Mrs. Mulroney is still a crazy flower. Tilly still the wise girl next door and mr. Banks still out of his mind.
Matt and Cal are going to get married in Italy. Sky is the limit. When a family member appears out of nothing Cal and his brother Angus are confused... It could be too beautiful to be true.
Sometimes it had utterly endearing lines “I don’t think I can live by myself anymore.” Sometimes it was out of control.. way too much.
It was a rollercoaster of events... Maybe I’m not the right one to read comedies... In my humble opinion I think it’s more a story for a movie like the “The Hangover” than a story for a book.
5 star series. Mad cap adventures ensue when a person from the past shows up. Fairly typical plot but done in the same endearing, quirky style as the first book with the same kooky friends and found-family appearing and adding to the chaos and laughs.
Book 2 of 3 following the same couple, must be read in order. Not a huge time commitment as the first book is 170 pages, second is 172 pages and the third is 110 pages. Very fast read, always entertaining and always moving forward, a great rom-com romp.
A bit spicier than the first book, overall still mild spice. More heart-felt mad cap rom-com than deep romance or erotica. I’d give this book 4 stars on its own, but together, this is a 5 star series.
NYC, m/m, rich/poor, HEA, series, book two, wedding.
Well, we are back with the whole crew as they travel to Italy for Cal and Matt's wedding. Laughs galore and perhaps not so many when somebody from Cal's past shows up. A great jaunt in this the second book in the series.
Oh my goodness gracious I couldn’t stop laughing through this whole book…what a delight!
Matt and Cal are getting married. Cal wants everything to be perfect for that day he finally gets to marry his beloved. So Cal flies off, with Angus and Paulina in tow, to Italy to set up the most splendidly perfect, romantic wedding in a gorgeous villa overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Then he flies Matt, Mr. Banks, Mrs. Mulroney and Tilly over for the wedding of the century. All Matt wants and needs is his Cal in his arms and his heart. The billions mean nothing to him if he can’t have the man that has literally stolen his heart. After all Matt is a romance author and Cal insists on doing everything up right for his romance writer. Things take on a peculiar twist when fate drops Cal and Angus’ estranged mom at the wedding venue. She is so thrilled to have both of her sons, well at least one of them, back in her life and intends to show them Italy the right way, because she is a travel tour guide. But things seem amiss with her sudden appearance. Can Cal learn to forgive his mother? And will she be the “icing on the cake” for their wedding or the evil omen that Mrs. Mulroney fears?
This was even more of a joy than the first book. It was like anything and everything that can happen to these men will if the fates allow it. I was fearful of Donatella from the moment she came into the villa. There was just something so fishy about her but I understand the drawn to Angus. He had wait, with her picture under his pillow every night, for years for his mom to return. And Cal, being the loving and protective younger brother, would do anything for his older Down’s syndrome brother to make him happy. Even if that means allowing the woman who had crushed his brother’s heart so many years before to return to their lives. He loves so wholeheartedly and that is why he is the sweet man he is.
What I truly loved about Cal was his love for Matt that shone so brightly throughout the book. It was endearing that this worldly self-made billionaire was so confident in the business world yet so unsure and nervous when it came to Matt. He almost seemed in awe that Matt would love him so completely and forever. But that kinda makes sense since his own mom had ditched them when he was just a baby. I also loved how protective of the men Mrs. Mulroney was. She could smell a rat and wasn’t going to let some lowlife take advantage of her “family”. And Matt’s love for Cal was so pure and real. He could have cared less if Cal was a billionaire or a corner newspaper seller. He just loved him and wanted him safely in his arms forever.
As you can tell, I loved this book! It isn’t some poetic masterpiece but it is simply a fun, romantic comedy filled with love and laughter. If you are in need of a good laugh then this quick read is perfect. I must warn you however, this is not a standalone book. But I can assure you that you will enjoy the fun filled antics in “The Billionaire’s Boyfriend” too. I can’t wait for the next book this fall!

