Erin Sterling is always a great time. Is it Pulitzer writing? No, but that’s not why I grab them. I’m looking for a fund, witchy romp and that’s exactly what she serves up.
The execution of some of my favorite romance tropes (like grumpy/sunshine and only one bed) was great and I love returning to this world!
The relationship was a little quick but the banter was *chefs kiss*

3.5* I love this series and this installment did not disappoint. We are back following another Penhallow brother and getting a steamy romance with a touch of magic! These vibes are incredible, and I recommend this series to every reader during the fall season!
Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for a copy of this book. It is out on October 8th!

If you’ve been following my reviews for awhile, you know I absolutely adored the first two books in the Witches of Graves Glen series, and honestly, the third was no exception to the rule. I devoured this one in less than 24 hours and had so much fun doing it. Not only do we get witches at Christmas time, cameos from our faves, AND Bowen Penhallow trying to navigate…well, navigate being social, we get mysteries and accidental time travel and sleuthing and of course, only one bed, in the way only Erin Sterling can give us. From the get go, Tamsyn and Bowen’s relationship is an instant favorite due to the email transcripts we get a firsthand look at, and it only gets better and better as the story progresses and the two love-filled fools start to realize they’re actual feelings at the most inopportune time. Watching the awkward moments and progression of their journeys to each other was a blast, and when you toss in the ticking clock and the climax of the book leaving me turning the pages like a mad woman, you know you’ve got a good one. And the even better news? This can be read both as a spooky season book AND a holiday read, so you really have no reason not to pick it up!

3.5 stars (rounded up!)
This book was such an entertaining, cozy, and funny read! It's incredibly fast-paced, with a fun time travel adventure that was so fun to read. As the third installment after The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, I didn't realize at first that it leans into Christmas vibes!!! But it still felt like the perfect cozy witchy read that could be perfect for any of the fall months. It definitely got me into an early holiday spirit <3
Grumpy x sunshine
Ghosties and witches

When autumn rolls around, I always crave cozy, small-town witchery, and for the past couple years, Erin Sterling's Ex Hex books have been a highlight of the season. Where "The Ex Hex" and "The Kiss Curse" are fun Halloween-y romps, "The Wedding Witch," offers a different spin on things, with its Yule-tide setting and time travel element – something that can be an extremely slippery slope. But fear not: Erin Sterling navigates it well, providing a step back in time that is incredibly fun and doesn't upset the paradoxical rules of the space-time continuum.
The story follows Bowen Penhallow, the middle Penhallow brother who is basically a recluse, spending all his time working on a secret project, far away from people, and Tamsyn, a human we met in "The Ex Hex" (but it's okay if you haven't read it!) and who works to procure magical objects for witches. Bowen has an exclusive contract with Tamsyn as he continues to work on his project—and he is desperately in love with her but knows nothing can ever come of it because 1) they work together, and 2) his family loathes her. But when Bowen and Tamsyn show up at the same wedding, they are swept back in time to the 1950s to retrieve an artifact and solve a mystery before they exhaust their window to get back to the present.
Despite being set during the winter holidays rather than autumnal Halloween, this is a fun tale and it's extremely easy to love both Tamsyn and Bowen, who will make you laugh out loud and swoon in turn. And yes—there is very good spice here. So if you want a cozy, witchy read that will heat you up when it's particularly chilly out, definitely add this one to your TBR!

This is the 3rd book in the series, which I honestly didn’t realize, however, I don’t think that impacted the story at all. I really enjoyed this story and loved the time travel aspect of it. I also really enjoyed the witches and humans storyline. The setting was perfect and I loved all the combinations of powers, magical artifacts and different types of species such as ghosts and witches and humans.
The main characters, Bowen, a witch, and Tamsyn, a human, are transported back in time to 1975 to fix something and figure out how to get home all while falling in love. It was a captivating story that kept my attention and I loved the chemistry and banter and everything about the story. It had spooky vibes at Christmas time and I am totally here for that. I am definitely going to have to go back and read the first two books now.

