Say hello to the Matthews brothers. Trust me, now that you’ve met them you are never going to forget them. They are handsome and sexy and good to their mother, because that’s how she raised them after their father died: to be well-mannered, good men. Except, of course, when they are up to something. You are going to love them. Say hello also to the women that drive them crazy: the smart, independent women who might just sometimes forget some of their words when they are around these guys. I sense some HEAs coming. Get ready to laugh and swoon and cry and have your heart beat just a little faster, because some moments are just so sweet and some are just downright scary.

How Sweet It Is is the first book in the Matthews Brothers trilogy. Kate Sweet is an event planner – do not under any circumstances say party planner! – famous for always providing that happily-ever-after unforgettable moment for her clients. Kate has just been roped in by her best friend to plan a book launch for bestselling horror author Drake Matthews. Not exactly Kate’s thing, but friendship is friendship. Drake is tired of all the stalking fans and the attention and isn’t thinking extravaganza. A match made in heaven, right? Just wait . . . .

Remember that “sometimes forget some of their words” thing I mentioned above? Well, when Kate and Drake meet she is frightened by what she thinks is a killer dog, runs, falls, flattens Drake, does a little bodily injury, and the first words out of her mouth are, “You’re not photoshopped!” With that beginning how can you not love this book?

How Sweet It Is is laugh-out-loud funny and so sweet your teeth ache (in a good way). It’s also got a lot of more serious issues for our hopefully forever-afters and those around them to deal with: not meeting parental expectations, wanting a change but not knowing how, insecurity, past betrayals and hurts. We can see from the start that Kate and Drake belong together. Now we just need to make them see it. I am voluntarily leaving this review. I recommend it without hesitation and can’t wait for the next book and the next brother in the series. All opinions are my own. ( )

This book gets a 10/10 in the aptly titled category

A typical Sunshine girl x supposedly grumpy guy trope. I loved Dylan Newton's writing style and definitely had a couple of 'Aww Moments' with the book.
It's definitely the first Romance novel I've read where the main characters are having a 'moment' in a crypt and it wasn't creepy at all !
Definitely loved Kate and Drake and looking forward to more by her ! ( )

As a writer, I love reading books about other writers. I love reading romance and thrillers... So everything about this summary spoke to me.

It would be so fun to be an event planner, minus dealing with people of course... Dreaming up the fun and putting it into action. But somehow Kate is hooked into going from her usual weddings to crafting up a book launch. What she doesn't expect is meeting Drake and planning a horror book launch. It's certainly a far cry from fairytale wedding planning.

The chemistry between the two is undeniable and it of course throws a wrench into each's life plans... but what is life without a few twists along the way? Will then end up re-writing the ending to their own stories or continue on their separate paths? I'm sure you already know the answer, but you'll have to read to see how everything plays out!

I think I was expecting something different from this book and it wasn't Halloween-y enough, there wasn't enough conflict, and the slow burn wasn't really a burn but a blah. There were a lot of rom-com hijinks and I can see this as a fun movie, but I was skimming by the end because I wanted to be done with said hijinks. (Maybe just a bad mood match?)
This sounds like a complete pan, but I can think of a lot of people who will love this book. It's just not me. I needed... more.

I was sent this book from the publisher/publicity team. My ratings and reviews will be my own personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may have sent me books to review.

I really wanted to love this one, but it just fell a little flat for me. I just never found myself getting lost in the story or the romance. Everything was moving a little too slow. There were also parts that were too detailed that did not bring anything to the story.

I just wanted more. I needed more chemistry between Kate and Drake. I found myself putting this one down and forcing myself to push through it.

Sadly, this one was just not for me. ( )
