# How Sweet It Is - Paperback

by **Dylan Newton** (Author)

**What happens when the queen of romance falls for the king of horror--you get "a hilarious rom-com romp," perfect for fans of _Beach Read_. (_Kirkus_, starred review)**

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.

"Fans of _The Hating Game_ by Sally Thorne, _Red, White and Royal Blue_ by Casey McQuiston, _Get a Life, Chloe Brown_ by Talia Hibbert, and _Written in the Stars_ by Alexandria Bellefleur will adore _How Sweet It Is_!" --The Nerd Daily
