Kate & Leah Books in Order

The Kate and Leah books are a small, linked set of contemporary romances built around two close friends, Kate Edwards and Leah Griffin. Rather than following one couple from book to book, the series moves in parallel, giving each woman her own love story while keeping their friendship at the center of the page.

That friendship matters.

Taking Care of Business begins with work, travel, and the kind of charged, slightly unreal atmosphere that comes with conferences and hotel bars. Leah gets pulled toward Brandon Long, a conference services manager who is very good at taking care of people, while Kate is stuck sorting out her long-running secret relationship with Dix. The book balances two romances at once, and that double structure gives the series its rhythm.

No Reservations picks up those threads and pushes them into a more committed, more chaotic place. Holiday pressure, family expectations, and a Vegas escape all make the emotional stakes feel bigger. The fun of the series is watching both women deal with the gap between a hot fling and a real future. Hart keeps the tone sexy and playful, but she does not skip over the nerves that come with choosing someone for good.

These books are much smaller in scope than some of Hart’s darker, heavier novels. They are contemporary, relationship-focused, and easy to move through quickly. If you like dual romances, strong female friendship, and stories where two women get to be messy, smart, and funny at the same time, this is a good corner of her catalog to explore.

Read them in order, because the second book is built to pay off what the first one sets in motion.
