Er, Steph? Yes it does.

Put the freaking shirt on and shut it, sista!

Because spelling words correctly is her biggest priority right now. Don't make me slap you, never mind your victim, I mean, sister.

What guilt, Wyatt?

Haha, only men would eliminate an applicant based on the team they root for!

Does her family even like her?

Small world. Awkward.

Mr. OCD is about to have a coronary.

He's a softie.

Ever watch PBS, man?

Can she put the phone on vibrate, for Pete's sake?

I'd like to meet this Madigan lady.

A fake baby? That's your solution, buddy?

If he kisses her every time her family is mean, she might actually get pregnant by morning.

When did he first mention his sister, and when did he read her book?

It;s so fun when they are messing with those people Rhia calls family.

What kind of mother gives their daughter a trial-by-fire job?

Hope had the good mom.

That. Witch.

Finally someone in her family got their head out of their butt. Too bad Eli had to suffer for four hours, but still, yay!

Welcome, Hope! Bring aspirin.

Eli, come on! No one needs to do that much inventory.

A light, fast-paced read with very funny moments and very lovable characters, “Give and Take”, by Lee Kilraine, is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series and we can glimpse wonderful stories about these siblings’ lives.
Wyatt and Rhia are good for each other, such opposite personalities but both gentle and kind. Rhya is a great female character, extroverted, bubbly, talented and full of life. Her kindness and supportiveness of Wyatt is great to watch. Her only problem is that she sells herself short; and her family, which sometimes seems a caricature.
I found Wyatt less interesting than Rhia; I was expecting a quiet and reserved hero, and we are told about his muteness during childhood, but little of that remains. Still, he’s honorable and dependable; his tenderness and protectiveness of Rhia, the OCD tendencies and the bond with the kitten made him a great hero too.
I loved the strong bonds between the brothers and sister, their different personalities and interactions, how they look after and take care of each other.
I’m looking forward for the next stories, especially Ryker’s, the lost brother.

I just LOVED this continuation in the Thorne brother series. Wyatt is a character you can't help but love. Quiet, organized, kindhearted and outgoing. Rhia Hollis is someone that you'll want to covet and protect from the ways of her family. She just wants to be loved and accepted for who she really is. This book will have you on the edge of your seat, turning pages until you get to the very end! Wyatt and Rhia are a great fit and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the two of them.

Very good book! I did like the first book better but this one is good also! This is Wyatt and Rhiannon book, Wyatt is one of the six brothers, of six brothers construction. He's going to school to be an architect but deep down he really doesn't want to be one but he thinks that is what the company needs. Rhia runs a party planning company, and won an office space that the brothers where giving away. The space she was going to be in catches fire and she has to share a space with Wyatt. This is where the fun begins! These two together were so funny!! Wyatt with all his quirks and rhia is just plain quirky! It's definitely a funny , hot, heartbreak, sweet light read! I highly recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley and Kensington publishing Corp for sharing this book with me!

Within this one story you have humor, witty banter, wry dialog with a truly smart edge to it, I was thoroughly engrossed from page one. The author demonstrated just how well she excels at her craft with her ability to pull the reader into the lives of her characters. Bringing the story to life through the eyes of her characters transported me into story...the emotions were palpable, every movement portrayed so realistically. I have become a true fan of Ms Kilraine’s writing.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I received an arc from Netgalley. What a refreshing romance. Wyatt a quiet, shy man and Rhia the breath of fresh air that brings him out of his shell. Such a great and touching story.

4.5 stars

This was a very cute quick read, as the book continued I fell more in love with Rhia, Wyatt and all his brothers, they all had tough experiences but together they fight through to make a better life for themselves.
