Special thanks to the author & @avonbooks for my gifted copy‼️ I’ve only read book 1 in the series which is still my favorite. Book 3 was cool and since I haven’t read the previous one I can say this can be read as a standalone didn’t seem like I was missing out on anything. But we follow another member of the Penhallow family this time it involves time travel which I did like. I also enjoyed how madly in love Bowen and Tamsyn were it was giving enemies-to-lovers initially and took them getting lost in the past trying to save Bowen’s existence for them to finally act on it. The sex scenes hated them all the author was just cocking it up lol. Overall, this was an okay read I’ll need to read book 2 to judge the entire series as a whole.

Rating: 3.5/5⭐️

This was such a cute and fun winter read. The final book in the Ex Hex series, this book has everything: friends to lovers, time travel and magic. Lots of joy and poignant moments. The two leads are adorable together and the cast of characters that surround them are also great! Did it potentially wrap up too neatly? Maybe. But did I care? Heck no. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a witchy Yuletide book.

The Wedding Witch is very different than the other two books in the series. I did not feel as connected to the main characters as I have in the past. They seemed to have some chemistry but it felt rushed to me. It was cute and a great read to curl up next to the fire on a cold day.

Thank you to NetGalley, and Avon and Harper Voyager, Avon for an ARC of this book.

I wasn't sure when to read this - I started at Halloween and then I decided to wait until Christmas season. I felt it worked better then since the book starts with mistletoe and there are yule celebrations. I have really enjoyed this series but this one was different because it wasn't set in a cute American witch town and it was pretty spicy too.

I love The Ex Hex series, and The Wedding Witch perfectly wrapped up the trilogy. The banter between Bowen and Tamsyn *chef's kiss*. I really enjoyed the time travel, it really made this story stand out from the first two. The only thing I would have loved to see was a romance build-up. I felt like it went from 0-100, which ended up being fine, just a personal preference!

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon, Harper Voyager, and Erin Sterling for access to this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Okay this was super different than the rest of the series! I liked the uniqueness and that our main character was human but involved in the witch world. I wish we saw more of the characters from the previous books. We just got a tiny little hint of them. I really liked the time travel aspect and I loved the ending!

2.5 rounded down. This book isn't bad, it just isn't for me (which, considering it involves time travel, is definitely saying something). The way the relationship develops so quickly and mostly via email feels like a cop out and makes it really difficult to invest in the romance. Insta-love on steroids. Also I'm not sure the ending really makes sense?

If you enjoyed Sterling's other books, this will be right up your alley! And I loved that it was set during Yule! I feel like that's kind of a rare occurrence in witchy rom coms. I will say though, I kind of felt that the pacing in this installation wasn't quite as strong as the other books.

This was a cute book with more spice than sugar. I wouldn't say it was one of my favorites, but it was enjoyable enough. I liked it about as much as I liked the first one in the series. (I haven't read the second one yet and am not sure if I ever will. I wouldn't mind reading it, I guess, but it's not an absolute must read for me.) All in all, I'd say this was a simple, cozy, semi-festive book. It's a decent enough read if you're looking for a book with both fall and Christmas vibes.

I read an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.

This was a different take on this series. I enjoyed it more than the last one in this series. I didn't fully believe the romance but I enjoyed the hunt for magical objects. I wanted this to have more holiday vibes than it did but would still be a great book to read in the fall time.

Honestly, I DNFed this at 60%. It was cute but nothing special so far but I'll give it 3.5 stars because I think this could be great for someone and I might return to it eventually but it's been 2 months and I just can't get into it.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyage for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly it took me so long to read this because I was just not interested at all. I really enjoyed the others but this fell short for me. The relationship had no build up where it had me excited to see everything work out between the both of them. I did love their banter. But otherwise this wasn’t my favorite.

