I was excited to be able to read and review this story because I thoroughly enjoyed the first book that showcased one of the other sisters.
This upcoming story is about sister number two and it is a cute, enjoyable read that you definitely want to check out. Read my thoughts below.

OVERVIEW:
For her entire life, Rose Maxwell trained to become the next Prima on the Supernatural Council. Now that she’s stepped down, it’s time for this witch to focus on herself. And not think about her impulsive one-night stand with Damian Adams, a half-Demon Veterinarian who she can’t get out of her head. Neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when Rose is sentenced to community service at Damian’s animal sanctuary it becomes impossible for them to ignore their sparking attraction. A friends-with-benefits, no feelings, no strings arrangement works perfectly for them both.
After a sequence of dead-end jobs, it’s not until Rose tangos with two snarly demons that she thinks she’s finally found her path. However, this puts Damian back on the periphery of a world he thought he left behind. He doesn’t approve of Rose becoming a Hunter, but if there’s one thing he’s learned about the stubborn witch, it was telling her not to do something was one sure-fire way to make sure she did.
Working―and sleeping―together awakens feelings Damian never knew he had…and shouldn’t have. Because thanks to his ex’s hex, if he falls in love, he’ll not only lose his heart―but his humanity.
Not Your Ex’s Hexes by April Asher Review
I was really looking forward to this book! One of the best parts of the story truly is Damian. He is a strong character who has changed his life for the better. Kind, giving, a tad grumpy, with a heart of gold.
Rose is a fun-loving, scattered gal who wears her heart on her sleeve, is overrun by sisters, and is totally focused on Damian and helping his business.
This story is a humorous, lighthearted book and Asher takes it to another level that grabs you. There were some spots where it really felt like she was pushing hard for something to be humorous when it truly wasn’t.
The banter seemed overdone in places especially when there was a little tension and the story ramped up with a little suspenseful activity, that’s really not the time for three paragraphs of banter. It almost seemed like the whole storyline was bantering whether it was between the sisters which also felt overdone and also Rose and Damien.
I really truly enjoyed the story overall. I just wish that Rose was not as stubborn and took things a bit more seriously. That is what really put a damper on my overall enjoyment. But you may love it!
