Reviewing How Sweet It Is
How Sweet It Is was an expected steamy but funny and very sweet story about event planner Kate who is tasked with planning the book launch for the Knight of Nightmares, Drake.
There was humour infused right from the get-go and what I thought would be a Hallmarky novel, turned out to have a lot more steam than I expected (and it was a good surprise!) I definitely loved the built up attraction between Kate and Drake and this book’s elevator scene quite possibly gives The Hating Game’s elevator scene a run for its money!
The constant thoughts about tasks that are needed to be done and all the spreadsheets for the events Kate had were so relatable and I loved that her character wasn’t a pushover, but more of a go-getter.
Also, who can resist the brooding Drake and his glasses? To the book boyfriend list he goes!
Overall, this book was so fun to read.

Book Description
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.
