This was a quick read with adorable characters and a fun plot. I liked that there was very little tension in this book. The characters had a lot of chemistry and I was routing for them to succeed.

This book was exactly what the title states how sweet it was!

I love a great romantic read and it’s exactly what you get here. Sweet and loving.

Really enjoyed this one! Very light, sweet, and easy to read. Sometimes all I need is an easy story with a predictable storyline and low angst.

This was a really slow-paced romance that started good but couldn't hold my attention for long. I wasn't too invested in the characters getting together.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book received from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Something just didn’t hit for me. Sweet romance and I do love this authors writing. But just something I didn’t connect with. Definitely give a try if you are feeling nonspooky sweet romance.

This one was so good!! I love how the characters really draw you in!! I cannot wait for the next one!

I had high hopes for this one after seeing different reviews but this one fell pretty flat. This is a romance between an event planner (my dream job tbh) and a young, hot, Stephen King-esque horror author and everything about that sounds like it would be right up my alley Unfortunately, if I'm being honest, the romance seemed unrefined and not well fleshed out. What little enjoyment I may have felt in the first few chapters of the story was quickly dashed. The characters just didn't have the chemistry

Cute little haters turned lovers story- perfect for the beach. The characters are cute, the banter is cute, and the dueling bakers is cute. This is an easy read.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

Kate Sweet is an event - note - NOT party - planner that is known for her perfect "AWWWW" moments. She is meticulous, driven, and wants to create dream weddings for all of her clients. Her BFF Imani needs help. An event planner bowed out of an event that is to happen in a few weeks - can Kate help?

Horror writer Drake Matthews is over the glitz, glamour, and nightmare that comes with being a success. He just wants to live his life and have less drama. His latest book that is to be released on Halloween is having a launch party. Kate bursts into Drake's life in a very memorable way and from there, the book only improves.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more by this author.

This was a great read! I love romance and this was such a good addition to my collection. I love books about wedding planners and this one was great.

This one was DNF for me - not the authors fault, but just interested after reading the first few chapters.

3.5 stars

A good cute read. Author meets wedding planner, forced proximity, hidden depths. I hope this turns into a series with his brothers because hot damn I want more of them!

Ok so I think this may be a 3.5 star book but I’m rounding it up to 4 stars because I just really liked it! The Queen of Romance wedding/event planner + the Knight of Nightmares horror author was a new kind of rom-com that was so much fun to read. I loved Kate and Drake, I thought their banter and series of mishaps love journey were so sweet. They weren’t the deepest of characters but I loved them anyway.

This was a really fun one! Would highly recommend for fans of Mia Sosa's wedding themed books, it had similar vibes

The is a great addition to my rom-com shelf! Love that it was in a small town in New York state - and two really diverse characters - Kate a wedding planner and Drake an author of horror stories.... Who knew? Dylan definitely does! The characters were not only diverse personalities, they were flawed, loveable, spontaneous and above all, real people. What a great story, in a perfect place. Looking for more by this author.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3!!
Okay so, I was excited for this one. It sounded cute and adorable, and it was, it just didn't really work out for me as I expected.

I didn't feel the chemistry, it felt a little staged if that makes any sense, and at some point I just lost interest. There were cute moments and it had a lot of potential, but sadly I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to, it was just fine.

An e-arc was provided by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVED this romance! I received a copy of the story from Netgalley and I had put it off for some time. I’m so glad I finally dove in!
Kate is a premier event planner who specializes in romantic weddings and bringing love to life.
Drake is a famous horror author with a book launch to plan.
Their unlikely fields cross when Kate is hired to plan his book launch and from their first meeting, chemistry is strong!

What I loved most about this book is the fact that you get romance but some spooky references mixed in with drake being a horror author. I’m a huge thriller reader and while this book is nowhere near a thriller, I loved that we saw that aspect of Drake’s life. I think when fall is upon us, this book will be PERFECT for any readers who love romance but want to get into the season at the same time!

How Sweet It Is contains all the love and charm that was promised. This book is a must read for any romance lover.

Kate Sweet is Queen of Happily Ever Afters. Drake Matthews is the Knight of Nightmares. What could be a better combination for falling in love?

This book was full of humorous situations, intimate moments, and family drama. Dylan Newton does a wonderful job combining them all together for a story you can’t help falling for.

5 stars

Thank you to @authordylannewtwon and @readforeverpub for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this one. It was a fast read with a forced proximity trope. I loved getting a POV from both Kate and Drake to see what they were thinking about one another. One thing that I really liked about their relationship was it was awkward at times. From the moment they met things never went as planned. It added the humor I was missing from the banter. The “conflict” that the couple had to go through was really short lived and so it made the ending a little rushed, but overall an enjoyable read.

Thank you @readforeverpub @netgalley for the gifted copy.

I swooned so hard reading this! So damn cute with a bit of sizzle and spice. The slow burn had me hooked and I loved the whole story. I knew I was onto a winner when the shih tzu appeared 😍 I'm loving books about men who are either reading or writing romance atm they make me happy. Kate and Drake made me smile, laugh and the chemistry between them made me need a cold shower. I just didnt want to put this down. I can't wait for the next book.
