Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - Make It Sweet

Yeah I didn't like this one. It wasn't good in my opinion at all. It's so slow and not in a slow burn way where there's tension and little moments and stuff, just slow. It was also insta lusty? Idk if that's a word but they pretty much wanted to do it after their second interaction. They didn't though but still. I didn't get the friends to lovers thing between them at all. I didn't get the connection at all either. I was bored the whole time. I initially thought it had a slow start but I was bored and eventually sped through it so I could finish. I. also didn't like how Emma's only personality trait was being a a character on a tv show that was naked at times and I didn't like how Lucian was so whiny throughout this whole thing. The third act conflict was so stupid too. I'm just glad I'm done.

Kristen Callihan sure does know how to write real, emotional, character driven stories and I am HERE FOR IT. Gosh, I loved Lucian and Emma so much!

I liked the story line but something fell a bit flat for me. Repetition of certain words or phrases (I’m looking at you “in deference to”) pulled me out of the moment. But overall a sweet (haha) story of rebuilding, finding and loving yourself, feat a sunshine actress and a grumpy ex hockey player. And lots of baking.
