Ok! I am a little late with this review, apologies. I was behind a book when I got approved for this one. I LOVED the Ex Hex and reviewed it here but was turned down for the Kiss Curse and had to get it from the Library, which was a long wait. The good news is, this is a Holiday book! I am claiming it as such, its a Yule book and there is mistletoe!

The characters celebrate Yule, a witchy take on Christmas, making it a festive and atmospheric choice for the season.

I was flying through the pages thanks to the captivating spice scenes but the beginning was a bit of a challenge. The world-building was decent, but the introduction to the plot and its direction left me feeling confused. Loose threads abound at first, and although everything ties up by the end, it happens at a breakneck pace, I wish that pacing had been more even.

However, once you get a handle on the storyline, the pace picks up, and it becomes engaging enough to keep you invested until the conclusion. 

Best parts:

The grumpy male main character

 The short length, making it a quick read

 The straightforward plot, even with its many subplots

 Established world of Grave's Glen that continues into this book

Overall I say now is the perfect time to gove this book a read.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book and how it all ended wrapping up!! So smart and clever!! It had a very different feel than the previous two books in this world and I did miss my talking cat friend, but I still enjoyed it and would suggest checking it out!

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling is such a fun, festive read, perfect for fans of contemporary romance with a witchy twist! This third installment in the Graves Glen series was a quick and lighthearted story that blends Halloween vibes with Christmas cheer.

I really enjoyed the time-travel element—it added a wacky, whimsical layer to the romance. The banter was sharp, the chemistry was strong, and the “there’s only one bed” trope is always a win. The secondary characters were delightful, and the mix of humor, spice, and holiday magic kept me entertained from start to finish.

While I didn’t feel the earlier books in the series fully held my attention, this one stayed engaging the entire way through. It’s the perfect book to pick up for some seasonal fun!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Really interesting story for the fall and winter holiday season! Not as witchy as the other books but overall a fun read!

I was so thrilled to be back in Graves Glen! Books 1-2 were such winners for me so “The Wedding Witch” was sure to be another. And boy did it deliver!

Sterling’s newest book gives us time travel, witches, and a romantic plot — do we need more? Also, it’s safe to say he falls first (which I’ve discovered is my newest favorite trope).

What I loved most about this one was that there was a level of mystery in Bowen and Tamsyn’s circumstances during their visit to Tywyll House. It’s this mystery that carried the story for me.

I’m not sure if there will be more Graves Glen books but if so, you can count me in on reading and L O V I N G them!

One of my favorite book series. Filled with love, hope, humor, and the best cast of characters, I always have a wonderful time with Graves Glen. More of this series, please!

"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling is a captivating blend of romance and magic that kept me thoroughly entertained. The story follows Bowen Penhallow, a reclusive witch who prefers studying dark and ancient magic on a Welsh mountaintop. When his ghostly friend Colin convinces him to attend a Yuletide wedding at a grand estate, Bowen reluctantly agrees.

Tamsyn Bligh, a non-witch who makes her living selling magical items, is also attending the wedding with hopes of making a big score. Bowen, an occasional customer and the star of many of Tamsyn's fantasies, becomes her unexpected partner when a powerful spell and a wedding mishap transport them to the past, to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958.

The characters are well-developed and endearing. Bowen's journey from a loner to someone who opens up to love is heartwarming, and Tamsyn's resourcefulness and charm make her a delightful heroine. Their chemistry is palpable, and their adventures in the past add an exciting twist to the story.

One of the highlights of the book is the seamless integration of magic into the plot. The spells and enchantments are imaginative and add a fun twist to the romantic storyline. The pacing is well-balanced, with just the right amount of tension and resolution to keep the reader hooked.

However, there were a few moments where the plot felt a bit predictable, and some of the magical elements could have been explored more deeply. Despite these minor issues, "The Wedding Witch" is a thoroughly enjoyable read that will leave you smiling.

Overall, Erin Sterling has crafted a charming and magical tale that is perfect for fans of romantic comedies with a supernatural twist. I highly recommend it for a cozy, feel-good read.

The Wedding Witch is pure magic! Bowen, a brooding witch, and Tamsyn, a clever magical artifact dealer, are thrown back to 1958 by a spell gone wrong. Together, they unravel a haunting mystery, navigate a glamorous Yuletide party, and fight their undeniable chemistry.
With spooky charm, hilarious banter, and a touch of romance, Erin Sterling delivers another spellbinding read that’s perfect for any season!

