4.5 out of 5 stars 83 ratings

A rough childhood tore Beckett Thorne and his brothers apart. It took everything he had to track them down and establish Six Brothers Construction. Five of six brothers reunited and working to make their business a success.

Beckett Thorne… With one brother still to find, there is only one person standing in Beck’s way of fulfilling his promise to take care of his siblings… Samantha Devine, the hot new rival in town. The woman he’ll have to collaborate with on the biggest high-profile project SBC has ever taken on. Renovating the mansion for the hockey team’s new billionaire owner can make—or break—their company.

Too bad Sam and Beck are
enemies…after a night of being lovers.
She is definitely

Samantha Devine… With the biggest project of her career in her hands, there is only one person standing in Sam’s way of fulfilling her promise to prove she can succeed on her terms… Beckett Thorne, the far too cocky competition. The man she’ll have to work with on the most important job of her career—the one she needs to put her fledgling design company on the map.

Too bad Beck is her
sexual kryptonite…she’d fallen for him once before.
He is definitely
off limits now. She won’t trust so easily again.

Can Beck and Sam set aside their past, ignore flame of sexual tension growing higher and hotter, and get the job done? Or will Beck let go of control and Sam learn to trust in order to pull off the most important collaboration of a lifetime?

Give it Up is a hot enemies-to-lovers romance. You will laugh, cry, and fall head-over-heart for this band of sexy brothers and their fierce loving loyalty for each other.

Review

"This one was funny! Sam's inner monologue cracked me up! And watching Beckett slide into love by accident and then panic also gave me a satisfying chuckle. There are some really lovely sibling relationships in this one, and Lee Kilraine did a great job investing you in their struggles." ~Elizabeth, GR, 5 Stars"★★★★★!" ~Angela, GR, 5 Stars"Absolutely LOVED this book!!! Loved the chemistry between Beck and Sam even though they both tried to fight it. LOVED reading about all the other brothers; can't wait to read their stories!" ~Heather N, GR, 4 Stars "This was my first book by Lee Kilraine and I absolutely fell in love. Beckett is sizzling hot and comes with brothers who are just the same. I enjoyed the banter between Beckett and Sam. You could cut the sexual chemistry with a knife. I truly cannot wait for the rest of the series. I may have just found a new favourite author!" ~Margot, Reviewer, 5 Stars "A little steam, romance, family discord, combined with some rough aspects of growing up made this book a 5 star intriguing read." ~Tracy S, GR, 5 Stars "Beck and Samantha have met previously (that's all I'm saying) and now...go against each other... Let's just say WHOA!!! Here is where it gets good! These two characters were very easy to love and I greatly enjoyed them." ~Jessica, GR, 5 Stars "I'm looking forward to reading future books in The Thorne Brothers series." ~Beth, Reviewer, 5 Stars "I loved this book. Being an NC girl this book captivated me from the moment I saw it was my state. I felt a connection with Sam and the trials she faced. I was full of emotion.... I love that there will be a second story." ~Ruth, 5 Star"This is the first book I've read by, Lee Kilraine. I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read the next Thorne Brothers book. They are all very different, so their stories should be unique." ~Kim, Reviewer, 5 Stars

    The characters & storyline were surprisingly more substantive than I’d anticipated. I feel like I must read the series now.
    The author did a very good job of blending very funny moments with heartstring tugging (Sister MT) and angst. The ending was not so predictable which is refreshing nowadays.

    Forced to work together, Sam and Beck are enemies with a brief past. I love the chemistry between them; it's undeniable even as they try to fight it. It's my first read from the author, and a great introduction. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    GIVE IT UP is the first book in the Thorne Brothers series. I'm so glad I went back and read this one! I actually read book three, first. Then bought books one and two. This is a fun easy to read series with hot alpha men. Enjoy!

    Great characters, leaves you wanting more.Ending wraps up the loose ends as it reveals a hint of what's to come.

    I really liked Give It Up by new to me author Lee Kilraine. This is the first novel from her brand new series The Thorne Brothers, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. Together, the Thorne brothers own a turnkey construction business, and each book focuses on one of the six siblings. This story is about Beckett Thorne, the eldest brother and financial manager of the company. Beck also has amazing design skills. Due to shocking circumstances, the company's business loan has become due, so winning the project to design a sport team owner's mansion is a definite must.

    Samantha Devine and her best friend Margo are business partners. Their interior design firm is on the cusp of being well-known in the Raleigh area, after only two years of being in business. Sam left her father's very successful and nationally known construction company after years of her talent being overlooked because of her sex. Now she has the chance to truly shine, however, working with Beck will be a challenge, especially since they have a history together.

    This is quite an earnest read. Beck's back story tugged at my emotions, so I was especially happy that he and his brothers turned out to be successful and kind men. I loved Sam's independence, but disliked how and why she turned out to be so strong. Beck and Sam are two people that truly belong together, but needed some time to realize how much they compliment each other. Their sexy times are hot, both in and out of the bedroom. Overall, this is a well-written romance about two characters that I could not get enough of.

    Complimentary copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

    Beckett did not have an easy childhood and neither did Sam but sparks fly on a project they have to work on. When they let their walls down they find love.

    Loved the story line and characters. First time reading this author and I can not wait to read the next one
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018
    This is a good start to what I hope will be an amazing series. Beckett is the oldest of the Thorne Brothers. He takes being the oldest to heart. He loves his brothers and they are the only ones he trusts. He is very protective of them. He takes on the burden of decisions and problems. Their childhood was harsh and they were separated until he was old enough to get everyone together with the exception of one brother. The start SBC( Six Brothers Construction) and things are looking up. They are vying for a job that will put them ahead in the construction design industry. The only problem is there is another company also up for the contract. Samantha is on a mission to prove to her dad that she can succeed working in the industry. She thinks all men are chauvinist. When the eccentric owner of the project they are vying for makes them work together; things get interesting. They share a past that keeps them sweating in the heat. This was a sexy story of two people with trust issues falling in love in spite of and despite their egos and insecurities getting in the way. Their chemistry was hot. all the characters added to the story. the brothers and best friend will make interesting stories to come.
