Okay, I love the Graves Glen series & this book did not disappoint. The majority of it does not take place in Graves Glen, but the setting for this is amazing in its own right. Now even though we’re talking about witches, this book is set in winter and has lots of Christmas vibes to it. The time travel aspect was really fun & comedic. It was also bittersweet. It always tugs at my heart strings when you’re able to see the past & present versions of characters particularly when you see the past versions of characters that aren’t alive in the present day. I was really curious how the story would resolve itself & I was happy with how it turned out. Time travel can be hit or miss & I think this was a hit. I highly recommend. I love this series. I can’t get enough of it.
Thank you NetGalley & Avon Books for the advance copy.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy. This is a cute, fluffy, magical rom-com like the other books in this series, so if you enjoyed those, you will enjoy this one. I liked this one slightly less than the other two. The romance felt a little underbaked and there wasn't much "will they, or won't they" as you would expect from this type of book. I was also a little confused by the setting. It wasn't really a Halloween vibe and also wasn't exactly a Christmas feeling, so I was a little thrown off by that. I did enjoy the time travel aspect and some of the secondary characters were delightful. Overall, this is probably a 3-3.5 star read for me.

Unfortunately The Wedding Witch was not the conclusion I was hoping to read for the Ex Hex Trilogy. There wasn’t really physical descriptions of the characters (my complaint in all the books) and almost no character development for Bowen and Tamsyn. It was straight up insta-love trope and I didn’t vibe with it. The fact it was Christmas/Yule themed not Halloween was kind of a bummer.
The story felt like a rough draft that needed some plot work. The only upside was seeing the other couples from the previous books. The time travel/Parent trap story is tired and most of the conclusion is rushed with no real explanation.
Spice 🌶️ (1.5).
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon and HarperVoyage for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A delightful and enchanting read that will captivate fans of lighthearted, romantic, and adventurous stories, especially those who adore Christmas-themed tales, witch romance, and fluffy, feel-good fiction.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishing company for the opportunity to read this book early!!
I love the october feel and the witchy vibes it gives off, which is why i’m always trying to get my hands on any early copy of any cozy book that fits the feels of the month! Unfortunately this book did fall flat for me and i couldn’t connect to the characters as much as i wanted. I did DNF this book and was not able to make it to the end.

This series keeps getting better and better! Bowen Penhallow, at the request of his ghostly friend Colin, travels to Scotland to crash the wedding of Colin's former fiancee, only to find the Tamsyn Bligh, an expert in locating magical objects and under an exclusive contract with Bowen, also attending having taken on one last freelance job. The bride is miserable, and inadvertently casts a spell that sends Bowen and Tamsyn back to 1958, to the same castle and to Bowen's grandparents wedding did they can stop arguing and agree to go through with the ceremony. Can helping his grandparents wed get the two home, or is the another task they need to accomplish before their time runs out and they fade away from existence. Tight plotting and likable characters make for a fun read

Thank you Netgalley, and Avon for letting me read this eARC. "The Kiss Curse" and "The Ex Hex" were two of the first two books I truly like; they both had a very warm, fall vibe about them. Even so, the book was adorable, and I'm glad another Penhallow brother was able to find love. The relationship seemed a little undeveloped to me. There was no build-up in between; it was all or nothing. As always, I really enjoyed the amusing banter between the two major characters! To be honest, I thought this one had more spiciness than the previous two. I would recommend this book to those who are looking for a Fall/Christmas spooky romance vibe. The setting of this book is a little confusing not sure if its Fall or Christmas time. It is still a cute book with good humor and romance. 3.5/5. I did enjoy the first two books a little more than this one. Overall a good read and I did not get bored with it.

