I enjoyed this one. Although the first two were a little better.
I did like the concept of time travel. But I was just hoping for a little more witchy theme like in The Ex Hex.

Erin Sterling's latest Graves Glen title is sizzling. Bowen Penhallow (witch) has hired Tamsyn Bligh (human) to procure magical items for him exclusively. They meet in person on Christmas Eve and share a perfect kiss under the mistletoe before Tamsyn shakes his hand to make their deal official. No getting romantically involved with co-workers. Their friendship and work develop over the course of the year and they find themselves at the same stunning estate just before Christmas Eve. This is a lighthearted love story, but the back story for both characters is so rich and full of depth. I love Tamsyn and Bowen and hope there will be more Graves Glen titles in our future.

Many thanks to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a fun follow up book to her pervious ones. They are always lighthearted and fun with a bit of witch business. Definitely had fun!

This one felt quite a-bit different from the rest of the books in the series—the macro plot felt a bit darker and the focus on Yule just made this a different read. I felt like this one was the most overly sexual too, and some of the spicy scenes unfortunately took me a little bit out of the story because they felt abrupt. I still enjoyed myself reading this but it wasn’t as strong for me as the first two books. Thank you for an advanced reader copy & a chance to review the book.

Book three of the Graves Glen series mixed it up a bit, because it was a Christmas book instead of a Fall book! Don't worry - it still has all the witches and witchy vibes. And even a human and a witch!!

In this book we dive into the story of the third Penhallow brother, Bowen. He makes a living by buying and selling witchy artifacts that he used his employee, Tasmyn Bligh, to find for him.


Under their contract, she is only to work for him exclusively. So imagine his surprise when he shows up to his dead best friends, ex-fiances wedding (I know... That's a lot) and finds Tasmyn there, going by a different name, looking for another artifact. Not just any artifact, but one worth 1 millions dollars.

But when they find themselves back in 1958 because of their shenanigans, they must work together to get back to the present.

This was a fun read and a perfect way for witch lovers to keep their Christmas season with a little bit of spooky! I would say this is my least favorite of the series. Definitely still read it, and let me know your thoughts !

This was a very cute Christmas-themed romance with some magical realism thrown in. You don't need to read the first two books to follow this one, it's fine as a stand-alone.

4.5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Very different than the previous books, but my new favorite!

Bowen & Tamsyn were such a fun pair! Their banter via text & email set the tone for their relationship very well. Their chemistry and spice was *chefs kiss*.

Then adding in time travel?! And snowy Christmas time (Yule)?! So so good!

I mixed reading with my ears and eyes. Great narration - highly recommend the audiobook.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for the chance to review an advance copy.

book three in the the ex hex series was actually a christmas themed one! this is kind of fun because it encompasses my love for witches and my desire for all things cozy right now, wrapped into one plot! 🤘🏻

our final penhallow brother finally meets the woman of his dreams and we get to see everybody happy & thriving. i enjoy how thoughtful and focused bowan is and how perfect tamsyn compliments him. she is the traveling sunshine to his grumpy live as a hermit in the woods ☺️💕

i would say you could read this as a stand-alone, but i think it would be better still if you read them in order so you better understand the other brothers & their partners. out of the series i would still say book two is my favorite!

I wish publishers wouldn't wait so long to publish books in a series-I had forgotten the characters a bit and it took away from my enjoyment of who was who-this didn't feel quite like a standalone. I enjoyed the banter and the details of living in a different time but I felt like it needed more details to flush out the plot.

Loved this third book in the series! It's been a while since I read the first two so it took some time to remember what happened before with the other characters and who these characters were LOL. It was a fun time and quick read with some spice. I've been interested in more time travel stuff so that aspect was fun as well and thought overall it was a cute story with a lot of quick twist reveals near the end!

Bowen Penhallow has always been a loner, studying dark and ancient magic on a mountaintop in Wales. He prefers it that way. But when his friend Colin—who happens to be a ghost—asks him to attend a Yuletide wedding at a grand estate deep in the Welsh countryside, Bowen reluctantly agrees.

Tamsyn Bligh is not a witch, but she makes her living off of them. As a procurer and seller of magical items, Tamsyn’s business is not always above board, but she’s been trying to fix that (mostly.) Bowen is an occasional customer—as well as the star of several of Tamsyn’s dreams and she also has gotten herself an invite to the Witchy Wedding of the Century in the hopes of finally making a score big enough to retire.

