sad to say I didn't love this book after LOVING the first two in the series. the ex hex and kiss curse are some of my favorite silly little romances, but this one just didn't hit the same. I didn't really like our fmc, the plot just felt odd to me, and i didn't care about the romance between the fmc and mmc. it just didn't feel believable and the focus of the book was far less on their romance and more on the time travel (which again, was weird.)

It’s important to note that I was a huge fan of Erin sterlings first two books in this series with Ex Hex being my favorite of the 3 I have read so far. This title while being good and witchy and perfect for spooky season felt so rushed and to instant love. It was a slow start and then all at once everything happens and then it’s all over. I would say this would be an average read and just ok if you haven’t read the first two books but if you have then this one just falls short.

I’ve read this entire trilogy and have enjoyed learning more about these characters. While this wasn’t my favorite of the three, I feel satisfied finding out more about brooding Bowen and his history, as well as the future he and Tamsyn create.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a fun read, although it's wasn't my favorite in the series I was happy to read another brothers story. I loved a good grumpy sunshine thrope, although there were parts where I wanted more. Still a overall great read

The Wedding Witch was cute. I liked the direction it went in, and I loved the atmosphere. But I really think that I’ve outgrown this series. :(

I have really enjoyed this series but this book just didn't do it for me. I liked book 1 and loved book 2 but this one I just didn't seem to connect with the characters or something. It could be that it's just the busy season for me. I'm not sure. Glad to have marked it off my list though.

Thank you NetGalley, Erin Sterling and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC!

I really was hopeful to get behind this read, but it unfortunately was not my cup of tea. Erin Sterling is a wonderful writer, I just had a difficult time connecting to the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for this arc!
I LOVE this trilogy and want more every single time. I’m glad we got Bowen’s story after 3 books of him being mysterious and a little haunted. Give me more!

I think this was my favorite in the Wedding Witch series so far! I loved the time travel elements and the romance was perfect! Such a fun fall and Christmas-y read.

Thank you to netgalley and Avon for an arc of this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed my third trip to the world of the Jones and Penhallow families. These books have a certain cheesiness that I’ve come to love. Bowen and Tamsyn’s love story was the least convincing out of the 3 books. But I enjoyed the story and resolution nonetheless.

This was a very light hearted read, unlike the previous two this one did not have a heavy fall/Halloween presence and instead takes place in December giving it a Christmas vibes.

A little cringe at times and felt a little bit rushed in terms of the budding romance between Bowen and Tasmyn. They went from 20-100 very fast. Also add in some time travel and messing up the current timeline and then you get a book.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for a review

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher and the author, Erin Sterling, for an ARC of this book.

I am giving this book 3 stars on the account of it was a very cute, fluffy holiday romance; but at times, it did feel a little rushed in the storyline. I did enjoy the plot though but did not feel super connected to the characters or storyline. It was a cute, quick read and I would say it was just good, not great. The love interests went from 1 to 100 with little to no build-up to the events that happened after. I did really enjoy the fact that this had more spice than 'The Ex Hex'. It just fell a little flat for me

Overall, still a nice holiday read and I would recommend it to a friend to pick up.

Christmas gets a little more magical with The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling! In this third installment of the Graves Glen trilogy, we find our focus on Bowen, the loner Penhallow brother, who is often mistaken for a werewolf. However, readers soon discover that Bowen's solitude comes from a determined focus to study magic, interpret spells, and discover magical artifacts that could potentially reverse a spell gone wrong against his best friend. When his friend, a ghostly presence, asks him to attend the wedding of his former fiancé, Bowen agrees, even though it means a temporary break from working (as well as shamelessly flirting) with his remote procurer, Tamsyn Bligh, whom he has been pining after for over a year now. But, Bowen and Tamsyn are both surprised when they discover one another at the wedding, Bowen at the request of his friend and Tamsyn on a secret procuring assignment that she has kept from her employer. When a spell from the bride-to-be accidentally sends the pair back to Yuletide 1957 at this grand estate in the Welsh countryside, the pair must work together to get back to their present day, with all kinds of magic, both Christmas and romantic, flying around the pair.

For me, this was the most enjoyable of the 3 Graves Glen novels. I think maybe I liked the pairing of Bowen and Tamsyn more than the other couples. However, these books are books that you have to just go along with the ride for. If you look at this novel and the time traveling elements too closely, then you're going to find some loopholes pretty easily. You can't read this novel with a magnifying glass and just have to accept the Christmas-y romantic charm that it brings. If you can do that, then you'll enjoy this Christmas romance!

I want to thank everyone for this early gifted copy of The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling.

While I was excited to jump back into this storyline, this book just didn't really do it for me. It was a nice cozy, holiday read, but I just felt that it was rushed in a lot of different ways. The plot was rushed, the tension was rushed, the romance was rushed. The time travel was an interesting piece, but this book just didn't do it for me overall.

I was really looking forward to this one based on my enjoyment of the previous two books in the series. While this was a fun read, I feel it was missing something compared to the first two books. The relationship here felt underdeveloped and overall rushed.

This was very cute! I love a good magical realism/time travel romance, so I knew I was going to enjoy this!

I liked how it gave off more holiday vibes versus the other two that had more fall/spookier vibes! It definitely took me a bit to get into it at the beginning but once I did, I was hooked! This book was highly entertaining, and I really loved Bown and Tamsyn!

This was a fun series. I loved the setting of the book and characters. I think this was possibly my favorite book of them all.

I love Erin Sterlings previous books in this series so I was really excited to give this book a try! Unfortunately it fell a little flatter than the previous two books because of the setting. I found the time travel plot interesting but i feel like not being in the small town setting the other two stories are set in made it feel like it wasn’t even apart of the same series. I did enjoy the banter between Bowen and Tamsyn and still definitely enjoyed the book!

I was very excited to get to read this book and it was definitely worth it. I liked the element of time travel, and it being slightly different than the previous books because it had a more winter/Christmas/ Yule setting and I think that helped set it apart from the previous two. The reader has a pretty good idea of who Bowen Penhallow is to start out with, if you've read the other books, but Tamsyn was a mystery. I liked getting to know her character, and the other new characters in this book. The relationship was definitely pretty firmly developed by the time the main action takes place, and I kind of wish there had been a little more of their working relationship, and seeing them flirt/banter.

I absolutely love The Wedding Witch! Erin Sterling (aka Rachel Hawkins) delivers another delightful, feel-good read. Her signature humor, engaging voice, and charming storytelling make this book a joy from start to finish. The characters are lovable, the romance is swoon-worthy, and the magical touches add just the right amount of whimsy. Perfect for fans of cozy, lighthearted reads with a touch of witchy fun!