The 3rd in the The Ex Hex series - but I will admit that I haven't read the second book in the series. The MMCs in all of the books are brothers but their stories can be read as standalones.
This one is set at Christmas/Yule and is not a classic Halloween or Fall romance like the other 2 books. But there are still ghosts, magical items, spells, and witches.
It is fast paced and adorable without a 3rd act breakup. I enjoyed the writing and the great banter. Plus there is a wonderfully spicy scene in a bathtub (and the woods) that is a must read.
As soon as I read the description/blurb of the book, I knew that I would love it. Time traveling, witches, mystery, and spells with a Christmasy setting in Wales! I was here for it all and I was so glad that I was!

Yule at a wedding in a haunted home in Wales. What could possibly go wrong? Tamsyn is there to steal a brooch. Bowen is there out of a sense of duty to an old friend. But soon it's not a matter of 'where' they are but 'when' they are. Can the two work together to make everything right?

I loved the first two installments in this series, and while The Wedding Witch did not disappoint, it also felt somewhat removed from the series. Tamsyn and Bowen were in their own little bubble, but that also fit their characters. Two people on the fringes finding the one meant for them.

3.5 stars
Reclusive Bowen Penhallow hires Tamsyn Bligh to find artefacts in his quest to return best mate Declan from liminal space after a spell went wrong a decade earlier. Despite being hired exclusively by Bowen, Tamsyn can’t resist the lure of $1m to recover a brooch from the same house Bowen is staying at for a wedding.
After feeling lukewarm about the first book ‘The Ex Hex’, I enjoyed this one. This was a an easy read, though at times it did drag a bit, especially to get to the time travel part. However, everything seemed to be a bit undercooked, with an ending that suddenly works out without any real explanation. For instance, how is it that fixing everything didn’t upset other things in the timeline? Also, how does Emerald’s role in this be the catalyst event for Declan? It just seems like the author threw out things but didn’t work through the timeline. Furthermore, the romance seemed to be a bit too much tell not show. I liked the characters, but I didn’t feel like Bowen really knew Tamsin well.
Overall, cozy witchy, time travelling fun.
Thanks to Avon and NetGalley for the ARC.

A witchy romance filled with laughs, curses, and all the spice. This is book three in the Ex Hex Series and I loved it as much as book one! Broody Penhallow brother number 3 Bowen works with Tamsyn to try and solve a curse that is keeping his long time friend stuck in a curse. Accidental time travel, a fake marriage and instant connection where both characters fall fast, makes this a fall must read.

THE WEDDING WITCH was a good way to end The Ex Hex series. I really enjoyed the time travel aspect of it as well as the family / friend ties. It did take me a bit to get this book finished because the first half just didn’t hold my attention well. The second half was much more entertaining and enjoyable. These weren’t my favorite characters in the series but i understand wanting to tie up loose ends and finish out with the third brother. I appreciate the character growth and HEA! Overall it’s a 3.5 star read for me!

Thank you Net Galley and Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I enjoyed this one a lot!! It was a fast paced and fun read. The characters where all extremely likable and funny.
If your looking for a light hearted quick and fun read this one is for you.

I'm on the fence between 3.5 and 4 stars, so I decided to round up.
I really liked the writing and pacing of this one! Reading it felt immersive and like a movie. I also liked the magical and fish-out-of-water elements with the time travel and human in a magical world.
Any negatives I have for this book are entirely personal preference! I think a lot of readers would love this book! I had some trouble getting in to it because of all the magical elements and worldbuilding that had to be done, even though this was the third in a series. I also felt that it was spicier than my preference; if I was trapped in the past with the impending threat of ceasing to exist, getting physical with my hot boss would not be top of mind, but it seemed like a high priority for the characters in this book.
Overall, I enjoyed the storyline and relationship at the center of this book!
Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for the free ebook in exchange for my honest feedback.

I loved the combo of a Halloween meets Christmas witchy book! And I think this one may have been my favorite of the series since it was so different from the first two. Bowen is a mountain man with a beard and in here for it. Then we have Tamsyn who is a human. The two working together then fake dating made for some wonderful chemistry and lots of laughs. This series was the perfect spooky season read and I loved it. The ending of this one felt like it wrapped all three in a pretty little bow.

