This was such a sweet love story. Wyatt and Rhia work really well together. They bring out the best in each other. I loved the relationship between the Thorne brothers. They have never ending support for each other, but will good naturedly tease each other. Lee Kilraine did a great job at developing these characters and pulling you into their story. This is the second story in this series. I did not read the first story, but I will have to fix that very soon and I cannot wait to see what happens next for these brothers.

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is the second book in her Thorne Brothers series. I had not read the first book when I started reading this one and I think it was pretty ok to read it as a standalone though I did go and get the first book after finishing Wyatt and Rhia’s story and I noted down in my Google calendar when the third book is supposed to be released. Give and Take is the story of Wyatt Thorne, the youngest of the six brothers, and Rhia Hollis, the only one in her family who does not have close-to-genius-level IQ and doesn’t have even the slightest desire to work in ‘respectable and steady’ fields. Wyatt is quiet (he did not speak for six years after his mother left him and his five brothers with their monster father) and control freak! Rhia is perky, colourful and flighty (at least that is what his family thinks). I absolutely loved how the writer gives us an amazing story where you both laugh until you snort and cry your heart out, where you feel deep and step light … the way she reminds us that there are monsters out there and that still, you can come out on the other side (though a bit damaged but still alive and kicking), and that sometimes on the surface one seems to have a perfect family but because you do not fit in, you get bullied and humiliated and you need to pull together everything you have and also come out on the other side! Thank you for a great story and I am looking forward to the other brothers’ stories with abated breath!

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine. This is the second book about 6 Brothers Construction developed to reunite a family. Wyatt Thorne is one of the brothers. He has overcome a traumatic past, he didn’t even speak til he was 6 because his mother abandoned him. Rhia Hollis is known as the reckless party girl but she’s trying really hard to change that image. Her new business is going to help change that image. She is opening a Premier Party Planning business and when Beckett, Wyatt’s brother offers her unused office space for free she is so excited. Will Wyatt burst her bubble because she is just the type of girl Wyatt despises. Once they meet fireworks soar in more ways than one. This is a funny, which I love, emotional and sexy read.

Give and Take is the 2nd part of the Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. It is the first book I have read by the author, but I plan to read more. I did not go in order, and didn’t read book 1, Give it Up, yet. But I still really enjoyed this book, the characters were great. Their chemistry was entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down. It has a good balance of evolving story and romance. The story is based around Rhia Hollins and Wyatt Throne. Rhia is developing her new party planning business, and trying to finally make her parents proud. She has won a year of free office space from Six Brothers Construction. However, unforeseen circumstances, has her sharing an office with the youngest Thorne brother, Wyatt. He is studying to pass his architect exams, so he can start working in the family business, and is all work and no play. They could not be more opposite in personalities, but you know what they say, opposites attract.

Give and Take ( The Thorne Brothers Book 2 ) By Lee Kilraine ⅘ Stars
This is a great and enjoyable second book in The Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine.( It can also be read as a stand-alone. ) This story takes us on Wyatt Thorne’s and Rhia Hollis’ journey. Wyatt is the youngest of the Thorne brothers. He and his siblings own a popular construction business. Wyatt is the architect for the business and does beautiful carpentry. He is hardworking , quiet, reserved and yet so handsome. Rhia is the black sheep of the family. Majority of her family members are either doctors or scientists. She needs help to get her small up and coming business running. And the Thorne brothers’ “pay it forward” deal…It’s a perfect opportunity , rent free space for an entire year. Sometimes opposites do attract… this book is proof of that!! It has humor and romance mixed into one. It’s well written with entertaining characters ! Once you start reading , you will not be able to put it down! I can’t wait to see where the third books takes us!!

I absolutely loved this book. While being book 2, I didn’t feel as though I missed anything by not reading book 1 but I will be going back to read it because I want all the stories! Wyatt is the youngest boy in a family of 6 brothers. They havent had an easy life and Wyatt feels he owes his brothers for everything. When they offer free office space to Rhia for a year, unforseen circumstances put her in Wyatts office to share. Rhia is the bubbly outgoing child in a family of doctors. She’s the black sheep and it weighs hard on her. As their time sharing a space continues they set up rules , but even the best rules are made.to be broken sometimes right? @lyndseyfairley

