Posted February 23, 2021 by Stephanie in Reviews / 0 Comments

Make It Sweet by Kristen Callihan is now live!

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a charming, emotional romance about redefining dreams and discovering unlikely love along the way.

Life for Emma isn’t good. The world knows her as Princess Anya on Dark Castle, but then her character gets the axe–literally. The cherry on top is finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation.

Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex-hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes.

He’s charming when he wants to be but also secretive and gruff, with protective walls as thick as Emma’s own. Despite a growing attraction, they avoid each other.

But then there’s an impromptu nighttime skinny-dip, and Lucian’s luscious homemade tarts and cream cakes start arriving at Emma’s door, tempting her to taste life again…

In trying to stay apart, they only grow closer–and their broken pieces just might fit together and make them whole.

Stephanie’s 4 Star Review:

I received a free copy of this book from the author.

This is the first book I’ve read by Kristen Callihan.  Make Sweet focuses on an injured hockey player and an actress nurturing her wounds.  Now with that kind of intro you’d think they were both pretentious.  That could be further from the truth with these two.

Lucian and Emma are both very grounded people. Sure they have fame but both are hiding out nursing broken hearts over their careers and former significant others.  One look at each other and sparks are flying.  That doesn’t mean they’re going to act on it though.

This story is a great push and pull between the characters.  I love how Emma calls Lucian out on his BS, but not too harshly.  They really have a great dynamic and I enjoyed reading this book.

Meet Kristen

Kristen Callihan is an author because there is nothing else she’d rather do. She is a three-time RITA nominee  and winner of two RT Reviewer’s Choice awards.

Her novels have garnered starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly and the Library Journal, as well as being awarded top picks by many reviewers. Her debut book FIRELIGHT received RT Magazine’s Seal of Excellence, was named a best book of the year by Library Journal, best book of Spring 2012 by Publisher’s Weekly, and was named the best romance book of 2012 by ALA RUSA. In 2015, Kristen received a RITA Award for Best Paranormal Romance for her novel Evernight.

Kristen is a child of the 80s, which means she’s worn neon skirts, black lace gloves, and combat boots although never all at once and can quote John Hughes movies with the best of them. A lifelong daydreamer, she finally realized the characters in her head needed a proper home and thus hit the keyboard. She believes falling in love is one of the headiest experiences a person can have, so naturally she writes romance. Her love of superheroes, action movies, and history led her to write historical paranormal novels. She lives in Washington, DC, with her husband and two children.
