Our very last triplet witch is still unattached in the romance department in NOT YOUR CRUSH’S CAULDRON and she is forced by her sisters to relocate in the hopes of gaining a social life. Luckily, or perhaps, unluckily enough, her new roommate is her Guardian Angel, a hunk she has a huge crush on and who, interestingly enough, has very fond feelings for her as well. How will these two supernaturals handle there somewhat-natural feelings? Not as well as they might have hoped. But definitely in an entertaining fashion for readers who have enjoyed the previous two books. I received my copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

In April Asher’s next Supernatural Singles novel, Not Your Crush's Cauldron, a buttoned-up witch takes a stroll on the wildish side, sparking an alert that lands her a familiar Guardian Angel.

I enjoyed the first two books in this series and was excited to see what happened in the third book! I felt I related to Olive, being a more introverted main character. Her dare docket is something I needed in life! We follow her challenging herself to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Bax is the swoon-worthy bad boy guardian angel with a soft spot for Olive. Romance tropes include forced proximity and opposites attract. I thought they were played out well. That being said, I had a hard time staying connected to this book. I found myself skimming a lot.

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 2/13!

Cute next installment following witch Olive and guardian angel Bax. It held my attention but didn't GRAB me. Olive tries to expand her comfort zone while Bax is trying to stay between the lines. Predictable but fun.

I loved the first 2 books in the Supernatural Singles series! And this third Installment, Not Your Crush's Cauldron was just as fun and magical! I did feel like this one started a little bit slower and didn't feel as high stakes with conflict setup as the previous 2 books, however, I loved Olive and Bax together. I lved that there was a "softness" to Bax and he wasn't all hard edges outside and inside. Their chemistry was fun to watch grow on the page! What I love most about this book is how much we get of the friend group; and of the other two Maxwell sisters being that Bad-Ass Bwitch selves! April Asher has created such a wonderful contemporary fantasy world and I love being immersed in it!

This is the third in the Supernatural Singles series. I love the strong female characters and the friend dynamics. It is a fun read with magic, guardian angels, danger, and some daddy drama.

This is book #3 in a series, I didn't know that at first but I'm glad I read the other two first. This could be a standalone though, the other two are connected but do not need to be read beforehand. For me, Olive & Bax have amazing chemistry following a slow build up. It was an okay addition to the series but I felt it lacked the drama and almost suspenseful feelings that the 1st two had.

I soooo wanted to love this, it was one of my first requests after discovering my newfound love of these cutesy paranormal but I just could not get into this. I gave it a really valiant effort, but too much piercing fixation, not enough actual likablity from the fmc. MMC was fine but throw in the 3rd person pov and I was just completely checked out.

Also, no one from NY calls it “the” sunrise highway. It’s just sunrise highway. Or sunrise.

A guardian angel who gives her the nickname Angel. Stop being so cute. I loved reading this book, it was cute, it was fun and lighthearted. Bax and Olive are supportive of each other, he gave her his room because it had a balcony and he thought she would love to read and put a little table there. Very entertaining forced proximity.

I enjoyed this book it was a light-hearted read with a lot of humor, romance, and supernatural. Olive, is a sweet and nerdy heroine with a hidden wild side. Bax is a charming and sexy hero, who likes Olive . Their chemistry was sizzling and their banter was hilarious. The story is fast-paced and engaging, with some twists and surprises.
This is the third in this series but can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the previous books in the series as well, as it will give you some background into the sisters and some love interest
Overall, Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher is a delightful and satisfying paranormal romance that will make you laugh. If you are looking for a fun and easy read with a touch of magic, this book is for you.

Thank you to SMP Romance for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.

Olive is the third triplet in the Supernatural Singles series. She is the academic with a routinized wardrobe. And when she challenges her students to step out of their comfort zone, she realizes she needs to do the same. Bax, her friend turned roommate, offers to help her complete her list of dares. But he doesn't tell her that he has other reasons to keep her close.

I am so glad to see Olive and Bax finally getting together. His character is amazing, playing up the tension between tattooed bad boy and guardian angel so well. And his fear of heights just adds to their interactions. I loved the way the two of them challenged each other and pushed each other throughout.

And of course, Olive's interactions with her sisters and grandmother are amazing. Those triplet stories have been what has given this series heart throughout, and I love getting to see them all together again. Add in magic, a great world, and some of my favorite tropes, and this was a really fun read.

Again, it was the title that caught my eye on Netgalley. Having read (and enjoyed) Not your Ex's Hexes, I decided to request the arc for the last of the Maxwell sisters.

As you may already know: the series is about the Maxwell sisters, witches who live in New York. In this part we follow Olive, whereas Violet and Rose have gotten her HEA in Not The Witch You Wed and Not your Ex's Hexes.

I was already curious about Bax's story, so I was very happy to see that he would be starring in this story. Of course, also Edie (the grandmother and Prima, who is stepping down in favour of Violet) and Olive's sisters (with their boyfriends) make an appearance in this part as well. Edie is still the most funny character, but I also loved Olive's BFF.

