A cozy fun witchy romance!

The Wedding Witch is book #3 in Erin Sterling’s Ex Hex series and follows the third Penhallow brother, Bowen. Bowen is on the hunt for various magical goods in order to right a past wrong and Tamysyn is the delightful human who Bowen hires to help procure these items. The witty banter, emails and texts between these two was one of my favorite parts of the book. Although there is a clear attraction between are two main characters, both try to keep a level of professionalism—until a magical artifact unexpectedly sends them back in time to 1957. The two must work together to figure out how to get back to current day.

I really enjoyed the humor that was sprinkled throughout the books, especially some of the side characters (lots of quirky characters in 1957!). The romance was quick but the two main characters were very endearing and I enjoyed their journey to love!

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Harper Voyager for sharing the digital advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

This was pretty good.

I enjoyed the subtle workplace romance aspect to it, and the pining they had for each other. The time travel bits and the snarky side characters were really great.

I listened to the audiobook and although the welsh accent for Bowen was great, it did make a few things confusing because some of the american characters were read in a welsh accent, and since it's been 2 years since The Kiss Curse, it took me a little while to figure things out.

I will say that The Kiss Curse remains my favorite, but I'm really happy that Bowen got his story.

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for an e-copy.

Ooooh I really hope this series doesn't end since it's about the 3rd & last Penhallow brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found this series because I love this authors books by another name but I'm glad I did. Love this witchy series & can't wait for more.

I would’ve like to see more plot and character development, there was certainly time. This book is under 300 pages in my version.

Some other reviews mentioned insta love and I get it. But the characters have known each other for some time so I didn’t mind it too much. We could’ve used more interaction, some additional quick scenes with them in the beginning besides the one would’ve been cute. Just to give us more of a sense of the flirty-ness between them.

It was cute, and quick. This is more a winter holiday theme than fall, FYI.

I would recommend if you are looking for something very light and uncomplicated, keep expectations low for nuanced plot or character development.

3.5🌟 This was a cute read! I loved the witchy aspect mixed in with the Christmas aesthetic, and the time travel arc gave me Outlander vibes. I loved the MCs as individuals and couples. I did think some parts bordered on a little too cheesy (the confession scene especially…), but overall I still enjoyed the book and will likely read it again at some point in the future!

There was nothing I actively disliked about this book but also nothing that really drew me to it. The romance was cute but felt a bit underdeveloped. It worked as a spooky season read but did lean more wintry. I do not think this book will stick with me long term but it was fun enough along the way.

The Wedding Witch is a cute holiday-themed paranormal rom com!

Tamsyn and Bowen are thrown back in time while on the search for a magical item that will grant Tamsyn a BIG payoff. On their journey to discover why they are transported to 1957, our two main characters are forced to confront their feelings towards each other. Tamsyn works for Bowen so they have never wanted to cross a line.

This story is low stakes and easy reading. There were times I felt a bit bored, but overall it was a cute story.

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling

Thank you @netgalley and @avonbooks for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a fun and fast read! There’s witches, magic, ghosts, time travel and of course love. It is very entertaining and a perfect cozy witchy read to get me in the mood for the fall and spooky season.

I wish there was more regarding the FMC and the MMC relationship. It was kind of rushed—from meeting each other and then instant love. But I did enjoy it and look forward to reading more from this author.

3.5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I was so happy to be back in Graves Glen (and traveling time) this season with Erin Sterling’s latest release. These books are always perfect for fall and I’ve long anticipated Bowen’s story. I loved the two main characters and their banter was so much fun. This was a little spicy with lots of comic relief and a nostalgic glance at past characters as well!

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up. 1.5 🌶️. This was such a cute, witchy romance. It was just as charming and light as the first two books. This would be a good book to segue from Halloween/fall reads to Christmas reads as it is centered around Yule. I really enjoyed the characters together as they tried to solve the mystery of why they were sent back in time. I also thought their email exchanges were super cute. Overall, this was a good conclusion to the Ex Hex Series and Penhallow brothers. This can be read as standalone. If you enjoyed the first two books, I think you’ll enjoy this one too!

Read it you enjoy:
✔️Witchy romance
✔️Dual POV
✔️Forced proximity
✔️Accidental time travel
✔️One bed

Thank you Avon and NetGalley for my arc!

Happy Pub Day! Thank you Erin Sterling, NetGalley & Avon books for this ARC! I have been glued to this series since the first book and could not wait for this one to release. I was so excited when I got the approval!

The Penhallow Brothers have been so fun to follow throughout the series and I was excited to learn more about the elusive Bowen. This was such a fun mix of spooky, yet holiday themed.

I highly recommend everyone to pick up this series and round it out with the Wedding Witch!

I loved this conclusion to the cozy witchy series from Erin Sterling! It was such a slow burn but the tension between Bowen and Tamsyn were well-worth it! I enjoyed this one and as always, I love seeing the callback to the other two couples from this companion series. I am so happy!