When I heard Erin Sterling was releasing a new installment in "The Ex Hex" series set during Yuletide, I couldn’t resist diving in. I was delighted to return to Graves Glen with Sterling's latest installment, "The Wedding Witch." This novel masterfully blends spookiness, Yuletide cheer, and just the right amount of spice, making it an ideal read for the holiday season. It was a fun, enchanting read that blended the magic of the season with Sterling’s signature wit and charm. The novel offers a perfect balance of mystery and romance, with enough twists to keep readers eagerly turning the pages. Whether you're a fan of the series or new to Graves Glen, "The Wedding Witch" is a delightful addition to your holiday reading list.

A fun, magical romp of a novel. Bowen and his magical object acquirer Tamsyn are thrown back in time to 1957 due to a spell that was uttered by an upset bride before her wedding. They have to struggle with finding a way to return to the future and save themselves and those involved while finding their love for each other along the way. The banter is hysterical and the plot was different from what I was expecting it to be. Even though it takes place around Yule (Christmas) it still works as a great spooky season novel.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the chance to read an early copy of The Wedding Witch. I really enjoyed Bowen’s and Tam’s love story. The story was fast moving and filled with magical occurrences and romantic moments set at Yule time. The secondary characters were interesting and I wish the story was a little longer, so I could have had more time with Emerald and Elspeth in particular. If you enjoyed the previous books in the series, you will definitely want to read Bowen’s story.

THE WEDDING WITCH is a bit of a holiday crossover with witchy characters doing witchy things at Christmastime. I loved the cozy UK setting and I’m always up for a grumpy, hunky loner falling in love with a chaotic woman!
I do feel like I could copy and paste the majority of my review for book two (THE KISS CURSE) into this one but I didn’t expect perfection here. The banter is fun and the time travel was entertaining and even if the magical elements made zero sense to me, I flew through this festive romance in one sitting.
I think what stood out for me the most here was the double dose of holiday cheer and the side character, Emerald. I would have rated this higher had the relationship between the lovebirds been a smidge more developed, but I’m likely being too picky! It was cute and festive and a little spicy! What more do I really need?
🏆 THE WEDDING WITCH and THE KISS CURSE are tied for my favorites in this series. You can totally read them as standalones considering I had forgetten every single detail from books one and two and was just fine.
🎄Despite the setting (and adorable cover!) I feel like this was more halloweeny than christmassy. This is definitely festive, but can easily be read during any of the "-ber" months!
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy! All opinions are my own!

I love the Ex Hex series! This third installment is no exception! Bowen + Tamsyn = 😍 I was so happy to be back in Graves Glenn! Even if only for a little bit as they time travelled to another year and place for the majority of the book. The Wedding Witch is a spicy, witchy, CHRISTMASSY read! Erin Sterling added a nice little twist with making this a Yuletide witchy book instead of the same setting as the previous two which took place during Halloween time in Graves Glenn. The cover is just as cute as the first two books and you even get a little bit of my favorite talking cat in the beginning. I was bummed out that he wasn’t in it more though. He’s definitely my FAVE character. I have to rate this third in the series because The Ex Hex definitely has my heart and The Kiss Curse is right behind it! This one is cute though! I definitely recommend!
I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book from NetGalley. This review is honest, unbiased and completely my own.

A charming and sweet tale that I highly recommend if you are looking for an easy, magical Christmas read! I have read "The Ex Hex" but have not yet read the second book in this series. It didn't make any difference in terms of my understanding or enjoyment to skip the second volume.
Our MCs are Bowen and Tamsyn. Bowen is precisely the kind of brooding bearded Scottsman that sets my heart on fire, and I loved him. He's tormented by a mistake that he made back in his college days, and won't rest until he sets it right. Tamsyn was a character in the first book, returning here to find her HEA. She's funny and self-reliant, and I really enjoyed her. Their relationship together was maybe a teensy bit insta-love, but only because there is a time skip in the book that we don't see. I feel like it makes sense if you take that into consideration.
They find themselves mysteriously transported back in time (cue many, many "Back to the future" references) and must find their way home. Along the way they need to solve a mystery and reunite a feuding couple. The characters that we meet are very charming and friendly, and I really enjoyed my time with them. The resolution is maybe a little too easy, and that's the only reason this didn't get five stars for me.
I traditionally hate holiday themed romances and hallmark moves, and I loved this book, so it's a high recommendation indeed!

