In the follow up to Asher's Not the Witch You Wed, we are thrown back into world of Rose and her two sisters are triplet witches and best friends.

When the triplets decide to liberate some abused horses, they learn that the place is an animal sanctuary run by half-demon veterinarian Damian. Rose is sentenced to do community service at the sanctuary, and realizes that Damian is the man with whom she had a memorable one night stand with.

Damian and Rose agree to a friends with benefits relationship--Damian fears getting too involved because of a hex put on him by an ex-girlfriend. that will make him lose his humanity.

This one was a little bit too much for me -there was too much of a focus on sex, to the point where it was almost crude. Unfortunately, just not my cup of tea.

Thanks to NetGalley, April Asher, and St. Martin's Griffin for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another fantastic book by April Asher! I have enjoyed both of the books in the Supernatural Singles so far. I am excited to keep reading this series in the future.

In this book, we follow the middle sister, Rose Maxwell, who until the events of book 1, had been training to be the next Prima of the Supernatural Council. She has since stepped down to allow her older sister to take her rightful place as the next Prima. During an event, she ends up having a one-night stand with a handsome half demon veterinarian, Damian Adams.

Months later, they can't stop thinking about that one night stand and because of some decisions, Rose ends up volunteering at Damian's animal sanctuary. Their attraction is too much so they eventually decide to be friends with benefits. And that is where the story just goes on from there!

I loved the banter and relationship between Rose and Damian. They both were fantastic characters to follow and root for. So much angst, hexes, dangers, and lust that they have to deal with together.

The only reason I didn't give this book a 5 star is because I thought at times, this book was a bit too long. Nevertheless, I would recommend this to all romcom readers and those looking for a cute and steamy witchy romance.

I wish I liked this!!! The entire plot was something I would have frothed at the mouth for but it took me 6 MONTHS to actually read... It was just not something that dragged me in and clung to me and that makes me sad

I love witchy books, I love romance- but something about a witchy romance just doesn’t work for me. I’ve read so many by so many talented authors, and I can’t do it.

The steam was fun and I enjoyed the banter, but I zoned out through much of it. I just wants captured. Plus Damian sucked.

This book was just okay, and I really didn't get as attached as the first book in the series. I feel like it started off strong, but then the book overall fell somewhat flat for my taste.

Super great romance book about a witch and a demon. There were moments I laughed out loud, but it was also very heartfelt at different parts. Great read!

I didn't realize if I downloaded it counted towards feedback....I am so sorry I didn't get a chance to read this book....

A delightful follow-up to Not The Witch You Wed. Focusing on the older sister, Asher weaves an enemies-to-lovers romance between two people who are trying to prove themselves more than the family name. Plenty of laughs, humor, paranormal hijinks, romance, and family drama to keep the reader entertained.

This was so well written. I was engrossed from the first page and it ticked all the boxes of my expectations. The character development was excellent. I would definitely recommend to others, a must read!

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Griffin for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
Extra special thank you to the reps at St. Martin's Griffin for a physical ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This took me a while to finish and review but that's due solely in part to a reading slump (and life)

I adored this novel! My FIRST five-star novel for 2023. I took so long as although I had the E-ARC, I wanted to annotate my physical ARC copy. There were moments that were heartwarming and there were moments that were incredibly heart wrenching.

I did love the first installment in the series (5-star in 2022), and I'm usually so hesitant about sequels in companion novels but I'm thrilled to report that I adored this one as much as the first.

I would add a quote, although I typically don't like spoilers in my reviews. Just imagine a pink book full of complementing-pink tabs. I loved the setting, the individual character arcs, ALL the side characters, and of course, the sweet romance between Rose and Damian. Mind you, it does have its steamy moments and innuendos though that's all blended so well with romantic and comedic moments.

Vi and Linc (the first book's couple) were being setup as the ultimate power couple in their novel. Rose and Damian flipped that storyline when their character developments pivot them away from what they grown up being told to do and now reinventing themselves as adults for different paths.

I LOVE IT. I have no criticism other than playful criticism for being impatient for the next installment of this fantastic witchy-romcom series!

This is book 2 of the series and while I didn’t read the first book, it worked as a standalone in my opinion but I will be going back and getting book one and experiencing this all again!

I was really excited to read this novel after enjoying the first in the series but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me.

