4 stars!
I love Matthew and Holly! Weddings are stressful. It makes people crazy. But it all makes for a funny story! You have to read The Two-Night One-Night Stand to fully understand this book.
Holly and Matthew are engaged and getting ready to get married but actually planning their wedding wasn’t going to good. Anything that could go wrong did like their apartment building catching on fire and having to move in with Matthew's parents until they could find another place to live or buy a house. Also they cant have sex while living with his parents as there was squeaky bedsprings. Holly is not comfortable with matthew’s mom as she had originally said they had started as a one night stand. Matthew and Holly only want a simple wedding but no one seems to be listening to what they want even though it is their wedding. It is really hard with Matthew’s work schedule and Holly’s proposed wedding budget. Also deviating from the traditional. It looks like this wedding may not happen at all. Also with the pressure of family influence and drama shot in things aren’t getting better.
This was a very good book. I laughed out loud several times and that is rare for me as I usually just chuckle when reading. I did like that Holly and Matthew did make the important thing each other and how they loved each other. I also liked that this was told from both Holly and Matthew’s POV. I advise you read the first book in this series first so you have all the background you need for this to read smoothly. I also didn’t want to stop reading as i wanted to see what was going to happen next. I liked the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.
Ryan Ringbloom's The Two-Night One-Night Wedding is the perfect sequel to the Two-Night One-Night Stand.
Thank you Netgalley and Xpresso Book Tours for proving me with a copy of this book. I LOVED this book. As I started reading this I then paused and decided to take the author's advice and read the first book first, The Two-Night One-Stand. I enjoyed the first book immensely and really loved The Two-Night, One-Night Wedding.
Both books had me giggling with delight. The story was both humours, realistic and just pure fun!
I loved Matthew & Holly together. Matthew was gorgeous and adorable.
I have never read a Ryan Ringbloom book before but definitely plan to read more. This author is awesome. I have been reading a lot of Alpha male oriented books lately and this story just made a lovely refreshing change.
Would love to read something by this author again! The story was well thought out and the characters were very likable!
Crazy, funny romantic comedy...4.5stars!
This is the sequel to Two-Night One-Night Stand which is a must read, and you might want to read this book first to get full appreciation of the characters, and a bit of background info on the “peen.”
With Matthew and Holly over the hump of awkward singleton, and officially becoming a couple, they are ready to commit to “Soul mate” heaven and running full throttle to marriage. They are the quintessential best nerd couple all-around, that is what makes them so unique and endearing. Unfortunately, wedding details get derailed when a fire ruins their apartment building forcing them to live with Matthew’s parents.
Holly is still feeling awkward about the first time she blurts out about having a one- night stand with Matthew to his mom, so getting comfortable in her company is just not happening. But Matthew ensures all is fine and things will work out. Throw in all the hurdles that new couples face when it comes to family antics, best friend jealousy, money worries, buying a house, no sex while living with the parents, the pre-wedding parties, and the myriad of other stuff, and it’s enough to blow a gasket on the wedding. Poor Matthew and Holly just want simple, but family and friends have other ideas that put constant pressure on the relationship.
I love how Matthew and Holly stay constant with each other. They really know where their heart is and what’s important. The author keeps it light, funny, and sweet with a bit of steam. I just love the final resolution and how everything comes together. Two-Night One-Night Wedding is entertaining and oh, so satisfying. Loved it.
I received and voluntarily reviewed an ARC given to me by the author via NetGalley.
A few months ago I read The Two-Night One-Night Stand, and I really enjoyed it, so I was excited to read this one. Unfortunately, a lot of things that worked for me on the first book, didn’t quite steal my heart on this one. The reason I ended up rating this book so low, was because my main issue with it was the plot.
I also found the writing slightly inferior to the first book, it was still funny and the author managed to write some funny situations, but some of them were just way too cliché, or run down jokes, and it just felt a little flat for me.
Matthew and Holly were still super funny, but I was disheartened to see such a huge lack of communication between them, and I honestly didn’t quite feel that much chemistry between them. And I wanted to kill all secondary characters at some point or another in the book, because they were all meddling way too much. But what really annoyed me, was how Holly and Matthew just let them o ahead and meddle in their lives…
Now, about the plot… and the wedding… and the characters… first of all, I hated the lack of consistency surrounding Holly and the wedding. A girl that is willing to pump up her guest list just so she can book a venue she really can’t afford, annoys me to no end. I’m glad that didn’t happen, but still, it crossed her mind. I was a bit annoyed by the 8 or 80 thing going on surrounding the wedding, and the doubt on everyone’s minds about the wedding plans.
Overall, the book just didn’t do it for me. I didn’t hate it, but I felt it was a bit unnecessary. Some things could have been cut from this novel, and it would have been more enjoyable for me.
EITHER WAY, I STILL VERY MUCH RECOMMEND BOOK 1, WHICH WAS HILARIOUS, BUT MAYBE YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SKIP THIS ONE…
Since I read the book before this one a few months ago as soon as saw this one on NetGalley I had to request it. To be honest, The Two-Night One-Night Stand was hilarious so of course I wanted to read this one. While there were a lot of funny scenes in this book I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous one. It still had a rom-com vibe and I wouldn't mind to watch something like this because it would be hilarious.
