Loved this!

Witchy Christmas & time travel? Count me in! I have not read the previous books in the series yet but when I saw this was witchy Christmas vibes & time travel I knew I wanted to pick this up.

This was so entertaining and fun! Tamsyn & Bowen were the perfect comedic duo. Bowen is so gone for Tamsyn and I do love a man down bad for his lady. He was easy to root for and I couldn’t wait for him to win Tamsyn’s heart. Tamsyn was hilarious. I couldn’t get enough of her wit and dialogue. Very quotable! Their romance is sweet and romantic. I loved these two together.

I also really liked the atmosphere with the house and holiday theme. Delivered on the witchy vibes for sure!

Loved this one & would recommend it even if you haven’t read the previous books (going to do that pronto!).

Erin Sterling always slaps so hard.

Bowen was sooo not my man. But this book made me think a lot about how friendships can spark romance between unlikely people.

Fun read—I liked it way better than the second book in the series. Rhys and Violet’s story is still OP tho.

The time-travel plot was a little annoying but not too terrible. It was tough to deal with the fact that people didn’t retain their memories etc. Also this one was less spell-casty than the previous two.

Overall, I liked the style. I disliked the plot and characters but they weren’t too too bad.

You should read this. BUT you should definitely read the other two first.

This was such a cute story! The chemistry was sizzling and the banter was absolutely delightful. It moved very quickly and my only complaint is that it was over so quickly cause I loved the characters and would have loved to see more of them. However, what we did get was an absolute delight and I definitely recommend this steamy holiday romance!

This was a sweet third book in the Ex Hex series. I stuck this immediately on my TBR list after seeing Bowen Penhallow would finally be getting his own book.

I enjoyed this book for its low-angst-friends-to-lovers story in the romance department. It was angsty in the "how are they going to wrap up this problem with so little book left?!" department.

The ending felt a little rushed, but not enough so to detract from my reading experience.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book.

Loved it! I have read the first 2 in the series before and this one is my favorite. I honestly didn't expect the twist. It was such a comfy read.

I've been anticipating Bowen's book since he was mentioned in the first book and it did not disappoint. Bowen and Tamsyn had sparks flying from the first moment we met them in this grumpy-sunshine romance. This book had an underlying mystery which engaged me from the start (although I will say the ending quickly wrapped up/fixed everything). The reader got to see the relationship build over the year they worked together through the texts/emails which I loved. Definitely a good way to spend an evening.

4.5 stars

The Wedding Witch, by Erin Sterling, is the third novel of a series, of which I have not (yet) read the previous ones.  I dove in without realizing and although I thoroughly enjoyed it as a stand-alone, I recommend you read the others first.  You will want to read them and may as well read them in order. It is a cute, quick, "witchy" read with likable characters and laughable moments.  I easily read it in an afternoon. 
Thanks, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved the first two books in this series. I was a little nervous about this one because how could it live up to the past two books…. This series just keeps getting better. This was a super fun and witchy book with so many adventures.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon & Harper Voyager for the arc of this book.

The Wedding Witch

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“ Bowen Penhallow has always been a loner, studying dark and ancient magic on a mountaintop in Wales. He prefers it that way. But when his friend Colin—who happens to be a ghost—asks him to attend a Yuletide wedding at a grand estate deep in the Welsh countryside, Bowen reluctantly agrees. ”

Wow! I loved this 3rd book in this series. These books can be read as a series or as stand alone books which is awesome. I really enjoyed the story line and a little spice in this book. I like the bigger picture story lines connecting the other books here and there. I would recommend this book 100%. This book I think is my favorite of the 3 books. Hope this author makes more so we can continue to see what happens to these characters.

I really liked this book! It was sort of a mix of doctor who and witchy vibes which I loved. The writing is just laugh out loud funny and I will keep reading Erin’s books forever!

"The Wedding Witch" by Erin Sterling marks the third installment in the captivating Ex Hex series, demonstrating a continuous improvement in storytelling. Among the series, this particular book stands out as a personal favorite. The narrative delves into the journey of Bowen Penhallow, the third Penhallow brother, and the adept magical artifact procurer, Tamsyn Bligh. Driven by their distinct motives, their paths unexpectedly intertwine in a spellbinding and tumultuous manner. Faced with the necessity of collaboration to restore their normalcy, the palpable tension between them adds a compelling layer to the story. Bowen emerges as a standout character with his kindness, intelligence, and unwavering determination, earning him favoritism among the Penhallow siblings. On the other hand, Tamsyn shines with her vivacity and cleverness, showcasing resilience even in the absence of magic. Together, they form a remarkable duo, complementing each other's strengths in a captivating and harmonious manner. I cannot wait for my friends and followers to dive into this fun, engaging read!

