This book lives up to its' name - it is very sweet. Sweet, but kind of boring.

I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did.
I’m speechless! It was SO good!
Lucian and Emma were everything and more.
Absolutely perfect for one another.
Lucian is an ex-hockey star who no longer plays for a perfectly good reason.
Emma is an actress, who just got the axe to her role.
Literally.
They find common ground by both have being such well known public figures with a large fanbase.
Yet, they are both different in a way that compliments them beautifully.
The way this author described thing… that’s what really sold me the second I picked it up.
Just that first page, describing how the ice from Lucian’s pov.

3.75-4 stars. This is a good book! Make it Sweet is a standalone book set in the same world as Dear Enemy. This is Emma and Lucian's book. Emma is an actress on a fantasy tv show that seems to be like Game of Thrones. When her character is killed off and there is no more acting jobs on the horizon, Emma is worried about her future career and is feeling a bit lost. She is invited for an extended stay at the lush tropical estate of her grandmother's eccentric friend. There she meets Lucian, the friend's grandson who is also staying there. Lucian is also at a crossroads in life. He was an NHL star, but was forced to retire when he had too many concussions. He lived and breathed hockey and losing it has left him grieving and not sure what to do with his life now. Lucian and Emma met and felt a connection right away. Neither feel like they are in a good place to start a relationship, as they both have healing to do. But they are drawn to each other. Lucian shows his love and feeling through cooking. His grandfather was reknowned pastry chef who taught him how to make amazing recipes. As Emma and Lucian spend time together, he makes her delicious dishes and they fall for each other along the way. The two of them heal from their pasts and make a future together.
Make it Sweet is a low angst, sweet, easy read. All of the food talk was very sensual and the way cooking showed Lucian's feelings for Emma was very romantic. I enjoyed this story. Emma and Lucian were great characters. Both were trying to heal, but they helped each other along the way. The two of them really adored each other and I definitely felt their love and soulmate connection. I did find the book a little slow at times, but the connection and chemistry, along with the sensual food experience kept my attention. I was happy that the couple were able to heal from their pasts and get their HEA.
Overall, this was a good book. It is a slow burn read that is a feast for the senses with descriptions of the beautiful tropical locale and intricate food. Emma and Lucian's story was sweet, romantic and emotional. I enjoyed this book and look forward to more from Ms. Callihan in the future!

Callihan knows how to make you feel with her writing.
So sweet. His attention to her is what every girl dreams of, and made the story.
