Bowan is a warlock, he lives a secluded like in the mountains and he has been collecting magical artifacts.

Tamsyn is a mortal that has been acquiring these magical items for Bowan. He is quiet and uptight and she is free spirited. I loved their funny text threads.

She is supposed to be working exclusively for Bowan. While Bowan is gone for the holidays Tamsyn accepts a mysterious job wand it’s generous pay will allow her to retire.

Bowan is convinced by his friend Declan to go to a wedding where a past love is getting married. Declan is no longer living and a ghost. When Bowan gets to the wedding Tamsyn is there and lots of mysterious things start to happen. They time travel to the past and have to try and right what is wrong to return to their present.

I enjoyed the interesting plot. There was a bit of spice but could have done with a bit more. I liked the first book better but was still pleasantly surprised by this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was absolutely freaking hilarious and also so sweet. I really enjoyed Bowen and Tamsyn. Tamsyn is kind of a sunshine-y hot mess, and i just love her for it! Bowen is grumpy but with such a soft spot for her. I really loved the first few chapters, where they get to know each other through emails/texts/messages while Tamsyn works for him. I loved the time travel twist, and despite knowing it was coming was absolutely surprised when it happened. 😂

This was just a fun and sweet holiday read. Definitely recommend it for fans of grumpy/sunshine, time travel, and paranormal romance. Its also got some quality humor that I always appreciate in a book!

A huge thank you to @netgalley , @avonbooks and @erinsterlingbooks

The Wedding Witch was sweet, spicy, and festive all wrapped into one book! It had me swooning, loving the main couple and smiling at the found family/side characters! I absolutely loved reading this as one of my fall reads but it’s set at Christmas so if you’ve overcommitted on the spooky season reads, you can save this one for sometime over the next couple of months!

4 stars!

"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling is a charming delight! Unlike the last two books, which I felt lost steam midway through, this book stays compelling and engaging the entire time. I really liked the characters, I found myself rooting for them and got invested in their growing connection. The banter is delicious, the tension is palpable, the time travel plot is fun and wacky, and there's only one bed!!! Excellent spice, good humor, great secondary characters, and a lot of witchy silliness. Perfect for both Halloween AND Christmas (though it's technically more of a Christmas novel). I had a ton of fun with this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Erin Sterling, Avon, and Harper Voyager for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

A charming seasonal read! I'm a sucker for a romance where the leading man is shaken from his reverie of realization that he is in love by the object of his affection motivating him to action by calling him a dumbass. This is 80% banter and sexual tension, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't entirely understand how the resolution came about - it was pretty fast! - but ... I largely don't care, I had a great time along the way.

Thank you to Avon Books and the author for the gifted e-book.

This is the third book in the series, the Ex Hex and it was a delight.

This was a cute, witchy read. The sparks between Bowen and Tamsyn were utterly captivating, especially as they find themselves unexpectedly transported back in time to 1957. The mystery surrounding their time travel kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end, and even though we weren't sure why they were transported back, the result was satisfying. The supporting characters added much entertainment to the story, and the Christmas setting made it all the more enchanting, especially with the wedding in the backdrop.

If you're a fan of whimsical, witchy reads, I highly recommend picking up this book. It's out now and ready to be enjoyed!

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for the e-ARC of the 3rd installment of the Ex Hex series. Having read and loved both the Ex Hex and the Kiss Curse, I was over the moon to read about the third brother, Bowen Penhallow. I am a little sad to report that I went into this with too high of expectations and maybe that was the setup for disappointment. The story includes Tamsyn Bligh, who we may remember from the first book as a "villain" of sorts. There was a bit of insta-love trope which is never a favorite. In addition, there were some "mysterious" elements (like what really happened to Bowen's friend) and essentially the plot for the first third of the book that was lacking. Sticking with it, eventually a story line did develop and I'm glad I read it but I'd have to rank this a 3/5 stars and my least favorite story. Despite the witchy vibes, pick this up around Christmas because the Yule-time joy runs high.

4.5 Stars

I have loved this series since the first book, and have been eagerly waiting for it. I was so excited when I saw it up on NetGalley and even more stoked when I actually got a copy of it. This book did not disappoint in the slightest. Bowen and Tamsyn had me hooked from the very start, and I was mad every time I had to put this one down to go live my life.

