Not Your Ex's Hexes
by April Asher
This one's a fun, sexy supernatural romp that's enjoyable from beginning to end.
Witch Rose Maxwell finds herself adrift in life when she suddenly finds herself ousted from the position she'd been trained for all her life. She's not mad about it and she's happy to let her sister take her place, but now she has no idea what to do with herself. Until a failed animal rescue lands her doing community hours at an animal sanctuary under the supervision of growly half-demon Damian Adams. Not a bad deal if it weren't for the fact that Damian is the one-night-stand that she can't get out of her head. Meanwhile, Damian has his own issues, the least of which is a hex from an ex that curses his soul if he ever falls in love. Not too bad, until spending time together makes both Rose and Damian realize that there could be so much more between them if they'd only be willing to open up.
Both characters have their good and bad points, which just so happen to be perfect counterbalances to each other. They're also surrounded by interesting side characters that actually contribute to the story in a way that opens up the world and made me want to know more about it and them.
It's the second book in the series and I don't think it's necessary to have read the first one to fully enjoy this one. It might make some of the world and overall situation a bit clearer, but it's not necessary to fully enjoy the great interactions between Rose and Damian.
Overall, it's a very fun story with well-executed sexy times and a perfectly classic rom-com ending. What's not to like?
Happy thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Griffin for the magical read!
