5/5 stars! Gah! I just love everything April Asher writes so much! This is the third entry in her Supernatural Singles. I am obsessed with Bax and Olive. Their chemistry was off the charts and honestly, Bax is f*cking sexy bad boy goals. I also have a soft spot for fallen angel vibes sooooo I may be biased. I cannot wait to see what April writes next.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

OMG am I obsessed with the all the characters! Bax is literally sweetest Guardian Angel ever and didn’t deserve the grumpy bear sticker on his bike lol. I loved how Olive and Bax’s relationship progressed throughout the book. I’m glad to see how in the end Bax and Olive were able to understand each other and work out what had happened. And now I want to see Olive’s tattoo and Bax’s wings in real life. Everyone needs someone like Harper if they plan to step out of their comfort zone, although my choice would be someone like Bax always! The only thing that left me wanting to know more was the fact that we didn’t learn much about both Bax’s mom and Olive’s parents.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review!

This book is the third book in this series and its about Olive the third sister. After reading the first two books I was so ready for this one. Check out my review for Not The Witch You Wed and Not Your Ex's Hexes.

So far these books have been amazing I loved the first two books and couldn’t wait to read this one. I could feel the tension growing between these two from the first book I was so ready!

Olive is the smartest of the triplets and is super into research and learning. She lives a very predictable lifestyle and always have. Her sisters are completely opposite of her and love causing chaos so she's resigned herself to being the calm triplet.

But now she's becoming tired of being the boring triplet and not living life to the fullest. So she decides to do the assignment she gives her class herself. She needs to step out of her comfort zone and what better way to do it?

While doing all of this she is now living with her long time crush and finds it hard to be around him but she has no other choice at this point.

Bax heard Olive needed a place to stay and he offered up his home right away, even though he's been crushing hard on Olive for all the time that he's known her he can't leave her in the situation that she's currently in.

“It’s my pleasure, angel.” His arms followed, holding her cold cheek against his chest. “I’m at your service, forever and always.”

Bax is a guardian angel doesn’t love his job as a guardian angel but thinks he has no choice because of his family, there have been generations of Donovan's that have been guardians. Warrior guardians at that and his dad already thinks he's a failure because he couldn’t become a warrior.

Now Bax is tasked with being Olive's guardian and has to keep her out of trouble while not stifling her. He wants her to do what she wants but keep her safe so he has to stick to her side.

While Bax and Olive start to take on the items on the docket list they start to get closer and closer and you can feel the chemistry between the two.

“Yes, being your Guardian gave me the opportunity to be close to you. It gave me the chance to dance with you and make snow angels in the park. All the things we did together that I will remember for the rest of my life. But you’re the reason I did it.”

And then one day things get intense and it's everything I wanted it to be. For being an angel he sure does have a filthy mouth. Let just say things get hot between the Angel and the Witch.

I absolutely loved every minute of this book and all the heat between Olive and Bax, this was a slow burn but there were moments in this book when I thought there was going to be more action but it was definitely a tease. Which only made the build up even better.

And the relationship with her sisters and Harper was the best! Friends that are always there no matter what, by her side helping when she needs it the most. I loved how they all pitched in to help her complete her list. True friends!

I also loved to see how Olive's friends was with Harper was, not only did she have her sisters and their mates but Harper was always there for her.

This book was everything I wanted and more. I hope there is another book for Harper's story because she's such an important part of all these books we need her story.

I have read this series since it’s beginning and with each sisters book I fall more in love with this world. I am hoping that this isn’t the last of it because through each book we meet more amazing characters and I just don’t want it to end!

Olive is the “youngest” triplet and also the more reserved one. She’s happiest when she’s surrounded by all things collegiate, or so we thought! As part of a push to get a grant Olive finds herself pushing her boundaries and going out of her comfort zone. With her new found Lust for all things wild her best friend and roomie Bax has no choice but to tag along to make sure she doesn’t go too far over the line!!

I love that Bax is this big burly angel and yet he’s scared of so much. He’s a lot softer than he looks and he only reserves that softness for Olive! These two just fit!! I loved their chemistry and just how well they made sense! The way Bax tends to Olive and cares for her is just mesmerizing. Olives ability to read Bax and call him on his BS is hilarious because no one keeps him on his toes more than her!

The steam in this book took a bit to come but when it did, it’s explosive and will have you fanning yourself!!

What I loved about this book the most was the continuation of a small storyline and seeing the sisters come full circle! Seeing them grow through the books and find love and themselves has been magical and I hope to see them again!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another fun installment of the Maxwell sisters! I think I enjoyed the first two a little more than this one but it might just be that this is a busy, distracting, time of year for me. There was still plenty of banter, fun puns, and spicy scenes. It's nice that we still get to see a little of the other two sisters as well and how their lives are progressing. And honestly, Gran is just the coolest.

