2.5 rounded up to 3. The final book in the trilogy this is my least favorite...it was ok. There is a lot in this book that doesn’t add to the story and some of the back and forth banter needs to cleaned up. It is an easy read if someone is looking for something light. The previous books had more of a Fall/Halloween theme, this one is closer to Christmas time.

I absolutely love this series. It was a cute fun and fast read for me. I knew that I would enjoy this book due to me loving the first 2 books in the series. this author can't do any wrong in my eyes. And I LOVEEEEEE the book cover!

I had so much fun with this entire series and this book couldn't be any different. I love this universe that Erin built and for me these books are *THE* must read fall books (although this one has more of a Christmas vibe). I loved the time travel aspect and felt like it just complemented what was already good. If you want a fun book with the perfect amount of magic, read this one. 🧡

🦇 The Wedding Witch Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐

❓ #QOTD What's your favorite witchy read? ❓

🦇 Bowen Penhallow has always been a loner, studying dark and ancient magic on a mountaintop in Wales. Tamsyn Bligh is not a witch, but she makes her living off of them as a procurer of magical items. Bowen becomes her exclusive client—as well as the star of several of Tamsyn’s dirtiest dreams. They both attend a wedding at Tywyll House—Bowen to help a dearly departed friend, Tamsyn to complete a job that would set her up for life. Unfortunately, a strong spell combined with a wedding mishap transports Bowen and Tamsyn into Tywyll House’s past, to the Yuletide Celebration of 1958. Can Bowen and Tamsyn work together to get back to the present while fighting feelings for one another--before it's too late?

💜 Erin Sterling's prose is strong, witty, and enchanting. The chemistry between Tamsyn and Bowen is off-the-charts from the moment they meet in person, simmers through texts and emails, only to completely boil over once they meet again in person. This is a fun, flirty read, perfect for witchy season!

💙 Unfortunately, the story itself leaves much to be desired. As the third book in a series, the characters and world-building should be well-established. Instead, this reads like the writer was rushed to meet a deadline with only a half-baked idea. A lot of the chemistry builds off-page, leaving us with more of an insta-love story (no thank you). The mixed time travel/Parent Trap plot is messy, and most sources of conflict are resolved without explanation. There's so much potential here, but it doesn't quite meet the mark.

💬 Quotes
❝ "Read once that magic was like a naked blade. You can hold it, but you damn well better be careful with it, and even if you are, you are probably still going to bleed.” ❞
❝ "I’m not having us break that rule on a technicality, Tamsyn,” he told her, his voice rough. “When we break it, it’ll be the real thing, cariad.” My love, he’d called her, because she was." ❞
❝ “From the moment you walked into that pub,” he said, “I knew you’d be the making and the ruin of me all at once, woman.” ❞

The Wedding Witch follows Bowen whose friend Declan is a ghost. Declan asked him to attend a wedding and he agrees. Tamsyn is not a witch but makes her living working for them. Bowen is an occasional customer and the person she has a crush on. She tells herself not to get involved with him. She gets an invite to the same wedding that Bowwen is attending. Something goes wrong and both Bowen and Tamsyn end up in 1957. They have to work together to get back to the present. They soon realize that they might like each other too.

I love this series so much. I was so excited when I got an ARC of this one. I really did enjoy this one. However, this was my least favorite in the series. I did not really seem to have the same vibes that the other two books had. But this was still super cute. I did get confused in some parts so I had to go back and reread those. But over all I thought this was a really cute book. Also, this book had more of a Christmas vibe than a Halloween vibe which I was not expecting. I feel like I was just expecting more with this book. But I did love the over all story. I love both Erin Sterling and Rachael Hawkins' books and I would suggest all of them.

Thank you Erin Sterling, Avon Books, and Netgalley for the ARC of this book.

The Wedding Witch follows Bowen Penhallow, this book set around the Yule holiday instead of Halloween, giving it a warm and festive backdrop. The novel is a delightful cozy romance, complete with a haunted house, time travel, and humor, that will charm readers from the start. While I missed seeing more of Vivienne and Gwen from the first two books, Bowen and Tamsyn quickly won me over with their humor, snark, and undeniable magical chemistry. The side characters were equally well-crafted, adding richness and depth to the story. Despite a few familiar faces being less present, this might just be my favorite book in the series.

