Summary
As a skilled kitchen witch, Dina Whitlock knows her way around a pastry recipe. In fact, she runs her very own London café serving magic-infused pastries for her loyal customers. But only a select few friends know about her magical abilities or the hex that has plagued her love life. It’s hard to fall in love when your partner is guaranteed to have a string of bad luck the second they start to have feelings for you.
Scott Mason is back from traveling the world and is excited to begin his new job as a curator at the British Museum. After leaving London to heal from a brutal breakup two years ago, Scott only now realizes how much he missed out on. Now that his best friend’s wedding is right around the corner, Scott is determined to be the most amazing best man ever, but he doesn’t expect to be bewitched by the maid of honor, who also happens to be the owner of his new favorite café and, more surprisingly, a witch?!
After a weekend in the countryside full of peculiar hedge mazes, palm readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. But there’s just one problem: The hex still holds, and Dina knows that Scott is in danger. In the past, she’s always cut her losses, but this time is different. Scott could be the one. Will Dina be able to undo the hex, before it’s too late?
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Best Hex Ever originally enchanted me with baking magic. I love Dina’s magical baking, the ways she puts care and intentions into her sweet treats. Even more so, I love the coincidental meet cutes that scream of fate-wants-us-together. There’s instant chemistry and their chance meetings prove that life has a plan for us. That sometimes we are meant to meet someone until we get it right. In Best Hex Ever it’s a story about love and fear. About wanting to be in love, wishing we could be, but also about the danger someone else could be in because of us. The fear for their own life and what it would be to lose them.

Best Hex Ever is fun and sexy. It’s a testament to believing that we are worth the risk. That our love is worth standing in the pouring rain, in the eye of the storm. With forced proximity, shared spaces, and a wedding weekend Best Hex Ever is a delight. Featuring heartwarming scenes of magical community, of families which love us, and friends who have our back, it’s like a big hug. Dina’s journey also explores confronting our fears, of speaking our truths, and learning to love ourselves.
