You\u2019re officially fake-dating the Not-So-Magicless Maxwell.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Violet and Lincoln grew up together.\u00a0They&#8217;d been childhood enemies, then friends, then high school sweethearts&#8230; until the day they planned to escape his toxic dad, and Lincoln didn&#8217;t show. Fourteen years later, he&#8217;s now the Alpha of the North American Pack and she&#8217;s, well, still the Magicless Maxwell. As the eldest of a set of triplets, Violet should have amazing powers in preparation for assuming the role of Prima, the head witch, from her grandma. Except she&#8217;s a dud with absolutely no magic whatsoever. Her next youngest sister stepped up, instead becoming the heir apparent while Violet avoided as much hobnobbing as possible. But with her sister&#8217;s betrothal to a European alpha with political aspirations, Violet&#8217;s stuck mingling with the paranormal ruling class, including Lincoln. The attraction&#8217;s still there but the trust sure isn&#8217;t. When they both get ultimatums about their marital status, however, a fake relationship sounds the answer to both their problems. After all, they&#8217;re both over each other, right?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have this special thing between us, sweetheart. It\u2019s called mutual agitation. If I wasn\u2019t pissing you off, we wouldn\u2019t be <em>us<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From his first scene, though, it&#8217;s clear that Lincoln&#8217;s never gotten over Violet. He knows he hurt her badly though for plot reasons he can&#8217;t explain what happened. In the intervening years, he&#8217;s dedicated himself to modernizing the shifter power structure.\u00a0Lincoln inherited the position from his father, and unlike him, he&#8217;s working to dismantle the traditional power structure (council of Elders, alpha inheritance) into a, I kid you not, &#8220;shiftocracy,&#8221; which basically means that the packs will elect their own leaders. On the complete other end of the spectrum,\u00a0Violet works as a bartender at a paranormal bar and also volunteers at an after-school program for kids. So, yes, both of them are just unrealistically good people, but whatever, it works. What also really works is their chemistry and their banter.\u00a0Violet&#8217;s sarcastic and not afraid to tell Lincoln exactly what she thinks of him. Rather than turning him off, her honesty is downright refreshing, considering that most people don&#8217;t feel comfortable directly contradicting someone so powerful. He doesn&#8217;t see Violet as any less, however, magic or no, nor does he think that she needs him to fight her battles for her; he knows she&#8217;s perfectly capable of doing that on her own. But no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, Violet can&#8217;t bring herself to trust Lincoln and risk breaking her heart again.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThen keep your spine straight, your chin high, and don\u2019t let that mouth of yours run away.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t run. Sometimes it\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. skips.\u201d<br \/>\nEdie cocked a silver eyebrow.<br \/>\n\u201cSaunters?\u201d Vi corrected. \u201cOkay. On occasion, it may speed-walk, but I can\u2019t always control it. It has a mind of its own.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Luckily that angst is leavened with plenty of humor. From the chapter titles to quirky things like Violet naming her newly awakened magic &#8220;Sparky,&#8221; there&#8217;s a lot of humorous touches throughout the book.\u00a0The secondary characters are fun as well, including Violet&#8217;s sisters Rose and Olive, but especially Grandma Evie. It&#8217;s obvious from the first chapter or so what&#8217;s going to happen in the book, but watching Grandma Evie gently (or not so gently) nudge Violet along down that path, combined with humor, made the journey a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the plot bits don&#8217;t work so well for me. I particularly didn&#8217;t like the curse that kept Lincoln from telling Vi why he didn&#8217;t show up (or the anticlimactic way that problem is solved). I also didn&#8217;t like that Violet didn&#8217;t stand up to her mother more. Her mom treats her as a disappointment and is frankly a terrible human being, as far as I can tell. I mean, she&#8217;s\u00a0so awful that when Violet tells her she&#8217;s dating Lincoln, her mother chastises her for joking and trying to steal attention away from her soon-to-be-married sister. Sure, the rest of her family has her back, so I guess she needed some reason to doubt herself? Whatever the reason, I really didn&#8217;t like it.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, though, this was a quick and light read, full of humor, chemistry, and tropes! Definitely recommended if you&#8217;re looking for a fun paranormal romcom.<\/p>\n<p>Content notes: <span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">violence, child abuse (in the past), bullying, toxic family, misogyny <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much like the cover suggests, this is a hilariously funny second-chance fake-dating paranormal rom-com.
