I have adored every book in this series, and "The Wedding Witch" is no exception. This is definitely a Christmas book, not a Halloween book like the others (which is made clear by both the cover and the description, no surprises there), but that didn't keep me from enjoying it.
Admittedly, Bowen was the sibling I was least interested in, we know very little about him going into this book, but I really loved getting to learn more about him. I also loved Tamsyn and getting to learn more about her character and background after meeting her briefly in the first few books.
Since readers had so little information about Bowen going into his book, I felt like there was a lot of catch up that had to be done. I wish a little more time was spent in this book or previous books setting up his backstory (which drives the entire plot of the book), rather than dropping not to subtle hints until his past is finally explained. I also thought that the primary problem that motivated him was resolved a bit quickly given that it was his entire personality for most of the book. However, I can't say that I came to this book for the intricacies of the plot, so I can't really complain.
Overall, this was a ton of fun. I don't know if this is intended to be the conclusion of this series, but I certainly wouldn't complain about more books set in this world.
4 stars
Thank you NetGalley and Avon for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This was such a sweet addition to this series. Love the grumpy sunshine trope and these two were also opposites attract. Bowen hires Tamsyn to help him find artifacts since she's very good at procuring them. I love their banter through emails and texts. She is relentless with the teasing and he's pretty stoic. They both have attraction they haven’t acted on, cause work colleagues, until they end up at the same wedding.
I loved the mystery of going back in time and their romance progressing since they were playing a couple. The insight into his own parents as he got to watch his grandparents wedding day and try to help fix it. So much fun, great banter and chemistry! So fun!

This is what a holiday book should be, let me tell you. I'm So glad that Bowan got his story and we got to revisit the Pennhallows again.

4.5 stars! I love this series so much, and this book was
no different. The easy banter and chemistry between Bowen and Tamsyn were incredible. Loved all the characters and that plot twist was awesome. Really great!

This book had a bit of a slow start but it ramped up in the end. The Christmas season is mentioned and felt but ai missed the fall setting and cozy village setting. I enjoyed the conclusion of this series but I did feel like it was the weakest of the three. The couple is cute and sweet but if feels very fast from we can't be together to I love you everything tied up with a big red bow. I would have liked the ending to be a little more explained.

The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling is the third book in this fun series. Bowen Penhallow is the loner between him and his siblings. Tamsyn works to get magical artifacts for buyers despite the fact she has no powers. Bowen hires her to find thing for him on his quest to save a friend. They. Both end up at a Yuletide wedding for different reasons, and a magical artifact sends them back in time. As they work to find their way back to the future and solve the mysteries of the estate they’re visiting, they also find they might be falling for each other.
I really enjoyed this story. I loved Tamsyn and Bowen together; however, sometimes the time travel took me out of the story a bit. I would give this 4.5 stars out of 5 and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a witchy romance during the Halloween season.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for access to an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

The Wedding Witch is the charming continuation of The Ex Hex series, this time following Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn Bligh. There is magic, some mishaps, and plenty of cozy Yuletide imagery to conjure up some holiday spirit. Bowen is a gruff loner who spends most of his time conducting magical research in order to fix a spell gone wrong from his past. Tamsyn is a human who has been making her living by procuring magical artifacts for hire through mostly above board means. When they end up at the same haunted Welsh manor for a Yuletide wedding, a powerful spell gone wrong sends them back in time. Racing against the clock, Bowen and Tamsyn must find a way to send themselves back to their own time before they end up stuck in the past forever, or worse.
I loved the banter and chemistry between Tamsyn and Bowen! Their dynamic was so sweet and funny, and when they give into their attraction, pretty spicy as well. The plot moved pretty quickly and was very engaging. My only complaint was that the resolution did leave me with an unanswered question, but overall I felt that it wrapped up really nicely. I enjoyed getting to see the characters from the prior books in the series, and wished that we could have seen a little bit more of them. I genuinely had such a good time reading The Wedding Witch, and I hope that Sterling continues writing in this universe in the future.
The Wedding Witch is the perfect blend of spooky season and holiday season vibes with a sweet and spicy romance at its heart.