This may not come out for a little while but there are two others out to pick up and read first!

Olive finally gets her time to shine in this spicy supernatural romcom by April Asher. The first two novels took us through the lives of 2/3 of the witchy Maxwell triplets and I L-O-V-E-D each and every page of the entire series...this far?? Professor Olive Maxwell may be the youngest sister but this friends to roommates to lovers, not so forced proximity romance and my heart continuously skipping a beat.

I really hope this is not the end for Supernatural Singles!! Please oh please give us Harper next --> our lil sex demon needs some loving from one or more partners

Thank you eternally for an ARC 😍🪄🧙🏻‍♀️

This book s a delightful, and witty paranormal romance that is both heartwarming and full of laughter! This friends to lovers romance along with some magic and some laughs makes for a wonderful story. I really enjoyed Olive’s character growth - I thought it was done really well and Bax was a perfect fit for her. I also loved the fact that both had "unrequited" crushed on each other and were trying to find a way to cohabitate with each other and be friends with one another in an attempt not to ruin everything that they already have with each other.
This was a great follow up to the series and I would recommend it to anyone who asks!

The third book in the Supernatural Singles series was another winner. April Asher has rekindled my love of magical romcoms, and I’m hoping there is at least one more book left in the series after this one… maybe two???

We met Olive and Bax in the previous two books, and I knew their story would be good. Friends to lovers with a twist. A roommate romance between a witch and an angel.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Watch for Not Your Crush’s Cauldron to come out February 13, 2024.

I was excited to get a ARC of this book as I have read the other two in the series and was not disappointed by Olive and Bax’s story. It was no surprise that these two were the next heroes of the storyline for the Maxwell Sisters. I didn’t know what to think of olive in the other books. I usually seem to have issues with some of the side characters and finding a connection with them. I was a little worried with bookish Olive, and how I would identify or connect with them. However, the challenge the Olive took on to ensure that she was stepping outside of your comfort zone was one that I really appreciated and helped me ground into liking the character. The author does really good job of setting up the backstory for Bax as well. He was our mysterious angel, and not knowing how his storyline was going to fit in was intriguing. This book can be read as a standalone, but more enjoyable, as part of the Maxwell story.



Note to editor I did find quite a few mistakes that I highlighted in the text. I’m sure if you’re able to see what people highlight with NetGalley. Here’s a quick list to explore.

CH 17 Pg 210
‘when did approach you? And Where?
Bax talking to Olive about Bax’s Father. Missing | he or my father| after When did.

Ch 18 Pg 213
Figured behind on hand…. Should this be ‘figured BEING on hand… instead?

Ch 19 pg 222
The numbers were trouble. 1. 1. In the list. All 10 were double, but sure if a NetGalley issue or digital overall issue.

Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher is a delightful, and witty paranormal romance that is both heartwarming and full of laughter! This friends to lovers romance along with some magic and some laughs makes for a wonderful story. I really enjoyed Olive’s character growth - I thought it was done really well and Bax was a perfect fit for her. Them secretly crushing on each other gave me all the warm and fuzzies.
This really could have been a 5 star read for me if some of the writing wasn’t so very corny! I liked the main characters and the overall story, but moments that could have been delightful smut were ruined with corny lines and nicknames. Also, a male protagonist calling the female lead “angel” all the time annoyed me (especially because he's a literal angel and it kept confusing me).
But, overall, if you love a fun romcom set in a world where supernatural beings and normal people reside together, then you're going to love this one. Every now and then you need a good paranormal romance to mix things up a bit and this romance did just that!

This is the third installment in the Supernaturnal Singles series. Olive is the “youngest” triplet witch and on a journey to step out of her comfort zone. Bax, her Guaridan Angel roommate, offers to help her along the way.

This is a friends to lovers story with lots of good banter and found family. This one was cute but I still think Rose’s story is my favorite of the three. I hope to see a book for Harper in the near future.

Olive Maxwell's comfort zone has taken a hit lately: both of her sisters have found their true mates, and Olive has changed apartments, moving into a much nicer place thanks to sexy Guardian Angel Baxter Donovan. She has spent plenty of time ignoring the steamy fantasies he inspires, but a new assignment for her Supernatural Studies students to stretch beyond their comfort zones has her reconsidering her own. And Bax would definitely be a big stretch for her.

Bax knows he's not the greatest Guardian Angel, but he does try. Unfortunately, his latest imperfect save lands him before the GA commissioner, who hands him a last-chance assignment: protecting Olive. Bax has long resisted his attraction to the witch, and he knows that falling in love with an Assignment is a big no-no. But when Olive starts exploring the items on her Dare-It Docket, Bax knows he needs to stick close to her and protect her -- and his own heart.

