Sometimes your life takes you in unexpected directions that you never imagined. This was the case for Emiline (Em) Ward. Em went through a devastating breakup that felt her struggling to pick up the pieces and move on with her life. I found her story to be realistic and relatable. We all know how much our first love meant to us and it's devastating to go through a horrific breakup, especially when you are blindsided by it. I really felt for Em throughout this story and it warmed my heart when she met Cameron. From the moment they met you could feel the sparks flying off the page and I just knew that their story was going to be something special. I loved all the beautiful and tender moments between Em and Cameron. I even loved the twists and turns thrown in for this couple to work through. I loved when Ben showed back up into Em's life and realized what he had lost. I felt bad for Ben but sometimes people make mistakes and they realize too late that they want the person back. If you want a beautifully written love story that will have you feeling all the emotions, you need to check out this book!!!

This is an excellent debut novel from an author I believe will become a big name in the business. Once I hit about the third or fourth chapter, I didn't want to stop reading. There are a few minor faults early on, but once Brittany Taylor hits her stride, this book becomes addictive. When I saw trouble coming for Em, (the main character) I wanted to say "Don't go to that party..." It also had me truly guessing as to what she would do, and who she would end up with. I hope Ms. Taylor continues to write - there are great things ahead for this talented author.

Within the first few pages of Without You I felt a connection to the main character, Em. I kept thinking to myself, "This poor girl!" This book has all the feels and will definitely pull at your heart strings. I liked the relationship between Em and her best friend, Sara. Very well written. I really liked Cam and was hoping their story got a happy ending! This book is written from Em's perspective and the follow up book, Without Me, is from Cam's. (Of course I immediately read it.) Both books are must reads!

Wonderful

Amazing job! I can't wait to read more! Hopefully soon there will be a sequel? Thank you for sharing this book with the world!!

This was a great debut story! The beginning was heart breaking, then a little slow moving, then it was just a great story. Em went through some traumatic losses in her early life that made it difficult to believve that people wouldn't leave her. Having her heart broken by Ben was just the tip of the iceberg for her...until she meets Cam. Cam is just everything that one wants in a romantic hero, and he wants to be everything to Em, but he's leaving for the Navy soon. Can these two overcome all of Em's hangups, or will things completely change for them?

I loved the main characters Em and Cam. There were some times that I wanted to just throat punch Em though...sometimes her fears and thought processes just made me angry. The supporting cast was a great addition to the story!

I was so happy with the way this story ended. I cannot wait to see more from this author!

The beginning was a little slow to me, but I read the last half in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I felt like I emotionally connected with Em very well, even though in the beginning I felt that it may have been more well suited toward me in my early twenties (I'm 28 now for reference). I can't wait to read more of Brittany's books when she writes them!

The first part was a little hard to get into, but once Cam is introduced and their connection is brought to life you get hooked. Good plot line, interesting characters and good writing. Can’t what to see what she writes next

Still crying!

What an emotional ride! This book was beyond sweet and heartbreaking. I got so lost in Em’s story that I forgot I was reading, I felt like I was in her world! Absolutely loved it😍

So good! So well written! Routing for Em and Cam! Sex is great, but a good love story is better!
