Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher

4.0

I know this is a witchy read, but I've been itching to read this since October!! Figured I'd bust it out. 
I listened to part while at work & read other parts while on lunch/break. So, I consumed this book utilizing both of these media platforms. 

Quick Summary - Olive moves into Baxters apartment - they both are attracted to one another but never pursue it. Olive has a Docket List project about performing tasks that take you out of your comfort zone, and because of this, Bax is assigned as her Guardian angel. He helps her complete the list, keeping her safe the entire way, and also pleasures her multiple times. This roommate, forced prox, forbidden relationship brings the two to the realization that they love one another. 

I absolutely adore Olive, even as a side character in the prior two books. Her shy, bookish, quirkyness has always been a fun addition to the world. She's funny, level-headed, and always so kind & sweet. 
Bax was kind of a mystery in the prior books. He was a good friend, always around, and you could tell that he had Olives' attention, but his intentions & personality were well hidden. During this book, you learn he is truly a warm cinnamon roll, a bit heavy on the cinnamon, but still super gooey. He is heavily tattooed & rides a motorcycle, totally broody, and we learn of all of his piercings (🪜). He is an artist at heart. He doodles/draws and actually uses the tattoo gun. 

Anyways. I loved this one just as much as the others. I loved that Bax helped with an impromptu dance routine for the competition. That was so fun. 
I loved the *winged action* 
I loved the way these two fell in love.
I loved that Olive kept evading him, gave him a run for his money & truly made him grovel. 
I loved that Bax gave a big Ole middle finger to his dad.
