Synopsis (Goodreads):

The second in an adorable witchy rom-com series by New York Times bestselling author Ann Aguirre, perfect for fans of:

• Ride-or-die female friendships
• A bisexual heroine who stubbornly refuses to accept help
• A hero with an incredibly pesky moral conscience
• A mouse named Benson who may or may not have all the answers to life, magic, and love (Spoiler: he does!)

Clementine Waterhouse is a perfectly logical witch. She doesn't tumble headlong into love. Rather she weighs the pros and cons and decides if a relationship is worth pursuing. At least that's always been her modus operandi before. Clem prefers being the one in charge, always the first to walk away when the time is right. Attraction has never struck her like lightning.

Until the witch hunter comes to town.

Gavin Rhys hates being a witch hunter, but his family honor is on the line, and he needs to prove he's nothing like his grandfather, a traitor who let everyone down. But things in St. Claire aren't what they seem, and Gavin is distracted from the job immediately by a bewitching brunette with a sexy smile and haunting secrets in her eyes.

Can the bossiest witch in town find a happy ending with the last person she should ever love?

Thoughts on Boss Witch: Witchy Clem and her new witch hunter hunny-bunny are up and...things are complicated. I mean, Clem is already complicated (a lifetime of sucking things up and getting them done because no one else will starts to wear on a lady) and Gavin is just as complicated. Which is shocking, really because Clem seems like she'd have a lock on that. But no. Gavin is toeing the line right next to her.

First off, witch hunters, man. What's up with that? I mean, Gavin just rolls into town and confirms witchiness and things go sideways for the poor witches? Not cool. But Gavin's not loving his job and he's starting to question if he's doing the right thing. Tangling up with Clem (even not knowing that she has certain supernatural talents) has that spark of longing to give it up and settle down flare even higher.

Meanwhile, Clem's dealing with her toxic grandmother, her parentals and their issues, and her slow-growing resentment over how she constantly has to pick up the slack for others, all while trying to distract the witch hunter from figuring out who the witches in town are. She has A LOT going on. (And frankly, her grandmother's machinations were awful. Just not fun for anyone involved.)

A little danger, a little magic, a special mouse, a lot of sparks, and the uncovering of a truth that has been hidden for far too long. *thumbs up*
