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.
Make it Sweet is a charming love story with a touch of heat. A heartbroken famous actress meets a grumpy former hockey star when both seek refuge in an idyllic California villa. There’s very little drama and nothing particularly remarkable about the story, but the delightful characters and the setting make it entertaining throughout.
Do not read this book if you’re hungry. All the French pastry talk sent me running to my local bakery.
Ava Erickson and Jacob Morgan turn in winning vocal performances in the audiobook.