The Graves Glen books are such a delight and I'm glad I got to pick this one up before the holidays. I'm usually not a time travel girlie but it worked here (although I'll admit I didn't understand the magic at the end at all). Bowen and Tamsyn's chemistry was fun and it was SO refreshing that they didn't pretend to fight their feelings internally and were able to see the other's attraction even before they acted on it. I adore these books and I can't wait to see what else Erin Sterling writes!

The first two books of this series were so fun! They were made for Fall and you felt all the love and magic of the season. This book was cute and fun but not as good as the other two. I think the author couldn’t decide which plot they wanted to follow. We have the relationship which went from 0 to 100 with no real development in between. We have his family dynamics and basically being a hermit. We have the disappearance of his friend who is alive but not a ghost. We have the time travel to the past and getting his grandparents back together. It was just all too much. We don’t get enough development for any one section to feel connected to the book. I did like the banter via text/email between our two mains.

What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 I’ve enjoyed all three books in the Graves Glen series, but this one might be my favorite. It totally works as a standalone.
🤩 Single POV and one narrator works great! She has a gorgeous voice and accents and is a fabulous storyteller.
🤩 Magical realism—Bowen Penhallow is a witch.
🤩 Hilarious meet-cute and fabulous re-meet-cute! Both on Christmas Eve/Yule—I picked the perfect day to read this beauty, but it can be read anytime.
🤩 The cutest kiss before the handshake.
🤩 All the fantastic text/email chats! I love how they get to know each other while Tasmsyn works for Bowen.
🤩 A wedding house party in a castle in the Welsh countryside, yes please!!
🤩 Tamsyn Bligh and Bowen Penhallow have hilarious banter. Laugh-out-loud funny!
🤩 Clever time travel plot—just might be my favorite time travel ever, probably because the MCs are together and pretending to be a married couple!!
🤩 Only-one-bed magic of a different kind! Bowen and Tamsyn are hot and so very fun!
🤩 Holy hotness—the bathtub scene is perfection.

What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Nothing at all.

As always I love Erin Sterling (Rachel Hawkins) and the Wedding Witch was a good continuation of the The Ex Hex stories. I didn't feel as connected with the romance of the characters in this one and missed Graves Glen although this was set in swoony Wales. The time travel component was really cool and added another magical element to the story. I wouldn't necessarily call it a Christmas read, but it definitely felt like a read by the fire type of book. Good read!

thank you to netgalley and avon and harper voyager for this eARC!

i really enjoyed this book. definitely gonna need to read the other books in the graves glen series.

i have to say, im really glad i didn’t have to spend very long waiting for him to come to terms with his feelings because that would have pissed me off. honestly, despite what i’d normally say, i kind of like the way we time-skipped those beginning stages of their working relationship. it worked really well for the time line of the novel.

i also really liked the bordering-on-protective thing he had going on. i think the rugged mountain man thing worked for me.

i was a big fan of the plot. the magic, the going back in time, the reasons they both had for being there. it all worked so well and made me want to keep reading the whole way through.

the plot-twist with emerald at the end was a little corny but that’s okay. the ending overall was nice and the reunion with declan was very sweet.

all in all, this was a fantastic book and i would for sure recommend this, especially right now (around christmas). loved it.

This was a super fun entry in the series! I really enjoyed taking a former villain/foil and making her the protagonist in this one, it was a nice twist on the tradition of taking a tertiary character and making them the focus.

This one was unfortunately the lowest of the series for me. I got halfway through and then put it down, thinking I would come back to it, but I just had so many other good books waiting for me, and I wasn't that invested in Bowen and Tamsyn's relationship.

I may try again at some point, maybe during a reread of the other two in the series, but for me, the vibes were just meh.

This is a really cute series however this was my least favorite in the series. I think I wasn't in the headspace for a witchy read tied to the holidays (personal preference) and the book seemed to jump into the plot/relationship without a lot of buildup. For a stand alone book in a series I would have enjoyed more of a slow build in the first half of the book. The banter and the messages/emails/texts were cute and my favorite part!
