Brant has provided a delicious story I devoured in one day! I just could not put down this book! Brant has an amazing ability to create real characters with real flaws, from Cait and Garrett's relationship issues, which are based on previous experiences, to snooty school board members, to loving family members who face their own challenges. I can truly picture these characters in real life. Not only are Brant’s characters believable, but so is the conflict. Cait and Garrett must work together to...more
The culinary world has a fascination with dipping...thank goodness!! My favorite is anything dipped in CHOCOLATE! Peanuts, pretzels, strawberries! Yep, we love to dip. But the best kind of dipping...is double dipping. It's sinful, forbidden and just naughty enough to be a guilty pleasure. Exactly like the brilliant Marilyn Brant's latest ebook aptly titled, DOUBLE DIPPING.

Marilyn Brant has written another sweet story! You might want to grab a bowl of ice cream while reading this one!

The man responsible for this decision is the new financial director, Garrett Ellis. Garrett has been hired to find out who has been pocketing money from the schools funds.

I'm the author, so I'm naturally going to be very excited about the release of each of my books -- I won't pretend to be unbiased ;). Double Dipping was not the first novel I wrote, but it was the first romance, and I poured a lot of feeling into Cait and Garrett's story, particularly in regards to their family relationships. I was also a public schoolteacher for nearly a decade, so this book is my personal love letter to those hardworking teachers and to a profession I greatly respect. It's my...more
Marilyn Brant has done a great job with "Double Dipping." The writing is clear and crisp, the chemistry between Cait and Garrett hot, and the ice cream is drool worthy. Cait has relationship hangups and Garrett is also not very good at being in a relationship, but they are trying and learning the hard way, all while trying to capture a thief. The intrigue was also written very well and I was kept guessing as to whom the culprit might be. I am eagerly looking forward to Ms.Brant's next release!
You know, if this book had been by anyone other than Marilyn Brant, I would have given it a solid four. But it's not and I know what Brant can do and this, while being very cute and very sweet, is no where near what one of her five star books is capable of. Maybe it's not fair to hold everything up to According to Jane's standard, but I can't help it.
Still it is a lovely, fun read and I totally rec it to everyone.

Finally a 5 star book for 2012!
I really enjoyed the story, loved the heroine Caitlin and the hero Garrett and how their relationship developed during the story.
I felt like the characters were well developed and the story wasn't rushed but not too slow
(the only reason I didn't finish the book sooner was because I hardly had time to read this week).
I thought the secondary characters really added to the story and I would love to read more about Jacob and maybe other charters.

It wasn't as good as "A Summer In Europe," but it was a fun and quick read, which was exactly what I was looking for while waiting for my mom to get out of surgery. Not quite as easy to relate to Cait as it was Gwen (not quite sure why, but that could be just my lack of sleep), but the characters are still fun and interesting.
This is a sweet story, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.
