4.0

Ich mochte das Buch sehr gerne auch wenn ich finde, dass der Buchtitel unpassend ist. Die beiden Protagonisten habe ich nie als Enemys war genommen. Dennoch waren die Spannungen, durch den unglaublichen Schreibstil, sehr greifbar. Die Liebesgeschichte der beiden war sehr schön mitzuverfolgen, besonders durch die abwechselnden Perspektiven der beiden. Damit war es möglich bei deinen die Gefühlswelt mit zu erleben und deren Entscheidungen waren dadurch besser nachzuvollziehen. Besonders bei Lucian ist dies sehr gut gelungen.
5 Sterne sind es dennoch nicht geworden, da an einigen Stellen die Sachen doch sehr schnell abgehandelt wurden und überstürzt gehandelt wurde, besonders zum Ende hin hätten ein paar Seiten mehr, die am Anfang hätten gesparrt werden können, gefehlt.
Allen im allen dennoch eine sehr schöne Liebesgeschichte.

Kindle unlimited, audible. Nice plot! Loved both characters. They went to heal their wounds and fell in love. Jacob zmorgsn/Zachary Webber was awesome narrator. 

3 stars

All was going well until the eye-rolling last 25% made me dropping a whole star from the rating; Make It Sweet had a lot of appeals up front: the chemistry was intense, fun banters (love all the nicknames they came up for each other), and the inclusion of dessert and pastry making was a lovely sensory addition. Unfortunately the romance peaked at around 75%, and the story started spiraling into a series of frivolous arguments, leading to the most obnoxious act of white fanging from the hero. The decision to remove himself from the heroine was so unrealistic, it felt like a sheer manipulation from the author (padding the book), rather than a realistic decision from the character. And to have its consequence speedily resolved in 2 chapters was just rubbing salt into wound. Too bad, I was ready to love it but Make It Sweet left behind an unpleasant aftertaste.
