Tasting Never is a series of popular contemporary romance series of novels by bestselling American author C.M. Stunich. The first novel in the series was the titular title “Tasting Never” that was first published in 2012 to rave reviews. The lead characters in the series are Never and Ty, who are broken characters living on the edges of reality. With self-loathing flowing from the pages of the novels, the characters could not be any more broken as they find their relief from engaging with sex with random people. These are not your usual love at first sight kind of stories as the characters grow to love and cherish each other over the course of the series, despite being fatally broken. They are emotional, raw, and dark stories about heroes and heroines that tear and hurt each other every chance that they can, with volatile words intended to hurt. But it is the raw emotion they exhibit that results in such an intense chemistry in and outside of the bedroom, as the two engage in emotional games that pull and push in unimaginable places. Even as the lovers do not hit it off with instant love or even friendship, over the course of the novels, they work out their issues as they seek to find a middle ground to reconcile their present and pasts. For Never and Ty, sex is a major crutch that they use to make up and reconcile after major bust-ups, which happens every so often to make for some of the most thrilling of narratives.

Never is a girl that decided to merely exist rather than to live, having lived a life of disappointments and pain. All alone and with no one to comfort her in her dark moments, she punishes and abuses herself by destroying her life, sleeping around, and running away from her torrid past. For the twenty-one year old college student who has never spoken to her family in five years, and has no friends, emotional involvement is not something that she does. Ignoring friendship and love she screws around as sex makes her feel for one tiny little second that somebody cares for her, even though nothing could be further from the truth. Numb and unemotional, she has vowed that she will never care enough to allow anyone or anything to ever hurt her again. However, what fate has planned for her leaves her reeling when she meets Ty McCabe, who forces her to face up to the truth. Kicking, screaming and fighting, she grows and gets her wings to fly higher than she had ever thought possible. Ty is a tattooed, wounded, sex addict, and sex whore turned beautiful savior determined to save Never from herself. Ty has a crazy past having sold himself as a young man to older women just to get by. However, this never comes out until the latter novels as he faces up to his demons after successfully helping Never face hers.
