Review of To Katie With Love by Erica Lucke Dean

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?

After walking away from her career as a business banker to pursue writing full-time, Erica moved from the hustle and bustle of the big city to a small tourist town in the North Georgia Mountains where she lives in a 90-year-old haunted farmhouse with her workaholic husband, her 180lb lap dog, and at least one ghost.

When she’s not busy writing or tending to her collection of crazy chickens, diabolical ducks, and a quintet of piglets, hell bent on having her for dinner, she’s either reading bad fan fiction or singing karaoke in the local pub. Much like the main character in To Katie With Love, Erica is a magnet for disaster, and has been known to trip on air while walking across flat surfaces.

How she’s managed to survive this long is one of life’s great mysteries.

5 stars for To Katie With Love by Erica Lucke Dean!  This was such a fun
and hilarious book!

Katie James is a shy banker who loves her romance novels.  She has all of
her favorite author’s book, and she reads them over and over again.  She
falls for one of her clients, the sexy and mysterious, Cooper Maxwell.
They begin a relationship that moves as fast a freight train!  There is
just one problem-Cooper is keeping a lot of secrets from Katie, and this
leads her to worry.  He refuses to introduce her to his family, and he also
will not tell her what it is he does to earn a living.

After one of her co-workers and her mother plant the seeds of doubt in her
mind, Katie uses her very vivid imagination to entertain some outlandish
ideas about what Cooper might be doing.  She tries to play detective, but
she is the worst sleuth ever.  Some of the situations she finds herself in
are beyond hilarious.

This book was like a breath of fresh air!  I laughed throughout the entire
story!  The author did a great job at keeping the reader guessing.  I was
very surprised by the book’s ending.  I would highly recommend this book to
anyone looking for a fun, romantic read.