Coming into this book, I had some expectations. While I didn’t quite like the plot of The Ex Hex (I did enjoy the romance!) but I thoroughly enjoyed The Kiss Curse overall. So I didn’t have high expectations but I did have expectations.
I want to first say that I appreciate the atmospheric writing of The Wedding Witch, which I think is a strength of the author’s writing. Unfortunately I found it confused what the plot was going for. It was a combination of a fall and Christmas book, which I found to be lacking in both aspects. I enjoyed the romance overall, but I wished it focused much more on it. The Wedding Witch has a focus of both plot and romance but I do think it was more plot-heavy.
Overall while I did enjoy The Wedding Witch, I was expecting a bit more depth.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for providing this electronic advanced copy for review!

I loved the first two books in this series, ‘The Ex Hex’ and ‘The Kiss Curse', and I was excited to return to these characters. Just as the first two books, this third installment was a funny, charming, and magical read.

This book focuses on the third Penhallow witch brother, Bowen, and Tamsyn Blight, the woman he hires to be his magical object dealer. When a spell goes wrong at a wedding they are both attending in the Welsh countryside, Bowen and Tamsyn are sent 50 years into the past and must figure out how to fix the spell and return to the present.

I thought the main characters had great banter and I enjoyed the time travel plot in this one. Though I didn’t enjoy this installment as much as the first two, it was still a fun, cozy read.

(Honestly, my biggest complaint - not enough Sir Purrcival! I missed that silly talking cat.)

4 ⭐️ 1.5 🌶️

This was a fun way to get into the Fall/Holiday spirit. This has magical elements and a bit of Christmas sprinkled in. I enjoyed the dual POVs, even while written in third person. I enjoyed the Scottish touch and could easily visualize the castle and story when traveling back in time.

This has a few spicy scenes but can be skipped and not miss anything important. I enjoyed the time travel element and the growth of the MC’s as individuals and a couple. I really liked Emerald and the grand parents. The twist has a bit easy to guess, but this is a cute easy read and overall really enjoyed it!

This is the third in a series and I was not lost only reading the first one. This is an interconnected series and I really enjoyed all the characters, especially the talking cat 🐈‍⬛ and the Jones girls. I’m interested to go back and read the second in this series.

Why? Well, it takes place during December, and they have something important to do by the 24th. They celebrate Yule, which is like witchy Christmas, so this is definitely a perfect read for the holidays.

I won’t lie, I’m rounding up because the last 25% had me reading so FAST and the spice scenes were delicious! But, the book was super confusing at first—the world-building was fine, but the intro to the plot and where it was going? I was like, what the heck is happening? You get a lot of loose threads that, yes it's all tied up at the end but super rapid fire.. which is not my style if im honest.

Once you grasp what’s going on, though, it picks up and by that time you'll want to stick around to see what happens at the end!

I feel like I've been waiting so long for this one, and it absolutely did NOT disappoint. I loved the time travel aspect, I loved Bowen SO SO SO much, and I adored the relationship between him and Tamsyn, and Tamsyn was so freaking funny. This book was adorably charming and the perfect cozy fall/winter read.

3.7/5 👻

I've enjoyed this interconnected series of witchiness a bunch. This time we leave Graves Glen to go to Wales and follow the final Penhallow brother - a bearded mountain man who doesn't really interact or talk much with anyone. Until he meets Tamsyn - a magical artifact hunter for hire. For reasons, they end up going back in time to 1957 and have to fix whatever thing magic sent them back to fix and make their way back to the present. Also they need to figure out all these warm feelings they have for each other. Do not think too hard on the magical whys and hows - this book is real light on making the magic make sense - but it does have an only one bed scene that I adored. All the only one bed books for me please.

Throw this book in for your spooky season ready OR your winter holiday reading (it centers around Yule, so it really could cover whichever type of reading you want).

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review. The Wedding Witch is out now.

This is the third book in the Ex Hex series and it was as fun as the other two! I love these books for a rom-com, spooky, cozy feel in October.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Erin Sterling for an eARC of this book!

This was a quick, delightful romance that put me in the holiday spirit despite it still being spooky season. All three Ex Hex books have been charming and fun and The Wedding Witch is no exception. It was a quick read, almost felt a bit like a novella. We catch Tamsyn and Bowen in the middle of their working relationship that has quickly become more of a friendship although there are clearly feelings at stake. Most of the book takes place with them being thrown back in time and having to do some timey-wimey shenanigans to get back to the present. It's very cute, sweet and I honestly didn't know how they would solve the problem so that's always a fun place to be as a reader.

The relationship between Tamsyn and Bowen really worked for me and some of their hot scenes were extremely...hot. I only wish maybe I could have seen them fall in love a bit more even if that's not really the book we got. The mystery aspect was fun and I loved how zippy it was. A really cute book that will get you through the spooky season to holiday season limbo.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an honest review.
