omg!!! I love everything about this book! The story is so sweet; I was smiling the whole time reading it! I love Mase and Fiona's banter; it makes me giddy! I always love it when a playboy's heart softens and he becomes a one-woman man! Gosh, I don't know what else to say other than I love this book!
it's so good to have Bex and Grayson again! I'd been rooting for these two and am hungry for more BeySon scenes! I had to read Falling for the Suitor again to refresh my memory so I could remember the other characters. 😂 (Disadvantage of being a forgetful person lol)
Holly Kerr, what have you done?! You did it again! You did another exciting, engaging, and lovable love story that made me pass out due to over-swooning! You write so well that I feel like I'm living vicariously through Fiona's feelings for Mase! You just hit the right spot! I didn't even know I was in the last chapter already! I WANT MORE! Can this have a sequel?
i highly recommend this book! It's a light read and a fast-paced story; like literally "love in fast forward".😂
ps: i recommend reading Falling For The Suitor (Bexley and Grayson's story) first before reading this book, to relate to the other characters mentioned.
thank you @netgalley and Three Birds Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review 💙
I very much enjoyed this cute story. I was annoyed that the friends were so serious about determining their friends’ future. How could they still be friends if they were so disapproving? But outside of that, it was a nice lgiht read with the happy ending I need these days. Title is too long.
Absolutely yes! I really enjoyed reading this novel. The characters were fun, it held my interest, and provided an escape from reality. I would definitely recommend!
Quick Summary: A "Two Hearts Collide" Romance
My Review: Marrying the Billionaire Best Friend by Holly Kerr was a super cute, super fun read. It, quite simply, charmed its way into my heart. I found it to be playful, funny, outrageous (in a good way), and just darn enchanting.
Fiona and Mase were two people who weirdly worked. They clicked. This oddly opposites-attract couple had a relationship that defied the odds. I couldn't help but cheer for them. Watching their two hearts collide was very satisfying.
About the Main Characters:
Fiona was intelligent, quirky, loyal, assertive, and lovable. Despite her anxiety, she powered through. I loved how she transformed into a lioness by the end of the book.
Mase was a nice guy. Although he learned how to wear a mask, based on some of the unfair expectations placed upon him, he was decent and seemed to have a good heart. I loved that he looked out for his friends. I loved that he didn't have a problem with Fee "saving the day."
Other Characters of Interest:
Grayson and Bexley were an interesting couple. Their story attracted my attention. (Do they have a book in this series? Hmm...🤔)
Tad proved to be a noteworthy prospect as a person of interest for a future story of his own. (Bring it! I'm so there.)
I was intrigued by Mase's sisters. I know they weren't major players in the story. Regardless, they presented themselves in a way that caused me to want to know more. (I've got a boatload of questions.)
My Final Say: This little gem will draw in readers who want a simple, sweet, quickie romance with a punch.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. 100% yes. I lived this book. There's wasn't a moment where I wasn't thoroughly hooked. I almost skipped class today so I could finish the book. I love myself a marriage of any kind trope.
Holly Kerr hit it out or the park (ha get it?) with this book. What's not to love? Baseball, male strippers, and Vegas.
10/10 recommend.
This was such a fun read! I am a huge fan of a whirlwind romance and this was that! A pleasant reminder to not judge a book by its cover, pun intended.
A cute, easy to read, fast-paced romance. This would be easy to consume in one sitting. I enjoyed the cuteness of it.

Marrying the Billionaire Best Friend is a fun romantic tale that takes place mostly in Las Vegas.
Mason, a billionaire baseball player and famous womaniser, organises a weekend in Las Vegas to celebrate the engagement of his best friend Grayson to Bexley. There, he meets Fiona who is a shy introvert and Bexley's best friend.
Those two couldn't be more different. Mason is always the centre of attention given his fame and status, but carries his own 'baggage', while Fiona prefers reading books and watching TV with her pets.
Despite the obvious differences in their lifestyle, somehow, these two connect during this wild Vegas weekend, and end up married by an Elvis. How will they handle the fallout?
This tale is quick to read and creates warm feelings. It is one of those stories that the characters fall in love quickly and unexpectedly. The time they spend together is really beautiful, and the author described everything in detail. I could imagine myself being in Las Vegas and partying with them.
The secondary characters are fun and very different from one another.
What I struggled with most, and you could blame this on my cynic self, if you'd like is the timeline of their romance. They know each other mere hours, and they get married and fall in love in a matter of less than 48 hours altogether. Not only that, but they overcome the obstacles and difficulties almost immediately. I would like there to be more buildup. It didn't convince me.
However, there are many cute moments, very romantic with some spicy moments.
It 3.5 stars for me.
Thank you Netgalley and Victory Editing for sending me an eARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.
I was so excited to read this Las Vegas romance. My partner and I got married in Vegas and I wanted to relive some of those magical vibes.
While the vibes and setting did not disappoint the rest of the story didn't really do it for me.
The plot and characters needed a bit more development, and honestly the match to me just didn't make sense.
Our leading lady who has been hurt by guys falls hard and fast for this playboy? What?!?
It was still a fun read and had a decent writing style that made it a very quick read. I guess I was just hoping for more.
A quick, engaging, and fun read! I happily spent an afternoon avoiding my responsibilities and enjoying my time with Fiona and Mase. I would happily follow along for more of this series!
This was a cute book. It is part of a series and it made me want to read the others. Guaranteed happy ending. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this early read.
This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and #NetGalley. Thank you to the publishers, NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.
This is my very first book from this Author. I completely feel in love with her writing style. The plot has the perfect connectivity.
FEE - The female lead.... Well her name is Fiona but the hero lovingly calls her Fee and I truly adored that. She does has a past but the author didn't go in detail with that. I appreciate that as the author made the heroine leave her past behind and focus on her present.
MASE - The male lead is definitely a hottie. Is love for baseball is actually expressed in every chapter. I liked his words when he told his favourite sport would one day choose another person (retirement) and his Fee was truly his backbone as she asked him to enjoy his moments with baseball until then.
Bexley is a supportive best friend for the heroine. The way she stands for Fiona is really awesome to read.
Tropes:-
Las Vegas
Librarian heroine
Baseball hero
Instant love
Rapid marriage in Las Vegas
Such a great rom-com standalone book. Beautifully explains how the couple should stand up for each other. Honestly I couldn't put this book down till I finished it 😃
Thank you so much to @netgalley and @hollykerr.author for the ARC of this book. It's my immense pleasure to leave this review for the book I completely enjoyed reading.
Overall this was a cute and quick read! The parts that made it a little hard to read were there were so many characters and names added in, and most of them we don't really see or hear from again. Also I wish there was more in the middle of them being like should we get married? There was a ton of the dance club and then the rest of the book went really fast. I wish we got to see more of them falling in love as well, it moved very fast once they got married. But overall I think it was a great read, it kept me entertained and I read it in a day!

