The first book in a new supernatural romance series. I loved the banter, the characters and the magic elements. This book was fun. It left me smiling. If you're looking for a fast paced, steamy romance check this one out. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC from netgalley in exchange for a review.
This supernatural rom-com was the perfect fast paced read I needed while I was in a reading slump. The fake relationship trope was well done and whole story in general was very intriguing. This book is perfect for anyone that is in the mood for a fast read about an alpha wolf shifter and a witch falling back in love. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

I picked this up as a cute, witchy, Halloween romance to read. It was absolutely adorable, a little spicey, and honestly could be read at any point of the year!
The book follows Violet and Lincoln. Violet is a 'magicless' witch (her powers have yet to make an appearance in her life); she's the firstborn of triplets, she's a curvy queen and she's super feisty and sassy. Linconn is an alpha wolf-shifter, tall dark and handsome, he's cool, confident and progressive. Violet and Lincoln have a past - they were childhood friends and high school sweethearts. But he broke her heart years ago, and she's never been the same since.
The book takes place in New York City. The world building is pretty fun; Asher integrates the supernatural world with the normal human world; everyone co-exists. In short, you have the "Supes" and the "Norms". Along with the co-existence, the supernatural world has their own sort of, government' you could say. Lincoln is the head of the North American Pack (NAP), and Violet's grandmother is the Prima Apparent (head of the witches). Based on archaic laws, Violet and Lincoln both find themselves needing to find their one true mate, or else they'll be forced into marriages they don't want.
So, out of convenience, and their past, queue the fake dating agreement. What starts off as a way to get everyone off their backs for a while, turns into old feelings resurfacing between the two, a growing attraction, and secrets coming to light. Before they can get their happy ending, they need to find themselves first, and accept who they truly are.
Not the Witch You Wed is a first person/dual POV. The book is full of moments that are funny, sweet, and spicey. It's an entertaining read all the way through!

I received a digital ARC from NetGalley.
This was a light but steamy paranormal read, shades of "True Blood" without the darkness, with some "Charmed" tossed in. One of the better romances in the latest craze of witch meet-cutes. Violet and Lincoln sucked me in, and the world building was pretty good, fleshed out just enough for our understanding. The fake dating trope works here and last longer than other books trying to pull off the same thing (only to have it crumble all of a few chapters in). Some plot points you see coming but a good romance makes you excited for them, anyway. Some pretty funny (even hilarious) banter, and a nice set up for what looks like three more books in the series. Looking forward to them!

I enjoyed this book. The beginning was a little slow, but I felt that it picked up quickly, and it never slowed down.