The story of Olive and Bax, is cute, funny and sweet. So, four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Being back with the Maxwell sisters in their magical world is simply a treat. Sparks are flying between Bax and Olive, and to say things get spicy would be an understatement. The characters in this series are fun, sassy, smart, and loyal to each other. I have enjoyed every book so far and hope Harper's story is coming soon.

I will share my true thoughts on this book at whatever time St Martins Press decides to address the three demands of the boycott from Readers for Accountability.

I was excited to read the next installment in April's Supernatural Singles series. While the first two books were complete bangers. This one just didn't grab hold of me as hard as the others did. That's not to say that I didn't like it. I still rated it 4 stars.

I love Olive and her academic self. I also really liked Bax's motorcycle riding guardian angel personality. The forced proximity with them being roommates and also Olive becoming his "assignment" gave the story interesting elements. Both characters are going through real life mortal problems and that makes the plot relatable. They're trying to find themselves, try new things, and work on confidence in their own ways.

I enjoyed seeing cameos from Olive's sisters and their guys. I also loved the side plot involving the grandmother. Overall it was still really cute.

This is the third book in this series following the last of the Baxter triplets. I loved the other two books in this series and was excited to finally get Olive's book! I absolutely vibed and connected with her the most out of the sisters and loved the way she is not only with her friends and family but also with her students and how she goes about tiptoeing out of her comfort zone. Baxter is like sex on a stick but also so nice and sweet! I think he is the perfect package, and he and Olive make an amazing couple. This book was fun, full of emotion, and also had me laughing out loud and swooning at the adorable and sexy moments between our couple.

I look forward to reading what April Asher comes out with next! I hope we get more from this world as I'm not quite ready to leave this magical place behind!

This is such a cute (& steamy) series!!! Yes this is the third and you will miss some things by reading this first but it would still be worth it. (But do yourself a favor and go get the first two)

The author has an amazing way of writing believable supernatural characters. The storyline is a cute romance with a little witchy flair. Holy cannoli on the imagery too.

“You are the reason I broke the third rule, angel.“

I absolutely loved the third book for the last sister. It was absolutely adorable. Loved this match up; it fits perfectly with how their personalities are.
Honestly can’t wait to see what April has planned for everyone next.

Note: I share this review for the AUTHOR only. I have not tagged the publishing company due to never addressing the issue of there not being an apology.

Thanks to St. Martin's Griffin, April Asher, and NetGalley for an ARC of the final book in the Supernatural Singles series, Not Your Crush's Cauldron!

I really enjoyed the previous two books in this fun and lighthearted series about triplet witches in New York, and how they find love. This book focuses on Olive, the youngest sister, and Bax, a Guardian Angel who has been struggling to protect his latest assignments. The two have been circling each other for months, and now that they are roommates, the forced proximity is about to make things explode between them...

Olive and Bax were very cute together, and I enjoyed the room-mance, forced proximity, and Olive's efforts to expand her comfort zone. The spice was also just as good as in the previous installments in the series. I felt like some of the witchy puns were a little too heavy handed this time rather than being witty and funny, but overall it was a fun and easy read.

Another fun, sexy witchy romance by April! Olive has been my favorite of the Maxwell triplets since book one, so I was excited to finally get to read her story and it didn’t disappoint. Cheeky, light-hearted, and plenty of spice—this was a fun, low-emotional-stakes read. And I was really glad that the banter in this one felt much more natural and less forced than it was in book two!

Looking forward to the next book in April’s supernatural world!

Not my Crush’s Cauldron is the third book in the Supernatural Singles series by April Asher. I have read the second but not the first in the series. This can be read standalone but the characters from previous books are side characters in this one.

Olive Maxwell is the youngest triplet of the Maxwell witches. With her other two sisters settled with mates and career paths, Olive is trudging along her own mundane path.

Olive is a professor and department head at her local university. Challenging her students to step outside their comfort zone’s for their term project. After accidentally overhearing many of her colleagues poke fun at her own inability to step outside her comfort zone she decides to do the project with them.

Baxter Donavan is a guardian angel, always working and never enough time to socialize. As he spends a bit more time with his new roommate Olive Maxwell, he’s reminded of the crush he’s had on her over the years.

After being called into Guardian Angel head office he’s given a special assignment to watch over a VIP. After botching the last couple of assignments he knows he’s on his last chance to keep his wings.

When Baxter realizes the special assignment is actually Olive he knows he can’t break the rules and tell her. He decides to do her “out of comfort zone” list with her to ensure her safety. He soon realizes he loves spending time with her anyway. Their relationship starts to get blurred between friendship, lovers and protective.

I really enjoyed Olive and Baxters story. Wonderful adventures, strong friendships and spicy bedroom fun! This is a four star read for me and I highly recommend the series if you’re into witches, super natural relationships and spice.
