If you’ve followed Kathryn Shay’s firefighters, then you’ll love the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author’s O’Neil books. TAKING THE HEAT will grab your attention because it takes place in the world of firefighting and firefighter romances.
“Shay writes an emotion-packed story that presents a realistic view of the romantic and social problems faced by female firefighters. With angst and some hot … some hot sex, this dramatic tale also has a nice touch of humor.” RT Book Reviews
Liam O’Neil, chef at Bailey’s Irish pub, simply wants to make it through the day. His son is depressed, his beloved wife died three years ago and he’s lonely! Enter, Sophie Tyler, a firefighter who lives on the edge and likes it that way. Clearly, she’s not Liam’s type. But when she begins work at the family pub, opposites attract and they’re drawn to each other. Then they fall in love. Still, nothing can erase the biting fear Liam—and his kids—feel about the danger Sophie is in every day. Eventually, an arsonist upsets the delicate balance of their relationship and they realize they can’t be together. Or can they?
Praise for TAKING THE HEAT:
“This is an enjoyable second chance at love romantic suspense thriller. The storyline is action-packed in terms of the arsonist subplot and filled with angst re the relationship between Liam and Sophie. Although TAKING THE HEAT stands alone, with the O’Neil family playing major roles, reading the previous tales enhances the experience. Once again Kathryn Shay pays homage to the brave firefighters.” Harriet Klausner
“TAKING THE HEAT is an emotional roller coaster ride that hits so many real life issues facing career women in today’s world. As each O’Neil book comes out, I find myself drawn more and more into their world. I’ll be waiting very impatiently for the last two brothers’ books.” Joyfully Reviewed
Also available: the O’Neil brothers’ stories in SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN, CLOSE TO YOU, HIGH STAKES and ALWAYS AND FOREVER, contemporary romances with hot heroes and the strong women who love them. Don’t miss these Irish romance series of novels.

Shay does not disappoint in this firefighter/Irish family novel. Romance and mystery kept my interest from beginning to end.
Love all of her books
Great read
I really enjoyed all the books in Kathryn Shay’s O’neils eries.
Shay has the ability to bring the reader into the story. You become invested in the characters and how they will deal with the happiness as well as the adversities in their life.
You almost feel the pain & happiness and at points you want to yell at the individuals in this boisterous family.
You feel the strength in numbers that comes out when the work together for one another.
I highly recomend any of Kathryn Shay’s books, but I especially enjoyed reading “The Oneils Series”
It is a very good storyline and it shows how to overcome you fears and loss
I just couldn’t get into this book. I was disappointed because I usually like herbooks.
Who doesn’t love Kathryn Shay? Her ability to create strong characters and provide insight into the lives of firefighters never fails to deliver a heart warming romance novel that is worthy of 5 stars!
This was an enjoyable book to read. It didn’t have a lot of depth to it though.
Male character was very disappointing. The only reason I kept reading was because I liked the female lead character.
Good read
I’m a sucker for second chance books and like the change up in roles in this book with him worried about her dangerous career. For some reason I’m also drawn to books about firefighters.
I just really enjoyed it.
