AHHH THIS BOOK!!! What starts out as a business arrangement turns into an adorable friendship between Bowen & Tamsyn. Something happens in December 2024 that brings them into December 1957 and are two characters now have to figure out how the heck they are getting back to their own time.

This read had so many things to love: time travel, witchy and steamy moments, loveable side characters, amusing banter, and such amazing chemistry between Bowen & Tamsyn.

My only complaint is the ending felt a bit rushed, and I had to reread it to understand what had just happened, wish there had just been an extra chapter, it felt like something was missing.

Overall this story was great for curling up on the couch with a nice cup of tea. Despite being centered around Yule I still felt all the cozy fall vibes and can't wait to add this to my shelf!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. Special Thanks to NetGalley, Avon, and Erin Sterling for sending me this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts!

"The Wedding Witch" is available on October 15, 2024. I would like to thank the Publisher and Author for providing an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley.

2.5 stars rounded up.

To be fair, I wasn't aware that this book was an installment in a series, so there were times when I was a bit confused as I hadn't read the two prior books. The two main characters in the book are Bowen, a powerful witch, and Tamsyn, a magical item bounty hunter. It's your typical romance novel with a spooky, witchy spin. At times, the book (and Bowen and Tamsyn's relationship) felt very rushed, and the ending left me wanting more. Overall, I think it was a quick and easy read, but it wasn't my favorite.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️ 🌶️/5, open door, explicit, 3 scenes

Feelings after turning the last page: What a cute little Halloween AND Christmas book 🙈😍.

Review: This book was so fun! Lighthearted and sweet with the perfect balance of plot and spice. Bowen is probably my favorite Penhallow brother, and Tamsyn was so fun too! The time travel was a great twist and it was so well done. I do think the ending was too quick! I wanted more! Overall this was so cute and a great way to round out the Penhallow brothers. Perfect for a Christmas OR Halloween read 😉❤️.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review!!!

A cute fall romance read. Bowen and Tamsyn are co workers looking for magical items and are transported 50 years past. Now they have to work together to get back to the present. A lovely romance, light hearted read.

The third installment of the Ex Hex series, we’re finally getting Bowen Penhallow’s story…with a familiar face. He’s an occasional customer of acquirer Tamsyn Bligh. When asked by an old friend to go to a Yuletide wedding in the Welsh countryside, the last person he expects to see there is Tamsyn who is on her own mission. A magical artifact combined with a spell gone bad transports the two to another wedding at the same estate…in 1957. And they have to work together to solve why they were sent there and how to get home.
Loved this and really liked the Christmas atmosphere so this can work for fall or winter.
Thank you to NetGalley and Headline Eternal for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars

cute, cozy, and fast read! i love this sweet series so much <333

thank u netgalley for the arc!

This was my favourite book of the series!

The slow burn was incredible and had me rooting for them from the get go. I loved the grumpy x sunshine relationship between them. Bowen is the best version of a grunting gentleman and Tamsyn is everything he needs to bring him out of his shell!

I enjoyed that we got out of Graves End for this one and saw a bit more of Wales. The haunted mansion setting was perfect for this book, especially with the time travel element. I would definitely recommend this to be read at Christmas time as it has a lot of holiday vibes.

I thoroughly enjoyed how descriptive this novel was. I was fully immersed in this world and truly felt what the characters were feeling. I, of course, read the two before this one; however, this has to be my favorite. The enemies to lovers plot, the setting, the magic... please never let this series end! Cannot wait to recommend this book to everyone when it comes out

I really enjoyed how this book started out. The back-and-forth exchange between Bowen and Tamsyn was so much fun and it was so cute! Just delightful. However, I do think that the love portion of this story was a little underdeveloped. It felt that after the beginning that was it, we were expected to believe those messages were all it took. I don’t know, it was just a little too much insta love to be believable for me, the connection was missing. However, despite the romance not being there, the spicy scenes were a lot of fun and well done. I also enjoyed the time travel aspect of the book. The nods to the other books in the series were nice, though if you haven’t read the other two it won’t ruin this one for you so you can read it as a stand-alone. Though it is a really cute series, I do recommend reading it. The mystery element of the story was also nice and well done. Overall and enjoyable read if you can get past the

If you are looking for the perfect light and witchy holiday romance, then this is the book for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5! I absolutely ADORE this series it’s all you could ever want if you’re into witches and Halloween (even if you’re not definitely give this series a shot🤪) this book might be my new favorite in the series. I loved Bowen and Tamsyn and the banter they have. Also not only is this witches but GHOSTS are you kidding?!?! Amazing. This series will have you giggling the whole time! Thank you NetGalley for the chance to review this book!

Thank you so much to Avon and Harper Collins Voyager Publishing and Erin Sterling for this eARC of The Wedding Witch in exchange for my honest review!

This third book in the series was funny, charming, and magical. Bowen and Tamsyn have a way with words and always manage to crack jokes that have me pausing in shock. I love it. I thoroughly enjoyed the past/future timeline plot of this book along with the characters introduced, and for me personally, it was much more interesting than the previous two stories in the series. However, although I did enjoy this quick read, I unfortunately did not believe in the love story. The two characters were suddenly coming to a "realization" of their love for each other when it felt like they barely knew each other. Although time passed throughout the book and they technically knew each other for almost a year, as the reader we did not get to experience or see that time with them--- so they were still essentially acquaintances who were in business together.

