Not the Witch You Wed (Supernatural Singles, 1)

A fake relationship between a magic-less witch and a wolf shifter turns to more in the start of a bewitching new paranormal rom-com series.

Magic-less witch Violet Maxwell wants nothing to do with alpha wolf shifter Lincoln Thorne—the man who broke her fragile, teenage heart. But when the two of them are forced by arcane Supernatural Laws to find mates, Violet and Lincoln agree to fake-date their way to a fake-mating in order to conjure themselves some time.

The joke’s on them. When old feelings make a reappearance—along with Violet’s magic—they both realize there’s nothing fake about their feelings. But there are old secrets and looming threats that could snatch away their happily ever after, again. One thing’s for sure: magic doesn’t make dating and love any easier.

In Not the Witch You Wed, April Asher brings all the hilarity and sweet, sexy moments you love in a romantic-comedy—plus a fun dose of magic—to this spell-binding new series about being sexy, single, and supernatural in New York City.

Solid witchy season read to start off a new series. Violet and Lincoln had great banter, tension and love. Love Violets relationship with her triplet sisters, best friends and her Gran. Also, loved the working at a center for kids setting and Linc having fun with the kids. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series and hopefully get some follow-up on the couple!

This was slightly better than A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, but had some of the same problems I had with that book, especially towards the end. The book really hypes Violet up by doing a lot of telling rather than showing, in my opinion. In action she flips between being the stereotypical clumsy girl who can't be trusted to carry a cupcake down a flight of stairs without breaking a hip and a "badass" who can practically control the weather on a whim. This juxtaposition maybe could have worked with some careful writing, but I didn't feel like it did here. In contrast, the book tries to throw Lincoln under the bus and goes the exhausting route of not allowing him to explain himself several times. The story suffers from using plot contrivances to both create and resolve tension, so the drama and victories don't feel earned. Violet's friends annoyed me more than they charmed me. Damn, I guess I have a lot of complaints. Overall this was a decently fun paranormal romance, but I've read better ones and I think my standards were a little too high to just enjoy this as a light popcorn read.

This was great. Hilarious and a cute story. Really liked the plot and the characters are great. I immediately put the next book on hold at my library.

A cute and fun modern day witchy enemies to lovers (back to enemies, back to lovers) tale. It was a little predictable, but sometimes it's just what you need.
