For the Love of Katie (Katie Chronicles Series #2)

by Erica Lucke Dean

Overview

Newlywed Katie Maxwell is ready to settle down and leave her amateur detective days behind. But when the veil of secrecy surrounding her husband's latest project takes them to Europe, her penchant for sleuthing lands her in some serious hot foreign water.

Katie will need to think quickly to talk her way out of handcuffs and a Parisian jail cell. Too bad she doesn't speak French.

For the Love of Katie is the second madcap adventure in The Katie Chronicles. This book can be read as a standalone, but why would you want to skip the first?

About the Author

Erica moved from the city to the country when she left her career as a business banker to pursue writing full-time. 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 her first book, 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

Editorial Reviews

06/26/2017
Dean’s laugh-out-loud sequel to To Katie with Love revisits the relationship between Katie James—a modern-day Lucille Ball who firmly exercises her right to jump to the worst conclusions possible and can barely walk without injuring herself—and highly successful paranormal romance author Cooper Maxwell. The frame story has Katie settling into an interrogation at a Parisian police station; the officers make the mistake of telling her to start her story at the beginning, and she willingly lays out every humiliating, wonderful, and cringeworthy moment that led to her winding up in handcuffs. As she recounts, Katie and Cooper fell more in love despite several pretty substantial roadblocks, including the “help” of Katie’s friends and her contentious relationship with her mother. As Katie and Cooper stumbled their way from dating to marriage, their adventures included a surprise body hair waxing gone horribly awry and an unfortunately underresearched prewedding cruise. Dean focuses on humor, but there are quite a few moments of poignancy and tenderness. The zany escapades are occasionally over the top, but they never fail to deliver belly laughs. (Aug.)
