Started very slow and with the chain of text/ emails in a very confusing fashion where it became a chore trying to figure out which character sent which, I came close to dnf'ing. Glad I persevered though, because the story took off when a bride left the altar screaming her previous suitor's name. No spoilers, but once it got going, it was worth it.
Rounded up from 3.5⭐

I loved the first half of this book, it was a quick read and even though the I loved the time travel aspect of the story, something about it slowed the pacing down, and I started slugging through it. I thought the ending was a nice little twist! Overall, The Wedding Witch is an enjoyable Fall/Holiday read!

I didn't care for Bowen's broody character. I enjoyed the first books in the series but I don't think this one was a good addition.

I've been a little lukewarm on this series, but it went out on a high note with The Wedding Witch! Bowen and Tamsyn's story was by far my favorite of The Ex Hex series. The pair had great chemistry and banter throughout this cozy Welsh, Christmas/Yule/holiday, time-travel romance. The ghost storyline and mystery elements added the perfect amount of spooky and fun intrigue. A great book to pick up in either the fall or winter holiday season!

The third and final installment in Erin Stirling’s Graves Glen series is a perfectly breezy witchy holiday romance. Taking place over Yule/Christmas with a magical storyline, this book is perfect to read in the fall, as the temperature cools and the sun sets earlier in the day.

Bowen Penhallow is a serious, almost hermit-like witch, who lives in a remote cabin in his native Wales while doggedly pursuing a magical cure to the tragic experiment-gone-wrong that caused his best friend to disappear years earlier. In his quest, he hires acquirer Tamsyn Bligh, a beautiful American woman, to help him find rare magical objects that might hold the answer to his search. Tamsyn has a firm rule against getting entangled with anyone she does business with, but their attraction for one another is mutual and immediate. When Tamsyn takes an extremely lucrative job acquiring a magical brooch from a witchy wedding in Wales, she and Bowen end up needing to work together to break the curse that connects their problems across generations.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly from start to finish, despite its insta-love trope. The steamy scenes here are excellent, and the setting over Yuletide made it a perfect cozy read for fall/winter. I would highly recommend this as a quick and easy holiday romance with a good dose of magic and heart! 3.5 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my eARC, in exchange for an honest review.

I was so happy to be back in the universe of Graves Glen. I love Erin Sterling’s humor and the banter between Bowen/Tamsyn.

To be honest, I didn’t read the synopsis so I had no idea what would happen. The time travel was so cool! But I’m not sure if I understand how it all worked out. Actually, I really do still have questions but the love story is the important part here and I enjoyed it.

I was so excited to receive an advanced copy of The Wedding Witch, since I adored the first two installments in this series. Bowen is the perfect grumpy MMC, and reading his and Tamsyn's story helped get me in the mood for fall (and Christmas?). The elements of mystery that were included in this novel were very well done, and I enjoyed the journey to uncover the secrets of Tywyll house.
The novel delivered exactly what I expected it to be, and met my expectations based on the previous two books. I loved the cameos from the previous MCs and how this installment tied together all the loose ends of this world!

✔️ Insta-Lust
✔️ He's My Boss
✔️ Time Travel
✔️ Fake Dating
✔️ One Bed

I love the world in this series, the set up of the town and the brothers and how magic works. This one built on that with the time travel piece as it takes us years into the past. Listen, Quantum Leap (with Scott Bakula) was a formative show for me and I am insta-love for books where characters have to "put right what once went wrong" in the hope of going back to their home time.

I adored both Tamsyn and Bowen and their chemistry. Sometimes I'll read insta-lust books and I'm not fully on board, like I don't really understand why they are attracted to each other. I'm not sure how the author was able to do it so well here where I was instantly like "oh yeahhhhh" when these two first met.

I loved the banter, the investigation, and of course all the romantic scenes like One Bed! Caught in the Rain!

This is the perfect read especially right now - for some witchy vibes but also holiday vibes as most of the book is around Yule. 5⭐️

As a continuation of the Graves Glen series, The Wedding Witch was good, and it was a pleasure to see another Penhallow brother fall in love. The only thing I didn’t love was the protagonists' lack of urgency in figuring out the whole time travel subplot. With that being said, if you are looking for a lighthearted read or enjoyed the previous titles in this series, The Wedding Witch is one that you should pick up!

The Wedding Witch was an adorable small town, slightly spooky romance and my favorite book in the Ex Hex series! It follows the third Penhallow brother and his love interest, taking us to a new location (mostly) away from Graves Glen for a refreshing change of pace. The couple had such good chemistry, the Welsh village haunted mansion vibes were 10/10, and all the side characters were a great addition to the story.

Read this if you want a quick book to finish up October, if Charmed-meets-Gilmore Girls sounds like your vibe, or if you love time travel and/or one bed tropes. It's the perfect vibe for spooky season, but would be a quick, cute read any time of year.

This was my first Erin Sterling novel, but why start at book #3? Well at first, I was unaware that it was a series when I requested through NetGalley, so it made me a little nervous to not enjoy Bowen’s story. However, I quickly changed my mind after reading the second chapter in the book.