But Tamsyn isn’t the only one sneaking about in Tywyll House, and the mix of a very strong spell combined with a wedding mishap transports Bowen and Tamsyn into Tywyll House’s past, to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958. As Bowen and Tamsyn work together to get back to the present, they must also face off with the origins of Tywyll House’s haunting, the suspicions of their fellow witches…oh, and the fact that somewhere between the mistletoe and the bonfire, they might be falling in love.

This was a fun third installment to the series and I loved the time travel aspect. My only complaint compared to the other 2 books is there wasn’t really any Halloween and just a little Christmas. It works for the story but not as much if you’re expecting a Halloween story like the other 2 books. Thank you NetGalley and Avon publishing for an arc copy. 3.5 ⭐️

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling earns a solid four-star rating for its enchanting blend of romance, humor, and magic. The novel follows our spirited protagonist, Tamsyn, a human whose life takes an unexpected turn when she is tasked with procuring a magical relic for a client. The problem is she has promised Bowen Penhallow that he is her only client and they run into each other at an event she attends to get the relic. Sterling's writing sparkles with wit and charm, painting a vivid picture of a world where spells and wedding bells collide. The chemistry between Tamsyn and Bowen, a charming yet mysterious warlock, is electric, adding both tension and heart to the narrative. Sterling deftly balances the whimsical elements of her magical setting with the more grounded themes of love and self-discovery, creating a story that is as captivating as it is heartwarming.

While The Wedding Witch weaves a delightful tale, it occasionally treads familiar ground with some predictable plot elements that fans of the romance genre might anticipate. However, these minor issues do not detract significantly from the overall reading experience, thanks to Sterling's engaging prose and the rich, immersive world she creates. The novel's strength lies in its ability to blend light-hearted humor with moments of genuine emotion, inviting readers to explore the complexities of love, magic, and the courage to embrace one's true self. For those seeking a feel-good read with a touch of enchantment, The Wedding Witch offers a delightful escape into a world where anything is possible, and love is the most powerful magic of all.

Thank you to Netgalley and Publishers for giving me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review..

An easy 5 star holiday read that went straight to my top of Miss Sterling's books!! I absolutely adored every single minute of it. It was simple and adorable and the chemistry between Tamsyn and Bowen was sizzling, hands down my favorite match of the series so far. Loved other characters popping in briefly and not meddling with the overall plot or romance at all, an element I was def craving in previous installments. Bowen became my fav mmc of Sterling's, his straightforwardness was extremely endearing.
Overall I think the plot was simple enough it was easy to follow but so well written it never lost its quick pace nor my attention at all times. The ending was a bit rushed imo I so wished the stakes would've been higher and the epilogue way longer and juicier but im happy with the glimpses I got of happy domestic Tamsyn and Bowen.
Easily Erin's best book so far, pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Thank you to Avon, Harper Collins and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest opinion

This series is perfect for spooky season and this book is perfect for the time between spooky season and Christmas. It was fun, spicy and had time travel. Can’t beat it.

Thank you to Net Galley for a chance to read this! I read the first books in the series and was so excited to dig into this as well. Overall it was cute! I was excited to pick the book up when I put it down and that’s the most telling for me.

This was a cute witchy holiday read!! I didn’t realize you had to read the other books, so I will be doing that now lol

Being sent back in time can do a lot for two people . Will they come up out of it together?

I’ve been a fan of most of Erin Sterling’s books and this was no exception.

The characters, the setting, the story. They all come together to make magic.

Thank you Avon Harper and Voyager and NetGalley for the ARC.

Love this author, loved this book. Christmas? Sign me up! Add in magic, you’ve got me hooked! What else can I say!

This was… something but honestly, Erin Sterling could write anything and I’d read it so there’s that.

Hilarious, cute, and sexy romp through time with a little witchcraft during Yule makes it a great November read to tie over the two best holidays

This is the 3rd book in the Ex-Hex series. This follows Bowen Penhallow, who is a bit of a loner who studies ancient magic and remains reclusive. His friend, who is a ghost, asks him to attend a Yuletide wedding for him. Tamsyn is not a witch, but she is able to procure and sell magical items. From time to time, she procures magical items for Bowen. She ends up getting a job at Tywyll house where the wedding is happening. She's tasked to find an ancient artifact, but then a mishap occurs, and her and Bowen end up in the past. They have to figure out how to make it back to the present.

I enjoyed the idea of a haunted house that we got at the beginning of the story. This is a perfect read for the wintertime! I did miss the small town of Graves Glen where the other two books are set, but I really enjoyed the time travel aspect of this book!! I really enjoyed getting Bowen's story, too! It's such a cute, witchy romance with a bit of spice.
