I will gladly read anything by this author, whether it be Erin Sterling's cozy witchy romances or Rachel Hawkins's mystery/thrillers. The Wedding Witch is the third book in the Graves Glen series, following the third Penhallow brother. Because Bowen is somewhat a rogue brother, this book feels different from the rest of the series. It is the only book primarily set outside Graves Glen, as Bowen is usually depicted in the series off researching rare magical artifacts and obscure spellcraft. The rest of the series has a squarely fall/Halloween vibe, where as this book is equal parts Christmas holiday romance and somewhat witchy Halloween stuff. The pacing of this book is also a little uneven; there's a lot of setup since the two leads have spent the rest of the series largely in the margins. The story is largely self-contained, but the subtle tie ins to the wider world of the series and its canon are really fun. It's also a time travel story, a premise that is particularly difficult to land. The rushed resolution and conclusion of this story are more apparent due to the challenges of the time travel plot. Even so, I was delighted by Bowen and Tamsyn's story. The characters (both the two leads and the extensive supporting cast) and their chemistry are a real treat.

Loved this, definitely my favourite pairing of the three books
A sunshine grumpy couple, but where the ‘grumpy’ is an earnest lovable introvert and the sunshine is upbeat and energetic, but sensible and not annoying.
I love a romance with slightly older protagonists, that actually act their ages. Likely in their 30s, they communicate well, understand each other seasoning and space and have respect for each other. A contemporary romance, where the romance built in a natural feeling way
The spice took a bit of time coming, but when it did… 🥵
The story/mystery was really intriguing, although the resolution was a bit ‘it’s just magic innit, doesn’t have to make sense’. Which felt a bit lazy, or maybe I missed something
Overall still really enjoyed this book
The writing was funny and witty, the dialogue felt realistic, the main couple were sexy but lovable and the romance/love declarations felt earnt
Great romance with a side of witchiness

I wanted to love this book so much. I love the other two in the series, but this took me MONTHS to finish. This book seemed off kilter compared to the other two. I found it boring and I just didn’t care about Graves Glen anymore.

Couldn’t get into the audiobook. Something about the narration. I listen at 2.4 speed and the accent at that speed was hard to listen to. Also just didn’t connect with the characters.