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers Book 2) By Lee Kilraine I loved this book!! This story is sweet, romantic, funny, and heartwarming. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book. The brothers have such a strong bond between them because of the way they grew up. I enjoyed reading about their relationship and then came Rhia Hollis into their lives. She is trying to start her own event planning business, and the brothers, who have their own construction business, have decided to pay it forward and offer free rent for a year for an office space that they have. Rhia ends up the recipient of this great prize but things don’t quite go as planned and she ends up having to share an office with one of the brothers, Wyatt, who is completely opposite of her. He likes order and quiet and she is the complete opposite of that. You know what they say, opposites attract!! Their chemistry is off the charts and very distracting for both of them. I found myself rooting for these two. To find out more about what happens you must read this story. It is a well written wonderful story. I became invested in these characters and couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait to read more of what this author has to offer!! I highly recommend

5 Stars
This is my 3rd book by this author and I knew as soon as I saw it I had to have it. Not sure what it is about the writing style in this authors books but I get hooked on page 1 every time and don’t want to put it down and don’t ever want them to end. This one was the same. I just loved it and I knew that in the first few pages when I was laughing so hard I had tears during the interaction between Rhia and her sister that this book was yet another winner.
Rhia was simply awesome, I loved everything about her except that she just never felt quite good enough for her family, of course her family was a little strange in my opinion, and then there was Wyatt…I fell in love with him immediately and my heart broke for him and his brothers stories. I love opposite attracts stories and this one was completely spot on in my opinion and I also loved the other stories going on on the family side of things.
This was just an all around fantastic book, and I already have this author on my one click list and still have many of her books I need to read and I will do that as soon as I can.

Give & Take by Lee Kilraine was definitely a 5 star read for me. I have never read anything by this author but, I was hooked from the very beginning.
Rhia Hollis is flighty, impulsive and outspoken but, she’s awesome. I loved her character. Six Brothers Construction is offering free office space to one lucky person starting their new business. Rhia is the lucky winner of that generous offer. She is to have an office within their building for one year rent free!
The morning Rhia shows up thinking she has her own office she is given space inside Wyatt’s office. His seems to be the largest and all the meetings are done there so what’s the big deal if Rhia is given a desk In the corner??? Well Wyatt is very controlled…likes quiet, and is studying to become an architect. Slowly but surly Rhia and Wyatt end up becoming friends.
Rhia has a large family but she has never been good enough for her parents. She was a teacher for a bit and has now become a party planner. No one in her family stands behind her. Wyatt is the youngest brother who had a real crappy life growing up and feels like he owes everything to his older brothers.
Wyatt doesn’t understand how family can talk down to their own daughter as much as Rhia’s family does. He’s sick of all the calls coming in that Rhia ignores because she knows it’s her family, he’s sick of the strange men showing up at the office with hopes going on a date with Rhia. Wyatt agrees to pose as Rhia’s new boyfriend. Can Wyatt and Rhia actually help each other in the long run? Can something that starts out as a major annoyance actually turn into something great? I really enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more on the brothers from SBC

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers Book 2) By Lee Kilraine 5 Stars
Lee Kilraine knocks it out of the park with this fab book! Give and Take is an opposites attract book. From her witty one-liners to the steamy romance. This book delivers it all!
Wyatt Thorne is the quiet brother. With his mother’s abandonment, Wyatt was severely traumatized and it took a lot for him to get back on track. He loves his job and the quiet rhythm it provides to steady his life. But a helping hand his brother delivers to Rhia shakes up his world more than he is comfortable with.
Rhia has a reputation for being reckless. And yes, when she was younger that was true. But she has grown up and now wants to prove that she has put that recklessness in her past. A helping hand from one of the owners of Six Brothers Construction is just what she needs to get her new business off the ground. But opposition in the form of Wyatt Thorne is not making it easy. His annoying ways make her want to do reckless things. Can Wyatt learn to appreciate the quirks and outspokenness of Rhia and see what she is hiding inside? Can Rhia get past Wyatt’s gruff exterior and help heal his wounds and show him that a little recklessness can be good for the soul?
I really enjoyed reading this book. The chemistry between the main characters was awesome. The witty banter and one-liners made for great reading. The sub-characters were also enjoyable and fun to get to know in this book. Ms. Kilraine gives us complex and well-rounded characters that make them easy to love. The book had a good pace and was very quick and easy to read. Although this is book 2 in this series, it can be read as a stand-alone. But with such wonderful characters, I will definitely be buying books 1 & 3! Highly enjoyable. I recommend everyone pick this up and add Ms. Kilraine to your favorite author’s list!

