How Sweet It Is is a study in contradictions, with the Queen of Happy Endings and the Knight of Nightmares being forced to work together for a book launch. Kate Sweet is an event planner, and she's good. She's famous for her "Awww" moment and working with the groom to do something extra special for the bride. Drake Matthews is a horror writer, but he's really a nice guy and he's looking to get out of the horror genre and into the... historical romance genre? 

The book's mostly a sweet romance - complete with a massive misunderstanding just before the book launch party and a HEA - but there are elements of horror scattered throughout the book, starting with Kate thinking she's being chased by an attack dog and including Kate getting a bat in her hair while lying in a crypt.