Once again, I really like the characters in this book however I had a few problems with the friends and family. This book is about Holly and Matthew's wedding. What got me mad was that everyone wanted to have an opinion about the wedding. I didn't like when Jayne criticized Holly's choices about the wedding. As Holly's best-friend she should have been supportive and not a bitch putting doubts in her friend's head. I also didn't like how pushy Matthew's family was sometimes. They were always there and there was always something stupid happening. I would have just loved to see Matthew and Holly to stand up for themselves sometimes. I did enjoy the book and it was funny.
Overall, this was a really fast and enjoyable read. While I might have had a few problems with this book I still think it was a funny read so if you have some free time, don't know what to read and want something light and funny you should give this one a try because it won't disappoint you.
copy received through Netgalley for review
We met Matthew and Holly in Two Night One Night Stand. They continue their adventure in this fun story Matthew has proposed and now all we have to do is plan a wedding and get married. How hard can that be? With Matthew and Holly nothing is easy What follows is a winding road to wedded bliss. Anything that can go wrong does go wrong. A little bit of angst for the characters, but the ride is fun for the reader. The characters along with the family and friends are great. It's non stop fun and love in this story
Loved this book! Kept me in stitches the whole way through! Holly and Matthew are trying to plan the wedding of their dreams however, life has other plans. Between money issues, family interference, and an apartment fire it’s beginning to look a lot like the wedding won’t be happening. Throughout the whole book you can’t wait to see what will happen next. This is the first book I’ve read by Ryan Ringbloom but it definitely won’t be the last!
Just an FYI before you read this book there is a book preceding this one introducing these characters called The Two Night One Night Stand.
This is the sequel to The Two-Night One Night Stand so it will help if you have read it and therefore have some familiarity with the characters and how they ended up together but Ringbloom does a great job of writing this so it could work as a stand-alone too. If you did read the first then you’ll LOVE what she has done with the characters now.
This book definitely brings new meaning to that phrase “Marry the person, marry the family” and made me glad we opted for more ‘private’ arrangements when we got married lol. Although I didn’t completely escape the in-law antics so I had a lot of empathy for these two. I think anyone who has been through the ‘process’ of engagement and trying to just get to the part where they are officially legal will completely understand what this couple is going through and if you haven’t yet – consider this your warning LOL! It’s also a good story for those who have someone close to them that is getting married because there are so many stereotypes in this novel it kind of forces you to hold up a mirror to see if you’re THAT person who ends up being written about in Dear Prudence.
There was so much humor in this but what I really loved was how the author wrote her characters not to have the typical Bridezilla, let’s constantly fight kind of relationship but instead they seemed to take it all in stride and understand the wedding isn’t as important as the relationship. The alternating points of view between the couple really helped give a wide picture of how everyone was feeling and particularly trying to put together a wedding getting to see the guy’s pov was interesting.
Ringbloom is such a fun author to read that you can’t go wrong picking up one of her books to enjoy this summer.
The Two-Night One-Night Wedding, well not sure quite what I was expecting when I picked up this novel by Ryan Ringbloom, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
It's actually been a while since I've read just for chuckles and also that a story has actually made me laugh out loud, so much so my other half has come in from the kitchen to check if I'm alright (it was that glitter scene that set that little giggle-fest off man so funny.)
Well, I started reading this on my kindle in the morning, I read and read and read some more, kids and hubby had to fend for themselves, such a poor neglected family, having to make their own cocoa-pops.
Was I bothered NO!!!!
Because I had my nose stuck in this hilarious book and I was not stopping till I finished, which I believe was about 3 pm.
So after a massive read-fest, no breakfast, copious amounts of coffee kindly supplied by poor neglected other- half I finished.
You know what I found out?
This is a sequel!!! well, I can honestly tell you that made not a blind bit off difference to my enjoyment of The Two-Night One-Night Wedding, this can totally be read as a standalone.
|And I am definitely going to read the first book, but purely for enjoyment purposes as book two was such a hoot.
Quite ironic really, reading these books back to front, just like the wedding and honeymoon themselves.
So if you want to kick back and just have a chuckle, then this is the book for you, A real laugh out loud experience is just waiting for you between the pages of this book.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a free readers copy of The Two-Night One-Night Wedding By Ryan Ringbloom.
It was enjoyed immensely by myself and this is my unbiased opinion of the book.
This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.
Another great book by Ms. Ringbloom with the most adorkable characters out there! I loved the book that came before this and was excited to see this follow-up. I was a little worried that it wouldn't measure up, but it totally held its own. Once again, I laughed from start to finish. And not just a chuckle here and there, but full-fledged tears-running-down-my-face laughter. These two characters are so perfect together, If you're looking for a captivating story about two realistically flawed people facing challenges together in the funniest way possible, then this one is for you!