3.5 💫

Probably my favorite of the series! Very cute & quick read. The magic and time traveling had me intrigued in this one. A little behind on my ARCs, but I couldn’t help saving this until Christmastime (thank you NetGalley & Avon Books!)

Witchy, ghosty romcom in October? Say less! We travel back to Graves Glen by way of Bowen - the middle, bearded Penhallow brother - on his quest to right a ghostly wrong from his past. Witty, swoony, and the perfect mix of romance, spells, and sibling love, The Wedding Witch was a great third act in Graves Glen!

I really liked this book. I love how this series has grown on me. I didn't like the first at all but I have loved the second and now third! The writing was fun and the romance was romancing in this one. Two thumbs way up!

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling is the third installment of the Graves Glen series. This one centers around the 3rd brother, Bowen, and his jump into romance with a woman he foes into business with, Tamsyn. A little magic, a little time travel and another fun holiday romantic comedy type book. If you liked The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, check this one out!

This was a really satisfying conclusion to this trilogy! I'm loving this trend of witchy/paranormal/contemporary fantasy romances, and this series might be my favorite of the bunch. I loved Bowen and Tamsyn's story, and the time travel aspect of this one made it really gripping. The stakes were high, but not so high as to be uncomfortable. Great read!

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved the first two books in this series and I liked this one but not as much as the other two. My main problem was that I found the main relationship to be very underdeveloped. You get their first meeting and then some text messages and emails from their time in between and then the time travel and then they're in love with each other. I would have loved some more time during the in between to see how they fell for each other.

My favorite parts in the book were when all the brothers and the characters from the previous books were together. I LOVED seeing them all together.

3.5 stars rounded down.

2.5 ⭐️

I am a massive fan of “The Ex Hex” series … however, this one felt a bit lackluster to me.

Maybe it’s because I’m not into love-bombing/insta-love tropes. However, this story felt too kitschy to me. :(

3.5 on storygraph. I think this book would have benefitted by being longer. I think too much of this book was set in the past and we didn't get to see enough of the couple when they arrive back in modern times.
One thing I love about series like this is interaction with the previous MC's and I would have also liked to have more of that.
Even with the above criticisms, I ended up adoring the main couple and their relationship, I thought they were adorable. Everything ended tied up in a neat little bow, which is my favorite kind of story. I had a great time and will continue reading from this author.

Grumpy Meets Sunshine in a Spellbinding Romance

I absolutely adored The Wedding Witch! Erin Sterling does a fantastic job bringing the grumpy/sunshine dynamic to life. The characters were vibrant, and their chemistry was undeniable, making every interaction a delight to read. The banter was sharp and witty, perfectly complementing their opposites-attract connection.

The story’s pacing kept me hooked, and the magical elements added just the right touch of whimsy. While the romance was sweet and swoony, the spice level was moderate—enough to heat things up without overtaking the story.

If you’re a fan of well-rounded characters, sparkling banter, and a touch of magic, this book is a must-read! I’ll definitely be picking up more from Erin Sterling in the future.

📚 #BOOKREVIEW 📚
The Wedding Witch (The Graves Glen Series, Book 3) by Erin Sterling
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / Pages: 285 / Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: October 8, 2024

Bowen Penhallow has lived a lonely life locked away studying ancient magic all by himself. But it wasn’t always so. He had a best friend named Colin, who died in a magic spell gone awry, which Bowen blames on himself. So when Colin’s ghost begs him to attend the Yuletide wedding of his old girlfriend, Bowen can’t refuse. At the wedding, he runs into a work associate of his that he secretly harbors feelings for. And before you know it, the two are transported back in time to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958 and they have to figure out how to get back to the present.

This holiday witchy romance has it all: a Christmas wedding setting, time travel, witches, ghosts, and magic. Plus grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, one bed, and a fake relationship! I read the first book in this series but not the second, but I think you can easily dive into this one as a standalone.

Thank you, @ErinSterlingBooks, @Avonbooks, @HarperVoyagerUS, and @NetGalley for my gifted copy.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I love this series and was so excited to get to read the next book. I think you could read this as stand alone.

It took me a moment to get into this one, but I think that’s on me—I went in expecting a fall read when it’s actually a Yule-themed story! The storyline was cute, and I loved the cozy winter vibes. It made for a fun, low-stakes holiday read. While the beginning left me a little confused, things quickly fell into place, and the pacing picked up nicely. I’d rank this as my least favorite in the series so far, but I’d still be excited to read a fourth book if one is in the works!