Thank you Harper Collins for this ARC

3.75⭐️

This was so fun!

This was a great addition to this series. I loved the chemistry and banter between our two main characters. Their personalities together was lovely!

In the beginning I had a bad feeling that the storyline being setup was going to be very predictable…I was quite wrong. I did not see time travel coming.

Going back in time brought so many quirky and lovable characters into the story. I loved that Bowen was able to meet his grandparents and see their love in person.

The only issue I had was the ending felt a bit rushed. Because of this I felt confused when they got back to their own time. I’m wondering if I missed something? Wouldn’t Carys have known what happened to them since it must have happened to her to get Declan back? Couldn’t she have given them some insight when they returned? How did emerald request the brooch if she had been the ghost?

Again, maybe I missed something, but I was very confused.


Overall I thought this a good read, solid 3.75⭐️

The way a screeched with joy when I got approved for this book is probably slightly embarrassing however I’ve been dying for this one for so long I felt like I was appropriate. Erin Sterling did not disappoint with Bowen and Tamsyn’s story. Expanding upon Graves Glen universe of books this one follows Bowen and Tamsyn as they navigate working together (and being in loves with each other) while trying to procure of brooch worth $1 million dollar from a haunted house at Yule during a wedding. Some magical time travel is involved along with a fun adventure about getting to know how your past affects your future. Could not recommend this book more especially if enjoyed the first two books in this series.

I decided to read this book without ever reading the blurb so I was going in blind. I'm glad I did. What I thought would be another quirky witch mystery turned out to be so much more. Bowen is a witch who is on the lookout for a magical artifact that is strong enough to figure out the mystery of his best friends ghost. When he hires Tamsyn to procure magical items to help him in his search sparks fly. I love their relationship in this book, they start out as friends but their relationship strengthens when they end up back in time when a spell goes wrong. I love how Bowen is the strong and silent type but when it comes to Tamsyn he is all in.

Many thanks to Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel! To kick things off, I love this series! They are the perfect kickoff to spooky season with the witches and mystery and such. I thought that this one was an interesting concept compared to the others, and I found myself hoping for glimpses of the couples from the other books. Time travel, mystery and romance... what more could you ask for?!

Ugh. THIS BOOK. I just absolutely adore this series! I’m actually struggling to find the words for this book. I loved it so unbelievably much. This book was so stinkin cute and cozy, it just felt like a warm hug! The banter in this book was amazing. I seriously don’t have a single negative thing to say. This book is the ultimate witchy rom-com and I *think* this might be my favorite book in the series! But as I said before, I truly just adore this series so much. I’ve loved getting to know each Penhallow brother and following along on their love journeys! I never want this series to end. I’m hoping the boys end up having some distant cousin or maybe a long lost brother and we’ll continue to have these books forever. Now, where can I find myself a witchy Welsh man???????

This book was so much fun!!!! I think Tamsyn and Bowen are my FAVES!!! Tamsyn was so hilarious and sassy and I just loved their banter so much!!! This was such a fun story and it was too dang cute!!! I love this series and the lovely world it’s in!!!

4.5 stars for the third (and final?) installment of the Ex Hex series! This book follows the third Penhallow brother, Bowen, and the human who procures magical objects for him - Tamsyn. Bowen is a loner, studying magic from a remote mountain in Wales. Tamsyn is a human who specializes in acquiring magical objects for her clients, which is what brings her to Bowen. And so ensues a working relationship turned mutual crush, the witchy wedding weekend of Bowen’s ghost friend’s ex fiancée, time travel, and one bed shenanigans.

The way I SCREECHED when I got this ARC!! I’ve loved this series so much, and this book is no exception. The Kiss Curse is still my fave, but this was so much fun. I loved the banter between Tamsyn and Bowen and the different setting. I think this book not being set in Graves Glen let Tamsyn and Bowen’s story blossom. And I loved the witchy Christmas vibes! Also a switch up from the previous books that worked so well.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced digital copy to read and review!!