Regardless, I love this series and I always look forward to Erin Sterling's work-- they are quick and fun reads that are perfect for the fall, especially for spooky season.

The first two books in this series were so much fun and this one was no exception. Bowen was mentioned enough in the last book that I NEEDED to meet him and he did not disappoint.

I loved the banter, time travel adventures, ghosts! This book was a blast.

💚🪄 The Wedding Witch 🪄💚
Graves Glen #3
By Erin Sterling

✨ Thank you to HarperCollins/Avon and NetGalley for a copy of this eARC - available October 8th! ✨

🪄 Magical objects collection
💚 Cozy witch vibes
🪄 Mysterious
💚 Eccentric cast of characters
🪄 Dual POV

💚 Characters 💚
There are parts of Bowen that are super relatable. He likes to be alone, slight aversion to children, a no nonsense sense of humor and is a touch socially awkward.
Tamsyn is a bit of a wild card but in a way that perfectly contrasts with controlled Bowen.

🪄 Plot 🪄
This was so fun!
A pinch of romance.
A dash of mystery.
A smidgeon of time travel?!
Sign. Me. Up.
Fast paced and descriptive writing made this plot exciting and had me trying to solve Tamsyn and Bowen’s problems right alongside them.

💚 Overall 💚
It’s been quite awhile since I read the first two books, so at first I was a little lost with who was who and what was what. But it was easy to get back into the swing of it all with the easy going writing style.
I forgot how much I like the teasing dialogue and enchanting atmosphere found within this little world.
✨ This will be a perfect book for October so go ahead and devour the first two so you’ll be ready when 10/8 rolls around! ✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
🌶️: Yes, open door.

Wow what a fun read, as always! I absolutely loved The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, so you can imagine how excited I was to come across an e-arc on NetGalley! This follows the middle Penhallow brother, Bowen as he and his employee find themselves at a wedding together for the Yuletide holiday. There’s time travel, magic, ghosts, and as always, sweet, sweet romance. Erin sterling never fails to give readers a humorous and cozy read. The Wedding Witch is a perfect transitional book from spooky season to the holidays! I love this witchy little family.🩶


Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for the chance to advance read!

e-ARC review
This is the 3rd book in the series, and since it had been some time since I read the others, I had forgotten some of the characters and information. But it wasn't too long into the book before it all came back and I was sucked right back into the amazing world that the author creates for these characters. This is always going to rate high with me: witches, magic, and Yule/Christmas season which are my favorite things. And this one did not disappoint. The chemistry and interactions between the main characters was FABULOUS! A little spicy, a little bit of fun....I read it quickly and was sad when it was done! I will buy a physical copy when it releases because the cover is fabulous too!!!

This is a (quite steamy) Romance book with a magical setting (witches, amulets etc) and a bit of time travel thrown it. It is decently written but I was really hoping for more sci fi / magic / problem solving and less Romance so I can't say I loved it. However, it is light and fun and has some quirky characters, so if that's what you're in the mood for, you will be quite happy with this read.

Thank you for the opportunity to read The Wedding Witch in advance of it's publication date! I was so excited to be able to read this early!

Last year I found a deep love of witchy romances during the spooky season and read the first 2 in this series (The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse) so I was thrilled to get my hands (and of course eyes) on a copy of The Wedding Witch even though it’s not quite spooky season.

I love that this one takes place around “Yule” and gave the perfect wintery vibes. I love a good grumpy/sunshine romance and the dynamic between Rowan and Tamsyn filled that perfectly for me. The plot line was fun and the supporting character added to the story in such a great way.

I also loved how the story wrapped up and found I really liked the explanation for the cause of the traveling back in time. It made me really think back through the story for the various signs.

I do wish there was more interactions between Bowen and Tamsyn prior to the main plot line as I feel it would have made the story feel less instalove but I also don’t think it hurt the story in any way.

Great witchy read to pick up around winter solstice!

I really enjoyed Tamsyn and Bowen's story but I found myself really missing Graves Glen and the other characters quite a bit. I loved the time travel element even if I wished they would have leaned into being in the past a little bit more.

In a turn of events the last Penhollow is gonna fall hard… I mean either into another time or love, possibly both? But we all know it’s going to be hilarious and apparently the spiciest of the bunch.
While I have loved all these books, and I only read the first one for a Halloween Challange, because who doesn’t love witches and romance? I was hooked on how the author plays the characters off of each other and there is always some light hearted humor and some drama. The love is just a bonus. They character hijinxs will keep you turning the pages.
Here is hoping the fourth book is about their jerk daddy and some of the wedding guests!!! Because the set up of them was just so good and I had a hard time letting them go.

I devoured this the same night that I downloaded it! I just couldn’t put it down. It was just as fun as The Ex-Hex and The Kiss Curse and I loved the little moments where I got to revisit characters from the past books.

The time travel element just worked so well and the romance was HOT! I cannot recommend this one enough. Please do yourself a favor and read this whole series if you haven’t already. It’s THAT good.

Thank you so very much to Avon and NetGalley for this eARC. All opinions are my own.
