Give and Take: An Opposites Attract Forced Proximity Romance (Thorne Brothers Book 2) Kindle Edition

Six Brothers Construction was built to reunite a family and heal a painful past. It’s been earning 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, considered the black sheep in her family—the “flighty failure” in a family of brilliant success stories. Rhia is determined to make her new company, Seize the Day, the premier event planning firm in Raleigh. She has big dreams, and the Thornes’ offer of free office space is a huge help. Except Wyatt’s gruff, stubborn resistance to her presence is an annoying hindrance.

Wyatt Thorne is quiet, rigid, and a control freak—only a few of the words that come to mind when Rhia is butting heads with the man.

Rhia Hollis is perky, illogical, and a free spirit—all things Wyatt normally tries to avoid, except he can’t.

What happens when a gruff control-freak is forced to share space with a perky free-spirit?

Two people.

One office.

Zero chance sparks won’t fly.

Wyatt and Rhia are as different as night and day. Is it a case of opposites attract? Maybe…if they don’t drive each other crazy first.

Author’s note: While the Thorne Brothers series can be read as standalones, it is best enjoyed in order. Start with book one, Give it Up. Each book is a full-length complete story with a hard-earned HEA. Enjoy!

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers #2)
by Lee Kilraine
Rated 5 stars!

Wow this book has it all! Great characters, amazing lines and it makes me laugh. Those are all things I look for in a great book. I love characters that get me involved with their stories. I care about them can’t wait to get back to hanging out with them again. Most times I wish I could live with them. This story is full...I mean full of amazing lines. They are witty, give insight and make a person think. My favorite one is

“He sort of thinks I’m great, no matter what I do”.

Ok that right there is what everyone wants. But his comeback line just seals the deal!

“I think you are amazing”

This book had me cracking up and laughing. There is nothing that gives me more joy than reading a book that can make me laugh. When I am around other people they want to know what I’m reading that is so funny. The brothers in here....man they have overcome a lot and they have such a great camaraderie with each other. I just want to hang with them. Oh Wait! I want to be their receptionist! ( inside joke....ha ha...read the book)

Each of these characters were very enjoyable. The brothers with their banter. The sisters with their snark. It’s hard to pick a favorite. I think Wyatt grew the most but that wouldn’t have been possible without Rhia being so irritating to him. While reading I kept getting the impression this is not the first in the series. At the back it shows book 1 (Give it Up) so now I have something to occupy my time while I wait for the next book.

The best thing is I know their story isn’t done. I love catching back up with beloved characters in future books. This is easily a favorite book for me and I will be keeping an eye on this author.

Families differ in more than the number of parents and siblings living in the same place.
From the outside, Rhia appears to have the best: two parents, two brothers, one sister--each of them top in their chosen science niche. She’s the odd woman out--an outgoing people person who has left teaching and is trying her hand at event planning. It’s make or break for her to win free office space for her first year.
Wyatt Thorne, youngest of the brothers at Six Brothers Construction, likes quiet and order after a chaotic childhood. He does not want to share office space with a colorful whirlwind who brings in abandoned animals.
Join Rhia and Wyatt on a fast-paced journey to discover what—and who—they are really passionate about. And don’t forget the swoon worthy brothers currently unattached.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little dull
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022

Okay but seemed to be more about setting up future storylines. New characters were oddly inserted without any prep; i.e., the sister and the PI.
The first book took more time on the details that helped round out the settings & characters.
I found myself wondering where Hope stayed? We don’t know where Wyatt stayed until the end. Those details would’ve helped the overall story.
SPOILER**
Rhia & Wyatt’s getting together was not believable. Hey, let’s have sex. Really, was that it? So not a slow burn.
Rhia’s family was just too much, unbelievable. There was no love expressed ever, zero. Didn’t make sense that anyone would subject themselves to weekly dinners. Odd there was no direct confrontation to tell them how awful they had been & would apparently continue to be.

And Steph came around somewhat not because of any in-depth conversation with Rhia, but because of an encounter with a brother that we the readers weren’t privy to. What could he have said to such a thick-headed person to cause that great epiphany. How was that not a part of the book?
The first book made me immediately want to read the second. Loved the humor, but this one is not inspiring me to continue the series.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers)
By: Lee Kilraine
5 out of 5 stars

The story Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine is an amazing book that I loved reading. It hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story that is humorous at times and also romantic as well. I loved reading about the characters of Wyatt Thorne and Rhia Hollis. Wyatt is a man that likes order. He is focused on his goals in life and doesn’t have the time for a social life. He is not one looking to commit to anyone. Then he meets Rhia. Rhia Hollis has always felt like an outsider in her own family. She is outgoing and has a wonderful personality and character. She is determined to make her new business a success. With the Thornes’ offer of a free command center, she has found herself right in the path of Wyatt. These two seem to be as different as night and day. There, however, is a spark between them and they are constantly distracted by each other. Will opposites attract? There is electricity in the air when these two are together and a connection being formed between them. Will they find that they are meant for each other? Will their attraction/feelings for each other lead to something more between them? Read this book to find out. I loved how Wyatt and Rhia interact and banter back and forth. These two have a chemistry together that is off the charts. There is dirty talking and steamy scenes included in this story. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters you are introduced to in the book. I loved how family is important to Wyatt and how the bonds between him and his brothers is a strong one. This is a wonderfully written story and one that I would highly recommend reading.

Give and Take is the second book in the Thorne Brothers Series by Lee Kilraine. I have loved Ms. Kilraine’s Cates Brothers series, so when I saw this pop up in my feed I knew I had to read it too. Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone without missing part of the storyline. Although it has definitely quirked my curiosity about the other characters, so I will absolutely be going back to get books #1 and #3 too, so I can catch up with this series. I really enjoyed this sexy, well written and erotic, contemporary romance. It had a really great pace and was so quick and easy to read. I zipped through it in an afternoon. I have found that Ms. Kilraine has a talent for writing complex, quirky and endearing characters. She is a great storyteller who easily pulls her reader into the story.
Wyatt Thorne is the strong silent type, which is understandable considering his traumatic childhood and the fact that he didn’t speak for the first six years of his life. But he has his brothers, and together they have formed Six Brothers Construction. Wyatt puts his architectural skills to good use in the brother’s venture. He’s organised, and a bit of a control freak- so when his brother offers some of their office space to a struggling business he’s got no choice but to come to terms with the perky, free-spirited and quirky woman who comes with the arrangement- and she is set to drive him crazy- but will it be in bad, or good way?
Rhia Hollis has a lot to prove, not just to herself, but to her overachieving family. She has a reputation as a party girl, so she’s determined to make a success of her Event Planning Business. The new office space is just the boost she needs. But working in an environment with Wyatt will test perky attitude, because he seems to be quite resistant to her being there. These two are complete opposites, but we all know what they say about opposites attracting. What ensues makes for some great reading!
The ending was great, and Ms. Kilraine wrapped everything up brilliantly.
I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

Thank you, Ms. Kilraine!
