To Katie With Love The Katie Chronicles Book 1 eBook Erica Lucke Dean

"... one of the sweetest, sexiest, and funniest books I've read this year." Bibliophile's Corner
"... a fun read, start to finish." Random Musings of a Curious Mind
Banker Katie James has a serious thing for romance novels. She’d almost rather settle for a fictional boyfriend than risk her heart on a flesh-and-blood man. Besides, the only real guy she’s remotely interested in is her rich, unattainable client, the mysterious Cooper Maxwell.
Looking less like the ultra-conservative man she knows and more like a drop-dead sexy character from one of her books, Cooper crashes Katie’s 29th birthday party. But one too many drinks lands Katie in uncharted territory… Cooper’s bedroom!
Drunk on love, Katie dives headfirst into the relationship only to discover that Cooper is keeping secrets… dangerous ones. As if things couldn’t get worse, her meddling mother makes a surprise visit, digging up a whole new set of problems.
Who would have guessed having an assassin for a boyfriend would be the least of her worries?
To Katie With Love The Katie Chronicles Book 1 eBook Erica Lucke Dean
Whoop! I absolutely loved this book! Katie and Cooper together are so fantastic. I love the mystery behind Cooper. His "run-in" with Katie at the bar was done so well and I instantly fell in love with them. Their chemistry and banter with one another just kept a smile on my face the whole way through this story. Katie's obsession with the romance novel series was so endearing. Although it is not really too hard to figure out what Cooper's real job is I adored the way the story played out and lengths that Katie went to try and get to the bottom of some of Cooper's "strange" activities. The scene at the end in the vault broke my heart and was so well written I actually went back and re-read it again. I almost flipped my lid at the very end and was worried that we were not going to get a HEA but alas things wrap up exactly as they should and I was left a very happy reader! I loved this author and fell in love with this book from the very beginning.**I was given a free copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

To Katie With Love The Katie Chronicles Book 1 eBook Erica Lucke Dean Reviews
This is a brilliant book. Katie and Cooper have a great love story. Lots of mayhem and crazy moments. I highly recommend
*cheering* its like a super awesome, funny, charming, box of wine and popcorn in sweat pants chick-flick and a Maraghritas Senioritas themes party worthy read... no more...way to hit a home run, Erica!! -- REVIEW
Reading this book was a blast. I am not openly into chick-lit but I love a good chick-flick so it was no surprise I was tempted to pull on my university logo sweat pants with a whole in the knee, put my hair in a side ponytail order pizza or zap a Lean Cuisine meal, grab a box o' wine and dig into it. This book was a pure delight to read. Twists and turns and as it says on the book cover "Who would have thought having an assassin as a boyfriend would be the least of her problems!" Perhaps if she took a cold shower under all four shower heads in the Chandelier Room with Adjoining Toilet (CRWAT - yes you will have to read the book to understand the context) and perhaps she could have some clarity.
The story is fast paced and seemingly has the typical insta-love at the very beginning like every other romance novel out there. But the fact is both of them have been having feelings for each other for longer than the "first chapter". The truth is Cooper Maxwell had her as his personal banker for over a year and as we will learn he has had his eye on her for a very long time. Dean has written Katie, Cooper and the rest of the "cast" into believable, over the top and yet still well-rounded. Katie makes me want to give her a hug and a makeover at the beginning with her insecurities and total inability to handle a healthy relationship. Instead of accepting what Cooper is offering her at face value she starts letting her very vivid imagination get the best of her... despite the fact he fed her bacon. See, this would be it with me. I would not question him after the bacon no matter how many mysterious money transfers and bodies were piling up... (just saying!!)
Katie protects herself by hiding behind her pretend cat and her pretend boyfriend who lives on the pages of her favorite vampire romance novels she reads while laying in her average count sheets. But Katie has a very well meaning friend who decides to put her in a pair of "dangerous" boots and a not so subtle top ohh.. and not to mention the mini skirt and then sets her loose on her birthday to have some fun. What she doesn't know, as we read about her inability to handle alcohol, is her wardrobe is not the only one thing her friend has been arranging.
If I were to write a joke to describe the book it would start with "Dark steamy hot client walks into a bar..." wait, what is the punch line? Well it could be Katie as she throws back another shot and starts having dark steamy thoughts about Cooper aka dark steamy hot client as the night goes on and the drinks keep flowing... But this book is not a joke, no matter how funny Erica Lucke Dean writes some of the defining moments of Katies new found love.
Later on that night the joke maybe on Katie as she rolls over and wakes up face down in "magnificent sheets" and realizes she is not at home. The sheets should have been an indicator but I am willing to bet the missing pile of books with all the "dark steamy" parts marked were a bigger clue.
Katie's transformation begin that night as she gains more confidence and begins to face the day with a pair of dangerous boots and butterflies in her belly. But she also is faced with the mystery of who her new beau is. She knows how much money he makes yet.... how is he making it? Basically we have a recipe for a typical romance novel. Boy meets girl, girl falls for girl, boy falls for girl, they kiss, some secret ends in a misunderstanding, something fun and quirky happens and in the end............. they live happily ever after. But Dean has a whole new take on writing romance - and it involves a chick-flick style of writing. If this was a movie, I bet I could get Geoff to watch it with me because of how fun the whole story is! Especially all the twists and turns, which I guarantee you will be surprised with! It is all that and a bag of chips... wait no a bag of marshmallows (seriously read it, you will get it!!)

5-Star Marshmallow Review
I loved this book. I was told by a friend to pick up a copy, so I did. And I am so glad! I couldn't put it down. The writing is great, the story line keeps you hooked, and I absolutely loved the characters. Five stars for sure!!!!!
Couldn't decide to if I wanted to give this novel 3 or 4 stars, so let's go with 3 1/2. The story line was fairly simple but it wasn't until towards the end that things started to unfold and get interesting. This would be a good read for the beach, if you want to book to discuss with your girlfriends over coffee, or if you're in need of a lazy day read.
What a fun and unexpected read! Great writing, excellent plotting, surprising twists, and smart characters. This book surprised me in a good way, and I could hardly put it down. Loved the developed characters and the intensity of the romance. Highly recommend this book!
The story is well-written and planned out. The editing is perfect, which is not a luxury for all writers as Publishing companies do away with copy-editors and proof readers. I liked the characters in the story. A touch of mystery with a lot of romance. Very tastefully written.
I'll be honest. This book is a purely escapist, self-indulgent romance, and I enjoyed every last minute of it. Katie is an entertaining and awkward protagonist - I found myself laughing and embarrassed for her in equal measure throughout the book. Cooper is one of those love interests that makes these kinds of reads so addictive - rich, handsome, mysterious, and absolutely smitten with the clumsy heroine of the story. Is he really a dangerous assassin? The twist at the end was priceless! Two thumbs up!
Whoop! I absolutely loved this book! Katie and Cooper together are so fantastic. I love the mystery behind Cooper. His "run-in" with Katie at the bar was done so well and I instantly fell in love with them. Their chemistry and banter with one another just kept a smile on my face the whole way through this story. Katie's obsession with the romance novel series was so endearing. Although it is not really too hard to figure out what Cooper's real job is I adored the way the story played out and lengths that Katie went to try and get to the bottom of some of Cooper's "strange" activities.
