Cordelia Merriweather never believed in magic—until she accidentally breaks a hex and restores her family’s powers. Now, she’s grappling with her new witchy reality and the suspiciously handsome Max next door, who’s either helping her or trying to keep her from causing magical mayhem. As their chemistry heats up, Max wonders if he’s falling for Delia or if she’s cast a spell on his heart. 💖

This audiobook is a fun and cozy treat! Laura Knight Keating brought Delia’s heart and bright demeanor to life, while Zion Jang excellently portrayed the stoic and rational Max. These two narrators were the perfect pair, and they had me rooting for this forbidden romance the whole time! 🥰 It’s an extremely slow burn, so just be willing to wait for those fireworks. 

I also loved hearing about the quirky Merriweathers and their shenanigans. It was such a hoot to watch them discover what was happening under their noses in Willow Root the whole time! However, my favorite moments were between the trio of Nikki, Max, and Luc. Together, they could give the Three Stooges a run for their money! 🐈‍⬛ 

If you’re like me and love witchy romances, be sure to pick up “Hot Hex Boyfriend” when it’s out on September 3rd! 🧡
