A sexy romance that celebrates the power of second chances<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Building is about the journey, the structure, and the life you want to create. Kat McDermott, the CEO of a thriving construction group, faces a pivotal moment when a biased internal restructuring forces her to choose between a position with no influence or striking out on her own. Her decision to find a new job leads her to Liam, a bartender who is more than he seems. As their paths intertwine, Kat\u2019s journey of self-discovery and love unfolds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liam and Kat have an immediate connection, but Kat is distant because of her past. She puts more effort into restoring the property instead of trying to form a relationship with Liam. But their chemistry is undeniable. Liam is all in, even talking to his cat about his feelings for Kat. Will Kat be able to deal with her baggage and trust issues to stay with Liam? Kat had better find out soon, because Liam isn\u2019t going to wait forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s a piece of art,\u201d he said.
\u201cThe art of repair.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kat Girl<\/em> gives all the romantic scenes you could hope for from the genre\u2014from sweet to steamy\u2014inviting us in on the action of a budding relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, it might be the focus on internal conflicts that attracted me the most. Kat\u2019s still reeling from three failed marriages and an unspeakable loss. She\u2019s trying to trust something good in her life while she\u2019s facing her grief and baggage from her past to get the future she\u2019s always wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The construction elements within the chapters are well-distributed, easy to digest, and never distracting from the story at hand. My favorite details have got to be the history and architecture of Australia, expertly woven in a sentence at a time to inform the reader. I\u2019ve read books where these facts take up entire pages, which can quickly become tedious, so I\u2019m glad Lahey structured this background information the way she did. The extra construction pages that precede each section are a nice touch that adds to the atmosphere, but after a while they can get tedious and feel like natural places to skip.<\/p>\n

On the Bridgerton<\/em> scale of steamy, this one is definitely season three\u2014except maybe a little steamier. Reach for Kat Girl<\/em> if you\u2019re looking for something hot to rev your power drill.<\/p>\n
