Review: Give a Little (The Thorne Brothers Book 3) by Lee Kilraine

Review of Give a Little (The Thorne Brothers Book 3) by Lee Kilraine



When Gray Thorne mistakes Tessa for the woman who ordered him a drink laced with a certain blue pill, she's a bit mortified, but also really amazed by her reaction to the hot Thorne brother. The brother they call Fifty Shades of Gray because of his uh, prowess. When she, her friend, and her grandma, Gigi, cook up a plan to get Gray to notice Tessa, will it net her the result she wants? Or will both hers and Gray's insecurities and demons get in the way of what could be something beautiful between them?

I wanted to like Give a Little as much as I liked Give and Take. Unfortunately, I just couldn't bring myself to embrace it the way I did Give and Take. Why? Several reasons, the main being neither Tessa nor Gray were that interesting and their connection was pretty weak. I didn't believe Gray even liked Tessa, for one, nor could I understand why he would have liked her in the beginning. Her attempts at getting his attention were laughable at best, and pitiful at worst. Her "inner voice" was annoying and obnoxious, thank God it wasn't really used that much. So when the two of them finally acted on the attraction they supposedly felt, I was let down a lot. They connected for a brief time, then they didn't see each other for weeks. The pace was really dragging at this point and I was highly tempted to DNF. I'm ultimately glad I didn't, though, because finally, by the end, I could see a glimmer of light in this otherwise fairly boring story. Once Tessa opened up about her accident, and Gray opened up about his childhood, I could finally see the worthiness of their characters. But before that I was bored with them, with their story. So the first 3/4 I'd definitely give a 2 star at the most. But the last quarter was really good and the pace picked up quite a bit, so I'd 4 star it. So I picked the rating in between these two. 3 stars is fair for a mostly boring story that redeemed itself at the end. I know this author can write a good story, though, and I liked the other brothers, so am looking forward to the next installment of this series.