3.5⭐️ I love this series they’re just so comfy, short and cute. And I can say the first and this one are my favorites. In any moment I felt like losing interest and that was something I missed. Loved the dynamic between both mcs even if there were many loopholes and things left without explanations or putting more depth in them

I love this series. This one definitely had some gaps and weird jumps (like the plot felt like it didn’t really start until about 40% in and then was rushed). However, it made me so happy to have so many beloved characters back and I truly enjoyed this one. Very spicy and a great christmasy witch book, which was a unique combo!

While the connection between Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn Bligh is electric, Tamsyn knows better than to get involved with a client of her business obtaining magical items. Especially when that client is a witch. But, when a spell gone wrong sends the two half a century in the past, they must work together to find their way back home…and confront their feelings along the way.

The Penhallow brothers are back, and this time, it’s Bowen’s turn to fall in love! I’ll admit, in the preceding two books of The Ex Hex series, I wasn’t Bowen’s biggest fan. He was gruff, often to the point of being rude. In The Wedding Witch, however, Erin Sterling pulls back the curtain to show us why Bowen is the way he is. Getting into Bowen’s head allowed us to see a new side of him—in many ways, he felt like a completely different character than the man that had made cameos in the other two books, I think, because we were able to see the world through his eyes instead of seeing him simply through everyone else’s. I think many other characters, including his brothers, wrote him off as a loner and didn’t look to peel back his layers; this book showed that there is so much more to Bowen. Spunky, gregarious Tamsyn was the perfect love interest because she highlighted the parts of Bowen’s character that previously went unnoticed, such as his loyalty, capacity for love, and thoughtfulness. Watching her and Bowen stumble into love was endearing and often hilarious. The plot moved at an enjoyable pace, and I liked the time travel aspect a lot more than I thought I would, as someone who shies away from historical fiction. While this was a lighthearted read, Sterling delivered important messages related to grief, love, and fate, which was so well done. This is a great read to get you ready for Spooky Season, or save it for the Christmas holidays and celebrate Yule with the Penhallows!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for granting me access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I randomly picked up book one in this series because it was a BOTM pick years ago and since have continued with the series!! The problem is there is so much time between books that I forget the characters and what happened so going into the 3rd one, I had to stop many times and think who is this & why are they important. I loved the concept of this book, the time travel element was super fun and unique BUT because it took place in a different time, I didn’t get to see the Penhallow brothers together which sucked. I loved the dynamic family in books 1/2 so I missed that in this one. I also did not understand the time travel back element at all. I wish the author would’ve explained it more especially with *SPOILER ALERT* Declan coming back. I feel like that skipped right over and I wanted to understand why & what happened… Overall I do enjoy this universe and I loved the romance in this book. The spice level was perfect!! Overall I would recommend this series & now that all the Penhallow brothers are happy what’s next…. (maybe a Declan book to explain everything?¿ lol)

Fun light witchy romance? Yes please! This was a fun and flirty read and is perfect for the “witching” season in October. I love the third installment in this Erie’s but think the at it works best if you read all of them instead of jumping in on this read. Fun and flirty with a little spice and spells!

The Wedding Witch is an adorable, sassy, witchy romance with a Christmas (sorry, Yule) setting and a splash of time travel. I adored it, and would recommend to anybody looking for a wintery supernatural love story!

Thank you to the publisher for granting a copy for review

Thank you NetGalley and Avon for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Wedding Witch follows the third Penhallow brother, Bowen who was on a quest to right a wrong from his college days. His search for a solution led him to the human magical artifacts dealer - Tamsyn Bligh who he hires in an exclusive contract to procure needed magical items on the deal she only work for him. During Yule things go awry when Tamsyn decides to take one last gig that pays grotesquely and Bowen makes a promise to a friend and they end up in the same castle for Yule. It's filled with love, seasonal treats, and a bit of time travel.

This was really cute - out of the Penhallow siblings stories Bowen is definitely more my type - but this wasn't as strong of a story as the previous two. The banter was barely there - the decisions felt rushed - and while there were many facets of the story that eventually wove together by the end - it didn't feel connected. The "why" for one of the resolutions at the end was simply "who knows" and I found that frustrating. For as big of a role as it played, it was written off as "eh, dunno" and everyone moved on from that pretty quickly. I loved all the characters in this one - the little treats of previous main characters from the first two books in the series, and how everyone moved forward in life together.
