Week 38 Review: Not Your Crush's Cauldron

From Goodreads:

In April Asher's new Supernatural Singles novel, a witch takes a stroll on the wild-ish side, sparking an alert that saddles her with her very own Guardian Angel…who happens to be her secret crush―and new roommate.

Olive Maxwell much prefers teaching about the supernatural world to taking part in it and leaves the magical shenanigans to her two sisters―the Prima-Apparent and Bounty Hunter-In-Training. But after assigning her college students a project designed to nudge them outside their comfort zones, Olive realizes that she's never once stepped a toe over her own…and it's about time that changed. Her first trip into the unknown? Moving in with her long-time crush―and friend…tattooed, motorcycle-riding, and pleasantly pierced, Baxter Donovan.

Bax Donovan, Guardian Angel not-so-extraordinaire, has acquired so many black marks on his record it looked like a scantron sheet. He's given one last chance to keep his Guardian wings intact, a high-profile Assignment he knows all too well. Olive is usually as low-risk as it got. Hell, she wrote the safety manual. But something landed her on the Guardian Affairs radar and his guess was it had something to do with the heart-pounding stunts she's determined to check off her Dare I Docket list.

Keeping Olive out of trouble is about to be his toughest assignment yet, and not because he's forced to shake the dust off his feathers and embrace his inner aerialist. He's at real risk of shattering the only Guardian Angel Code of Conduct Rule he's yet to Don't fall in love with your Assignment. And he isn't so sure that's a bad thing.

If love didn't play by the rules, why should they?

My Review:
This was another fantastic romance! I've been loving getting these stories of the Maxwell Triplets! They are all different people, and have different romances, and I've loved each one! They're all exploring different parts of this world, and I love it! 

Olive is a very structured person, she has outfits of the days, she loves research, and she's firmly in her comfort zone. Which is pretty much the opposite of her proposed program for the school, for a cultural exchange of students, because the change of when the supernatural's came out, people still have to learn and grow and change, it can't drop off! 

Really, Bax was in a dilemma. He had a bad record, he's broken most of the rules but one-not falling in love with an assignment. So of course getting Olive, who he did have a crush on, and now lives with, yeah, that wasn't the best idea, but there weren't any good options open to him. The fact that he didn't enjoy his job, it wasn't his passion, added a layer to everything going on. But it was so cute to watch them work on her Dare I Docket! 

One thing that I loved, is that there is the miscommunication trope in this book. But it's not one-sided to rectify it, they both try to fix things, and that just made that ending all the more happier, that they both worked on their relationship! 

This was a wonderful read, and if there is more in this series, I'll definitely read it!
