Kat Girl

Kat McDermott is in the middle of a career crisis—she has just lost her job to the boy’s club—when she first meets Liam Wolf in a bar. Their attraction is instant. After she leaves, Liam does her a life-changing favour that alters her future.

 Months later they are reunited on a building site. Liam is the property developer, but he knows more about cakes and coffee than he does about building. Kat is the heritage consultant—construction is in her blood. Sparks fly as their conflicting roles collide… but she owes him a favour and Kat is a woman who pays her debts.

Loud and opinionated, Liam is used to getting his own way, but underneath his gruff exterior, he is surprisingly generous and protective. As Liam’s affection for Kat grows, she finds it harder to keep him at arm’s length. Soon their professional relationship gets very personal.

When Liam decides it’s time to settle down, he sets his sights firmly on Kat. But twice divorced, she will never marry again. He knows she might break his heart, but it might be worth it.

This heartfelt romance about new beginnings and finding love in the most unlikely of places will leave you crying and laughing out loud.

"It's beautifully written, compelling, and truly delightful. I love to be surprised, and the ending did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance, or those looking to explore the genre." — Readers' Favorite Review ★★★★★

 “Kat Girl gives all the romantic scenes you could hope for from the genre—from sweet to steamy. Reach for Kat Girl if you’re looking for something hot to rev your power drill.” —The Independent Book Review

“I was so happy to get my hands on this book. I loved the previous book in this series and can report that Kat Girl is just as good! Lahey’s writing is so intimate, and she really showcases the vulnerability of her characters. You want to read her books when it is raining, if that makes sense.” — LibraryThing★★★★★

"A must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-written, emotionally resonant love story with characters who feel like old friends." — Readers' Favorite Review ★★★★★

 “A must read, second-chance romance with the perfect level of romantic sizzle. I adore (Kat). She feels like a real person with a complete personality and childhood. Liam was equally as interesting, equally as real, and full of personality . . . both these romantic leads were fully fleshed characters with their hopes, dreams, and past baggage.” —Reedsy★★★★★

“A deeply human story about the challenges of being a modern woman, the search for balance between professional and personal life, and the pains of the past and present. Sarah Lahey's believable, well-written characters, beautifully constructed plot, and fine humour all contribute to making the book a truly memorable experience.” —BookSprout★★★★★

"Richly emotional and inventive near-future SF drama . . . the novel pulses with ideas, humanity, and adventure." — BookLife Editor's Pick Review

Join Quinn as she embarks on another riveting adventure in a high-tech world where she discovers how consciousness in a cognitive machine can quickly go wrong. Where she wonders, did they put the off button? Unfortunately, time is not on her side.

Reviews

“Equal parts thought-provoking and riotously joyful, Time is Heartless is a book I’ll be thinking about for months—maybe even years. It’s genuinely, completely hilarious in the brilliant, sparkling, ridiculous way the future with all its boundless potential could be . . . some of the most intricately imagined worldbuilding I’ve ever read, and yet it feels completely accessible.” —Independent Book Review

 “The surprising, emotionally resonant third entry in Lahey’s near-future Heartless Series blends thoughtful, inventive science fiction with romance, family drama, and a heartwarming commitment to love . . .” — BookLife Editor’s Pick Review

 "Author Sarah Lahey has crafted an imaginative and compelling work. I was particularly impressed by the way the many levels of the novel worked together, and how much work the author pours into every moment of the worldbuilding, plot construction, and character development to make this possible.” — Readers' Favorite Five-Star Review ★★★★★

“Time is Heartless is a rare work of fiction that I would gladly gift and recommend with great confidence to both my parents, my best friend, and to my middle-aged neighbors. Even reading this book as a standalone—coming into this story without the relationships built in the two previous books—I felt a close and familial connection to these characters." —Independent Book Review

". . . a sparklingly original futuristic sci-fi tale set in a world that features cyborgs, AI meerkats (yes, meerkats), cutting edge tech, time travel, and exists in the midst of surging climate change. Despite the invigorating and expertly crafted worldbuilding, it's the characters and humanity of the novel that make it a true standout within the genre. Lahey infuses the story with practical and relatable concerns (such as Quinn seeking balance between career and raising a child), providing readers an emotional anchor to offset the fantastical circumstances." —BookLife Prize Critic's Report
