Only her first meeting with Drake does not go well at all. He hates her ideas and doesn't want to be part of some "freak-show". That's not his only problem: he's got writer's block. He's supposed to be working on his next horror novel, but all he can think about is the historical fiction romance he wants to write instead. Only the words aren't coming for that one either. But maybe spending time with Kate will get his creative juices flowing.
My thoughts: This romance is charming and delightful and full of funny moments. Drake Matthews is an introvert; he's also a good guy with a kind heart. I liked him immediately. Kate is more exuberant and outgoing. I liked how she always owns up to her mistakes. But it's their banter, honesty, and humorous interactions (like the bat mishap in the mausoleum), that make this romance so entertaining. Drake's whole writing process was another fun part of this book. I enjoyed reading this one. So even though it's set around Halloween, How Sweet It Is turned out to be the perfect Valentine romance. I'd give it: 💗💗💗💗.
Happy Reading!
This sounds unbearably cute@ and also, i am dying to know what Drake’s writing process is after your review 😆
ReplyDeleteDrake is such a great character. I really liked him a lot!
DeleteThis sounds super cute! I also love books that feature writers so this sounds like a great fit for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a fun read. And the two characters' interactions made me smile. :)
DeleteThe plot seems utterly charming and a nice change of pace from more serious reading.
ReplyDeleteAnd every once in awhile I need a change of pace to something more light-hearted and fluffy. :)
DeleteThis sounds really good and I love the idea of having one of the main characters be a horror novelist. There are some good writers in that genre and one wonders where they get their ideas. Plus it sounds like the book goes into the whole writing process which is also interesting.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those things made this romance a fun read. :)
DeleteThis sounds like a super fun read. I love when books feature authors and their writing process. :)
ReplyDeleteI do, too! :D
DeleteNice! I love the sound of this!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun, if predictable, read. :)
DeleteGreat plot device... having a horror novelist feature in a rom com. Love it. :-D
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one, isn't it? And it's why I even picked this one up in the first place.
DeleteThis sounds great. I love bookish books, especially ones with a lot of witty banter. Nice review, Lark!
ReplyDeleteBookish books are the best. And I appreciated the dialogue between Kate and Drake.
DeleteI love the cover it sounds like a great romance novel. I really enjoy humor and witty banner! Great review :)
ReplyDeleteI always like when I book can make me laugh. :)
DeleteLark, I think that is my favorite in a book!
DeleteSounds cute & entertaining. I'm guessing she helps him get his horror-writing mojo back? boo
ReplyDeleteShe does inspire his writing...but for the historical romance, not his horror novel. :)
DeleteThe bat mishap in the mausoleum?!? I hope that was research for the horror novel!
ReplyDelete:D It was research for Drake's next novel, and it totally made me laugh.
DeleteThese romances with the no-face people on the covers are so popular right now. I feel like a lot of them are very similar, and it is becoming harder and harder to know which ones to read.
ReplyDeleteA lot of contemporary romances feel VERY similar in tone and premise to me, too. And this one's predictable. But it had enough unexpected and humorous moments in it for me to like it more than others I've read.
DeleteThis sounds really good and like something I would like. Great review!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought this book was a fun romantic read. :)
DeleteI love it when a romance has a lot of good humor. Sounds like a fun one. I'll keep this one in mind. Fab review, Lark! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! I enjoyed reading this one. :)
DeleteAww, this sounds super cute!
ReplyDeleteCute is a good word for it. And funny, too. :)
DeleteI’d like to read this.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun one. :)
DeleteSounds like a fun read! Definitely a good fit for Valentine's. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe timing was right on this one, that's for sure. :)
DeleteThis does sound like the perfect Valentine's romance. :-) I hope I get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteIt's predictable, but sweet and funny, too. :)
