Thank you so much Avon for this exciting eARC!

My favorite in the series! This was such a great conclusion to the Penhallow Brothers and their romances! It was full of hilarious moments and plenty of magic, perfect for this spooky season! Bowen has always been a very minor side character in the other two books so having him be the main character for this was so exciting! Finally learning who is behind the mountain man persona was a delight!

I love that we brought back a minor character from book one, Tamsyn Bligh, to be Bowen’s love interest! I also adored the emails and texts exchanged between them in the beginning, shining a little humor and flirtation between the two. While I really loved the journey these two take, I was left really confused how it all ended up working out? I feel like maybe I’m just a real jerk because I’m unsure how going back in time to do what they did resulted in this tightly wrapped ending? I don’t want to give away any spoilers but if you read it too, PLEASE talk to me so I can try to understand!

Overall, I flew through this book and couldn’t put it down! I wanted to know what was going to happen and really rooting for these two idiots to just kiss (again) already! The side characters were full of witty humor and the book was cute, festive, and a little spicy! The perfect book if you’re looking for a fun read or a fan of the previous books!

Perfect if you love:
-Festive reads ( Halloween pub date about magic but set in a Christmas/Yule setting)
-Coworkers to lovers
-Magical elements
-Time Travel

I couldn’t wait to pick up the third book in one of my favorite spooky series and was a little thrown off to see it was more of a Christmas read (well, actually Yuletide). Either way, the witchy vibes were perfect for an October read!! I really liked both main characters, particularly the introverted and broody Bowen. I also really enjoyed the time travel element! Overall, a fun, cozy ready perfect for a Halloween (or holiday) read!

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!!

The The Wedding Witch is the newest book in the The Ex Hex series and I was so excited to recieve an ARC of this anticipated release!

Overall, I found this book to be a fun and fast read and I really enjoyed how easy of a read this was. I was looking for a light fluffy romance and this one really delivered. Unlike the other books in this series, this one doesn't have a super spooky/halloween atmosphere and instead set in winter with a tiny bit of holiday cheer. I personally did not mind this but it does stray from the other reads.

I overall found the romance fun and really enjoyed how the characters had feelings for each other for a while and enjoyed being in each others company. I don't think the romance was super indepth and could have used more developement, but the romance is such low stakes that I didn't mind.

The plot was also interesting and I like how they got sent back in time and had to figure out how to get back home. It was fun seeing them work together at the end and I did enjoy how everything wrapped up.

I will say ultimately this book is nothing super gut wrenching nor had me giggling or obsessed with the romance but I personally didn't mind it. Its nice to just have a fun quick read and this book truly delivered. The audiobook was also nice but the narrator really struggled with American accents lol

If you are looking for a fun holiday romance I def recommend it!

I just love this cozy little series. This one was about Bowen, grump and hermit, and Tamsyn, magical artifact hunter. Bowen hires Tamsyn to be his exclusive acquirer, but she can't resist a secret job finding a million-dollar magical broach. Her quest takes her to a wedding in Wales where Bowen also happens to be a guest. They get thrown back in time thanks to said broach, and now they have to figure out how to get back. Oh and they're both harboring feelings for each other.

I loved the dynamics between Bowen and Tamsyn, and I super enjoyed their trip back to 1957. The book is very readable, and I couldn't wait to keep going back to it-- work was getting in the way of my reading! I did feel like the ending was a little fast, and I would have appreciated hearing more about how their time traveling problems wrapped up once they got back to the future. But I definitely enjoyed this just in time for spooky season!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my thoughts.

4.5⭐️

Loner and magical hermit, Bowen, loses his best friend to a spell gone wrong and his ghost asks him for a favor. Unable to refuse, he attends a wedding where he runs into his recently contracted magical item procurer, Tamsyn. After a major wedding mishap, Bowen and Tamsyn are sent back in time to undo the things that can be undone. Hoping to get back to their time, they need to figure out what needs to be undone- and maybe even fall in love in the process.

A perfectly witchy book for Fall, so happy to be back in the world of the Penhallows!

This was my favorite of all 3 books! I’ve never been into Werewolf man romances… but Bowen definitely works for me! This book was engaging and interesting, I was able to read it so fast and never felt bored!

Once I got past the name ‘Tamsyn’, I really fell in love with both of the main characters. Get you a man who loves you like Bowen 😭 For such a rough and tumble man, he has such a sweet and gooey heart. Also loved the one bed trope, it came in clutch at the best time!!! And Bowen’s Welsh nicknames were just the sweetest and gave me warm fuzzies every time he used them. I loved the witty banter between Bowen and Tamsyn- hilarious and clever, it never felt cringey or too much.

This book was so exciting and fun, it was such a great read. A great way to end the trilogy- though I hope this isn’t the last we’ve heard from Graves Glen!

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyager for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

Erin Sterling is back at it with THE WEDDING WITCH, a breezy book that blends magic and romance into an enjoyable read.

