Quinn and Torrin may have resolved the issues with their families and their pasts in Stripped, but in Without You, they're facing their future and it's going to be just as difficult to handle. I enjoyed Stripped, but it felt oddly rushed and all of the issues were easily resolved. Without You felt more realistic. Quinn and Torrin had just found each other. They had each been making plans for the future, plans that didn't take into account the relationship neither of them planned on.Without You is told solely from Torrin's POV. After spending all of Stripped in Quinn's head, it was a nice change to get into Torrin's head. Not that I doubted his intentions or feelings in the first book, but I enjoyed reading about their relationship and issues from his perspective. I like Quinn, but she's overshadowed by Torrin in this series, in my opinion. I find him to be the more interesting character.Between old issues like Quinn's finances and how she chooses to address them and new issues like the amazing internship opportunity Torrin is offered, this couple has a lot stacked against them in this novel. Secrecy and jealousy don't help. They have some tough real-world decisions to make and the hardest decision of all is whether to be selfish or supportive of the other person.This was a short, well-written novella that I feel really advanced the characters in this series quite a bit. I blew through it in about an hour. If you liked the first book and are looking for another dose of Torrin and Quinn, I highly recommend it. And if you've not read the first book, but you enjoy reading sweet and sexy romances between broken characters with the odds stacked against them, you should give this one a shot. You won't be disappointed.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
