Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and that’s without a harem of gorgeous men to deal with.
Mia Harrington has had a difficult time of it lately—her father’s illness and subsequent death, then finding out she must get married if she is to inherit what’s rightfully hers. Fortunately, she’s tough and resourceful, and has emerged relatively unscathed from this period, as well as finding herself a suitable husband.
However, things are far from simple. Mia might be planning to marry investment banker Elias Pym, but she’s also having a relationship with his best friend, Doctor Alex Cartwright, and is in love with her gardener, Thomas Walker. Add to that broken dates, flashy proposals, a sexy Asian tech billionaire, and a nosey housekeeper, and you’ve got a situation hectic enough to drive even the most capable person to distraction. Can Mia juggle her men, her job, and the wedding arrangements, or is her happily ever after over before it has even begun?

Mia thinks she has everything lined up. She's found a way to fulfill her fathers wishes to keep her estate and get everything else she wants too. Can you really have it all though? What happens when secrets are kept? Can they survive the real world now that their fun weekend is over?
This is the second book about Mia and her guys. In the first book I was left with a couple of questions. I believe my review said something to the effect of "I just wanted a little more." Well my questions were answered in this book. Mia has to find a way to let Alex and Elias know about Tom. Which was one of my concerns in the first book. I'm glad we go more in depth into that in this book. We do eventually make it to the wedding but this is more of the journey of getting there. The obstacles that their type of relationship presents and how real life can toss everything upside down.
I really enjoyed the journey Lucy took us on in this book. Mia is a great, strong, independent but loving character. The guys are all unique and they all bring something different to the table. And as always, Lucy gives us some super hot sexy times as well. Don't miss out on this one and get ready for Mia's Choice coming up in July.

You really need to read the first book, Mia’s Men, before dipping into this one, as it’s very much a “part 2”.
I found Mia a very likeable character, and enjoyed following her continuing steamy adventures in polyamory. Some of the potential emotional nightmares this sort of set-up could involve are acknowledged, but resolved nicely enough. The two books together make a nice and easy-to-read “wishes come true” story, with very British characters.
If you haven’t picked up Mia’s Men, what are you waiting for?! This is the next book of the series and I couldn’t put it down. This book ties up the lose ends nicely. Each one of her men bring something different to the table. This book focuses more on the journey to get to the wedding than the actual wedding. Mia has to come clean with all of her men about each other. I can’t wait for the third installment of this series.
In spite of the fairytale quality of the story, I am completely envious of Mia. I am slightly more receptive to the implausibility of this story. Mia finally coming clean with all of the guys made me feel better about it all.
Mia is back with her gorgeous men <3 The character development in this book is awesome and we get to see the progress in her relationship with the guys! I love Mia's sassyness and straight-forward attitude. Plus the steaminess <3 Must read!
In this second installment, Mia is arranging her wedding to investment banker Elias Prim while juggling a relationship with Elias's friend Dr. Alex Cartwright, and her gardener Thomas Walker. Add in a gorgeous Asian Billionaire, and it is enough to keep anyone busy! Mia's wedding continues where Mia's men leaves off and continues the amusing and wonderful story of Mia and her guys. Lucy Felthouse has created a wonderful realistic and addictive contemporary series that leaves the reader wanting more. If you love RH books, then this is a definite read.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book. This one picks up right where the first one left off. I think that we really get to know all of the men better in this one and we finally get to see them interact with each other. Surprisingly, not a whole lot of time is spent on the actual wedding despite the title. I enjoyed Mia's Men, but I actually think the story gets better in this one. It flew by and was over before I knew it and ends in such a way that it wraps up this one but leaves us with a semi cliffhanger and excited for the next one. We also get to see the wedding, even though it was like 20 minutes of the whole book.
I enjoyed this narrator's performance and I feel like she differentiates all of the men's voices well. I actually think this performance was a little better than in the first book. Great Narration!
I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
This was a great sequel! Mia has decided to marry Elias to keep her inheritance. She has to find a way to tell Elias and Alex that she’s still with Thomas, has a potential fourth, and hope that it all works out for the best. I love that we get to know each of her three men better throughout this book, see how they interact with each other, and see exactly how they work out the arrangement. This book was more so leading up to the wedding than the wedding itself. I really enjoyed watching her relationship grow with each of her men and her trying to keep her harem a secret from the public’s eye. Poppy did another fantastic job with this narration! She brought each character and all of the scenes to life with her performance and I love her British accent. *I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
A simple concept - marriage or Mia loses her family's estate, job, money etc. However the choice must be 'appropriate' for her class standing. Her relationship with the staff not able to meet that standard!
Book 2 in the series starts with the wedding and a ridiculously awesome honeymoon.
Totally implausible and not enough steam or combinations for a 5* though.
Also I bought this on Audible... and found the voice narrating it very irritating, perhaps that is why I struggle to give it the 5*. Too prim and innocent sounding even in the most interesting situations.
DNF. The first book started out okay, but the author ruined it for me when she skipped 5 months of time. The relationship building between everyone in that time frame was just glossed over, and for a contemporary RH I feel that time is crucial. Literally just briefed us on the addition of a fourth male without anything in depth to build the dynamics off of.
