About the author
Welcome to Kate Hardy's author page! If you'd like to receive notifications of new books, please click the follow-me button above.
Kate is the award-winning author of more than 100 books for Harlequin Mills & Boon, and in 2023 she began the cosy crime Georgina Drake series for Storm Publishing.
For her romances, she’s won the RNA Shorter Fiction Award three times (formerly Liberta Books Shorter Fiction, the Romance Prize and the RoNA Rose): for ‘A Will, a Wish and a Wedding’ (2021), ‘Bound By a Baby’ (2014) and 'Breakfast at Giovanni's' (2008). She's been shortlisted six more times for the award, as well as for two Romantic Times awards. For the crime: there's no on-the-page gore (well... not much) so, if you like her romances, you'll definitely enjoy the Georgina Drake mysteries because it's basically the Kate Hardy you know plus more secondary characters and a body or two (!). If you're not a romance fan, you'll enjoy the characters and unravelling the puzzles.
Kate lives in Norwich in the east of England with her husband, two springer spaniels (Archie and Dexter, the Edit-paw-ial Assistants who are the precursor to Georgina's Drake's assistant Bert), and too many books to count. She's a bit of a nerd (cough, understatement) who loves music, cinema, the theatre, ballet, history, science, cross-stitch and messing about in the kitchen. She loves doing research, particularly if it's hands-on (and even more if it means sneaking in an extra visit to her two grown-up children, now they've graduated from uni and left home).
Reviewers say that her books are full of warmth, heart and charm - and also that you'll learn something new and interesting from them!
Kate has also written bestselling local history books under the name of Pamela Brooks.

Sam Taylor keeps himself closed off from everyone - his staff, his family, even the children under his care at the pediatric unit. So he's more than a little surprised when Jodie - fun-loving, adorable, interesting Jodie - tries to engage him in conversation. He finds Jodie irrisistable, but he knows that the only thing he can offer her is a short-term affair. Sam knows that he is infertile, and the bittersweet torture of spending all of his professional time around children doesn't compare to the tortue of knowing that he can't give Jodie what she'll eventually want - a baby. His first marriage broke up over his infertility, and he's convinced that he's completely unsuitable for marriage - especially to someone as wonderful as Jodie. So after a short affair, Sam is determined to cut himself out of Jodie's life - but Jodie isn't so ready to give up on him!
I really liked the premise of this story, but something just fell flat in this book. Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, and I really did enjoy it. I loved both Jodie and Sam, they were a perfect match for one another, and the fact that the romance was set in a pediatric ward was a definite plus to this nursing student :) I loved the cast of secondary characters, who were all sufficiently fleshed out, but not to the point of taking over the entire story, and even the foreign lingo didn't slow me down, although English is not my native language. I was never quite sure if this story was set in Australia or England, though.
Anyway, the part that somewhat annoyed me was the repetitive arguments between Sam and Jodie once they know they like each other. I mean, there is only so many ways to say, "Hey, you want a baby, I can't have a baby, let's not get together." The fact that Sam and Jodie didn't even seriously consider the alternatives to having a biological child - adoption, for a very big example - kind of rankled me. I just wanted to yank them each out of the story, give them a good shake, and say, "It's not the end of the world, you know! You can always adopt!"
That was really the only thing that bothered me, however. In short, this was a very interesting book, and a reversal on the "woman is infertile, man wants children" theme that I have read in several books. Pick this one up, even if you don't usually like medical romances, I'm sure that you'll like this one :)