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is book two of the Thorne Brothers Series. This book can be read as a standalone, which I did, but I get the impression you get more background on some of the other characters I’m book one so I suggest reading book one first.
Rhia isn’t like the rest of her family and she’s well aware of that. All she wants to do is prove to them she can be successful even if she doesn’t follow their chosen career path. For that reason, she is determined to make her business thrive. Step one is free office space which is how she meets the Thorne brothers and most notably Wyatt. Wyatt is quiet and is quite particular about things around the office. When he meets Rhia, she is the exact opposite of him and it truly grates on his nerves. Soon however, he realizes he quite enjoys her outspoken, colorful personality. Will Wyatt be able to step outside his perfectly constructed box and let Rhia into his life or will he keep everything tidy and Rhia at arms length?
I truly enjoyed this book. I was pleasantly surprised with the fun banter and I even got a good laugh a couple of times. Rhia knows who she is and for the most part, she’s not afraid to embrace that. Her family isn’t always in her corner and that was so frustrating to witness but she pulls herself back up and takes care of business. Wyatt had a bit of growth throughout the book as well. At times his growth was subtle but it was still nice to witness him making some changes even if he didn’t realize it at the time. I love how close the Thorne brothers are in the book. The relationships were so fun to read. I’m definitely going to read book one and see what I missed!

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down once I started reading. I love the characters Wyatt,and Rhia.Wyatt likes things to be in order and is very determined to stay focused on his job and doesn’t really have much time for a social life.Rhia feels like she doesn’t belong like she’s a outsider ,She is determined to make her buisness a success .These two have chemistry but are completely the opposite of each other. Can opposites attract?Can they make a relationship work?To find out the answers to these questions I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the next boom.

Give and Take is the 2nd book in The Thorne Brothers Series by Lee Kilraine. There are 6 Thorne brothers and I’m sure that each will have their own book. Although the series revolves around the 6 brothers and their construction company Six Brothers Construction, each book can be read as a stand-alone. I hadn’t read the first book and did not feel that this hampered my enjoyment or understanding of this book. The six brothers had an awful childhood and spent most of it split up and living with foster parent. They set up their company as a way of them all being together. In Give and Take we have the story of youngest brother Wyatt. Wyatt feels that he owes his brothers so much as, being the youngest, he was shielded from much of the horrific life they lead. He is training to become an architect as this would save their company a lot of money and he feels that this is his way of paying his brothers back. When the brothers decide to help out a new company by giving them office space, we are introduced to Rhia Hollis. Rhia is everything that Wyatt is not. She’s loud, full of fun and a total scatter brain. It’s a match made in hell. She’s the family black sheep in a family full of scientists and she’s trying to prove to her family that she can be a successful business woman. I loved reading Rhia and Wyatt’s story. Their interactions when they have to share an office are hysterical. They could not be any more different if they tried. I also loved the interactions of Wyatt’s brothers. The way that they do everything to get a rise out of him is so endearing. I was gripped to this story right from the very beginning. I adore the characters in this book and really want to read the rest of this series to see what the author has in store for the rest of the brothers.

Give and Take is the second book in Lee Kilraine’s Thorne Brothers series and my first experience with both the series and Lee Kilraine’s writing. Despite being the second book in the series I didn’t find it difficult to follow the storyline at all having not read book one. Give and Take was a really strong read for me, I felt that both the main characters were fantastic with the kind of substance that really makes you want what is best for them, you feel invested. Coming from a close knit family that has always been supportive Rhia’s family infuriated me and I really felt an emotional connection to her character, if that isn’t a sign of strong writing I don’t know what is. I loved the character development throughout the storyline and most of all the sincere relationship between Wyatt and Rhia. Both characters are very similar and at their core want what is best for each other, it was nice to read a story with chemistry, wit and emotion while being completely realistic. I really enjoyed Give And Take and will be going back to read the first Thorne Brothers book in the near future.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers) by Lee Kilraine had me hook, line and sinker. The story is well paced, flowed easily and packed a punch. Emotions run high in this book and at times I wanted to cry and others I was laughing out loud. The characters mad me love them all and just cracked me up. This story shows that families come in all shapes and sizes and even broken ones can be more than “whole” ones. The hurt and suffering and vulnerabilities that each and every one of this family of Brothers endured, are both heart aching and heart wrenching but together they are whole, well as much as they can be, as long as they have each other. I loved the bonds between them and their different, yet winning personalities and their playful and heart warming crazy banter. When opposites attract, coming together makes sparks fly and hearts fill. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

