I just don't see how Hook was manipulative, or "made" her love him. He was there for her exactly the way she needed, even when she didn't realize it.

Manipulate? Who thinks Killian manipulated Em? Did they not notice how Em always brushed his flirting aside and how most of the time they interacted in season 2 Killian ended up knocked out or tied up? I knew they'd get together eventually from the start but it would be on Em's terms. Killian couldn't manipulate Em even if he wanted to.
