jam packed full of sex and not much else. I was pleasantly surprised that The Theory of Deviance provided more. Krissy is dealing with mental illness, Mikey is dealing with his sexuality and his religious believes, and Rafe struggles to do what he believes is the right thing.

I enjoyed The Theory of Deviance and the issues it covers, and the erotic scenes where are hot. But when it came to the more serious feelings between our trio, I didn't feel what the characters were feeling. I did quite like the ending. It pulled the threads of the story together well.
