The Space Between is the second book in The Walshes’ series. Each book follows one of the five Walsh siblings. This is a group that even after two books, I have grown attached to and love reading about! All five of these siblings are so different, and together they are a riot! Book one was about Matt finding love with his sexy school teacher Lauren. This book follows the oldest son, Patrick.

Patrick needs an intern at the family’s architect firm. The only problem is he isn’t easy to please and no one is good enough to fill the spot. Till he meets a black haired beauty named Andy. She is able to answer anything thrown at her. She’s perfect for the job. But Patrick doesn’t want her there at first... for entirely different reasons that are not professional.

After Andy starts work there, it becomes apparent she has those same wants and desires as Patrick. You can feel the attraction building between them.

Although Andy isn’t shy with her feelings about Patrick, she is very hesitant about acting on them. And I don’t blame her. He is her boss. She gives a little, but always seems to be holding back. And Patrick notices. For the first time in his life, he wants more from a girl. He doesn’t want her to hold back. He wants everything from her.

Andy and Patrick have amazing chemistry. When they finally give in to their desires for each other, it’s explosive. Their relationship is complicated though. Even though they both have these feelings for each other, they feel the need to keep things on the sly for a while. At least until Andy is no longer an intern.

I love Patrick and Andy together. Love! Patrick was the serious brother in the first book, but he was something else all together once you got to know him and be in his head.

After reading book one in this series, Patrick was probably the brother I was least interested in reading about. Boy was I wrong. Patrick was just they type of guy I love. Broody, grumpy, sexy, damaged and domineering. He was a great hero! And Andy is awesome. She was a fantastic heroine. I loved how she didn’t put up with his attitude when he was throwing it at her at the beginning. She’s driven and dedicated, yet also carefree and fun.

The only real reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is that I felt the ending was a little rushed. I get that there isn’t much of an epilogue, I know that we will see much more of Andy and Patrick in the other Walsh siblings books, I just wanted more of them together out in the open after they got it all together.

This is a wonderful series. Sweet, fun, lighthearted, sexy with just enough damaged characters and drama to keep it from being too fluffy. I’ve come to adore these Walsh siblings! I can’t wait for Sam, Shannon and Riley’s books! I don’t even care who’s next because I’m excited to read about them all!

The Walsh siblings are an interesting group of people and the characters they fall in love with make them more so. ( )

This is my favorite Walsh Family series book. Kate Canterbary stuns this reader with the originality and engrossing storytelling that had me reading chapter after chapter with the inability to put it down until 'The End'.

Seriously? You thought I was kidding with my disclaimer on book one? We are at book two which is now my favorite.

Andy and Patrick...where do I start. I fall desperately in love with any female lead that is driven, not a doormat in a male dominated field. When writers can bring to the page the reality without losing it to dramatics - win for me. And then Patrick. He is just one of those infuriating heroes you want to either kick in the balls or kiss his lips off. Between the angst of 'will they both give in', you've got humor and sexiness that just steams off the page. The dynamic of the push/pull that Ms. Canterbary delivers is in perfect tempo. Not too much push you off to give up and not too much pull to leave you drained. In addition we begin to get more and more dynamic of the other siblings that is going to lead to a perfect family saga series.

Foot down: You will read book one and you will read in order. Huge, HUGE mistake if you jump on books. Although others will say it can be read as a standalone, you aren't going to walk away from the series. Kate Cantenbary is giving us more depth and insight so I stand firm on recommending as a whole read.

If you aren't familiar with Kate Cantenbary's writing, she has become one of my top five storytellers that I connect with. I insist on book one, but if you ignore me, you'll fall in love with her writing and just go back anyhow. So just trust me. If you've read book one, book two now builds on that Walsh Family world with more emotions for an engrossing and entertaining read. 5 out of 5 stars. ( )

To be fair to this review, I have to admit that I just powered through all the books in this series that have been released to date, so trying to tease out my thoughts about them individually will be challenging. However, I think it's fair to saw that I liked them!

Also, all of these books take place through overlapping sequences of time and events, so you get to see some of them through multiple points of view. This makes it especially rich and interesting, but does mean that they will lose something as stand alones. I highly suggest reading them in order.

The contrast between the couples in Underneath It All and this one shows one of the strengths of this series. They are very definitely their own people, with wildly varying relationships and goals, but they manage to keep together as a family too. And once again, hot sex. This series does not disappoint in that aspect. ( )

I love this family. They are so emotionally damaged but they are keeping their sh*t together and making a success of their family run architectural business. Patrick is the one that holds it all together until he meets Andy, his new intern. She puts him in a place he isn't familiar with and makes him see that there might actually be more to life than working. Andy has been working her entire college life to get this internship and learn everything she possibly can from Patrick Walsh. What she learns far exceeds her expectations. But can the two make it work outside of the office? I really liked this couple and think they were pretty perfect for each other. Recommend for anyone wanting a book with the two MCs burning up the pages, but also have an incredible relationship.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. ( )