Marrying the billionaire best friend is a very cute story about friends who attend an engagement party for mutual friends, but somehow their night only begins at 2am after leaving the club, where which was the party, and ends at 9am after leaving a chapel, rings in hands! After that they have to deal with the billionaire's family, and both their friends reactions to their marriage amidst the celebration of other friends' engagement, along with accusations of fathering a child and being stalked on his end, and so much more!
This book was one of the cutest books that I read this year, I was very entertained while reading it, and I was very impressed to find a romance book that is actually clean and like it? LOL
The writing style was absolutely delightful, the characters were very likable, the line of events was smooth, quick paced and there was a bit of angst that kind of just kept me at the edge of my seat waiting for more!
This is my first book of this author, but it definitely will not be my last, after meeting those characters, I have to get back to the series and find out their stories!
I am very happy that I got the chance to read this book, it's definitely a five star in my opinion.

Five Key Feels
-I love all the layers of this book (the reality show, baseball, family dynasties).
-Fiona and Mase have amazing chemistry from the start.
-The setting of Vegas was so fun to read.
-Mase’s family life is intense, and I enjoyed Fiona’s interactions with them.
-No spoilers, but the ending was so much fun.
——
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun and flirty read with some very real elements woven in.
Fiona’s background was so heartbreaking (and then surprising, no spoilers), and Mase’s desire to follow his dreams instead of follow orders from his family was so powerful as well.
I loved the group of friends, and how they back each other up in unexpected ways.
And honestly, Vegas? A perfect place for this story to unfold!
Thank you netgalley for providing me with the arc in exchange for honest review.
This book was so swoony, so charming and so beautifully written.
Mase is a billionaire playboy and Fiona is a scientist. They both meet during their best friend's engagement event in Vegas.
I loved the characters arc and how they have grown through out the story. Fiona having thoughts about Mase being a Playboy and him being so attracted by her.The chemistry between them is just-🤌🤌
This was my first time reading Holly Kerr and definitely this won't be my last.
I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book but it was everything I could have wanted and more.
Thanks to my own Vegas love story, I'm a massive sucker for a good love story set on the strip. This book was no exception, I adored Mase and Fiona from the very first chapter. I devoured this in less than a day, on top of working a full eight hour shift. It was sweet, to the point, and made me feel SOOOO many emotions. I laughed, I teared up, and I smiled like an idiot with all the sweet and cheesy lovey-dovey moments between not only Mase and Fiona but their friends, as well. I genuinely loved every character in this story and cannot wait to read more.
I am so thankful for this ARC! This review is on Goodreads as of 10/24/22.
Marriage in Las Vegas is one of the most popular tropes and I like to read about these marriages decided on the spur of the moment or when they must agree to live together
.
But very rarely do I find an account of that moment, and in this book it is not only step by step how feelings grow between two friends of a couple who traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate their engagement
.
While Mason Help Fiona to go through a anxiety attack and stays with her until she feels better, they over come the barrier of prejudice and fall in love in the best style of Before Sunrise
.
Before they can put a name to their feelings they get married and try to go on with their friends' engagement party, but keeping the secret and their first hours of marriage can be tricky with a close-knit group of friends being followed closely by the cameras of a reality show and an ex-girlfriend who try to get it back together and with it access to his money and connections
.
I really enjoyed reading about Mason and Fiona, the long hours of that night in the city that never sleeps and how they fall in love, I enjoyed every dialogue and I would have liked to continue reading more about them
.
Thanks to Holly Kerr and Victoria Editing group for give me a copy of this beautiful book in exchange for my honest opinion
This book is the follow up to the very first book I read by this author. Fiona and Mase are friends of a couple that met on a reality TV show and are the last of that couple’s friends who have not fallen in love. Mase has arranged a group trip to Las Vegas for a bachelor and bachelorette trip. One night, he and Fiona end up alone and set off on a little adventure that ends up with them getting married.
I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would in the first few chapters. The first few chapters hooked me, but I started losing interest about the time that Fiona and Mase hit the town of Vegas. The shopping trips were a little bizarre. A couple of chapters later, my interest picked back up.
What I loved about this book is how the two of them were able to see past what others thought about the other. Each took the time to get to know the other and there was a real connection there. I would say my favorite favorite two parts of the book are when Mase stands up for his feelings for Fiona to Bexley and when Fiona goes home to meet his family. You can see they really are in love.
Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing for this ARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
