Publisher's summary

Patrick Walsh needs a win.

He needs a good year. He needs something to—finally—go his way. After their father's slow, angry death, the Walsh family's third-generation historic preservation architecture firm is back on its feet and Patrick finally stands at the helm.

Andy Asani is not what Patrick expected from an apprentice. First, she's competent. Not just that, she's scary-brilliant. Second, she's obsessed with historic preservation—and the only person outside of Patrick's partners who shares his passion for crumbling buildings. And most troubling of all, he's obsessed with her. He doesn't need her complicating his life but he wants her more than anything, and she might just cost him everything.

Andy Asani doesn't want to fantasize about her boss. She's not that girl and she doesn't want to turn into that girl. She's too busy kicking ass at her coveted apprenticeship and exploring the best Boston has to offer in hot yoga and cool nightlife. She's not going to throw any of that away because her boss won't stop rolling up his shirtsleeves and glowering at her.

Until she throws it all away. Their plans are about to undergo some major renovations.

Lucy Rivers is terrible. Completely ruined this story for me. She sounds like a robot.

Great Banter and chemistry

The Space Between is the second book about the Boston Walsh family and their architecture firm. I enjoyed the big family dynamics and love the glimpses of each family member's life that runs through these books.
The story focuses on Patrick the "OptimusPrime" of the Walsh family. He has been unable to keep an assistant or apprentice without running them off. Things change with Andy's interview where she is ready for everything he throws at her.

"I couldn’t help it; lame responses kept spewing out while my brain fixated on that voice. If aged whiskey had a sound, it would be Andy’s voice, all heady and rich, with a slow burn as it went down."

With immediate chemistry, fun banter and texts Andy tries to resist a forbidden romance with her boss and all of the messy complications that can and will entail.
I can't wait to dive into the next story and reconnect with my new favorite Boston family.

Two Pathetic Broken Souls

I found The Space Between very depressing, a tale of two pathetically broken people who had no capacity for love, empathy or kindness. Masquerading as a romance, the sexual violence was disturbing, promoting the misogynistic idea that hitting, biting and bruising a sexual partner is acceptable behavior.

Patrick Walsh came from an incredibly dysfunctional family where he and his siblings were emotionally and physically abused by their father. Instead of getting therapy, Patrick expressed his deep-seated anger by beating and degrading Andy (and probably all the bimbos who preceded her). I kept wondering how he would feel if some asshole was beating & abusing one of his sisters.

Andy, who lost her father at an early age, was smart and capable at the office but a pathetic wimp with Patrick. Andy stupidly became involved with Patrick (her new boss) who treated her with total contempt and thoughtless cruelty. It was depressing that Andy actually believed she deserved such brutal treatment.

Besides rough sex, there wasn't much of a plot or anything to hold my interest. Andy hated herself and Patrick hated everyone except his brothers & sisters. The author showed talent but copped out by writing 50 ways to abuse a lover rather than mature, entertaining and non-violent characters.

I couldn't finish this book; if I wanted to hear about senseless suffering I could watch the nightly news: rape, assault, torture, murder, stalkers.

Hmmm….

The performance was great, the story good but it felt incomplete, like the secret room why was it left like that, or that the 2 sister feud which I still don’t know why is their fight about and why did the end didn’t feel finished at least for me and yes I’m going to listen to the next book maybe it will give me some answers 😊

Another swoon

The second Walsh brother stealing my heart. It’s the brooding, uptight men that you need to watch out for.

Fantastic!

Kate does not hold back on this one…the passion, banter, and ultimate love is amazing. She can write characters that will have you going through so many emotions. Excellent addition to the series. Fantastic listen with amazing narration.

It was ok

Didn't particularly care for the female narrator. She sounded dry and robotic. Love Christian Fox. I may check out the next one.

All sex all the time

I just can’t. If they’re not thinking about sex they are having it. The whole book. I made it through chap 6 and just gave up. I need a good story with a few sex scenes. Not a sex scene with a short story.