I live for these seasonal books :) We are back in Graves Glen and this is a mix I guess of a spooky and holiday book! This book follows Bowen Penhallow (a Penhallow brother) and Tamsyn (a human). Bowen is one of the Penhallow witches and Tamsyn works for him. Overall, I really enjoy this series, especially this witchy time travel magical story! My only note is the relationship did progress very quickly like 0-1000 but if you like loveable characters and a witchy spooky holiday book, try this!!

This book, like its predecessors, is like dipping into a warm bath and just letting your bones relax.

Thank you NetGalley for the early access to read this!

This was a really fun, easy to get through story. This had a plot that flowed really well and the chemistry between the two characters came across on the page. I think if you’re looking for a fun, spicy romance about magic and the holiday times then this is for you. I think this was a fun addition to this series.

I LOVED this book!! There were so many likeable characters. I loved the relationship between the two main characters, and there was just enough spice! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Erin Sterling has done it again with such a cozy wonderful read for the autumnal season! With a perfect mix of adventure, mystery, family and friends, as well as the most interesting love mix, she creates a cozy witchy type of book that will bring you on back to Graves Glen series. i also loved the mix ins for the Christmas season and how the combination made me so excited for the seasons!

This book was fabulous. It's a spicy Christmas novel with time travel and witchiness. I loved the magical aspects and most definitely the time travel. Tamsyn the love interest for Bowen was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. I devoured this book in one sitting. The book hooked me right away and I couldn't put it down.

I loved this, one of Sterling's best yet. It was so romantic! The prologue alone got me, I love some chemistry that has a solid year of background, it makes the whole falling in love piece so much more believable.

So excited to be back with the charming Penhallow brothers. The way I squealed when I got this eARC of The Wedding Witch. I couldn’t wait to see what Bowen was up to in his book, but was a little surprised to find Tamsyn (from the Ex Hex) was the FMC. I wasn’t sure I was going to like her, let alone how she would fit into Bowens story but she definitely delivered and I ended up loving her (no one could ever outshine Gwyn from the series though, sorry Tamsyn!). This book takes place during Yule, so def a later christmasy vibe, but still such a fun fall read.

The Wedding Witch is a faced paced witchy read where witch Bowen and human Tamsyn find themselves travelingo back in time to Yule 1957 after fate has them working together. I know Bowen is supposed to come across to be grumpy, but I found him to be a cinnamon roll immediately, and the flirting banter between the two, so good! The spicy scenes are definitely spicier than the first two. If you’re a fan of the series you also get to see what the other brothers are up to, and I was delighted to see another Jones woman tied to the story 👀👀. I will say throughout put the series I need to know what Simon Penhallow is up to, I feel like there’s more to that story that I’ve been waiting to hear throughout this entire series.

Started very slow and with the chain of text/ emails in a very confusing fashion where it became a chore trying to figure out which character sent which, I came close to dnf'ing. Glad I persevered though, because the story took off when a bride left the altar screaming her previous suitor's name. No spoilers, but once it got going, it was worth it.
Rounded up from 3.5⭐

I loved the first half of this book, it was a quick read and even though the I loved the time travel aspect of the story, something about it slowed the pacing down, and I started slugging through it. I thought the ending was a nice little twist! Overall, The Wedding Witch is an enjoyable Fall/Holiday read!

I didn't care for Bowen's broody character. I enjoyed the first books in the series but I don't think this one was a good addition.

I've been a little lukewarm on this series, but it went out on a high note with The Wedding Witch! Bowen and Tamsyn's story was by far my favorite of The Ex Hex series. The pair had great chemistry and banter throughout this cozy Welsh, Christmas/Yule/holiday, time-travel romance. The ghost storyline and mystery elements added the perfect amount of spooky and fun intrigue. A great book to pick up in either the fall or winter holiday season!

The third and final installment in Erin Stirling’s Graves Glen series is a perfectly breezy witchy holiday romance. Taking place over Yule/Christmas with a magical storyline, this book is perfect to read in the fall, as the temperature cools and the sun sets earlier in the day.

Bowen Penhallow is a serious, almost hermit-like witch, who lives in a remote cabin in his native Wales while doggedly pursuing a magical cure to the tragic experiment-gone-wrong that caused his best friend to disappear years earlier. In his quest, he hires acquirer Tamsyn Bligh, a beautiful American woman, to help him find rare magical objects that might hold the answer to his search. Tamsyn has a firm rule against getting entangled with anyone she does business with, but their attraction for one another is mutual and immediate. When Tamsyn takes an extremely lucrative job acquiring a magical brooch from a witchy wedding in Wales, she and Bowen end up needing to work together to break the curse that connects their problems across generations.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly from start to finish, despite its insta-love trope. The steamy scenes here are excellent, and the setting over Yuletide made it a perfect cozy read for fall/winter. I would highly recommend this as a quick and easy holiday romance with a good dose of magic and heart! 3.5 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my eARC, in exchange for an honest review.