Give and Take is the perfect title for this book by Lee Kilraine. Every person who likes color in their life needs some beige to balance them out and the same can be said for a person who likes too much beige. We all know what happens when you put two people who are like night/day in a small space together; they banter like children and you could cut the sexual tension with a knife. And that was Wyatt Thorne and Rhia Hollis. I really like both of these characters, but the first two times they meet were awesome. I loved how Rhia would add touches to Wyatt’s office just for color. Wyatt’s brothers were always good for some extra comic relief too. Even behind all the drama you still get the hint of family togetherness and the bond between these brothers. I will defiantly be going back and reading the first book to find out how they learned about the sister and really looking forward to continuing this series – I need more Thorne brothers!

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is the second book in the The Thorne Brothers series and follows the relationship of the youngest Thorne brother Wyatt and the colourful Rhia.
Wyatt is a quiet, orderly man, so when his work space is invaded by a young women who has been given a chance to have an office rent free for a year within the offices of the brothers construction company, the only problem is the office is in use and she will have to share with the quiet, serious brother.
Rhia has been always been the black sheep of her family, she has tried all sorts of jobs but now has started her own business as a event planner. She applied for the grant from the Thorne brothers to be able to have office space rent free for a year which would be a great help to her as she is short on funds at the moment but did not expect to be sharing an office with the bland, serious brother Wyatt.
As the story goes on you get to see the dynamic between Rhia and Wyatt grows throughout the story and it becomes a great chemistry. I loved the character of Wyatt as a main role, he was not a alpha male but a sensitive soul with a big heart and a loyalty to who he loves and respects. I loved the slightly scatty character of Rhia, especially as she had a poor relationship with her family and that Wyatt saves her in the end. The story was great and this story can be read as a stand alone, but as this is the first story I have read by this author I would love to read the first book relating to Beck and Sam’s story. I would also love to read the other books in the other series Lee has written also.

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series. I had not read the first book but was easily able to follow the story. This book focuses on Wyatt and Rhia. The two are polar opposites. Wyatt is quiet and very meticulous with everything in his life. Rhia is outspoken and a free spirit. The two personalities crash together but will they mesh? This is a fun read with no unexpected craziness. This was a welcome distraction from my daily life and gave me a little smile. I will be catching more from this writer in the future. Everyone can use a good, happy story from time to time.

“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 eve a rock-solid foundations…”
This was my first time reading anything from Lee Kilraine. Now this is the second book in a series, The Thorne Brothers to be exact, but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this one that I had not read the first. I will be going back to do so now that I know about it and have enjoyed this one so much. There was a wonderful flow to the writing banter that went back and forth between our two main characters that I just couldn’t get enough of. I hope to find more of that in future couples to come as well.
In this novel we get the story of Wyatt Thorne. He hasn’t had things so easy. In fact he had an extremely traumatic childhood. This led him to live a speechless few years until he was about six. From that age he found the peace he needed in creativity. In creating things with his hands. The solitude it provided him allowed him to come out of his shell just enough to blend into the world, and start a successful business.
“Fun? Thank you, Wyatt? No. I didn’t sign up for this. It was bad enough we had to use my office for meetings, but this- this sharing an office with a talking rainbow… no.”
Wyatt’s complex but in place life is blown upside down when Rhia Hollis sweeps into it. Fate and his older brother Beckett has decided to put her in his path and he has to figure out exactly what he is going to do now. She is the complete opposite of him; loud and boisterous, and worst of all she never stops talking! The one thing they do have in common is their creativity. Rhia is a party planner and starting up her party planning business.
“Seize the day.”
So if these two are such opposites and forced to work in such close spaces for so much of their time what will happen? You do know what they say about opposites attract? For all those juicy details and more you will have to pick up this little gem for yourself and read for yourself…
“Then since you know more about me than I apparently know about myself… tell me, Rhia, what does feed my soul if not architecture?”

GIVE AND TAKE is Book 2 in the Thorne Brothers Series and I think it would be helpful to read book 1 just to understand the amazing dynamic that takes place in this family. If you don’t have time – that’s ok because you will still enjoy this one.
The author does such a fantastic job of giving each character individual traits while keeping the main thread of relationship going along. This series is building off each siblings experience growing up and how they now contribute to the family and world around them.
I think the author handles what could be sensitive subjects with a grace that allows the reader to stay immersed in the story and feel the feelings but not want to throw the Kindle out the window (or perhaps that’s just MY experience). This book is full of humor (omg the first scene had me chuckling so hard) and heart and romance and sweetness and just over all goodness.
I originally rated this book as a 4 and then as I started writing the review, I thought I WOULD gift this book to a friend or buy it for myself at a signing so I’ve changed it to a 5.
I absolutely recommend this author, this series and this story.