I can't praise Geoffrey Knight's genius in The Billionaire's Wedding enough. When you see the description "A Romantic Comedy" on the cover, believe it!
If you like humor, infused with some sad storylines, The Billionaire's Wedding is for you. I, for one, will be hard pressed to keep a straight face anytime I think about childbirth, or the afterbirth, to be more precise. Probably even elevators. Meryl Streep too!
This book contains some light hearted and fun humor! Honestly, it is just one wonderfully fun and enchanting book!
Matt and Cal are ready for their fantasy wedding. Matt starts to actually worry that there's no way a wedding can be perfect and how will Cal react if something ruins their day.
Then Cal's mom returns and her timing seems a little suspicious, leaving people wondering if she'll mess everything up for the couple.
Their relationship is super sweet, charming and so damn loving! There's some light couple angst, but I repeat, it is light. In general, Matt and Cal are just perfect together and the reader is just along for the ride.
And the side characters! They are all so darn funny, so darn lovable, and just the best hand-picked family anyone could ever ask for! And as for mom, good freakin-riddins!
Thank you Geoffrey Knight for this pure comedic gold! You did more than entertain me with a nice romance, you had me looking like a fool as I laughed out loud, a lot. You managed to absolute transport me into this zany and fantastic world. Then again, any book that debates the plural of octopus is naturally my kind of book!
I highly recommend The Billionaire's Wedding, and I now need to go back and look at everything else Geoffrey Knight has ever published. If they are even a tad bit like this one, I have to read them!
I loved the first book in this series, The Billionaire’s Boyfriend, so much. When I found out there was a sequel, I jumped on it quick enough to make your head spin. Cal and Matthew worked their way into my heart, and they’ve been there since. Now, with The Billionaire’s Wedding, they’ve solidified themselves as one of my favorite couples ever.
The author wrote two amazing characters. Both men are good, nice guys. There isn’t an evil bone in their bodies. Their love for each other is strong and pure. There was some angst, but it was such a teeny tiny amount, I didn’t feel any urge to skim until I found happiness again. With Cal and Matthew, it didn’t matter that Cal had more money than anyone could spend in a lifetime, or that Matthew hasn’t been successful in his pursuit to be a best selling author, they just clicked. They had chemistry to spare, and not just in the bedroom…although they had some serious chemistry in there. I was able to feel the pull between them, and most of all, I found it to be completely believable. Ok, not everyone meets a billionaire who sweeps them off their feet and whisks them and their friends to Italy to marry them, but I believe it could happen. Fantasy meets reality here, and that formula is perfection.
Weddings can be real trials of everyone’s patience, and as this story shows, that is true even for insanely rich billionaires. I loved Matt, a romance writer with some truly inspiring friends, and Cal, his charming fiancé billionaire, in the first book, and I came to adore them even more in this sequel. The story of their “perfect” Italian wedding is funny, filled with surprises, wonderfully touching, and suspenseful almost to the last moment.
Blurb: Italy’s Amalfi Coast, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, is the dream location for the perfect wedding, and billionaire Calvin Croft is determined to pull out all the stops to make his marriage to Matt Darcy a day that nobody will forget.
But before Matt and Cal can walk down the aisle and say ‘I do’, someone uninvited turns up out of the blue… and turns Cal’s life completely upside-down.
Will Matt ever get to marry the man of his dreams? Will Cal be able to come to terms with his past and get on with his future? Or will an unwelcome guest put their romance on the rocks forever?
You’re invited to the wedding of the year as Matt, Cal, Mrs. Mulroney, Mr. Banks, Tilly and Angus return for more hilarious antics, swooning romance and a surprise that none of them will see coming!
Our book opens with the flight from hell for Matt as he travels to Italy to marry his wonderful boyfriend Calvin. His chosen family, who share his small apartment block in New York includes Mrs Mulroney (the borderline alcoholic florist), Tilly (the upstairs kid who is super smart and often hangs out when she’s lonely) and Mr Banks the senile veteran and tall-story teller). The notion of chosen family is one I love, so this was perfect in all its imperfect people!
