How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton
5.0

Horror and romance are two of my top genres and this book combined them both wonderfully. I loved hearing about Kate's methods to creating wondering events including the "Awww" moment. I really felt that ultimately her goal was that her clients had a good day. Yes, she wanted to look good and professional but it was equally as important that it was memorable for them. When Drake finally let her plan, she showed the utmost consideration for him as well as his home which was one of the things that endeared her to him.

I also enjoyed the vulnerability that came through Drake as an writer. I'm not sure if the author intended that to be a bit of a glimpse into herself, but it came across very authentic in the worry about rejection especially in trying out something new. It is always scary to put your work out there even if you're already established. And that came across well.

I also really liked the tongue in cheek meta-jokes made thorough out the novel. Again, I'm not certain if they were intentional but either way they were brilliant. This is also a slow burn romance with one of the more believable third act conflicts that I've read in a long time. This was a cute read that I would highly recommend especially for this like myself who find themselves enamored with these two genres.

I received an eARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