I absolutely love this series and couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. Loved the characters, the time travel plot was super fun and some good spice too. I know that Bowen is our last Penhallow brother but I am going to need more Graves Glen!

This was actually such an adorable and precious romance! The vibes were actually immaculate - it was so cozy and I ate it up like candy! It was so wholesome and the relationship does move fast but it works for them! Tamsyn and Bowen were actually goners for each other and it was adorable to see them give in 😍
Definitely recommend for a softer witchy vibe!

So good to be back with the Penhallow boys. This time we finally get to meet Bowen. The mysterious of the three brothers. Bowen hires Tamsyn (a crossover character from the second book) to procure magical items for him. Both on their own mission, they run in to each other and find themselves accidentally sent back in time. They need to work together to get back to the present and finish what they started. The attraction is there from the start and I loved the build up of their relationship. Tamsyn is the perfect counterpart to Bowen’s curmudgeon personality. This book was so fun and a nice finisher to the trilogy.

Perfect October read! From a stunning writing style to a fast-paced storyline, adorable characters, and an engaging plot, I loved everything about this book. I haven't read the other ones in the series, but now I'm super curious. A perfect choice to add a romantic touch to a weekend.

The Wedding Witch follows the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, as he goes to a wedding with a friend and learns that his employee, Tamsyn, is there. The employee with whom he is completely enamored. It turns out she is there on a job for someone else, which is against their arrangement. It's also against Tamsyn's rules to date someone she works with, but when someone is as hot as Bowen is, there are only so many promises you can keep.
Like the other Graves Glen, this book is sexy and witchy and perfect for this time of year. Unlike the others, it is also about the Yule, so will be perfect through the holidays as well! This was fun and enjoyable; I would definitely recommend!

Most people who enjoyed the first two books in this series will likely enjoy The Wedding Witch - it was fast-paced and easy to read like the others in the series. I struggled with the plot a bit and would've preferred if this was a Halloween rather than Christmas/Yule book. I would have appreciated more time spent with the two main characters developing their feelings for each other, but I did like both characters.

The third in the Graves Glen series (but could be read out of order, honestly), this features middle brother, Bowen, and the woman he hired to hunt magical artifacts for him, Tamsyn. They attend the wedding weekend of Bowen's late-best friend's former fiance, at a house in Wales that's clearly haunted (and to a bride who probably would prefer not marrying the current fiance).... and they are transported back to 1957 to the wedding of Bowenx's. grandparents who may be calling their nuptials off. Bowen and Tamsyn need to figure out how to get back to their present - is it seeing them married? Is it stealing a brooch? - but in the meantime they figure none of the rules of dating a coworker apply.
This is surface level fun, like everything in the series has been. I really enjoy it while reading it, but it's not something that digs deep into your memory afterwards.

Number 3 in The Ex Hex series, Wedding Witch was a cute mixture of lighthearted romance and holiday (Halloween / Yule / Christmas) coziness. The plot drove most of the story, adding in time travel and the search for magical objects. The romance in the story between the two MC’s could have gone deeper for me, but it was still a fun read for the season! A cute addition to the already fun series, for sure 👏🏼 thanks to Netgalley and Avon for the copy!

The latest installment in the Ex Hex series is a delight! Bowen, the last Penhallow brother to find love, is a bit of a recluse, a grumpy magic historian who rarely leaves his Welsh mountaintop. Tamsyn is an American who procures magical artifacts for the right price. Hijinks ensue but they find the only way forward is by helping each other. Sparks fly, and not just the magical ones! Just the right amount of steam. Perfect for Halloween and Yule!