Things I Liked:
-The magical world that Asher has built for these novels is fantastic. There are so many different magical figures and the way they are able to freely use their abilities within their town and community is really awesome. Too many fantasy novels have too little magic in them, but that is not an issue here.
-Interactions between The Maxwell triplets are always my favorite, the sisters love each other so much. It was also great seeing Violet so much in this one.
-The chemistry between the two MCs was great and Rose finally got someone who puts her needs first.
-The soul hex and the history behind it. Loved how that all played out.
-Rose working at the sanctuary

What Didn’t Work For Me:
-I just really didn’t jive with the bounty hunter career path and the journey to get there. It just didn’t seem like it made sense for Rose and seemed really forced. This was a big part of the storyline so it really impacted my enjoyment of the novel.

The audiobook narrator was great, I think that’s why I was able to finish this book instead of DNFing it once the bounty hunting piece started taking shape. I will definitely pick up the next novel in this series, because I really want to know Olive’s story and I have a feeling Bax will be a big part of that!

Loved this supernatural novel. I don’t know why it took me so long to read it, but when I started I didn’t want to stop.

This supernatural romance was fun and charming with a dash of spicy. Should be read by an audience who loves the shows Supernatural, Buffy and Angel.

This is the first I have read in the series and I want to go back and read book one. I didn’t feel I needed to read the first, but I definitely want to!

I want to thank NetGalley, April Asher and St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

I've been on the witchy rom com book train for a while and I've been loving every second of it. This book is a beautiful shining star in it's genre and was wonderfully heartfelt. Every page brings a new emotion to life in it's enthralling read.

An adorable supernatural romance between a witch and half-demon forced to spend time together after a one night stand. This one has lots of witty banter, laughs, and some spice.

I didn’t realize this was the second in a series and haven’t read the first but I’m pretty sure they’re completely standalone.

I would have enjoyed a release closer to Halloween for this one!

Thank you SMP, April, and NetGalley for the ARC! I enjoyed participating in a book tour back in February around the time of publication on instagram for this one with Once Upon a Time Book Tours.

Really loving this series so far!! And I’m so so sooo excited for olives story!! Like I’ve been so found of Bax ever since he was introduced in the first book, and olive being a reader/ teacher! BUT ANYWAYS LETS TALK ABOUT ROSE AND DAMIAN!

I love how rose isn’t sure what she wants to do now, now that she’s free from being the next prima witch. It just shows that sometimes bad things happen to get where you’re truly supposed to go/be! Her love for the animals was honestly heart warming!! Damian my dude is so closed off and grumpy, which of course we all know he has a soft spot for rose ever since their one night stand at Vi’s and Linc’s party in book one! But of course we find out why Damian is the way he is due to a ex hex!

This was as great a book as the first in it's series. Its funny and the love story is great. The author has a way with words, and the sarcasm in the book made me laugh and smile throughout the entire book. This is a great book about figuring out who you are, what you want to do, female empowerment, and falling in love. I highly recommend. I can't wait for the next book.

Loved everything about this one and can’t wait for the next one!

Rose finding her own way was so inspiring, and watching her drag the other girls into shenanigans was so fun! And Damian was the perfect counter part to Rose.

This book was cute fun paranormal romance but a bit forgettable. We follow Rose Maxwell as she steps down as Prima from her coven. After years of having to do everything right Rose is looking for some fun. Enters Damien a half demon who runs a struggling animal shelter. After her one night stand Rose runs into some trouble and gets community service at No other than Damien’s animal shelter. We follow these two through hate to love. While this book was cute I was not a big fan of the pacing it felt slow at times for me and a little disjointed. Me personally I feel my taste a little more in the cozy paranormal romance so again this book was just not my cup of tea. I want to thank Netgalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley, April Asher, and publishers for gifting me a copy of Not Your Exes Hexes in return for my honest opinion.

3.5/5 stars

This is a cute super natural read. After Rose and Damian have a one-night stand neither can get the other out of their heads. When Rose is forced to complete community service she is also forced to spend time with Damian who runs the animal sanctuary. Their no strings attached relationship works for a while until they both start to have feelings for the other. But for Damian having feelings for someone could mean that his heart will break, literally due to a hex put on him by an ex-girlfriend. Will their love be strong enough to break the curse?

While I did enjoy reading this book I felt at times the author told us as much as showed us. For example "Taking Rose off guard, Damian hurled her into a hot, hard kiss that nearly melted her from the inside out." This does absolutely nothing for me, it doesn't make me think oh yeah what a hot kiss... I wanted to be able to close my eyes and put myself in the scene but it was just kind of anti-climatic.

While I'm glad that I read this book and would recommend it to supernatural romance fans I wouldn't pick it up to read it a second time.