First of all the story felt too rushed and without a proper relationship building, secondly, I really hated how the heroine planned her wedding without even informing the majority of her harem that there are other members in it. That was way too close to cheating for me. And again, there was no story arc, i.e. no tension building and the grand finale, just a steady flow without surprises.
Mia’s Wedding was another good read by Lucy Felthouse. Mia is in love with multiple men but must marry one in order to inherit what is rightfully hers from her father. Mia is planning her wedding to Elias while also having a relationship with Alex and Thomas. She also has caught the eye of an Asian tech billionaire. I have enjoyed reading Mia’s story and can’t wait to read the rest.
Their is only one or two steamy scenes in this book. We spend more time establishing the relationships and everyone agreeing with the others in the harem. I like the guys but am not as crazy about Mia in this story. I am still rooting for a HEA which is how book 2 ends. I wanted more time in the relationship with the guys instead of just discussing. So I am onto book 3 hoping to get more steam!
It’s a short book but I really enjoyed it, I was worried that their would be drama and that the two friends that suggested sharing her wouldn’t be ok with Thomas who’s the sweetest thing & then I felt like she was getting greedy adding a 4th guy. But luckily they were all okay with it so there was zero drama just fun and a wedding to plan.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Mia fell in love with three men and she must marry one for her inheritance. This book tells about them leading up to the wedding and a fourth man is added to the mix.
I wish these books were just 1 longer book instead of 3 shorter books. I hate having to spend $4 for a fraction of a story. Overall good. Again, wish there were more sexy times
Mia's Wedding takes us further into Mia's life as she juggles her responsibilities to her attraction to multiple men, loving one, marrying another, and all round sexing it up. We see her battle with herself as she tries to overcome society's prejudices and does what's right for her.
I've been looking forward to this story. I wanted to know how she fares with Elias and Alex as she decides to marry Elias to save her inheritance. And of course, I wanted to see more of the delicious Thomas and get to know Arjun better.
If I'm being honest, as much as I enjoyed this story, there were a few things I struggled with. We saw a lot of Mia's internal struggle in trying to control everything. All the aspects in her life and then men in her life. It got a little tedious after a while because the entire focus seemed to be about Mia being a control freak. I kept wanting her to just let go and be, but it was not something she seemed to manage very well. It's funny because she was well aware of it and even berated herself a few times about it in the book. There were times when I wanted to shake her.
Quotes: And, just like that, her nervousness evaporated. Then she realised: she’d fallen back into the trap of worrying and what-ifs and had forgotten about the part where this whole thing was supposed to be fun. As she looked at the two men, who were now on the verge of descending into a hitting-each-other-with-hopefully-clean-socks fight, she could hardly believe that vital piece of information had slipped her mind. What a moron.
Quotes: “Mia,” he said seriously, “I know what you’re like. Stop overthinking this. Just let it be. We’re three blokes who’ve got one major thing in common—you. Maybe we won’t always get along, but even if we don’t, it’s not like we’re going to be living in each other’s pockets, is it?” “That’s true,” she conceded. “And you’re right—I was overthinking it. As always.”
I loved the men but I wanted more of them. The focus was so much on Mia and her control freak tendencies that I felt the men were kinda left out.
I adored Thomas, of course. He's so understanding and loving, and that makes him simply gorgeous. Seeing how he's been in Mia's life the longest and most consistently, I felt like I knew him the best. He got a lot of page time in the first book and decent page time here.
With Elias and Alex, I really wanted to get to know them better. While things sped along really fast in their relationship, especially between Mia and Elias since they had decided on a marriage of convenience, I wanted to see more relationship and character development. There was a lot of mention of polyamory and Mia's harem, but not enough of the men's personalities. It seemed all seemed a little too clinical to me. Mia and Elias went from a marriage to help her save her inheritance in a blink. I wanted to see them fall in love and read about their feelings developing.
As for Arjun, man, I wanted to see some sexy-times between him and Mia. In fact, I wanted to see sexy-times between all the men and Mia. Am I being too naughty for wanting a threesome or a foursome or more? And again, I wanted more character and relationship development there too. Yeah, I know, I harp on that a lot, but really, it's all about the character and relationships in these stories for me.
All that said, I feel fully invested in Mia's journey. I'm curious to see what happens after the wedding and what decisions Mia needs to make about her life going forward.
But before I go, let's mention the wedding. Man, the wedding was lovely. I may have got a little teary over the wedding details. The nod to Mia's parents, the sentiment, the men, the setting. All gorgeous. I do love a good wedding scene. My two favorite parts of the story - Thomas and the wedding scene. I'd love to see what they get up to as a group in the honeymoon. Maybe Ms Felthouse will include that in the next book?
On that note, I'll leave you with this. The whole point of the concept of a reverse harem.
Quotes: “I’m sure you will. Besides, this was part of what you two meant when you were talking about being able to give a woman the attention she deserves between you, wasn’t it? Alex unfortunately can’t make it, but because I’m dating—or whatever the hell we’re calling this—both of you, it means I’m not left high and dry. I’m sure at some point you’ll be the one who has to cancel. These things happen.”
If you're up for a fun, sexy reverse harem read, you need to check out this series.
