Review: How Sweet It Is

Review: How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton

Opposites attract in this charming debut romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Beach Read.

Event planner Kate Sweet is famous for creating the perfect happily-ever-after moment for her clients’ dream weddings. So how is it that her best friend has roped her into planning a bestselling horror writer’s book launch extravaganza? But the second Kate meets—or rather, accidentally maims—the drop-dead-hot Drake Matthews, her well-ordered life quickly transforms into an absolute nightmare.

Drake Matthews is tired of the spotlight and tired of his reputation as the Knight of Nightmares. He's really a nice guy! But he’s not prepared for Kate, a fearless agent of chaos in steel-tipped stilettos, or for that sweet sting of attraction he feels for her. She’s inspiring him to take his writing in a whole new direction—one that no one expects. Because now Kate and Drake are changing up the rules, and this plot twist might just surprise everyone . . . including themselves. 

-summary and cover via Goodreads

Plot: This was so good! I love that Kate is an event planner, planning the launch for Drake's new book. The romance was adorable. The book had me laughing at multiple parts! (Their first meeting was hilarious!) And I LOVED that the book takes place in Autumn, around Halloween!

Characters: Kate was a fantastic main character, and I loved her relationship with Drake. I also really liked Imani, and I hope we get a book focused on her! And Drake's family was wonderful, I really liked his brothers!

The Cover: It's really cute! Though, it would be nice if it had a little more Autumn/Halloween colors on it, to show that the book takes place then, because in my experience, it's hard to find Romances that take place during that time.

Overall: I really loved this book! And I LOVED the epilogue. I will definitely be checking out what else this author writes in the future, and I would highly recommend reading this book!

I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher.