I am very thankful that Bowen Penhallow had to attending the wedding at the request of his best friend. Or else there would be no adventure of falling in love and figure out a way to get back to the present time without damaging the past. I will definitely need to go back and read the rest of the Ex Hex series to get more of Bowen.

4 Stars! Must read now!! It has all the correct cozy-type feelings!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the eBook to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

The is the third book in a favorite series of mine. I loved the first two books and this one did not disappoint. This had the perfect combination of fall and winter coziness. The main relationship in this book was purely insta love which I normally do not like, but it was done well. I love the characters in this series so much that the insta love didn’t bother me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I have been waiting for this brother's story since Book 1 and I am so happy! Wonderful sweet town reminiscent of Stars Hollow with humor and spice!

I really enjoyed "The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling. I did not realize it was the third book in a series when I started it and was.a bit nervous, but it definitely worked as a standalone (though I will likely go back and read the first two books of the series). MMC Bowen Penhallow has spent years trying to figure out how to rescue his bestie from a spell gone wrong. FMC Tamsyn Bligh is a non-witch who somehow makes her living as. a finder of magical, and often dangerous, items. She has been working exclusively for Bowen for a year and fantasizing about him for nearly as long. The pair end up at a magical wedding - that neither of them was actually invited to - and then somehow end up going back in time to 1957. Lust and love accompany the duo on their quest to get back to their present time.

Bowen and Tamsyn are just fun, both separate and together. They have excellent banter despite having rather different personalities and they have palpable chemistry. There are plot holes galore (how does Tamsyn know about magic to begin with? How do certain things change at the end yet have no impact on Bowen or Tamsyn or anyone else's lives overall?) but the book overall is so fun that even this couldn't ruin it for me.

3.5 stars rounded to 4. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

What a great conclusion to this series! I was almost hesitant to read this one now because I wasn’t sure if it had fall or Christmas vibes. It was actually a great combination of both!

In the third book we get the story of the last Penhallow brother, Bowen. He employs the help of Tamsyn, a talented magical artifact finder, to find what he needs to undo a spell that will bring his friend Declan back. An unexpected spell sends the two time traveling back to the wedding of the Bowen’s grandparents in 1957. They must figure out why they were sent back to that time and how to get back before their time runs out.

I really enjoyed this read. I found both of our main characters to be likable and I enjoyed getting Bowen’s backstory and seeing his character come to life. He’s portrayed as such a hermit in the other two books and it was fun reading about his friendship with Declan and see him explore a romance with Tamsyn. This book was a perfect blend of friends, romance, time travel, and witchy powers. Only critique I have is that I thought some things were wrapped up a little too neatly at the end with little explanation. Overall, this series was a perfect cozy fall read.

I’ve enjoyed the other books in this series but this one in particular felt “too” paranormal for me and that’s not my preferred genre. All the witch jargon took me out of the story and I felt I was skimming a good portion of this. Not sure I’d read if there was another in this series.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars

I'd say this is my least favorite of the Ex Hex trilogy. Not for the lack of chemistry, and not for the plot. I actually really liked the time travel aspect of this, and I think Bowen and Tamsyn make a great couple that was really fun to read. I think this was just a tad too insta-love for me, even though like a year passes between first meeting and the real start of their tryst. I wish more of that had been on page!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

THE WEDDING WITCH by Erin Sterling was released last week. I finished it two weeks ago but finally getting around to reviews. This is third in the series but they are each separate stories so could be read as a stand alone if you want. It is fun to know the side characters though. This one follows the last Penhallow brother, Bowen, who happens to be my favorite of the brothers. He hires Tamsyn to help find powerful and sometimes dangerous magical artifacts. A spell done at a witchy wedding throws them back into 1957 and they must try to find out why they’re there and find their way home. This third book in the series was the best of the three in my opinion. It was quick, fun, and full of ghosts, time travel, romance, and witches. Honestly a great read for fall or Christmas season.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks to the publisher, @avonbooks and @netgalley for this copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you, Avon and NetGalley, for the advanced copy of The Wedding Witch.

I love The Ex Hex series. The Wedding Witch ties a nice little bow on our favorite little witches! It was probably my favorite of the three though it is difficult to choose. The Wedding Witch is another comfy, cozy book to dive into this month, but it would also be a great book to save for the December holiday season. The story takes place around Yule (witchy Christmas). The banter between the two characters was so much fun! The time travel was a treat. And one bed? Yes, please! Pick this one up today for a fun magical adventure!!

Tamsyn Bligh is a procurer of mystical objects. Bowen Penhallow is in need of said mystical objects. As an occasional customer of Tamsyn's, Bowen has put her on retainer in order to be her only customer. But what if there was a way out of all of this for Tamsyn? What if she could get out of this trade and finally put the moves on Bowen? When a job comes through with a million-dollar payday, Tamsyn can't turn it down. When Tamsyn runs into Bowen at a haunted house, she has to come clean about the job that she took. Bowen isn't too upset by the situation seeing as the house is currently going a little haywire. When a spell transports Bowen and Tamsyn back to the 1950s, they have to work together to figure out how to get back to the future without irreparably damaging the past.

This is a perfect September or October read with all the right elements - witches, love story, cozy setting.