This is the perfect fall read. It's what I like to call cozy spooky, which is right up my alley and something I always want to read this time of year. You've got the paranormal aspect of witches and ghosts and time travel. And one of the best trope combos of a fake marriage and only one bed. Plus, the chemistry between Bowen and Tamsyn is just so good!

This was such a fun, quick, easy, light read with the perfect amount of spice and angst. I don't know how you don't at least try to pick this one up this season. I seriously had such an amazing time with this book and will definitely pick it up again in the future.

Note: This is the third and final book in the series, but can easily be read as a standalone. (Though you should totally read the other ones because they were great too!)

✔️ Time Travel
✔️ Paranormal Romance
✔️ Quasi Boss/Employee
✔️ Forced Proximity
✔️ Fake Marriage
✔️ Only One Bed
✔️ Third Person Dual POV

The Wedding Witch is the third book in the Ex Hex series that I love so much! Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for this advanced copy.

I think my expectations were a bit different from what the book delivered. Instead of being back in the atmospheric Graves Glenn, we are in Wales around Christmastime. While the setting of this one was great, I did miss the spookiness from the first two books. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about the two main characters and their dynamic. The banter and spice was so enjoyable and made me love them more. However, I felt like their relationship happened so quickly with no real buildup. I would have also liked more backstory with Declan. In the end, I loved how all the plot lines tied together and hope to see more of these characters in the future. Would definitely recommend this book if you loved the first two!

This one was just okay.

I loved The Ex Hex and the Kiss Curse, but the Wedding Witch let me down. I was pretty confused on the switch to a Christmas romance after two Halloween romances, but I tried it out anyway, willing to give it a try. It’s definitely a quick, cute holiday romance. But the romance just didn’t hit for me. There is so much apparent buildup behind the romance, but the reader doesn’t really get to see any of that beyond a handful of emails. I get that introducing it all would have limited the space for actual plot but the actual plot could have been more involved in the two of them and their romance instead of a side quest. It’s very grumpy/sunshine and I love that but I wanted to see more of them together.

The plot itself was just okay, too. I liked the time travel aspect but the whole plot felt rushed and the end was left pretty unexplained. Two people going back in time was always bound to ruffle some feathers but I wanted something more dramatic to change than what actually did. The characters themselves are good and their clashing personalities made for a good romance in that sense. They, like the plot, just felt rushed. There was no time to develop them with everything else going on so they were a little flat for me.

This was good, but can’t compare to the first two books in the series.

This is the third book in Erin's Ex Hex Series. I wish I would have read the previous two first but I have been so slammed I didn't have time. I do think I will go back soon and read them. This book follows another Penhallow brother, in this book he is trying to find ancient magic items and stumbles upon Tamsyn.

This is a human, witch relationship which I found to be interesting. There is the element of time travel sort of which I have not read much of before. In the beginning of their work relationship Tamsyn was pretty against mixing work with pleasure but that changes obviously lol. This book did have some spicy scenes which was a plus.

Overall, this was a good read. I read some reviews of others and they said they liked the first two more. So I plan to give them both a read so I can have better insight on this.

This is the third book in the Ex Hex series, but you don't need to read the previous two to enjoy this one! Bowen Penhallow is a recluse mountain man of a witch who lives in Wales, and who occasionally hires Tamsen, a human artifact & antique dealer. They both attend a wedding in a haunted castle with ulterior motives in mind, but find they have somehow time traveled back to 1957. They must find a way to make it back to the present without altering the future.

I think this was my first crossover Halloween / Christmas book. It was such a fun and spicy Yule time read with witchy things being done on the side. Tamsen & Bowen had great chemistry and banter throughout the book. The side characters were also delightful, especially Emerald. The story turns into a time traveling mystery with fake marriage & instalove but I thought it was a magically entertaining read for this time of the year.

Thank you NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyager, and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! I've read all the books in this series and this one did not disappoint. I loved Bowen's story! How he fell first and thebtime travel! A great read!

I forgot how quirky this series is.

The last book in the series follow the recluse Penhallow brother, Bowen who hired Tamsyn, the magical acquirer. They were thrown back together in time and need to work together to solve the mystery and get back in their own time.

