The Plot (from Goodreads):
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.
The Review:
What an adorable story! As a Halloween lover myself, I knew I had to pick this one up.
I really enjoyed Kate and Drake’s characters, and thought they made a good couple with great chemistry. I adored their meet-cute scene–too funny! Drake’s relationship with his brothers and his mother was a lot of fun, and I’m excited that the next two books in the series will be about Zander and then Ryker. They seem like a really loving family, and I look forward to getting to know more about them.
Overall this was a sweet, fun rom-com that you should definitely pick up around Halloween.
I liked Imani in this book and am excited for her love story with Zander, coming next summer.
