I was excited to jump back into the Maxwell sisters' lives with this one. And the author did not let me down. This sequel to Not the Witch You Wed followed Rose Maxwell's story after stepping down from her place as the Prima Apparent. I really enjoyed watching Rose's journey from floundering in life to knowing exactly what she wanted for her future. This one offered the perfect mixture of sweet and spicy. The steamy scenes were not overdone which made for a very enjoyable read. I always enjoy revisiting couples from previous books and it was great to meet up with Vi and Lincoln again. So far, the Supernatural Singles series has been excellent! I highly recommend reading it!

Thank you April Asher, St. Martin’s Griffin, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. Available 2/7/23.

For her entire life, Rose Maxwell trained to become the next Prima on the Supernatural Council. Now that she's stepped down, it's time to focus on herself. And not think about her impulsive one-night stand with Damian Adams, a half-Demon Veterinarian. Neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when Rose is sentenced to community service at Damian's animal sanctuary it becomes impossible for them to ignore their sparking attraction. A friends-with-benefits, no feelings, no strings arrangement works perfectly for them both. After a sequence of dead-end jobs, it's not until Rose tangos with two snarly demons that she thinks she's finally found her path. However, this puts Damian back on the periphery of a world he thought he left behind. Working-and sleeping-together awakens feelings Damian never knew he had. and shouldn't have. Because thanks to his ex's hex, if he falls in love, he'll not only lose his heart-but his humanity.

If you love witty banter, the forced proximity trope, and sassy sister witches, this book is for you! This series gives me “Charmed” vibes and I absolutely love it. This was a quick and fun read that you should definitely give a try. I gave “Not Your Ex’s Hexes” 4 ⭐️’s.

Not Your Ex’s Hexes was freaking adorable and I absolutely devoured this cute witchy romcom. If you’re a sucked for grumpy x sunshine romances, witty banter, and warm fuzzies then I highly recommend!

A fun lighthearted romance full of glorious twists and turns. Crackles with energy, wit, and a creative romance. One not to be missed.

Paranormal romcom with demons and witches and shifters. I was very excited for book 2 especially because Rose is an interesting character. I guess I was hoping there was going to be more magic in this book. It had some, it had a lot of everything, saving an animal clinic, bounty hunting, fuck buddies, a hex, demon portals… overall pretty cute.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for an eARC.

Not as charming as the first in the series. This one was mostly juvenile humor and miscommunication, which did not land very well.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc.

This is the followup to Not the Witch you Wed following the middle of the triplets, Rose. You should read the first book before going into this one because I feel like you will miss out and not understand the growth Rose has in this book.

I adored the first one and adored this one as well. April Asher just writes fun characters that have great banter. Also, her side characters add such fun and quirkiness to the story. I especially adored the introduction of Miguel and Terrrance in this book. I love this world that April Asher has built that is very much paranormal but with all the pop culture references that we know.

I can't wait for the third book which will focus on Olive and I'm hoping there will be a fourth as well. We need a Harper book!

I’ve never read any of April Asher’s books before, and went in to this book essentially blind.

I won’t lie, when I first picked it up, I put it down pretty fast. I almost DNFd it because I just didn’t get in to it.

However, I picked it back up yesterday and I’m glad I did.

While this book starts off kind of slow, about 30-40% in it really picked up and immersed me in to the world of Damian and Rose. I loved the spin on the ignorant bad body turned good guy and the intelligent female. Mix in some demon and witch = Wha lah!

Very enjoyable! The author’s writing didn’t always work for me but I thought this was a fun read. I look forward to reading the rest of the series! The supernatural world in this series is really interesting.

cute romance with an interesting side plot. I liked both the fantasy side and romance part of the book, neither was overpowering the other. I really like both the main characters and the problems that were covered through them. It was a fun and cute read!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is the follow up to Not the Witch You Wed and has all the amazing banter of the first book with a new couple to fall in love with. Rose and Damian are so much fun, even when you want to smack them to make them admit their feelings! The world the author has created with these books is the perfect combination of fantasy and real life and I look forward to hopefully getting Olive's book next!

I really enjoyed this book. It was so fun to watch them go from a “fake” relationship to falling in love with each other. I wanted to yell at her family for the way they treated her. I would recommend this book.

My review could possibly have spoilers. Let me start out by saying I didn't read the first book in this series,and I don't think it needs to be read. It was a good standalone.

⭐⭐⭐💫
🌶️🌶️🌶️
This is my first April Asher novel and I thought it was cute. Rose(a witch) is trying to find where she belongs. The former prima apparent now has time on her hands to do just that. She also has time to find her self in hot water with the council. Which leads her to do service hours at a Sanctuary owned by Damian Adams, who is half demon half human.

