I have loved every book in this series and this is no exception. The Wedding Witch is full of laughs, love and adventure. I love the magic and the intertwining of the two Welsh families of witches. The two MCs are endearing and sweet, and new and old supporting characters fill out the backstory of the series in a wonderful way. I highly recommend this series to readers of witchy romance!

Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

Is this my favorite book in the Ex Hex series? YES! The tension between Bowen and Tamsyn was SO high because of the fact that their relationship was basically "forbidden"ish by Tamsyn because she didnt want to date people she works with (which I guess makes this a workplace romance 👀) and the burn is slow BUT it is so worth it!!! Also, this book had soooo much suspense! I loved not knowing if and when everything would fall into place. It made me never want to put the book down because so much was happening and I had no idea how it was going to end!
And the ending?!? So perfect! We get to see all 3 Ex Hex couples together and being adorable! I hope there are more ways for us to come back to Graves Glenn, GA!
Thank you so much to Avon books for an early copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review!💞

I love this series so much and I hope Erin never stops making romcoms set in a Hocus Pocus era. Funny, spicy, entertaining. Highly recommend for spooky season but pick up the first 2 books first!! You won't regret it

This series has been SO MUCH FUN! I’ve been interested in Bowen since we met him and I loved his book.

Bowen needs lots of magic relics and the like, so he hires Tamsyn to acquire them for him. Exclusively. She’s an American who travels for this super interesting line of work and he’s a welsh mountain man with a secret. She decides to take on one last side gig that pays astronomical amounts and they both end up at a creepy haunted mansion in middle of nowhere wales for this wedding. And then get sent back to 1957.

With a synopsis like that, who could stay away! I liked both characters instantly. I also enjoyed getting to see emails/ texts to build up their relationship when they weren’t together. Once they are throw together in this creepy castle and then again in 1957, you just know it’s only a matter of time.

The story moves fast and is really fun. There are great characters in the 1957 timeline and I really enjoyed all of them. I also loved checking in with our previous couples in the present day. Bowen and Tamsyn worked really well together and just… got each other and that really shined on page .

ARC Review

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling
Anticipated Pub Date: October 8
Genre: paranormal romance

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. I was super excited to get the final installment of this trilogy! The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse were both cute, witchy romances that I enjoyed. I think I may have liked The Wedding Witch best of all!

Bowen Penhallow is on a mission to find an artifact or spell that can help reverse a magical accident his friend was involved in during university. To do that, Bowen enlists the help of an artifact hunter, Tamsyn Bligh, to track it down. Tamsyn’s not a witch - just human - but when she and Bowen meet on Christmas Eve, sparks fly. However, because they will be working together, they decide their relationship must be platonic.

A year later (and cute epistolary sections later), the two unexpectedly find themselves at a Welsh estate. Tamsyn is tracking down a magical brooch to try to get a big payment, and Bowen is there on behalf of his friend. Shenanigans happen, and somehow the pair ends up back in 1957 where they have to right a wrong while figuring out their real feelings for each other.

I thought The Wedding Witch was funny and cute, and I enjoyed the time travel element a lot. It’s a playful book, and it makes for a great light, witchy read. I did have some plot questions around the time travel piece, but I’m probably overthinking it because the book doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Overall, it was my favorite installment of the trilogy; the banter between the two MCs and Tamsyn’s personality were great. I recommend it!

The last Penhallow brother falls in love in this third book of the series. Bowen Penhallow falls for Tamsyn Bligh, a human who he has hired to help him acquire magical artifacts in an attempt to save his bestie who, due to a magical accident years ago, is trapped in some sort of in between state. One acquisition leads Tamsyn to Wales where she runs into Bowen and they are thrown back in time on a mission neither know how (or what) to complete.

Since this was the third book in the series, not a lot of world building was necessary but reading the first two books isn’t necessary to understand the story. Low tension/low angst romance with a witchy element. The conflict/pinnacle of the story comes about rather suddenly and is likewise resolved quickly and with minimal turmoil. It was fine but it didn’t evoke a lot of emotion.

