The Bailey’s – I Read Ergo Sum

Operation Bailey Birthday by Piper Rayne

5 STARS!

Release Date: November 17, 2020

𝐋𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐙𝐙 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄: Rumor around town is a certain matriarch of the Bailey family is having a 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘! It’s even spurred a few of the Bailey kids to return home to celebrate with their beloved great-grandmother, Dori. In fact, now that there are twenty-six Bailey great-grandchildren the event is going to be overflowing with laughter and love. Also… I heard that Piper & Rayne have been speaking to some of the kids (i.e. Calista, Maverick, Easton, Brinley and Palmer) and so we’re getting some special POV’s. I can’t wait to report my findings the day after the party

REVIEW: Seriously, THE BAILEY’S! I just love them so very much and it has been amazing to see them all grow and add to the family. What a way to end it, with the most hilarious Bailey of all, Grandma Dori. I freakin’ love her, and this was so much fun. She makes the party really. It was really cool to get the POV of the eldest Bailey child too. I think this was a great wrap up, and it definitely got me ready to move onto The Greene Family Series, aka Ethel’s family!

Thank you Piper Rayne and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Rules for Dating Your Ex by Piper Rayne

5 STARS!

Release Date: September 1, 2020

SYNOPSIS: If your ex arrives in your hometown eighteen months after you walked out on him while you were eight months pregnant, follow this short list of rules before you give him a second chance.
Rule #1 – Don’t stand in the way of your brothers who want to rough him up.
Rule #2 – Don’t meet him for coffee and agree to allow him to meet your daughter.
Rule #3 – Don’t drool when your daughter falls asleep on his chest for the first time. It’s just your ovaries talking.
Rule #4 – Don’t let him hold your hand. While we’re at it, no hugs, no kisses on the cheek… just no physical contact in general. That only leads to remembering better times.
The last one is the most important…
Rule #5 – When you find yourself needing someone’s help and you’re tired of always asking your family, don’t let him be the one who’s there for you.
Because all those good qualities of his will suck you right back in and you’ll have no chance of fighting your feelings, especially now that he’s ready to be a father to your daughter.

Review: I cannot believe this is the last Bailey’s book. It makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. Haha. First, let’s talk about how amazing Lake Starlight and all the Bailey’s are. they may just be my most favorite fictional family. The loss and connections they share are so endearing. It’s also wonderful to see each Bailey come into their own. And let’s not forget the star of the show, Grandma Dori. She is the matchmaking queen behind the scenes and such a little spitfire. I love how meddlesome she is, seriously always adding a good laugh or a put-them-in-their-place talk. She is an element throughout these books that makes them that much better.

Okay, let’s get to Sedona. Something I sincerely appreciated about Sedona is how on the DL she is. She’s dealt with some drama and hurt, yet she’s not there stealing the show of her other siblings. We barely know about her, or her situation, until we get to the end of book 8. And even when we finally see all that she’s been through, she quietly perseveres. At the same time, she isn’t a pushover and seems to know herself really well. I just appreciated how she stayed true to herself throughout this book.

Oh Jamie and his naiveté. He has so much potential, and I loved finally getting to know him after the tiny glimpses we’ve gotten throughout the books. Seeing him interact with his daughter is the sweetest too. I thought Piper Rayne did a good job of portraying his alcoholism and how it continues to impact him. I feel like he had a lot of growth while him and Sedona were apart, but he also does a lot during this story. One thing about Jamie and Sedona as a couple that I absolutely love is their trust in each other, even after everything. This is a couple that is really just meant to be.

Rules for Dating Your Ex was the perfect ending to The Bailey’s Series. I am so thankful to have been able to read and review these books for Piper Rayne through Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is one of my top romance series of all time and I would definitely recommend it!

Winning my Best Friend’s Girl by Piper Rayne

4.5 STARS!

Release Date: July 21, 2020

SYNOPSIS: Imagine lying in a hospital bed and the doctor who pulls the curtain back to treat you is the one who got away. Even if you never really had her in the first place. She’s not only your high school crush, she’s the ex-girlfriend of your ex-best friend. The one girl you’ve always wanted.

Here’s a step-by-step list to finally win her over…

Key to win #1: Try not to take offense that she snuck back into town without telling you—six months ago.

Key to win #2: Rekindle the friendship to ease the awkwardness. But… DO NOT enter the friend zone.

Key to win #3: Ignore the fact that she went speed dating the night before. Take it as good a sign—maybe she’s looking for a relationship.

Key to win #4: Attempt to keep the two of you out of the town gossip blog and away from your large family.

Make sure you don’t let this last one throw you off your mission.

Key to win #5: Don’t get deterred when you find out the past is about to repeat itself. Because the man she met at the speed dating night is your best buddy from work.

Just remember, you sat back and let her slip away once, you won’t do it a second time. Failure is not an option.

REVIEW: We see very little of Kingston throughout the Bailey books, except for some volatile moments with his best friend from high school. This is where we get a hint at Kingston’s love interest. We also hear about him smoke jumping, so he’s out of Lake Starlight most of the time. He’s just kind of a mystery, so it was really great to finally get to know him better in this story. Something I really loved about this story was how Austin and Holly interact with Kingston. It just speaks volumes to how amazing Austin was when he stepped into a parent role with Savannah to take care of their youngest siblings. That is the heart of these books that make them some of my favorites–The Bailey’s themselves. I love the family dynamics so very much.

