This book is chocolate covered mind candy. Sweet, mood altering goodness. A first person story from both points of view. A very interesting way to see how both perspectives are seen! This story has both the highs and the lows...it had me smiling and tearing up! When Kia is arrested and Jake is the one putting the handcuffs on her I felt so bad for Kia. Her world was crashing down around her and Jake wasn't doing much better. Caught in the middle between the feelings he had for Kia and doing what his boss was telling him to do. No amount of chocolate could help either one of them. Both of their hearts broken.
This was a YUMMY book and a really good romance!

I just loved this book! It made me laugh and cry and laugh. It's a happy book! And Jake is HOT ... a total cupcake! The author did this sorta cool thing flipping back and forth between characters from chapter to chapter, and it read really well. If you haven't read this, totally give it a try. I've shared my copy around to all my friends until it's falling apart. Now I have it on ebook. But I'll tell you, it makes me want to eat chocolate everytime.

Loved it! Couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Jake and Kia was off the charts and the relationship between Kia and her grandmother, Chloe, was beautiful. I had to download the book to my phone so I could read it during breaks!
It was a fast pace read that left nothing out: humour, suspense, adventure, romance....and my favorite: chocolate!

This was a great romance mystery! I loved how the author flipped back and forth between the guy and girl character, giving the reader both perspectives! Such fun to read...and YUMMM-O! Make sure you have chocolate on hand when you read this delectable little treat!

Jake and Kia were just tons of fun. I liked their banter and sexual tension build up. They are good together. Chloe the grandmother is so cool. I want a Chloe, and a Bullet. Great read!!! Good for an afternoon escape or staying up late ;)

Do you smell chocolate?

This was a fun and funny romantic mystery of sorts... although it was pretty obvious who the culprit was from the getgo.

This is the story of Kia, a curator at a Michigan museum and Jake, an undercover FBI agent working as another curator so he can obtain evidence against Kia who the FBI is investigating for theft of antiquities.

The banter between these two is fun to read... however the writing is a bit slang-y for my taste. But the two of them together are enjoyable. I usually hate when a character lies, but I didn't have the same anxiety that I usually do, so that was a bonus.

Mystery is solved as this is a standalone and there's a lovely HEA.

Mary Kate Kopec...The name just makes you want to know her. Dip and Devour is doing just that. The story is fun, exciting and you can truly see the story come to life as the author details the romance and humor.
I have always loved to find the author in a story, and she comes out clear as a bell. Fun-loving with a heart of gold covered in chocolate. She makes this a book I will read over and over.
Cant wait to get my hands on her next stories, but this time I will have a large box of chocolate next to me as I read it!