3.25⭐️

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Next to flawless! Dangerously humorous, tastefully spicy, unique magic, time travel — It couldn’t have been more wonderfully done. The writing is beautiful! The sizzling romance starts on page one and only gets better. Bowen and Tamsyn are such a perfect couple, I could not get enough of them! I thought the ghost aspect would be more prevalent and that would tie in a bit more later on and be more of a focus, but I am very still pleased with how it ended. I kind of wished the solution had been more academic based since that’s Bowen’s specialty. Not entirely sure how they ended up back in time to begin with, but I still had a good time regardless. Not as much Christmas or “Yule” as I wanted, but it works for an all year round comfort read. I 100% can’t wait for this book’s official release!

The Wedding Witch is the 3rd book in The Ex Hex series. It follows Bowen Penhallow (the brother of Ryhs and Wells) as he attends a wedding on behest of his dead friend Declan but while he is there, he runs into his coworker Tamsyn who is there trying to acquire an object that will finally allow her to retire. A wedding mishap and strong magic transports them to 1957 and they need to correct a wrong to get themselves back to their time.

I absolutely adored The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, so I was very excited to read The Wedding Witch. This book gave Back to the Future vibes in the best way. It is set during the Yule season, making it feel festive and cozy at times. Bowen and Tamsyn have a really fun relationship with some great banter (Also the smut scenes were so good). The other books takes place in Graves Glen and that cast of characters, this book takes place in Wales and has an amazing supporting cast that had me laughing. While you can read this book without needing to read The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse first, I highly recommend those. Not only because they are fantastic but because it does give some added context to the story

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this ARC in return for an honest review.

Erin Sterling has done it again with her latest installment in the Penhallow series! This time, the story follows Bowen Penhallow as he seeks to fix a long-regretted mistake. He hires Tamsyn, a human acquirer, to help him find magical objects. Their working relationship takes a turn when a spell transports them to a Yuletide celebration in 1958, forcing them to navigate their feelings for each other while trying to return to the present.

The book is festive, whimsical, and delightfully spooky, perfect for cozy reading. Sterling's characters are engaging, and the story is beautifully written, with appearances from beloved characters like Rhys, Vivienne, Wells, and Gwyn adding to the charm. The plot picks up pace around 100 pages in, with small twists that keep you hooked. Bowen and Tamsyn's chemistry is palpable, and their journey is both emotional and entertaining. Fans of "The Ex Hex" and "The Kiss Curse" will find this book equally enchanting. Erin Sterling continues to deliver cozy, captivating tales that leave you wanting more.

Erin Sterling has done it again!

We’re back with the Penhallows, but not (really) in Graves Glen. This time, the story follows Bowen Penhallow, searching for a way to fix a long-regretted mistake that took a friend away from him. He hires Tamsyn, a human and an acquirer (who may be familiar to some from the series), to find objects for him. After months, Bowen is smitten but Tamsyn has a “no bosses” rule. What is a guy to do?

When the friends ghost (out of body form? Idk) appears and begs Bowen to go to the wedding of his true love, the last person he expects to see there is Tamsyn.

When yet another spell is cast, Tamsyn and Bowen find themselves in an impossible situation and have to find their way out of it, all while battling their feelings for each other.

Erin Sterling really has a way with these characters. I never feel bored, it was quite the opposite. I was hooked immediately. I love these characters and the story was beautifully written. The supporting characters had personality that made me want a spin off for their stories as well. I hope this isn’t goodbye to Graves Glen and these characters!!

I’ve been waiting years for this one!! Was so excited to see it available for request on NetGalley. It’s festive and whimsical, and I could not even wait for the holiday season to read it.

Were back with the Penhallow family, this time following Bowen, who I was always so curious about when reading of him in the other books! I loved the mystery and how everything wrapped up in this book. It was fun to see the past characters too (rhys and vivienne, wells and gwyn). They are such a hilarious group. I will say though that wells and gwyn’s story remains my favorite. But it was nice to see why Bowen was struggling with that happened in his past.

I absolutely love Erin's books and this series, so I was stoked to receive another ARC. Yet again this book has the perfect amount of coziness and humor. Love the characters too!

This author is great at writing a story that has a few small twists but is cozy. This story follows Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn as they navigate their working relationship. This story was everything that the kiss curse and ex hex gave us plus more. We did get visit appearances from the old characters we know and love. 100 pages in and this book started to really pick up the pace. I won't give any spoilers but I will continue to read this author for my cozy reads another solid book Erin!