Okay, on to Stella and Kingston. I’ve got to be honest, they weren’t my favorite of the Bailey stories leads, but that isn’t saying much, because I love them all so damn much. My issue was that they made everything so much harder for themselves than it needed to be. That being said, as I read and learned a lot of the reasoning, I understood why they were the way they were. Piper Rayne does a wonderful job of fleshing out the story and giving the character realistic depth. I also enjoyed Kingston and Stella’s interactions with the friends in the group and possible dating scenarios happening. What I did love is Kingston’s love for Stella. Even though he’s definitely not perfect, he always wants what’s best for her. That’s how you just know he’s a Bailey. It’s really heartwarming and makes their HEA so much better.

Now, if you read book 7, Secrets of the World’s Worst Matchmaker, you know that epilogue was a perfect way to get me dying for Sedona’s story. But then Piper Rayne had to do what they do best, and one up their own work, and make this epilogue even more outrageously awesome! I sincerely CANNOT wait for book 9, Rules for Dating Your Ex!!!! September 1st cannot come soon enough.

Thank you to Piper Rayne and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Secrets of the World’s Worst Matchmaker by Piper Rayne

5 STARS

Release Date: June 23, 2020

SYNOPSIS: Imagine you’re a matchmaker and you realize too late you’re in love with your childhood best friend. You only have yourself to blame—you’re the one who matched him and now he’s engaged to be married. When you find yourself in this position there’s a few secrets you’re going to need to keep…

Secret #1 – Smile when he tells you the happy news, even if your heart cracks in half.
Secret #2 – Don’t compare yourself to his beautiful French fiancée. You’re just as beautiful.
Secret #3 – Don’t tag along to the tux fitting with him alone. Just no.
Secret #4 – Don’t help him learn to dance to his wedding song.
Secret #5 – Erase all memories of the two of you through the years when lines blurred for even the briefest of moments.

And the one you never saw coming…

Secret #6 – Definitely, don’t stand and object—someone else might just do it for you.

REVIEW: Oh denial, you fickle friend. I think one of the best things about Juno and Colton is that we get to see them throughout the first 6 books. We get glimpses into their friendship and we get to see that everyone knows they’re meant to be together, except for them. I have been excited about their story for a while now, but was a little skeptical when it entailed Colton being engaged. I am not a fan of someone being engaged and in love with someone other than their fiancé, BUT here’s the thing, Piper Rayne NEVER disappoints. They handled this plot in way that could get around any of my doubts. Do I still think Colton is a idiot for getting engaged in the first place, OF COURSE, but it all helped the reader get to know more about his side of the friendship.

One of my favorite elements of The Bailey’s series is that each and every one of the Bailey siblings is dealing with the repercussions of their parents’ death and how that played out in their family during the aftermath. We also learn more about Juno’s insecurities when it comes to being a Bailey and a matchmaker. When we were exposed to her in other books, I didn’t feel like I got that glimpse into what makes her who she is. I loved seeing these two come together and how their insecurities, experiences, and personalities played into it. I think everyone will enjoy this one!

Now, I just need to simultaneously hug and yell at Piper Rayne. THAT ENDING. They always set us up for the coming books, and this one was a freakin’ mic drop! I’ve been looking forward to Kingston’s Book: Winning my Best Friend’s Girl, BUT now I just know Sedona’s book is going to wreck me in the BEST WAY. I seriously can’t wait for Rules for Dating Your Ex.

Confessions of a Naughty Nanny by Piper Rayne

5 STARS!

Release Date: January 7, 2019

SYNOPSIS

The Baileys are back with Phoenix & Griffin!

When a famous music producer moves to Lake Starlight it can’t just be a coincidence. It’s the universe helping to move things along in the right direction so that Griffin Thorne can discover me.

I have to confess—I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Confession #1: I may have overhead that he was in search of a nanny. What can I say? My brother has a big mouth.

Confession #2: It’s possible I helped along the assumption that I had nanny experience. Hey, babysitting my nieces and nephew counts, right?

Confession #3: There’s a good chance I oversold my qualifications. But my Grandma Dori backed me up, so it’s not completely my fault.

And it worked. He hired me. Only for me to find out that he left the business.
I guess it’s on to Plan B.

When he accidentally overhears me singing, I expect nothing from him. Then he asks to work with me on a song for our town’s Founder’s Day Parade and it feels like a dream come true. Until…

Confession #4: I’ve fallen for him.

REVIEW

THE DAMN BAILEY’S.

Seriously, how am I supposed to ever find a book family again?! The Bailey’s have stolen my heart and I’m not getting it back. Phoenix: “the black sheep” of the family. I have needed to know what her HEA would be for a while now, and Piper Rayne did NOT disappoint. I mean, we have an inspiring singer, who happens to become the nanny for a famous music producer with a difficult son. Griffin’s son, Maverick, transforms in such a heartwarming way! He really added so much to the story. This whole story gave me all the damn feels. I can’t say enough, no I really an’t, because I’ll spoil all the fun! Let’s just say I love this book as much as the five before it, and I would DEFINITELY recommend it.