I loved the first two books in this series. I gave both of them five stars and I was FOAMING at the mouth for this book. Unfortunately, it was just fine. I think I big part of why I loved the first two was the small town Halloween vibes that the books gave off. They both took place in Graves Glenn and this one didn't. This was a time traveling story about righting wrongs. This took place in a faraway castle kind of secluded from other places. I think that all would have been fine if not for the way I felt detached from the romance. I didn't really buy the Tamsyn/Bowen relationship like I did for the other brothers. It feels like this book just didn't really belong in the series.
What I would have liked to see:
1. Bowen getting into a relationship with a cousin of Viv and Gwyn or maybe a teacher at Penhaven that works closely with Viv/Gwyn. I just wanted her to have a connection to Graves Glenn instead of being some random artifact hunter.
2. Getting to ACTUALLY see them build a relationship. We were basically just TOLD that they were talking for like 6 months, but we barely saw any of that. I think this was a major issue when you're told they're into each other and then they declare they are in love at the 50% mark. That type of insta-love just doesn't work.
I still loved being back in this world and I did enjoy the plotline over all. This just wasn't what I was expecting from the third book in such a beloved series.

After a spell goes horribly wrong and his best friend Declan is lost, Welshman and powerful witch, Bowen Penhallow dedicated himself to finding a way to reverse it. It has been ten years, and he is no closer to an answer, but he does have a plan, which will require the exclusive services of the best “Acquirer” he has ever worked with – TLB Acquisitions, Ltd. He sets up a meeting and is astounded to learn that the “T” of TLB is a gorgeous American woman, Tamsyn Bligh.
Tamsyn agrees to an exclusive contract with him, and she makes it clear that she doesn’t mix business with pleasure, but she also can’t resist a kiss under the mistletoe! And so, begins their relationship, for the next year they work together without meeting. As the Yule holiday approaches, Bowen makes plans to join his brothers and their significant others for the holiday in Georgia, leaving Tamsyn with time on her hands, time she decides to put to good use. Never expecting their paths to cross at a wedding in Wales or being sent back in time to 1957. Together they will have to work together to make their way back to 2024 and hopefully find their own HEA along the way.
I loved, loved, loved this book and finished it in a day! This is a new-to-me author and a genre that I rarely read – I love paranormal/fantasy romance, and I usually tend to choose historicals over contemporaries, but the blurb for this book caught my attention (which is saying a lot as I am not a fan of time travel) and I am so happy I requested it! This book pulled me out of a reading rut and sold me on a new sub-genre! This book has it all; mystery, witches, spells, grumpy/sexy hero, a vivacious/feisty heroine, witty dialogue, great secondary characters, second chances, steamy love scenes, surprising revelations and finally a very happy ending complete with an epilogue. This was the third book in the series, but I hadn’t read the previous books (but now I want to!) and had no trouble understanding the relationship between the characters, so it could easily be read as a standalone title. I really enjoyed the book and will be checking out the previous books and watching for upcoming books – Highly recommended!
4.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for an advance copy of this book.
I really wanted to love this but it was overwhelmingly…fine. We got a little timey-wimey which is always fun to see what needs to be changed. The chemistry between the mains was off the charts but I found myself dragging through the bulk of this.
They “knew” they were going back to change things when they arrived in the past and immediately zeroed in on one thing to change and didn’t really consider other options at all and I had my eyebrow up the whole time.

A spicy, witchy rom-com. Say less. This book was a fun cauldron of romance, magic, and humor. Bowen was MMC perfection and the chemistry was sizzling!
If you’re a fan of grumpy/sunshine, magical mishaps, and a book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this one is an absolute treat! Perfect for fans of cozy romance with a supernatural twist!
I absolutely adore this entire series and don’t want to say goodbye the Penhallow Welshmen and Graves Glen.
3/5🌶️
3.5⭐️ rounded up!
Thank you NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the eARC!

This was a charming and fun end to a cute series. The decision to set it at Christmas was a charming shift from many witch books as well.