Back to Graves Glen? Yes please!! I just adore the Penhallow brothers and this witchy series, and I was thrilled to see book three available!
This time, Bowen is in the spotlight. He is searching for a way to help a friend of his who had a magical accident, and hires an Acquirer named Tamsyn to help him find the items he needs along the way. When the pair wind up at a wedding in the countryside together, things go haywire and they find themselves trying to fight their attraction.
These books are just such fun to read. The storylines are interesting, the banter is top notch, the characters are zany, and the dialogue is too good. This book brought some fun tropes, like grumpy x sunshine, only one bed, and a touch of fake dating. We got to watch gruff mountain man Bowen become absolutely enchanted by Tamsyn, and the whole thing was just a delight.
If you enjoyed The Ex Hex and The Kiss Curse, be prepared to fall in love with the third Penhallow brother in The Wedinf Witch!

I read t he previous books in this series and I was excited for Bowen to get his turn in the spotlight. Interesting choice to have Tamsyn as his partner given her role in previous books, but they're super cute and have excellent chemistry, so it works!
I also enjoyed the cameos of Gwyn, Wells, Rhys and Vivienne!

This was a cute, fast-paced fluffy read. It’s set around Christmas/Yule, but still lots of witchy vibes. If you’ve read the other two books in the series, this focuses on the third brother and characters from the previous two novels make appearances.
It was a fun, quick read. I’d recommend it to others.
I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Full disclosure: I always love everything that Erin Sterling/Rachel Hawkins writes. So I was thrilled when I finally got my hands on a copy of the latest in the Ex Hex series.
The first 2 books in the series were extremely cozy magical romances with fall vibes. This one was actually a winter holiday book, which threw me a little bit. There was a time travel element, as well as the one bed trope, which I adored.
As far as the characters go, I loved Tamsyn and Bowen. Their dialogue absolutely sparkled. I did think that the development of their relationship went from 0 to 80, so I would have liked a little more development there. The setting was flawless, with most of the book taking place in Wales in the past.
I will say that I felt like this book was too short. Its publication was delayed and I was a little disappointed that reading this book felt so short. It was still compulsively readable, I just wanted more. All in all, I did really enjoy reading it, it just didn’t quite live up to the previous two books in the series for me. This book felt very much like it was wrapping up the series, with all of the Penhallow brothers paired off. If so, this is a bewitching, fluffy, fun series I can see myself revisiting every fall.

I just love a book that has me so enraptured that it keeps me up reading until way too late in the night. The Wedding Witch did just that. Just like our male protagonist, I was in love from day 1. Bowen and Tamsyn were such a delight to read about. From their initial meeting in the pub to the dramatic ending in Wales, I enjoyed every moment with them. Bowen contacts Tamsyn to recruit her to work solely for him finding artifacts as he tries to figure out a spell reversal that has had his best friend, Declan, in an in-between state since college. The two wind up at the exclusive wedding of Declan's old fiancé and the initial spark they felt in that initial meeting bursts into flames. This had the perfect witchy vibes that I was looking for. There was serious chemistry, a mystery to solve, a fantastic setting, and a great only one bed situation. Tamsyn and Bowen are by far my favorite pair of this series. They just worked. I am not an insta-love person ever, but this one really worked for me for some reason. I loved how good these two were together. While you do not need to read the first two in this series to enjoy this one, they really enhanced the book during the scenes with Bowen's family. It was a ton of fun getting to see them and where they were at.
If you have already read the others in the series, you will love this one. It was my favorite. If you haven't, I highly recommend. They are great rom-coms with a fun magical feel and worth losing sleep for. A solid 5 stars!

This is such a fun read! I loved Bowen and Tamsyn so much and felt their chemistry from the jump. They had great witty banter, were playful together, but also had such a cute story together. I give it 4.5/5 stars and definitely recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
This series has been so fun and witchy! This was another cute installment to Grave’s Glen! I enjoyed the time travel aspect and the new characters introduced. This was a short and cute spooky season read and if you enjoyed the other two in the series you will enjoy this one!

Thank you to netgalley and Harper Collins for providing me a arc of this book. I have read the first two books of the series,so it is only fitting that I read the third by this author. This book is a blend of fantasy, romance, and paranormal and covers several holidays. The characters were captivating.
