The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling
4.0
The Wedding Witch pairs mostly-reclusive mountain man Bowen Penhallow with outgoing rule-bender Tamsyn Bligh. He hires her to procure magical artifacts for him, and, since he’s her employer, she vows not to date him.
But they’ve felt a connection since the moment they met.
And they both end up at the same Yuletide wedding in Wales, where they magically get transported back to 1957.
And, well, in circumstances like those, some things are just too tough to resist.
While this is book 3 of the series, we only interact briefly with characters from the first two books, so you could easily jump straight into this one without reading books 1 and 2 first.
Highlights for me:
- How she challenges him
- The BANTER (Yes, that does deserve all caps.)
- How much I grinned and giggled through this one
- The text messages and emails (Seriously, I could eat epistolary elements up with a spoon. I love them that much.)
- How down bad Bowen is
- Honestly, just Bowen in general (One of the notes I jotted down while reading it just says, “Oh my gosh, I love him.”)
- All of the Welsh phrases and endearments
- The middle-of-the-night confessions
I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the buildup in the relationship but understand that the bulk of the book takes place in the short block of time centered around the wedding and time travel back to 1957. I also would have liked more clarity about how everything becomes magically resolved. All-in-all, though, it’s a quick, fun read with a really strong beginning that will suck you in.
I received an advance copy of the book from Avon. All review opinions are my own.