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine a four-star read you will want to take away with you. This was a great story and I plan on going back to read the first story in The Thorne Brothers series before moving on to the next chapter as this was great. Rhia was a brilliant character, she was the perfect compliment to Wyatt and his crazy hotness/urrggness. There was a great easiness to the story and a flow to the words that made it an easy read, I felt a little light depth may have mad the overall story a little better, but I have high hopes that once I go back and read the rest it will get better and better.

Give & Take is Book 2 in The Thorne Brothers series from author Lee Kilraine. These books are a part of a series but each one can be read and thoroughly enjoyed as a stand-alone. This author doesn’t disappoint with her incredible storylines and captivating characters. I cannot wait to see what other great stories I can read from this author, and what else she will bring to this series.
This book was amazing. It had everything you needed to make this an amazing read that I was unable to put down and had me hooked from the first page. The two characters Wyatt & Rhia in this book were captivating to read and loved everything about them. They both are independent, determined characters that both have some issues impacting their future. You can’t help but root for them and hope they get a HEA.
Wyatt & Rhia have an undeniable connection from the get-go. Both of them have a way of getting into a deeper part of the other, Rhia had a way of getting under Wyatt’s skin, yet it impacted his life in a way neither of them knew, and Wyatt had a way of impacting Rhia’s life in a way she always hoped she would get from her family. They have a brilliant banter that you can’t help but have a continuous grin on your face. This book has made me smile, laugh and even let a few tears slip, but it made this book even more brilliant, captivating.
Rhia & Wyatt brought out the best in each other, and I loved seeing Wyatt’s walls break down and go from the quiet and brooding to quiet and brooding and excepting all the things that drive him mad about Rhia and actually having fun, relaxing and being himself. Rhia was the complete opposite to Wyatt in so many ways yet that made them the perfect match! To see the support and encouragement he gave her when others didn’t, really made Rhia understand and realise she should believe, and pursue what she really wanted.
I loved the secondary characters in this book and can’t wait to read how their stories unfold – picking one of the Thorne brothers to be my favourite would just be cruel, but I loved their relationship with Wyatt and even how they immediately welcome Rhia.
This is a brilliant read that should not be missed! I highly recommend this book – I cannot wait for book 3 in this series to see who’s story we get to follow and hope this isn’t the last we read of Wyatt’s & Rhia’s story.

Give and Take is a contemporary romance novel and the second instalment in The Thorne Brothers series. This story follows baby brother, Wyatt, and his involvement in the brother’s construction company. I love a series I can really sink my teeth into, and with a whole family of brother to get to know, this series has me super excited. Much like the first instalment (which I strongly recommend you read!), Give and Take is a beautifully romantic read that had me hooked from the very beginning. As we approach the end of the 2018, I can safely say that Wyatt and Rhia are in the running for one of my favourite couples of the year!
Wyatt Thorne is not your stereotypical romantic ‘hero’. He has very visible flaws, some of which most people would find incredibly annoying. He’s particular, meticulous and rigid to his routine. He’s obsessed with his work and quiet to the point of painfully so at times. So why did I feel such a draw to him? Wyatt had my attention almost immediately and I think I finally understand the appeal of the ‘strong and silent’ type. He is the perfect mix of driven, cute and a little frustrating and I just love him, perhaps even more than I loved his brother in Give it Up. But Wyatt isn’t the only love interest in this book. Rhia is his complete opposite and so perfect for him. She had me laughing out loud with some of her crazy antics, including her brief employment as a clown, and the relationship between her and Wyatt was so entertaining to read. I loved their back-and-forth banter and the sudden moments of passion and steaminess; they complimented each other beautifully. They are one of those couples that you just connect with and I have been left wanting to know more about them!
As with the first book, Give and Take explores some difficult issues. The Thorne brothers have been through a lot and their childhood is truly devastating. Seeing their shared past through Wyatt’s eyes was interesting, as he had been so young when everything happened to them. His brothers made it their job to protect him, and so we find Wyatt feeling a tremendous amount of guilt towards everything they have sacrificed for him. I love the strong family bond they have and it just has me more excited to find out more about each of the brothers.
Give and Take is a fantastic instalment in what is shaping up to be a fantastic series. The character development is exceptional and the plotlines are addictive. I have the next instalment on pre-order and am anxiously waiting its arrival. If you aren’t already convinced, I recommend you jump into this series immediately!

