A fabulous addition to this series! Going to be honest, did not realize it was a Christmas book at first, but it's a very mellow Christmas if that's not your thing. Or you're reading it in August like I did. I appreciated the tie back to book one with Tamsyn and the explanation for why Bowen was off being a mountain man. Fingers crossed there's a book 4 that's a prequel about Emerald, bc I would be alllll over that.

I continue to enjoy this series! I’m all for the witchy romance vibes books. This book was super entertaining and a magical world to step into. If Erin continues with this series I will read it!

I think this is my favorite in the series! A sweet friends-to-lovers holiday romance with time travel and second chances.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc! Opinions are my own.

This was totally worth the wait!!! This series feels like a warm hug. It’s silly, it’s goofy, it’s chaotic and steamy.

Tamsyn is a human that procures magical items for witches, sometimes not in the most legal of ways. She’s the best at what she does, and Bowen (the third Penhallow brother) offers her an exclusive contract to work for him as he tries to break a curse on his friend.

Both of them have a reason to break into Tywyll House on Christmas Eve, but it’s owned by a very powerful old line of witches. So much chaos breaks loose when they get there: it’s haunted, a wedding is called off, and of course time travel. Now they have to figure out why they were sent into the past, and how to get home.

It’s dual POV and third person. Oh, and there’s a bathtub scene!!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced digital copy!

This book was SO fun. I had not read the first two books in the series, but honestly I didn't even need to (though now I really want to). This book was spooky and mystical and just straight enjoyable. I loved the chemistry of our two main characters and the time travel aspect ( I live for that trope!). The fact that they were coworkers to friends to lovers was an aspect I really loved. They were spicy, and witty and full of banter. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the first two now! I highly recommend this and love that it was a holiday read too!

No one writes hot romance + magic like Erin Sterling! The Wedding Witch is just as good as her The Ex Hex, and Bowen and Tamsyn deliver all the “adventure but make it sexy” vibes. A great third installment of a wonderfully fun series.

This is probably my favorite out of the series!! The setting was dark and magical. The characters are amazing just like in the previous books. It was a complete masterpiece!

A human woman treasure thief/tomb radar and a powerful male witch join forces to attend a wedding as a favor and to get a million dollar broach. While performing this task they get sucked into a spell and end up saving the witches best friend.

It was ok. There is a lot in this book that doesn’t add to the story. The whole book could be cleaned up a bit. It was frustrating to the reader going through this and continuously asking, “OK, why is this important?”. The ending was drawn out a lot. The love story aspect and the ending were very cute and well done. You really do feel for Declan and Cary for the situation. Also, overall this wasn’t very witchy or spooky. It was a thriller once you start tying all the clues together. Very Cliché time traveling concept, gave Jumanji ending vibes.

This was a nice escape from both reality and the misery of summer. I enjoyed the weird magic and can’t say I totally saw the end coming (other than the romance part). If you’ve read the other books, you’ll enjoy this one too.

Oh so witchy good! The chemistry, time travel, and Christmassy vibes blended perfectly and I loved every page!

Thank you NetGalley and Avon for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

Incredibly entertaining. Bowen was such a goner for Tamsyn from the very beginning and Tamsyn was hysterical.

I've really enjoyed this whole series. They have been entertaining from start to finish regardless of any smaller issues I've had with them. The first two have a more Halloween/Fall vibe and this one was more Christmas, but any contemporary magic settings are 😍

I will say the relationship in here went from 0-100 emotionally super fast and the whole reason they believe they're sent back in time gets no page time. They keep saying they need to fix something and then never do anything to fix it. BUT all that took a back seat to two really charming characters and witchy vibes ✨

Would highly recommend this whole series for anyone looking for witchy vibes and loveable characters.

I love this world and I love these characters. I am so happy to return to the Penhallow family and their relationships. My only complaint is that the book was too short, thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this title.

Easily the worst of the trilogy. Odd choice to develop your central relationship through a few texts/emails and then move on to a time travel plot that you couldn’t really explain either. I wished Sterling had decided whether this was going to be a Halloween or Christmas novel up front because whatever this was didn’t scratch my itch for either holiday.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance reader's copy of the book. I'm so happy that Bowen finally got his own book. He always intrigued me the most in the previous two books, and I greatly enjoyed this one. I loved that Tamsyn was redeemed and I love her and Bowen together. When I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to buy this and add it to the first two. Kudos to the author.

Each book in this series gets better and better. I found this one extra fun, with its Christmassy vibes, time travel element, fun cast of characters, mild mystery aspects, and atmospheric, magical setting. I thought the climax was a little less intense than book two had, but still enjoyable, and overall really entertaining. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for magical, witchy, Christmas themed spicy romance. Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for the ARC.

This book was everything I wanted and more for the third book in the series! I've been looking forward to this since I finished The Kiss Curse, and I was not disappointed! Definitely worth the wait!

I absolutely loved this book. I was big fans of the first two books and wasn't sure if this one was going to live up to the first two. I had no reason to be worried. This book was amazing. I loved every bit of the story and the characters. You also get to see small glimpses of the lives of the characters from the first two books in the series. I highly recommend reading this book. It can be read as a stand alone, but there are mentions of characters and events that happen in the first two books that make more sense if you have read them.

Erin Sterling has nailed it once again! Grumpy/sunshine, witchy romance set around the Yule? Count me in!

This was the third in the Graves Glen series, a cozy, witchy romance series set in southern America and also in Wales. Bowen Penhallow is the 3rd of the Penhallow brothers, and the only one thus far without his own love story...until now. When Bowen and his personal treasure hunter, Tamsyn Bligh, find themselves on the wrong side of a time travel spell, will they be able to figure out what happened - and why - in order to return to modern day?

This story takes place over just a few days, split between 2024 and the 1950s, and provides a lot of background insight into the Penhallow family roots as well as to their generations-long connection to the Jones girls in Graves Glen. The perfect balance of sweet, spice, and mystery, I devoured this book in 3 evenings and am already missing the beardy grump and his Girl Friday.

Thank you to Erin Sterling, Avon & Harper Voyager, and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I haven’t read the first two books so I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this book but I found myself really enjoying it! It’s a great witchy romance. Would be a wonderful fall read!

I have loved this series and hope it’s not over.
The third book on the series follows Bowen Penhallow and Tamsyn Bleigh. It was such a fun surprise to see Tamsyn again.
I have enjoyed watching these brothers grow in this series. Their relationship continue to grow and mend in this book. The time travel was so good. I enjoyed how Bowen and Tamsyn’s relationship progressed- the perfect pace.
If you like a witchy romance- this series and book is for you.
