About The Book:
Title: STRIPPED Without You
Author: Brooklyn Skye
Publication Date: November 30, 2013
College freshman Quinn Montgomery will do anything to avoid the mistake her sister made—killing herself over a boy. But when she is forced into nude modeling at a local college to support her family after a bankruptcy, she begins to crack, just enough to let Torrin, the university’s top varsity oarsman, see that the real Quinn is not as feisty and unapproachable as she wants everyone to think. But letting someone in comes at a steep cost and, it turns out, Torrin is connected to Quinn’s family in more ways than she could ever imagine.
WITHOUT YOU (a novella)
She was broken when I met her, shattered from the death of her sister and running from love. Not to sound like an egotistical douche or anything, but I fixed her. Put her back together, filled in the cracks, and made her whole. A true fairytale in her eyes.
But now real life is getting in the way: school, jobs, and the unexpected opportunity to travel the world under a legendary photographer. This internship will open doors not even my father’s influence could. It’s something I’ve been waiting all my life for. But so is Quinn, and accepting this internship will mean leaving her.
And breaking her all over again.
My Review:
Stripped by Brooklyn SkyeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Stripped by Brooklyn Skye is a tale of struggle, loss and healing with a hot rowing God thrown in for good measure.
Quinn's family has been through the wringer. Her sister committed suicide a year ago, her father, Dean of a nearby College, was involved in a massive scandal a few short months after that. Now the family is bankrupt and Quinn has to find some way to pay for college. The best paying job she can find that still leaves her enough time for school, nude modeling for a college art class. But not at her college, her dad's old place of employment so she doesn't end up modeling for people she knows.
Torrin collides with Quinn, quite literally, on her first day of work and is relentless in his pursuit of her. He slowly breaks down the walls she has built around her heart in a determined effort to not become like her sister. Heartbroken and suicidal over a boy.
As it often happens in life, these two fall in love with each other and then the universe steps in and throws them some wicked curveballs. Can they make it through the secrets and lies and come out the other side still in love AND together?
Without You by Brooklyn SkyeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Without You by Brooklyn Skye is a follow-up novella to Stripped and is from Torrin's point of view.
Quinn and Torrin made it through their combined family drama, but now what?
Torrin has received an internship offer that will take him away from Quinn but will allow him to follow his dreams. How could he do that to her though, after all they've been through?
Quinn has some decisions to make herself about what to do with herself and her future while Torrin's away.
If you have read Stripped you MUST read this also, otherwise the story is just not complete.
About The Author:
Brooklyn Skye grew up in a small town where she quickly realized writing was an escape from small town life. Really, she’s just your average awkward girl who’s obsessed with words. Stripped is her debut novel.
