lauracadcock's review against another edition

This second book was definitely better than the first, but still wasn't the hit that later Kate Canterbary books are for me. I would love a trope that isn't "love at first sight" in this series.
Andy is a new apprentice at the Walsh family's architecture firm. Her boss is Patrick and their attraction is instant. But the ethics of their being in a relationship falls into a gray category, so they decide to keep it on the down low. When their connection becomes something more lasting, can they make the transition from secret lovers to forever partners?
As I said, I liked this one way better than the first book in the series. Andy was a smart, capable character. I liked Patrick and his sense of responsibility. They seemed to be a good match. I liked the questions around their relationship and how it affected her career. I thought the end was well done as they both took the time to realize how they could make it all work. I'll continue on with this series but I might skip Sam's book. He hasn't left a huge mark on me so far and he ends up with 2 books? I'm confused.
Side note: I hate that Lauren is the matriarch figure of this family. She is one of my least favorite characters I've ever read and I wish she would just disappear into the background.

The characters are uncomfortable to be with at times, which makes them honest, which I enjoyed.
Hot steamy connection which also allowed an honesty between Andy and Patrick, while they worked out ways to be open emotionally with each other.
Great to touch base with the rest of the family including Lauren and Matt from the first book.

The Space Between: Moody and steamy is the mood for the second installation of the Walsh series. Patrick the oldest most put together Walsh falls for a much younger architect intern with an equally tragic past and professional drive. I feel like this series is extremely underrated, while there are always some communication issues with the hero & heroine, they are well written, steamy, mature and engaging. Their sexual tension alone is enough to get me recommending this book. I will advise that their sex is not of the sweet variety, much like the first book in the series they are a bit raunchy. My only qualm is that when heroines are rigid or closed off I like their reasoning and history to explain it a bit better. We know why Patrick is the way he is and I felt as though some of Andy's rigidity came from the need for the story to have conflict.

I wasn't crazy about the first book in the series but I thought the other sibling's books might be better...I was wrong. The plot is fairly similar to the first book, Andy and Patrick are attracted to one another, hook up then pull away just to repeat it over and over again. I like some push/pull in a book but this was too much and when I didn't particularly care for either main character it was hard to feel invested in their relationship.

Oh my. I won’t lie: I love that these characters are complex and intense. People are dimensional and multi faceted, where life and love isn’t always a smoothly paved road. Fortunately, Patrick and Andy found their way, together.
Side note: I love Andy. She’s one of my absolute favorite female main characters.

Overall a pretty decent book, but no one should be calling anyone kitten anytime ever under any circumstances.