I couldn't wait to read Bowen's story as as I loved "The Ex Hex" and "The Kiss Curse"! While overall, I enjoyed this book - it is definitely a shift from the previous two. I was confused if this was a fall/spooky season romance or a Christmas novel because there was a mix of both. I like how the original took place in the fall setting.
With that said this, book is about the last Penhallown brother, Bowen, and Tamsyn. Tamsyn works for Bowen, and she stumbles upon a situation far beyond her control that requires Bowen's help. Through their search of an artifact, they end up on a time traveling adventure which requires them to rectifying past mistakes to return to their time.
I love grumpy/sunshine and boss/employee tropes, but it just didn't fully work for me in The Wedding Witch. Personally, I felt there romance was lacking and they jumped into a relationship so quickly. While there was good banter between the two, I felt the build up to their romance wasn't as strong as the previous two books. However, I did like the spiciness between Bowen and Tamsyn.
While the romance in this installment felt somewhat underdeveloped, transitioning abruptly from zero to a full-blown relationship without sufficient build-up, the witty banter between the protagonists remained a highlight. "The Love Spell" also boasts a spicier tone compared to its predecessors. Overall, while I found the first two books more satisfying, this entry still provides a fun, fast-paced read. The time-travel concept, though potentially clichéd, is executed with a degree of originality.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading the first two books, "The Ex Hex" and “The Kiss Curse.” Erin Sterling has a captivating way in writing witch stories that are comfy and perfect reads for the fall season. “The Wedding Witch” was very cute and I am glad we had a book based on Bowen Penhallow. This story follows Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn, who was featured I believe in book one. Bowen is one of the Penhallow witches and Tamsyn is non witch. Bowen hires Tamsyn to find special artifacts that contain magic. Tamsyn is very good at her job but then decides to take another job and it ends to out to be a complete disaster. Bowen and Tamsyn team up together and of course end in a romance. It was adorable how both had feelings for eachother and the angst was really there. of course we had a force proximity and I loved everything about it. I also loved how we were able to read about our first two Penhallow bothers. Thank you so much NetGalley and publisher for giving me this amazing opportunity. Of course, I bought a physical copy.

Witch & human
One bed
She falls, he falls harder
“It sucks,” she said. “Being virtuous. Having . . . a code or whatever. Rules. Especially when you’re over there, looking like that—not that I can see you, but I see you with my eyes closed every night anyway.”
Bowen is a recluse artifact collector who happens to be a witch. He wants all the rare items he can get his hands on. He’s been working with a company for the last year and decides he needs to meet one of them in person to hire them full time only to collect for him.
Tamsyn is an artifact dealer but she’s human. She was briefly in the previous book during a slight disaster that left Bowens brother disliking her for being careless. She’s since been on the straight & narrow. She shows up for a meeting with Bowen but before she agrees to his terms on the way out of the pub they walk right under a mistletoe. Gotta kiss the boss before he’s the boss. 😍
They spend the next year working & not seek h eachother but sending a few flirty texts back and forth. They make plans to meet again on Christmas Eve at the same pub as the year before. During Yule with his family, Bowen, is made to wear a sweater and takes a selfie (that gets him questioned on who it’s going to) to send to Tamsyn. She of course loves it & the sweater. He is wishing she didn’t say she wouldn’t date someone she was working with & she is thinking of taking a new job that would be her 1 mil when she said she’d only work for him.
They both end up canceling the meet up for reasons that are the same but they don’t know it yet. Bowens ghost friend Declan wants him to attend his exs wedding because he can’t as a ghost & Tamsyn is attending in a fake persona for the job.
Of course they immediately run into each other. Of course the house is haunted. But the woman getting married freaks out and thinks that her ex that died is the one haunting them. She ends up casting a spell and Tamsyn & Bowen get sent back in time to when his grandparents are supposed to be getting married.
As the wedding has been called off for the moment, they are now housed with everyone else and given a room to share. With only one bed and oh do they take advantage of the one bed.
They eventually fix all that needs fixed and end up back at home. It was such a fun book & tbh I think the only thing is that we needed a little more at the end about Carys & Declan. That felt too resolved too fast! But I enjoyed this book a lot! Easy read, cute and slightly steamy!

The Wedding Witch is the third book in the Ex Hex series, and one that does not disappoint. The previous two were cozy fall books that took place in the small Georgian town of Graves Glen. However, this story follows the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, on his quest to save his friend--and finds help (and love) with Tamsyn, a woman he employed to help him discover magical items. They are both thrust into a haunted mystery--and through time.
This book was definitely my favorite in the series thus far, and I love that it takes place in Wales, and over Yule (Christmas). Definitely a cute and cozy holiday read! A solid 4 stars.