**also reviewed on storygraph and goodreads

Loved this one! Great and fun read. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for my ARC.

Thank you, NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager Publishing for this ARC. I am a great fan of Erin Sterling’s work the Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, and this book did not disappoint!! I truly love her writing. It is fun, exciting and it keeps you entertained throughout the entire story. I love the two main characters. Their banter and romance was so sweet and gave a warm and cozy vibe to the story! I will definitely be rereading this book during the winter holidays. If you enjoy fantasy and witchy vibes and time travel, this is definitely the book for you. I also really enjoyed that the author included the two characters from the previous books. I just would’ve loved to have more information toward the end of the book but overall it was another great read from this author. I will continue to read more from her !

Banter & time travel?? Consider me sold. I loved this for the banter but it stays cozy and warm through the whole book. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did! I wish there was a little more backstory or development but it was still an amazing read for a lazy Sunday. Definitely will recommend to everyone

Erin Sterling always makes wickedly delightful romance stories that are bewitching!

I love how the female main character is not a witch but is still part of the witching world and with the captivating Bowen Penhallow. The plot is fun, silly, captivating and follows the cute charming town. I have been waiting for this one. Bowen has a secret- back in college his best friend, Declan, disappeared, only to reappear to Bowen as a ghost. Bowen has been trying to figure out a way to bring Declan back, which now involves Tamsyn. Bowen and Tamsyn end up at the witch wedding of the year in Wales and, after a spell goes terribly wrong, end up back in 1957. This story was so much fun! I love the banter and the time travel and the off the charts chemistry. I love the hilarity of the plot and the banter that goes on with them because it added so. much to their chemistry. It sets the time around Yule and will be the perfect cozy romance to read in the fall. It is perfect for fantasy and witchy fans that love a good time travel plot line and I cannot recommend this book enough! It is a must read!

The Wedding Witch is book three in the Ex Hex series by Erin Sterling, and it brought all the cozy, witchy aesthetics I loved in the previous two books. This book was light and fun, full of banter and wit from both main characters. I also enjoyed revisiting the couples and setting from books one and two, although I would’ve liked to see more of them.

Despite the warm vibes, atmospheric setting, and great characters, I felt like something was missing. Bowen and Tamsyn are both amazing, but their relationship was lacking, in my opinion. It was very rushed and insta-lovey, with barely any buildup. They had one in-person interaction, didn’t see each other for a year, and the next time they’re together, Bowen is in love with her. I found it off-putting and I was honestly confused where these strong feelings came from.

I’m giving the book three stars because I liked the characters and the setting, but there was definitely something missing with the romance and it didn’t capture my attention like the first two books.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for the chance to read this ARC of The Wedding Witch.

This book is the story of the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, and the return of the free-spirited Tamsyn. After sparks fly between their first meeting, they settle into a staid and appropriate boss/ employee relationship, only to get caught up in the past when they are both called to a mansion, Bowen to attend the wedding of the long-deceased and turned-ghost Declan, and Tamsyn who is hoping to get one last big score.
I enjoyed getting to know Bowen's story though it didn't seem like the author delved as deep as I wanted her to on his backstory. And the time travel parts, which are admittedly hard to pull off successfully, didn't seem well thought out. Tamsyn and Bowen's story was cute and the series remains enjoyable.

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the e-arc.

Bowen Penhallow. Brooding & brawny & blushing. Three amazing b’s. Also, he’s a Welshman 😎😍😍.

I don’t really see how the title of The Wedding Witch comes into play in the plot very much but this witchy romance by Erin Sterling is adorable & came into my life just when I needed a fun read.

Bowen Penhallow is looking for magical artifacts for a noble, if misguided, reason, & Tamsyn is the acquirer he hires (& pretty much immediately falls for).

Despite the fact that their mutual falling is apparent to the reader from their first meeting, there’s still a great sense of anticipation with this one. It doesn’t lose its zest.

With amusing family dynamics, a heist plan, a time travel twist, & a cariad reference or two, this fun & hot witchy romance delights 🪄.

4.5 ⭐️. Out 10/08.
