How Sweet It Is

By: Dylan Newton

Narrated by: Max Lloyd-Jones, Eva Tavares

Opposites attract in this charming debut romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Beach Read.

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.

Meh

I wanted to love this book but something didn’t connect me to the characters well. The narrators kept cutting out and the narration just wasn’t smooth. Wasn’t for me I guess.

A well worth your time book

I do not write many reviews. But this was one I truly will listen too again and enjoyed. Well thought out plot.

Good book but not for me

I struggled to finish it. I never got to connect to the characters so it made it hard to care about what happened to them. It's a cute story and has all the elements of a book I would love but it just wasn't it. I needed more. It's hard to even put it into words. I just needed more.

One of my favorites!

The story line is fun, the characters were sweet, and the descriptions were on point! Also the narrators did a fantastic job bringing the whole
Story to life!

This is her debut novel, and I really enjoyed it!

This is Dylan Newton’s debut novel, and I really enjoyed it!

Kate Sweet is such a quirky, lovable, real character. I could definitely relate to her. Drake Matthews was a dreamy horror writer having an existential crisis and writers block, all related to his writing - what he writes and what he wants to write. Meeting Kate helped him trigger a writing spree in a new genre, and sets in motion some interesting events connected to that, while she was planning an event for the launch of his next new horror release and connected movie.

They are a great match and the chemistry between them, the hilarious story and all of the fantastic shenanigans that arise are just a perfect mix. I can’t wait to read more from her - a great new author find with a promising career!

Two new-to-me narrators (a feat in a dozen years with Audible! Seems there's a whole new batch of narrators coming up recently), that were also very good, and great for these characters.