Erin Sterling takes readers back to the beloved setting of Graves Glen and the Welsh countryside in this third installment of her witchy rom-com series. I really enjoyed watching the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, get his love story after the small crumbs of him we saw in the first two books in the series. While this book has lots of the witchy fun vibes the series is known for, we add a fun holiday twist to it as we watch Tamsyn and Bowen celebrate Yuletide after a time traveling mishap.

While this book rushed a lot of the feelings between the characters, the connection was real and very believable between Tamsyn and Bowen. Full of actual laugh-out-loud moments and crazy twists, this story was a bingeable delight of a book that is a perfect read for the transition period between fall and Christmas!

4 stars! Another win by Erin Sterling! I was worried at first that I wouldn't enjoy this book as much as the other two in the series since it was set somewhere other than Graves Glen and we wouldn't see as much of the other couples, but this one was just as enjoyable as the first two in the series! I adored Bowen and Tamsyn (grumpy x sunshine is my catnip) and I really adored the Welsh setting and secondary characters. All in all, a satisfying finale to the series. Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC.

SUCH a good book! I really enjoyed this story which was no surprise after loving THE EX HEX and THE KISS CURSE; I'm glad the 3rd installment from Erin Sterling lived up to the hype. The characters in this book - particularly the side characters - were so endearing and I loved all of the antics and mysteries at Tywyll house. I wasn't expecting the time travel element (I usually don't read the synopsis before reading a book) but I think it worked well here (sometimes it can be too cheesy or far-fetched). I loved seeing Wells and Rhys again and learning more about Bowen, and the steamy scenes in this book were unmatched. I ended up giving the book five stars because even though Tamsyn was a bit extra at times, I just loved the vibes of this book and the cross between spooky season and Christmas/Yule vibes. I can't wait to recommend this book to my bookstagram audience!

THIS HAS BECOME A FAVORITE SERIES!! Oh my worddd, the way these books keep getting better and better!! I enjoyed The Ex Hex, ADORED The Kiss Curse, and truly loved The Wedding Witch! 🌙

I was so excited to get to know reclusive Bowen Penhallow more. Loved him! Gruff, bearded, scholarly, and a loner, he needed someone fun to spice things up a bit, and Tamsyn was just the gal for the job. Their banter was hilarious. Chemistry off the charts. LOVED that we got to check in with the rest of the fam back in Graves Glen. LOVED the Yule time setting. I wasn’t sold on the time travel part but it ended up being so fun. 🤩

I rated four stars instead of five because I did think the time travel section got a little confusing. However, I’m an Erin Sterling super fan and hopes she writes more! A million thanks to Avon Books and NetGalley for the e-arc!

I really enjoyed both main characters. I kind of wish it had been set in Graves Glen but it was fine. Not too Christmasy that it can't be read at other times of year.

I did not realize this was part of a series and feel I may be at a disadvantage with character history. Regardless of this fact, I enjoyed this cozy, witchy book. The banter was exceptional between Bowen & Tamsyn. It definitely kept me entertained and wanting to continue to story. There were more than one laugh out loud moments throughout the story. Overall would recommend to someone looking for witchy vibes with a little spice.

I enjoyed the two previous titles in this series, but this one fell flat for me. There was not enough character development, and I never really connected with either the male or female main characters. There were some steamy scenes that I enjoyed, and I liked the magical element. But even the plot was sort of convoluted and underwhelming. Also there was a lot about Bowen that was sort of a turn off, and not a lot that made him attractive to me. But maybe that’s just me. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc.

Thank you SO much to the author and NetGalley for this arc!

I read the first two books in this series and loved them, they gave the best witchy energy that I needed for the upcoming fall season. This third book in the series also did not disappoint! I was cautiously optimistic going into it since Bowen and Tamsyn have a different atmosphere than the other couples in this series; I was interested to see if the story would feel completely seperate and not flow with the earlier stories as being the third installment of the books. I loved the banter between Bowen and Tamsyn and I loved the build up to the romance! This series fueled my need for witchy and spooky energy this fall.

This was the last book in this series but the first for me! My rating may change after reading the other 2, but we shall see.

The Wedding Witch was such a cute, cozy read - perfect for fall/the holidays. I love Bowen and Tamsyn but do think their relationship felt rushed at times. The time travel plot was fun, though I was left with more questions than resolutions.

A cute, fast read nonetheless!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
