I loved the first 2 books of this series so I was excited to get The Wedding Witch.
This book focuses on Bowen Penhallow as he hires Tamsyn Bligh to find some magical objects for him. Suddenly they are stuck at a wedding together where there are strange and witchy things happening.
Honestly I think this might be my favorite of the series, this book focused more on the Penhallow history and how they became such a strong magical family. I hope there are more in this series even though all the boys have found their loves!

Out of the 3 I liked this one the least. HOWEVER I still enjoyed the quick smutty story and the final romance tale of the last Penhallow brother

3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for this ARC!!

This book was a fun mix of witchy romance and sweet wintery holiday vibes.

I’ve loved the Graves Glen trilogy and am so sad it’s come to an end (at least I assume it has now that we’ve gotten to the third of the Penhallow brothers). Unfortunately I think I connected more to Rhys and Wells and their FMCs, Vivi and Gwyn. I did love Bowen’s grumpy hermit-esque personality & Tamsyn’s funny quips and quick thinking. I also initially liked the change in scenery from quirky small town Graves Glen but definitely missed it by the end. I think the chemistry between Bowen and Tamsyn was really well done (loved the spice), but I do think it was a bit too insta-love for me. I didn’t quite see how they had fallen in love with each other from the limited time they spent together and the emails they exchanged back and forth. Hence why this was my least favorite of the Graves Glen series. That being said though, I did still enjoy this book and I definitely still recommend for either a fall or winter read!!

I was excited to get an ARC for The Wedding Witch. I loved The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, and couldn’t wait to delve back into the same supernatural world. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book had a cozy Christmas element to it, which somehow paired well with the spooky Halloween vibes.

Bowen Penhallow is on a mission to help right a spell gone wrong, and he seeks Tamsyn Bligh’s expertise in acquiring speciality supernatural items that may help him succeed. Together, they find themselves sent back in time, not only seeking a way back to the present, but also to figure out how to correct the original spell. Of course, along the way, they discover that their feelings may be more than just platonic.

Of the three in this trilogy, this book was my favorite. I don’t know if it was that the Christmas theme made it extra magical, or if I found the characters to be especially endearing (especially Annie and Emerald), but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I thought I couldn't love this series anymore than I already did and then I read this book! Erin Sterling does it again with this swoony, sexy, and hilarious rom com. I loved the time travel and magical elements, as well as all the characters. Truly a perfect holiday read!

3.5 stars - I was excited to return Glen Graves but this book deviates a bit! It was more Christmas/Yule based with some time travel and hiccups with magic. It didn't feel quite as witchy as the first two books and I missed Vivi and Gwen. I did enjoy the holiday setting and the spice was excellent!

Erin Sterling has done it again. The third installment of my favorite witches from Graves Glen, Georgia and the moody Penhallow clan is everything I wanted it to be, and more. Time travel hijinks, check. Another broody and charming Penhallow brother, check. Ghosts and a haunting, check. Bringing back the sly and fierce Tamsyn Bligh, check.

I admit, I did miss the spooky autumnal feel of the usual Ex Hex backdrop, but the setting revolving around Christmas/Yuletide made it even more magical. I can't wait to re-read the whole series again.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher, Avon Books for the advanced copy for my honest review.

Such a sweet addition to the Ex Hex series. While set at Christmas time the holiday itself takes a backseat to the main plot allowing the book to be enjoyed outside of the season. Magic is complementary to the romance and family relationships that create this story. While lengthier in page numbers vs the first book reading time was shorter. Highly recommend for another dose of Penhallow family fun.

Thank you to the publisher, Net Galley, and the author for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Wedding Witch is the third installment in The Ex Hex series. This book follows one of the Penhallow brothers, Bowen and the magical goods acquirer he hired, Tamsyn. The two end up together at present day wedding for two completely different things, enter forced proximity for these two cuties who have been working together, and end up traveling back in time to 1957,

As with the other two books in this series, The Wedding Witch is a lighthearted, fun, and fast paced read. This is perfect for those who need a palate cleanser while still looking for something well written. There aren't pages of beautiful prose, but the writing style is not juvenile, which I feel some of the more lighthearted books can be.

Characters:
I really loved Bowen. I wish this was an audiobook because I feel like I could hear his sexy Welsh accent every time I read his dialogue. Tamsyn brings out the best in him, and through her carefree spirit helps Bowen relax and be able to accept/be himself.

Tamsyn is a fun character, but I did feel like she written in a way that made it seem like Sterling was trying hard to make her a more modern foil to Bowen's traditional ways. It came off aloof at times when we are supposed to believe Bowen thinks she is brilliant (and she is)!

I felt like a lot happened in this plot. This is not a high fantasy situation so I would make sure before going into you do not need intense magic system building because you will not get this here. What you will get is a fun and quirky novel filled with magic you don't need to understand fully to enjoy!

i went back and read the two previous books again, overall a fun series perfect for fall and I enjoyed the third

I have loved this series from the start and The Wedding Witch was another perfect addition! Bowen might be my favorite Penhallow brother!

I would read anything written by Erin Stirling. I couldn't decide if I wanted to read this in October or December, so I just skipped ahead and read it in August instead. I was not disappointed. This may be my favorite book of the trio. Witches, time travel, Christmas vibes, a new Penhallow brother... everything I need.

I loved the ex hex but this one didn’t hold me the same. I wanted to feel more connected to the FMC but there was a disconnect.

*Received as a free ARC*
A fabulous addition to this series! Going to be honest, did not realize it was a Christmas book at first, but it's a very mellow Christmas if that's not your thing. Or you're reading it in August like I did. I appreciated the tie back to book one with Tamsyn and the explanation for why Bowen was off being a mountain man. Fingers crossed there's a book 4 that's a prequel about Emerald, bc I would be alllll over that.

I continue to enjoy this series! I’m all for the witchy romance vibes books. This book was super entertaining and a magical world to step into. If Erin continues with this series I will read it!

I think this is my favorite in the series! A sweet friends-to-lovers holiday romance with time travel and second chances.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc! Opinions are my own.

This was totally worth the wait!!! This series feels like a warm hug. It’s silly, it’s goofy, it’s chaotic and steamy.

Tamsyn is a human that procures magical items for witches, sometimes not in the most legal of ways. She’s the best at what she does, and Bowen (the third Penhallow brother) offers her an exclusive contract to work for him as he tries to break a curse on his friend.

Both of them have a reason to break into Tywyll House on Christmas Eve, but it’s owned by a very powerful old line of witches. So much chaos breaks loose when they get there: it’s haunted, a wedding is called off, and of course time travel. Now they have to figure out why they were sent into the past, and how to get home.

It’s dual POV and third person. Oh, and there’s a bathtub scene!!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced digital copy!

This book was SO fun. I had not read the first two books in the series, but honestly I didn't even need to (though now I really want to). This book was spooky and mystical and just straight enjoyable. I loved the chemistry of our two main characters and the time travel aspect ( I live for that trope!). The fact that they were coworkers to friends to lovers was an aspect I really loved. They were spicy, and witty and full of banter. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the first two now! I highly recommend this and love that it was a holiday read too!

No one writes hot romance + magic like Erin Sterling! The Wedding Witch is just as good as her The Ex Hex, and Bowen and Tamsyn deliver all the “adventure but make it sexy” vibes. A great third installment of a wonderfully fun series.

This is probably my favorite out of the series!! The setting was dark and magical. The characters are amazing just like in the previous books. It was a complete masterpiece!
