Sometimes light can be found in the dark.

Rafe is a blazing sun in the center of my universe. He’s my strength. The only man capable of healing me. He's the love of my life.

He’s also my enforcer. The strikes of his belt shield me from self-harm’s temptation, but old habits are hard to break. No matter how much light we infuse into our deviant world, we still feed off each other’s twisted desires.

Now I stand before him dressed in white, on the cusp of putting my fragile heart into his hands forever.

But what if forever ends today?

What if the past isn’t finished with us yet?

We’ve gone through hell to get here, and nothing and no one is going to take this away from us.

NOTE TO READERS: Deviant is a dark romance with kidnapping and other disturbing themes. Intended for mature readers. Not for the faint of heart. You’ve been warned. Part 5 in the Condemned series.

this series omg currently one of a kind passionate kinky dark engaging there's so many words but none of them would do the justice needed for these

I cried got mad and yes threw my kindle which I had to switch to my phone until the new kindle comes in all because this book got under my skin why I asked myself a million times why can't they have there hea but after I calmed down I realize that if they did I'd be sad because I can't let these characters go just yet Gemma James your a master of intrigue suspense and romance your words leave me hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for the next and next then you leave it like you did and I kinda hate you for that but grateful because it hasn't ended yet so please hurry with the last book because I need to read it so bad

The reason I didn't give much away Is because you need to read this book let alone the series if the weords tempted you I suggest you go buy them all now I promise you wont regret it and it's worth every penny spent and I don't believe in spoilers of any sort I'm sorry but not really ok now just go buy them you'll see what I'm talking about

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Rafe and Alex. What a dark and twisted couple.
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018

I can’t believe I was introduced to Gemma James and her Condemned series back in 2015 with the first book Torrent. Deviant is book 5 and it was so good to be back with Alex and Rafe. Their relationship is unconventional to say the least but it works for them. Their dark and twisted urges keep their guilt and demons away.
Rafe is darker than ever but his love and protectiveness for Alex is really what fuels him. He can and will get rough with Alex but she needs and feeds off it cause her guilt is still eating at her. She was the reason Rafe was put in jail back then because of her lies. Besides her guilt she fears he will leave her. They both struggle with honesty because of fear of hurting each other.

Their past soon catches up with them and it was a thrilling and erotic ride. It was so easy to get back in the Condemned universe. I love these two flawed and broken characters who’ll never give up fighting. For each other.
Their love and faith in each other is stronger than ever. It was good to see Rafe’s friend Jax again cause his friendship with Rafe is definitely unique too. Deviant is not the end and I can’t wait to read the next book cause I can’t get enough of Rafe and Alex.

This is not for the faint of heart! Be sure you have read the previous books in this series . .  That bring said I could Not put this book down! The way this talented twisted writer draws you into the all consuming world of Alex and Rafe  is nothing short of mind blowing. . . I read it in one day. Just when I thought I had it figured out I realized quickly that u was WRONG!! Their love is profane, fierce and impassioned.  There are moments of no way did I just read that correctly . . .then realize . . .Yea you did and were made to like it. The intensity is astonishing. . . I was wonderfully floored repeatedly . . .this is a must have must read!! Pay attention to detail you don't wanna miss anything and make sure you remember to breathe I was on the edge of my seat with bated breath . . .can't wait until Desent!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Well...*Spoilers*

I wanted this to be another five star read, but I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it that much. I love a story of love and the challenges of it, but in my opinion, this one goes a bit too far. This isn't love by any means. I've heard of many couples who are kinky and enjoy it majorly. But letting others see it, letting others participate in any fashion is dead wrong.
There were other things, when Alex begged him not to bring in such conditions and he did anyway, it made me feel hollow inside. No matter how strong a person is, they still need compassion.
Also, when Angel came into the story, having suffered terrible abuse, only to be witness to more of it. I can't enjoy reading such a thing.
Love the author, love her talent. This just wasn't a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is indeed Deviant

The fifth book in the series continues with Alex and Rafe struggling against the dark forces out there of her brother Zach, the evilness of her stepfather as well as Shelton, the fight promoter who will stop at nothing to make money. The only one who seems to be on their side is his friend Jax. This is an incredibly dark series filled with so much twisted and horrible things done to both Alex as well as Rafe that it seems they will never see the light. A warning to you as you read the book this one ends in a huge cliffhanger with the next book due out in June 2018. This is a book that you will find yourself quickly turning the pages to see how it is going to turn out. This book is not for the feint hearted because Deviant is definitely the correct title in this case.

5.0 out of 5 stars No, no, NO!!!! A cliffhanger? Really Ms. James?
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018

It has been two years since I have had a taste of the Condemned series, and let me say I still love it completely. Rafe Mason is still one of my favorite dark book boyfriends. While I don't agree with his conditioning of Alex, I do love the fact that he is 100% committed to her, and wants to make up for all of his wrongs.

When Vagrant ended, I had so many questions left unanswered, but this book gave me some closure but left me wanting to throw my kindle across the room. I despise Zach and I really, I mean REALLY hope he gets whats coming to him. Grrrr...I'm getting angry just typing about him. I hope we get more from Rafe and Alex soon, as I don't think my heart can handle another long wait, especially after the ending to this book.

Be warned you will be angry too!!!

I loved this book ... Rafe and Alex belong together .... they fit the twisted pieces of each other perfect .. he can go off the deep end a lot , but he loves her completely ... she would do anything for him and she has.... more than most women would do... they are finally married .... I was so happy for them, for a split second ... I love these two characters , I love to read about them ... So I am extremely happy/disappointed that there is a sixth book coming in June ( that is cookbooks far away too ) I want to read more about them , but I also think they deserve their twisted version of HE A ... I wouldn't mind hearing more about Jax and Angel also....

Alex & Rafe are back and we're reminded of their twisted connection and then some. I was a little worried that I might have to skim re-read the previous books but no problems, luckily Gemma James adds enough details in to jog your memory but without making you feel like you're going over old storylines.
This continuation in Deviant is just brilliant and had me as hooked as the otheR books in this series.

I don't want to say too much and give away any plot lines but it's a great fifth book. I will say one thing. We're left with another cliffhanger NNNNooooooooooooooooo😫😫😫😫😫😫. Bring on June for installation 6 of this fantastic story

I thought this was it this was going to give the ending but about three pages from the end it gets snatched away from you and we're off again on this rollercoaster no ending in sight and with the confession of the author that it's been two years since the last book are we ever going to get the end the next is on pre order but I'm starting to doubt that it's going to materialize any time soon.
