Kate is perfection personified. She never loses her cool, always has it together, and can make any event a success.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Things with Drake go horrifically wrong from the first second they encounter each other. He does not know if she is the right person to plan his book launch, and she needs to prove to Drake that she is worthy of this job so she can win the prestigious EVPLEX award. Drake has a secret and decides to use the self-proclaimed Queen of Happily Ever After to research a new book that he is drafting that is unlike anything he has ever written before.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The title of this book accurately portrays what I thought about it. It was an undeniably syrupy sweet, light-hearted read with very low angst. This story was a blast, and it kept me laughing from the beginning to the end. I had a smile on my face the entire book. Kate and Drake\u2019s chemistry leapt off the page. Their quick-witted and lively banter was a thrilling and satisfying addition to the story. My only complaint would be that sometimes during the middle of the book that the pacing slowed down so much that it felt that it was lagging along from time to time.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is my first book by<em><strong> Dylan Newton<\/strong><\/em>, but it definitely will not be my last. I think that fans of authors like <em><strong>Sally Thorne<\/strong><\/em> or <em><strong>Sophie Sullivan<\/strong><\/em> will enjoy this romantic comedy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3yZ4qfv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/how-sweet-it-is\/id1539084655?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_how_sweet_it_is&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/how-sweet-it-is-dylan-newton\/1138022815?ean=9781538754412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/how-sweet-it-is-29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Dylan_Newton_How_Sweet_It_Is?id=gEgHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event planner Kate Sweet is famous for creating the perfect happily-ever-after moment for her clients\u2019 dream weddings.

But the second Kate meets\u2014or rather, accidentally\u00a0<i>maims<\/i>\u2014the drop-dead-hot Drake Matthews, her well-ordered life quickly transforms into an absolute nightmare.<br \/><br \/>Drake Matthews is tired of the spotlight and tired of his reputation as the Knight\u00a0of Nightmares. He's really a nice guy! But he\u2019s 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\u2019s inspiring him to take his writing in a whole new direction\u2014one that no one expects. Because now Kate and Drake are changing up the rules, and this plot twist might just surprise everyone . . . including themselves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Jul 12, 2021<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Warm<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Grand Central\u00a0<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Forever<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p><em>\u201c\u2019The best part about our romance is that it\u2019s not plotted out.

Kate is perfection personified. She never loses her cool, always has it together, and can make any event a success.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Things with Drake go horrifically wrong from the first second they encounter each other. He does not know if she is the right person to plan his book launch, and she needs to prove to Drake that she is worthy of this job so she can win the prestigious EVPLEX award. Drake has a secret and decides to use the self-proclaimed Queen of Happily Ever After to research a new book that he is drafting that is unlike anything he has ever written before.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The title of this book accurately portrays what I thought about it. It was an undeniably syrupy sweet, light-hearted read with very low angst. This story was a blast, and it kept me laughing from the beginning to the end. I had a smile on my face the entire book. Kate and Drake\u2019s chemistry leapt off the page. Their quick-witted and lively banter was a thrilling and satisfying addition to the story. My only complaint would be that sometimes during the middle of the book that the pacing slowed down so much that it felt that it was lagging along from time to time.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is my first book by<em><strong> Dylan Newton<\/strong><\/em>, but it definitely will not be my last. I think that fans of authors like <em><strong>Sally Thorne<\/strong><\/em> or <em><strong>Sophie Sullivan<\/strong><\/em> will enjoy this romantic comedy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3yZ4qfv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/how-sweet-it-is\/id1539084655?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_how_sweet_it_is&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/how-sweet-it-is-dylan-newton\/1138022815?ean=9781538754412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/how-sweet-it-is-29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Dylan_Newton_How_Sweet_It_Is?id=gEgHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27436"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29519,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27436\/revisions\/29519"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