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine was my first experience by this author, and I have to say that I was very surprised by the character development, as well as the storyline.
We get to meet quiet yet strong Wyatt Thorne, one of The Thone Brothers, and let’s just say that the reader can’t help but fall for him. There is also Rhia Hollis, a business owner that will know how to push Wyatt’s buttons. I was sucked into the storyline immediately, and felt like I was enjoying all that the characters were doing. I absolutely loved their journey. I can’t wait to read more by this author and experience her world building. I consider this to be 4 Star Book.

Give & Take is book two in The Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. My first read by this author. It’s just the beginning of something beautiful. I was impressed beyond my wildest dreams. Elation at finding yet another epically talented author was an emotion that I became very familiar with. I don’t know where they get all this talent. My talent can fit into my pinky nail. I am forever thankful for the time, effort and heart that goes into these stories. I just can’t get enough of them.
Now about this mind blowing cast of colourful characters the endlessly entertain with this hilarious antics, amusing idiosyncrasies, and never ending awkwardness, attractiveness and sensuality. I was constantly laughing, but this story was so much deeper than what I could ever have imagined from the beginning, and gave me so much more than I could have possibly dreamed of. Wyatt was a deep and tender hearted man that shouldered doubt and insecurities. His family was his support and Rhia the very one he never knew he needed. Rhia had her own set of troubles, but was so seriously entertaining, I could read about her for years. On paper, they were polar opposites. In reality, there could not be a more perfectly imperfect couple. Give & Take was pleasure personified, and The Thorne Brother series is a must have addition to my library. 5 stars.

Give and Take was a very funny love story! I mean, there were some laugh out loud moments in there. Wyatt is a pleasant surprise- with how stuffy and quiet he seems in the beginning, I loved seeing other sides to him. He definitely is thoughtful, has a sense of humor, and cares very deeply. Rhia is a girl who has no idea how cool and fun she is, or how those are positives. My heart breaks for her, but also there’s a strength in her for having put up with criticism for so long and still being her quirky, adorable self. This is book two in a series, but I was able to read it as a stand alone. However, now I really want to read ALL the others. I hope every sibling gets a book!

Give and Take is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series by Lee Kilraine. This is the first book I’ve read in this series, and I had no trouble jumping right in. It can be read as a standalone. I have read a few of Ms. Kilraine’s other books but I think this one is my new favorite of hers. I’m definitely going back and reading Give It Up. This book had me hooked from the very first page, I love the witty dialogue and the chat are true to life and likable most of the time. Wyatt Thorne is the strong silent type and Rhia Hollis has a bit of a party girl reputation. When these two meet, the sparks start flying. Their chemistry is off the charts, and if they can control the urge to kill each other and start trusting, they could have a beautiful thing. I liked the fast pace of this story and the way the book had me chuckling out loud. That is what make a great book for me, when it brings your emotions out, be it laughing or crying. I highly recommend this light hearted romance and look forward to reading more in the future.

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series and I love it. Rhia made me laugh and feel bad for her at the same time but there was just something about her that made me fall in love with her.
Wyatt is the quiet, brooding smart guy. He enjoys quiet and order and that is the last thing he gets once he meets Rhia.
I understood Rhia’s feeling of not fitting in with her family, like a black sheep though it’s not her fault. I wanted to scream and shake them all to try and get them to see what an amazing woman she is
I have not read anything by this author before which I regret. I will be keeping up with this series and other book by Lee Kilraine.

Lee Kilraine’s Give and Take is the second installment of the Thorne Brothers series. Each of the books within this series features one of the Thorne brothers; Give and Take is Wyatt’s story. I liked Wyatt’s character from the beginning. He may be a little OCD, but he definitely gives everything his all and then some. When it comes to his family, nothing comes before that. Let’s add Rhia to the story and this book enters a whole new playing field. The attraction is evident, the personalities conflict and it’s about to get truly hot and steamy just around the corner. I loved the secondary characters, they added a lot of laughs and what the heck moments in the story making it fun to read. Lee Kilraine is a gifted author that can create a work of art that is hilarious, but serious at the same time.