I really enjoyed The Billionaire’s Boyfriend (My Billionaire Book1) and this book was no different. The characters are almost cartoonish in their caricatures, but are so very funny! The presence of Matt and Cal’s chosen family (as crazy as they are) added to the wedding fun.
Cal is the super calm billionaire who waits to pick up his fiancé and the crazy people from the airport. Of all the characters in the book Cal is the only one who feels slightly flat to me. Perhaps it is because in light of all the other folks, he’s positively boring?
Anyhoo, the trail of the wedding begins. Enter the villain (Calvin’s long lost mother who abandoned him and his Down’s Syndrome brother when Cal was a baby) who is as horrific as can be. The group then work together to save Cal from disaster..
This is a funny, sweet, charming caper of a book.
Recommended!
I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
# This is so funny.. hashtags can never have enough hashtags😂 Oh I didn't get far into this book before I started laughing (yah not advised when your drinking coffee lol). But then in Italy things certainly get interesting as characters... well I won't spoil any hints. As to say from an Irish lady, Mrs Mulroney "The game is afoot" The ending is gorgeous and full of dramatic scenes as things happen. 6 months ago Matt and Calvin romance first blossomed and now its all fast forward to their wedding day in 3 days. Matt's a nervous wreck if he can just survive an air-plane trip with his friends.
We read the story of how Cal and Matt met and fell in love. We read about how crazy , funny but loving their support system was. And we are now about to see them vow forever... right?!? Cal just wanted the perfect wedding for the man he loves... But will the unexpected destroy their world before that can happen?
Another hilarious story of Matt, Cal and their gang of funny but caring family/friends. I received this book as an Advanced Readers Copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation
Following 'The Billionaire's Boyfriend' this was just as entertaining and funny with a little splash of angst. Matt and Cal, along with their troop of crazy neighbours, are in Italy trying to prepare for their wedding when the very unexpected happens and chaos ensues. Right from the first few lines we are treated to an absolutely hilarious caper on a plane, I couldn't stop laughing. This author is amazing, I'm so glad I came across him, he has many other books to explore, but first I'm going to read book three in this series, wonderful stuff!
I found this book lol funny. From the first page I was hooked by the antics of these characters on a flight to Italy and it gave a twist on the bondage kink. 😂 I hadn’t read anything by this author before but I will definitely be reading more.
Matt and Cal were an adorable couple but for me Mrs Mulroney stole the show. This woman was hilarious but also kind, caring and wise. The rest of the crazy chosen family were also a delight.
What a ride! And the crazy antic start from page one on. The coach flight to Italy sets the stage for this amusing, zany, and fast pace story where the villain is dastardly, the damsel is a guy and the side kicks are either out of their heads, under age or drunk on limoncello and on top of everything there's a wedding to plan. A wonderful addition to the My Billionaire series.
This was a great continuation of the first book. Cal and Matt have had a whirlwind romance and it's time they take it to the next level. Cal wanted the perfect wedding and while it seemed everything was going well someone puts a spanner in the works. Still the same lol, sometimes steamy low angst read. Fun indeed.
Enjoyed this one so much. More hijinks from the cast of characters but my heart broke for Angus and Cal. The wedding was supposed to be perfect but the arrival of Donna changed things. Ultimately their wedding was perfect because they had their family, those who loved them in the now.
This was so over the top, yet it was lovely. We had more of the same hilarity and silliness that the first book had. Cal and Matthew are getting married. We learn of their hilarious engagement, and this takes place as they are bringing their chosen family to Italy for their wedding. Great addition to the series, and I am interesting in reading the next one as well.
this was funny.. sweet.. and very fun to read. i enjoyed it a lot and i really liked seeing these two grow. very good story and i cant wait for the next
My new favorite family is back with the wedding of the century. The crazy train continues with Cal’s mom showing up out of the blue. What can go wrong does.
