Two people in their twenties whose souls are lost and broken. This is their story. There is a quote from the book that was a poster on the wall in a clinic that sums up Never Ross and Ty McCabe.
“Do you feel alone? Do you use sex as a way to connect with strangers? Have your desires motivated you to seek sex with people you wouldn’t normally choose? How about in places or situations you wouldn’t normally choose? So your sexual encounters leave you at risk for STDs, unwanted pregnancies, rape or violence? Have you ever had a sexual encounter that has left you feeling hopeless or alienated? Suicidal?”

Tragic things from their childhood have Ty and Never using to sex to numb there pain. He lived for a time as a prostitute and she screws every wrong man she can find. When they first meet its instant dislike or so they think. But what it really was two people recognizing the other half of themselves and at first not liking what they saw. But its not long before they both realize that they need each other but not in their typical sexual way. The two embark on a journey of healing. In this first part they make the decision to first get tested for every disease known to see if they have given themselves a death sentence by their sexual history. Once they get the results they then start going to a sex addicts group.

Both Never and Ty know they need to lance the infected boils of their past so they can bring it all out in the open and from there start the healing process. We get the start of Never’s story but this book ends with her really just beginning her journey. So yes this book ends with a cliffhanger but as all of the books are now out I’m ok with that as I can move right onto the next one.

This was a short read but one that I really enjoyed and according to Ms Stunich website this is part one of a trilogy. I liked that the story didn't follow the good girl falls for bad boy kind of plot. The story was very raw and both Ty and Never had unresolved issues. They both deal with it by having sex with a lot of strangers although Ty goes one step further but I'll leave that out as to not spoil it for you. We never really find out what Ty's issues are so I'm hoping the next book is Ty's POV and goes deeper into his story. Also although we sort of find out about Never's, they are far from resolved. We do get a nice satisfactory ending instead of a huge cliffhanger but it left me wanting much more from these two. ( )

Cortito , entretenido y con personajes agradables .

Recomendado para los que se devoran las historias de superación personal a través del amor (que en esta época parece que salen de todos lados) . ( )

3.5 Stars! Deep dark wounded love attempting to survive bad history. Never Ross has problems, big ugly run away from your family problems. She meets Ty McCabe while in at college in a bar where is she is looking to hook up. Ty also has big problems and as a former whore, he has never been in love. Never uses sex as a way to escape her pain. Ty and Never almost hook up for a quick romp but something puts him off, he tells her she's not worth it and 30 minutes later they are involved in a robbery homicide at a convenience store that changes their relationship forever. This love story is very hard to read but worth it. They begin to heal and try to make sense of their bad histories. Looking forward to book 2 to see what happens next. ( )
