Review: Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers #2) by Lee Kilraine



Six Brothers Construction was built to reunite a family and heal a painful past. So far it’s opened to rave reviews. But the youngest sibling is about to discover that the right woman can shake even a rock-solid foundation . . .Wyatt Thorne was so traumatized by his mother’s abandonment he didn’t speak until he was six. At 26, he’s still the quiet type—strong and silent, most comfortable with a hammer in his hand and work to do. But the reassuring rhythm of his life is interrupted when his brother Beckett decides to pay forward their unused office space to a needy start-up. Enter Rhia Hollis, flighty, impulsive, and outspoken—everything that drives Wyatt crazy. Only this time in the sexiest, most irresistible way . . .

Rhia is determined to disprove her reckless, party girl image by making her new company, Seize the Day, the premier event planning firm in Raleigh. She has big dreams, and the Thornes’ offer of a free command center is a huge help. But Wyatt’s gruff, stubborn resistance to her presence is an annoying hindrance. They’re as different as night and day, yet when they begin to meet in the middle, the sparks fly hot. Is this a case of opposites distract—or the beginning of a beautiful long-term project? . .

Terri's Thoughts

** I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!**

This is the second in the Thorne brother series and let me tell you that I love the Thorne brothers.  I was excited that this second installment followed the first so closely.  It allowed me to spend more time with the brothers without forgetting how much I enjoy them.  I can only hope the third book is released as fast.  I would recommend starting the series at the beginning as there is a running plot throughout the series thus far and you would be missing out if you started with this one.

I have a soft spot for the somewhat nerdy, quiet type male lead.  Wyatt was this to a tee, albeit a very attractive quiet nerdy type.  I was a goner as far as he was concerned right from the beginning.  Then pair him up with his extreme opposite and you know there will be fireworks.  Rhia was someone who would probably annoy the crap out of me in real life yet perfect for this story.  Someone who could get under Wyatt's skin and stay there.

In comparison to the first book, which I really liked, this one had amped up the humour factor.  I found myself giggling the whole way through the story.  For such an unlikely couple, Rhia and Wyatt really worked for me.

Perhaps my favorite thing about this book and the series thus far is the underlying theme of the importance of family, sticking together and facing life as a team.  The bond between these brothers is the biggest charm for this series and is what makes me want to keep coming back for more.  I don't know who the next story will feature but the groundwork is there for my favorite series from Kilraine so far.