We started the book with them meeting together and then time jump as they work together. I wished we saw their history together as that seems lacking so I was shocked at around 40% when Bowen realized he loves Tamsyn. There's some sparks, but I felt like it was still lacking because they already have history together which we didn't see.

I love the time travel aspect of it, as it was also interesting to see the dynamics of witches back in time. This book was set in Christmas time which I think would've been a better setting if I read this in December.

The banter was funny but too much quirky imo and I cringed a lot which I think I am not in the mood to read, so that's on me. Still sad to see this series end and I am gonna miss the characters.

Such a fun Halloween - Christmas crossover read!
This was a fun addition to Erin Sterling’s witchy realm of books! I personally loved that Bowen was different than his brothers and Tamsyn was the perfect dose of quirky! Overall a fast read (I couldn’t put it down) and a fun storyline with a twist you don’t see coming!

Bowen Penhollow is a witch from a powerful family who is gruffly, quiet and mostly keeps to himself. Tamsyn is a human who works for witches and now exclusively for Bowen gathering magical items or artifacts. When she decides to take one last job she gets caught up in something unexpected at the witch wedding event of the year and runs into Bowen unexpectedly.

I’ve really enjoyed this series of witchy books and loved seeing Bowen get his story. I enjoyed the banter between Tamsyn and Bowen and liked them together. There’s time travel, ghosts, witches and some steam. I would prefer things to have an explanation in the end but this was a fun, quick read to end the series.

3.5 🌟

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 recommend this book to anyone that want a witchy vibe inside a Holiday book!

"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling is an absolute delight, blending witchy magic, time-travel adventures, and a high-chemistry romance that will keep readers thoroughly entertained. Bowen Penhallow, a brooding sorcerer with a penchant for studying dark magic in solitude, finds himself roped into attending a Yuletide wedding at Tywyll House—a grand estate in Wales—thanks to his ghostly friend Declan. Meanwhile, Tamsyn Bligh, a savvy seller of magical artifacts (and human), has her own reasons for attending the "Witchy Wedding of the Century." When an accidental spell sends the pair back to 1957, the plot thickens as they navigate the haunted estate’s mysterious past, their undeniable chemistry, and, of course, witches and ghosts.

This book is hands down my favorite of the series! The chemistry between Bowen and Tamsyn is off the charts, and their witty banter had me laughing throughout. Bowen’s sassy, brooding personality is the perfect foil for Tamsyn’s clever, somewhat morally flexible charm, and their interactions practically sparkle. The time-travel element adds an exciting twist to the already magical atmosphere, making their journey both adventurous and romantic. The setting in Tywyll House is a true standout—Sterling does an amazing job of creating cozy ambiance with roaring fires, festive bonfires, and even a few gin cocktails to set the perfect fall mood.

Whether you’re drawn to the magical world, the ghostly mysteries, or the sizzling tension between Bowen and Tamsyn, "The Wedding Witch" has something for every reader. It’s lighthearted, fun, and spooky in just the right way for a holiday read, and with witches, time-travel, and an unforgettable romance, it’s the perfect way to escape into a magical adventure.

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and Netgalley for this arc! I love this fun witchy series so much!

I think this one was the craziest one yet! We have…
✨a welsh mountain man(witch)
✨a quirky american procurer of magical items
✨a spooky wedding in a spooky mansion
✨a time jump (WHAT?)
✨unstable magic

This one has a slower start for me than the others, but once I got invested I was so here for this little grumpyxsunshine duo.

We get a little bit of cameos from Vivi and Rhys and Gwyn and Wells, but this is definitely all about Bowen and Tamsyn.

I assume this was her last book in this series since all the brothers got their HEA! But can’t wait to see what else the author comes up with!

The Wedding Witch is the third in a witchy holiday trilogy that started with the Ex Hex. Unlike the first two novels centered on Halloween, the Wedding Witch takes you to a haunted castle on the cusp of a wedding during Yule.

Grumpy Penhallow brother Bowen hires artifact hunter Tamsyn. Unknowingly they both end up in similar circumstances.

Part romance, mystery, adventure and holiday... made for quite a bit of fun!

Thank you to Netgalley, Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC.
