Catching Kate by D. Kelly Blog Tour



After almost four years, Michael Matthews has come face to face with the love of his life. To say it didn’t go quite as he envisioned is an understatement. Never in a million years would he have imagined that his best friend, Daniel, is the new man in Kate’s life.

Once their explosive evening concludes and everyone goes their separate ways, Mike takes the time to calm down and plan his next move. If there’s one thing that calms him it’s Kate, even if it’s just memories of her. Mike has four hours before he sees her again and gets to plead his case. Instead of sleeping, he spends his evening remembering every detail of their relationship from the beginning.

Experience Mike and Kate’s love story from the start, all from Mike’s point of view. Find out why he left Kate in pieces and learn just how far he’ll go to make her fall in love with him all over again.

“No, I’m just passing through town. I met Aimee at the coffee shop today and she invited me. I’m Mike.”

Connor laughs, “So you were their third tonight. They were wondering if you were going to come. Or should I say show? If you’re here, you definitely came. No wonder you’re out here alone, you’re recovering. They can be a bit overwhelming, in a sinfully delicious way.”

Daniel raises his hands up and laughs. “Don’t look at me, I wouldn’t know. They haven’t been able to talk me into that yet. Maybe someday, but then again…maybe not."

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆

This tells Michael's side of the story which we read in Breaking Kate. I was quite pleasantly surprised that it did give us a genuinely different perspective. The moving backwards and forwards through time worked well at keeping the plot fresh. Although I now like him more, I still don't think we know why he did what he did. And I am still rooting for Daniel to win her hand!

I do hope Ms. Kelly is busy writing the next book now, so that all will be revealed.



Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆

This book goes along with Breaking Kate and you should read that first. It gives us the story in Michael’s point of view and what his hopes are from the outcome of the end of Breaking Kate. If you were on team Daniel at the end of Breaking Kate you might actually be on team Michael at the end of this book. I am still actually on the fence. This book was an amazing story of loss, love, friendship, and passion. There is a cliffhanger and we don’t know what will happen next but I can’t wait to read the next book. I can only hope I don’t have to wait too long and I hope there aren’t several books before there is finally a Happily Ever After!

Characters: The characters were well written, likeable and believable. They remind you of your own friends and family.
Sex: Yes and holy crap on a cracker is it HOT

This is the first in a series and I can't wait to read more. Catching Kate is next and called book 1.5.

The story is clever, the characters engaging and the outcome/cliffhanger was very well thought out. I will be very interested to see how the story plays out, and whether my expectations are fulfilled. This is not going to be a simple HEA as too many spanners are thrown in the works, but somehow the author must be planning on making it right - that is how it works, isn't it?!

I did find that it the story somewhat drawn out, and could have been more tightly written. Some of the conversations, particularly between the male characters were far more wordy and emotional than any I've ever heard in real life. It was fine when we were reading Kate's POV, but there was little change in voice when in came to Daniel.

Overall I found this a worthwhile read and will be reading the second book as soon as I can get hold of it.

This book blew me away! The book starts out three years in the past and then joins to present time. We meet childhood sweethearts Michael and Katherine. Together since elementary school they are destined to be together forever, until one tragic event changes everything. After three years of hell and being pushed to go to a party with her best friend Jess, Kate finally feels like living again. Her reason to live again is Daniel. Daniel and Kate have instant chemistry, they fall hard and they fall fast. Life couldn’t get any better until they are all at an engagement party for a mutual friend. Kate’s past, is standing right in front of her in the form of Michael. This book was an amazing story, of loss, love, friendship and passion. There is a cliffhanger and we don’t know what will happen next but I can’t wait to read the next book. I can only hope I don’t have to wait too long and I hope there aren’t several books before there is finally a Happily Ever After. I will read the next book, Catching Kate #1.5 but I really want book #2 and to see what happens and who gets their HEA.

I'm a wife, a mom and a dog lover. I'm also a taxi, problem fixer, extreme multi-tasker and my kids’ biggest fan in anything that they do. I love to write, so when my career suddenly derailed I turned back to my love of writing. I married my high school sweetheart... how cool is that? Margaritas and sarcasm make me happy. Chocolate makes that happiness grow exponentially. People who make me laugh are my favorite kind of people. I believe Karma is a bitch who slaps back hard and that mean people suck. I'm California born and raised, I love the beach but hate the sand. The Acceptance Series is my first series of books with more to come soon.
