Thank you to Forever Publishing for the eARC/ALC.
Hot Hex Boyfriend was a hoot. Delia’s family line is descended from witches…at least that’s what her grandmother says, even if Delia doesn’t believe it. Max is there taking care of his late uncle’s home (Delia’s neighbor) and making sure that Delia doesn’t break the hex upon her family.
This book was just funny and cozy. It was dual narration so it was great getting to see both points-of-view and getting to know more about the magic side from Max’s view. There were instant sparks between him and Delia and it was adorable seeing them fall into their feelings for each other. There wasn’t a ton of steam in this story, but what was there was *very nice.*
The best part was the side characters, though. Delia’s kooky (but loving and accepting) family, her ride or die best friend, Max’s brother and parents, and even Nicky, the imp/familiar (hellloooooo to his accent). Hot Hex Boyfriend was really just light and happy (although I did cry at one point—spoiler alert) and I couldn’t get enough.
I will happily read this again and will look for more from this author.

Thanks to Forever for an eARC; all opinions are my own.
I really wanted to like this book but I just... didn't. I felt like Max wanted Delia to fail and then when she didn't, he was all "I will save you." he lied to her about who he was, led her on and then expected her to trust him (which he did) and it just didn't do it for me. He just seemed like not a great guy.

Delia Merriweather and her family have always been rumored to be witches, but that is just hogwash. She has left behind childhood fantasies in favor of a more grounded reality. Delia has dabbled in various careers and has decided to start an interior design business. Then she runs into Max, the next-door neighbor who "owns" an antique store. The tension between them is either because Max is helping Delia or because Max is inadvertently complicating her life. Their relationship is a blend of misunderstanding, humor, and undeniable chemistry. A seemingly harmless accident restores the long-dormant powers of the Merriweather women; Delia's true identity, which she had long since dismissed as mere folklore, is turned on its head.
The book is a charming blend of magical realism and romantic comedy. The story balances the whimsical aspects of magic with Delia's personal growth, making her an endearing character whose struggles and triumphs are easy to root for. You can't help but love her and all her chaotic and genuine emotions. Max's rigid demeanor quickly bends to Delia's bubbly and sweet southern personality. Who doesn't love it when opposites attract?
It's about discovering who you are, embracing your quirks, and finding love in unexpected places. Whether you're a fan of witchy romantic comedies or just looking for a feel-good read, this book will cast its spell on you.
