This book was given to me free by the author in exchange for an honest review.I enjoyed Linda Carroll-Bradd's Dipping in a Toe very much. This sweet romance brought a smile to my face as I read the final paragraph. Ms. Carroll-Bradd's writing style is smooth and easy to read, and the story is just the right length for an afternoon of coffee, chocolate, and romance.After being widowed, Jessa takes control of her life, organizing her housework, her children's activities, every aspect of her day until her hours are full. It seems there is no time for a new man in her life, but her children's swim coach catches Jessa's attention. Rick notices. She has doubts about beginning a new relationship as any young widow would. Her husband was controlling and Jessa has gotten used to taking care of herself and her children. She worries how her children will react to a new man in her life, even if he is their swim coach. After a misunderstanding and a few sparks fly, Jessa and Rick agree to begin their happily ever after.I loved this couple together and how they interacted with each other, and I loved the slow, easy way Ms. Carroll-Bradd built their relationship. The pacing in this story was just right for the genre and the length of the story. Dipping in a Toe is a short, but very entertaining read. I would highly recommend it to lovers of sweet romance.
