Book Review: "How Sweet It Is" by Dylan Newton

One thing to keep in mind about Dylan Newton's debut rom-com, How Sweet It Is: its title says it all!

After reading a few thrillers and some heavy, emotional books, a light rom-com was exactly what I needed. And this one sure fit the bill!

Kate Sweet is an event planner extraordinaire, the “Queen of Happily Ever Afters,” known for creating magical moments at client weddings. But somehow she gets roped into planning a book launch for Drake Matthews, the eccentric horror writer.

When Kate and Drake meet—in truly one of the most memorable meet-cutes I’ve ever read about—sparks fly. But Drake isn’t interested in Kate’s plans. He’s tired of the act he has to put on for fans, tired of acting mean and frightening for effect. He’s not even sure he wants to write horror anymore!

Can Kate—despite their less-than-professional first meeting—convince Drake to let her plan his book launch without turning it into a circus? Can the two fight their growing attraction to each other, or what would giving in to it mean? Will there be a spookily, or a happily, ever after?

C’mon, rom-com fans. You know what’s in store. But what an adorable, romantic, sexy story How Sweet It Is was—a fun, Hallmark-like romance with a tiny bit of steam. And it’s perfect for the fall and Halloween season!

Gotta love a book that lives up to its name.