I've really been enjoying this Supernatural Singles series, and the tension between Olive and Bax has been building up over two books, so it's a delight to discover more about them and to watch them find their HEA. Olive's the sensible, studious one of the Maxwell triplets, the bookish witch I totally relate to, and watching her take tentative steps toward challenging herself in new ways was such a treat. Bax's bad-boy image is, of course, a cover for a tender heart that completely belongs to Olive, so I enjoyed seeing him recognize his own feelings and make the effort to prove himself to her. Both of them have to learn what they want outside of family expectations, which makes their ending even better.

Another fun, fast-paced, and steamy story about some of my favorite supernaturals. (Will Harper get her story, too?) 4 stars.

Thank you, St Martin's and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

"Everyone has a spark of Magic, and when you follow it, there really is no possibility of straying from your true path."

The third book in the Supernatural Singles series, and it focuses on our last Maxwell sister, Olive. Moving in with a gorgeous tattooed Angel shouldn't be so bad, right? Unless you have been crushing on him since forever, and are worried he'll totally see right through your facade of being just a friend with your forced proximity.

I really enjoy the way Asher writes this series, and makes sure each book is totally different with the tropes and the storyline, so it doesn't feel like we are reading the same supernatural romance over and over again.

Olive is a professor who has chosen an assignment for her class to expand their horizons and try new things. But when she realizes she shouldn't make her class do this if she isn't willing to partake as well. Her Guardian Angel roommate decides to step in and assist her out of her comfort zones. Which makes this an uncomfortable situation since Bax has just been given a Guardian Angel assignment to Olive, and Rule #1 of their code: Don't tell your assignment that you are watching over them.

This is an entertaining series, with all of the sisters getting in crazy situations. It seems like we might get another one for our favorite BFF succubus, so I'll be keeping a lookout for another Supernatural Singles book in the future 😍

Love the Maxwell triplets! It was fun seeing Olive come out of her shell and also more of Bax. Some really funny moments having to do with stuff on Olives list which seems like something we should all try to do every once in a while. I love how this series follows one couple but has so many moments with all the other characters. I really hope we get Harper and Adrian's book!

The third book in the series. Love the first 2 books and this one is even funnier. Olive is the third triplet and she falls in love with Bax her guardian angel. Love their fun banter. The pop culture jokes are terrific. Always love seeing how supportive the sisters to each other. A really enjoyable fun book.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Did I immediately drop all my reading plans to read this one? Yes, yes I did.

Zero regrets. Absolutely loved.

If you're a fan of the first two in the series, you're going to love this one. Bax is exactly the huge, smooshy, tattooed (and pierced [insert naughty wink]) cinnamon roll we all suspected him to be. And him and Olive are so cute together. I adored how supportive he was of her.

There is a bit of pining, the obligatory bump into each other while one is only wearing a towel scene, near kisses, and everything else that makes a friends to lovers/forced proximity romance so much fun. Just a quick, funny, spicy, and highly entertaining read.

I adored this book! This was a cute, fun, sweet read. I usually don’t go for friends-to-lovers trope, but this was a fun read. Bax was endearing. And call Olive angel?! 🫠 🥰 I recommend it for a fun light read with spice 🥵

What can I say about the third book to this cozy rom com? It’s perfect for the girlies who want alittle more alternative guys then what the first two love interest. I love Olive being a total nerd and just owning who she is by the end of the book. The Bax is a complete cinnamon roll himbo from cover to cover. It’s a definitely she fell first but he fell harder moment, I appreciate how the story goes in with the other two of the series. Definitely a good quick read that is the perfect cozy moment.

Thanks to netgalley and publisher for this arc!

I was so excited to finally get Baz's book and I'm hoping Adrian and Harper are next. So the great... I adoredddd Baz and Olive, they had love spice heat and funny banter! Baz is such a tatted up softie and Olive is a nerdy mess but at her age which is a year older than me she was a bit too naive and awkward in some ways it was borderline ridiculous and annoying.

What I didn't like was the whole plot it fell a bit flat sadly to me and even the inclusion of the sisters I loved felt semi annoying when I just wanted more Baz and Olive one on one time and growth, also the whole grandma plot was unnecessary and took up too much space in book. Also 300 pages is a bit too long for romance book and there were parts that could have been cut and would have helped book.

Another great read from April! This one was my fave out of the 3 witchy sisters! It was adorable. I loved the characters; they were extremely relatable, despite the fact that they were super natural... It was a fun, spicy read! Def recommend!!