While working together they form an agreement to be each other's FB. No strings attached no anything. But we all know how that goes.....

I enjoyed the banter between the two MCs and the side characters. Asher does a good job with details.
What I didn't like was all the eyebrow(s) raising. It felt like it was done on every other page. The beginning was a little bit slow for me as well.

Thank you to #netgalley and #stmartinspress for this ARC for my honest review.

I was so excited to read Roses story after the first book. Rose had been training all her life for a role she didn't necessarily want nor did she get to fulfill. Girl needed a break...so what better way to let loose than a one night stand. Enter Damien - reformed bad boy/demon hunter turned vet / manages an animal sanctuary. She is sentenced to community service after an incident where she tries to rescue some horses....that didn't need to be rescued. Enter forced proximity/workplace romance. I very much enjoyed their story and I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Another winner from April Asher I absolutely loved NOT THE WITCH YOU WED and I loved this one too. I'm so excited to continue in this universe with these sisters. So fun, romantic and magical.

I love this story!

Received and ARC from NetGalley

This is Rose and Damian story! Rose is trying to find herself after she is no longer the prima and Damian is running away from his past!
After a little misunderstanding Rose ends up having to do community service in Damian’s animal sanctuary. From there, after a lot of banter their “benefits only” relationship evolves!

I love how strong Rose is, she is committed to find her passion and she does by trying different tips of jobs!

I definitely recommend it if you love the one nights stand trope with a curvy and courageous FMC!

Something about April Asher's writing keeps me hooked enough to see how the story will play out; however, the banter was a bit much for me at times and unfortunately the tropes become too over-the-top as the book goes on.

Loved this humorous, well written novel. Rose and her sisters, along with a grumpy demon veternarian, guardian angel and shifter personalities interact loudly and frequently. Laugh out loud scenes, old hexes, and new partnerships. Can't wait for the next in the series!!!!

352 pages, paperback. Publication expected 2/7/2023. St. Martin's Griffin.

What a fun, sexy romance! Quick review: I loved the characters, the sisterly bond,the magic system/world, and the overall premise of the love story. I now want to go back and read the first one - and I cannot wait for the third one.

"Not Your Ex's Hexes" is one of April Asher's Supernatural Singles books. Here, things begin spicy, with a one night stand between a witch and a half-demon. Our witchy main character, Rose, has set off on an adventure to learn who she is, after stepping down from becoming the next Prima (head witch on a supernatural council). The issue is, she has no idea who she wants to be. In an crazy moment, she has a one night stand. Months later, she runs into him again - and winds up getting forced to do community service hours at his animal sanctuary. They attempt to ignore each other, fail, and become friends with benefits. The only issue is, Damian begins to feel for her, but because of a hex, he risks losing his heart and his humanity if he falls in love.

Rose and Damian are fun together - one grumpy and broody, the other fun and preppy. Damian is a vet, and he cares for sick and injured animals that need rescuing. I absolutely adored the animal sanctuary, and all the animals in it. Rose is trying to find her own path - and takes some risks in this book to do so. Between all of these things, Rose has her two sisters (triplets), and all they get up to as well. I did really love the sisters relationships, how they fought for each other, and how they teased and picked on one another.

The plot moves well, and I never really felt annoyed or like the pace wasn't quick enough. There is more than just the romance at play here, and that helped add dimension. There are plenty of spicy scenes as well, but not too many (meaning it still has a story to be told, not just a book full of spice).

As with any series like this - it's easy to read without having read the other, but you know there are things you are missing out on that it is referring to. I never felt lost though, just more intrigued to go back and read the first one. It also sets up the next relationship for book #3 (and does a great job - I cannot wait for it!).

As to the world building, I did really like it the magic and system in place here. I understood it well enough, without having the read the first. I am interested in some of the backstory. But how the author worked the supernatural council in, the different types of shifters and magic, succubi, demons, etc., was so much fun with the real world. It was also fun to see magic used in a more modern setting, and the way it can be applied.

Overall, 4 star read, and looking forward to the rest!

What a cute story! The book is far sexier than the cover implies.

Rose is a witch who has just stepped down from being next in line to be Prima (head witch) not to mention just got out of a REALLY bad relationship. She’s not looking for anything permanent in her life, just some sexy fun.

Enter veterinarian Damian, a demon with a hex from his witchy ex who, like Rose, has no intention of starting anything serious.

What starts as friends with benefits soon turns into more. But can Rose and Damian defeat Damian’s hex?

Very cute book. Filled with all kinds of witchy puns and catch phrases (“Hex me!” and referring to your girls as “Bwitches” among other things.) I’ve already checked the audiobook of book 1 from the library to read Rose’s sister Violet’s story.
