REVIEW

Oh my. Somehow 9 books and 3 novellas in, and I’m still not ready to let go of this series! I absolutely love all of the Baileys so much and this series has been a true pleasure to read! The deeper you get into this series, the more you grow to love them all, and at this point I really do feel like a part of their family at this point...so I'm definitely sad to not have any "Bailey" stories after this, but luckily Piper and Rayne have already hinted at future cameos in their upcoming series, The Green Family, which happens to take place one town over from Lake Starlight in Sunrise Bay featuring Grandma Dori's bestie, Ethel's family. :) 

 

 Okay, now that I've let out that little bit of sadness, let's talk about this novella! First, I loved that with this novella we get to see a glimpse into the future for all of the Baileys! I especially loved that it centred around our beloved Grandma Dori...she definitely deserves to be celebrated and surrounded by all of her loved ones! It was so neat to see the kids getting older, and so many of them are so grown up now!!! It honestly went too quickly for me, and I could've read way more, but I still really enjoyed getting a peek at all of the kids' lives and seeing their parents' from their POVs...which was just as hilarious as expected! haha

 

Overall, I thought that OPERATION BAILEY BIRTHDAY was short, sweet, and the perfect treat for any fan of The Baileys series! While the series has come to a close, I'm hoping that we’ll be seeing lots and lots of cameos and glimpses into their lives through the upcoming The Greene Family series...fingers crossed that we get some cameos in every book! haha I also wouldn’t be opposed to a spin-off series for the great grandkids. ;) If you're a fan of this series already, you definitely don't want to miss this one, and if you haven't started The Baileys series yet, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves small town contemporary romances! I have to admit that it's been a very long time since I've committed to a long series, but I did it easily with The Baileys because I genuinely couldn't wait for each book and every single one of them was such a delight to read!

Star Rating:

★★★★★

Anyone else a diehard fan of The Baileys series and is sad to see it come to an end?

[Blog Tour Review] RULES FOR DATING YOUR EX (The Baileys #9) by Piper Rayne

---

Source: Received an egalley to give an honest review.

Also purchased Kindle copy on Amazon CA.
Release Date: September 1, 2020
Number of Pages: 301 (ebook)

DESCRIPTION

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 can't believe we're already on Rules for Dating Your Ex, the ninth and final full length book in The Baileys series...it's been an amazing ride, and I've loved all of these books so much!!! I've truly loved seeing all of the Bailey siblings find love, and I've really loved seeing how their family has grown and changed throughout the books. Sedona and Jamison are actually the couple that we've seen snippets of right from the start and their second chance romance has been building for a while now...and it was so worth the wait!  

Rules for Dating Your Ex would definitely work as a standalone, but I did love knowing the characters already from the previous books in this series. In fact, I loved that we've gotten to see Sedona and Jamison in the early books, and that we've had seen a bit of where they were at throughout the past books. It made it so much sweeter to get their actual story, and I'm so happy with what Piper and Rayne put together. It was so fantastic to see even deeper into their past, and to see them get closer and overcome what tore them apart. Jamison has grown so much since Sedona walked away from him, and it was so lovely to see the two of them come together for their daughter.

Overall, I thought that Rules for Dating Your Ex was wonderful! While I'm sad that this series is drawing to a close, I've loved it every step of the way! I also love that while this wraps the last full length story in The Baileys series (there's a novella coming in the next little while though in case you hadn't heard yet :D), we're still going to get to see bits of Lake Starlight when Piper and Rayne release books in their upcoming planned series, The Greene Family, which takes place in Alaska in Sunrise Bay...one town over from Lake Starlight! It's such a relief that we still may get to see some of our favourite Alaskans in cameos in future books! If you love romantic comedies that are sweet, sexy, and super heartwarming, but haven't started The Baileys series yet, then I highly recommend you check it out! Whether you start right from the start, or dip in-and-out based on your favourite tropes, I think you'll absolutely love it! :)

[Blog Tour Review] WINNING MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL (The Baileys, #8) by Piper Rayne

---

Source: Received an egalley to give an honest review.

Also purchased Kindle copy on Amazon CA.
Release Date: July 21, 2020
Number of Pages: 301 (ebook)

DESCRIPTION

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

It's hard to believe that we've reached book 8 in The Baileys series, but it sure has been a blast! This is one of those series that just gets better and better! I love that we get to know a bit about the siblings before their story takes place, and I really love that we get to see them after their story is finished when the rest of their siblings get their happily ever afters, too! We've had little sneak peeks at Kingston and Stella in the last couple of books, and I've been so, so excited to finally get their story...and it was totally worth the wait! 

I'm gonna do my best to not spoil anything, but I do want to share that there is absolutely no cheating in Winning My Best Friend's Girl...I know that's a hot button issue for quite a few romance readers, so just in case you were worried, please don't be. :) 

Now that's out of the way! Boy, oh boy! This was an emotional read! There was some definite drama in Stella and Kingston’s past, but it was absolutely amazing to see them work through it all...and it made it that much sweeter to see them get their HEA! Their chemistry was so intense, and I loved that because of their history (just like Colton in the previous book), it was like Stella was already part of and deeply embedded in the Bailey family! I loved how Grandma Dori doted on her! I also loved seeing the connection between Stella and Kingston...and it was so wonderful to see them reconnect! 

Overall, I loved Winning My Best Friend's Girl! It was sweet, sexy, and a wonderful second-chance romance! I love all of the couples in this series, and I absolutely adore that because the Bailey family is so close that we get to see so much of the past couples in these books! They’re such a wonderful family and I’m starting to get sad that we just have one book and novella left in the series...I'm so not ready to let go of this family or Lake Starlight yet though...but I'm still so excited for Sedona’s book though! I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the most dramatic yet! As for this particular book, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves romantic comedies, small town romances, interracial romances, and second chance romances! It could be read as a standalone, but I also love this entire series so much and highly recommend you read them all if you love rom-coms that are sexy and full of heart!

Star Rating: ★★★★★

[Release Day] WINNING MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL (The Baileys, #8) by Piper Rayne

---

It's hard to believe, but we're already onto book 8 of Piper and Rayne's The Baileys series! Today's the release day for Winning My Best Friend's Girl, Kingston and Stella's book!

With the last few books in the series: Secrets of the World's Worst Matchmaker, Winning My Best Friend's Girl, and Rules for Dating Your Ex (the 9th and final book in the series), we're getting a lot of history with the couples as they've got a lot more history than the earlier couples in the series (except for Savannah and Liam :P). It's interesting to get to see snippets of their pasts though, and I love that we're getting to see little peeks in the Baileys' lives when they were younger!

So, as I was saying today's the release day for Winning My Best Friend's Girl! If you're a fan of second chance romances,biracial romances, and romances with characters who've been in love for years finally getting their HEA...then this is the book for you!

DESCRIPTION

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 #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

For someone who doesn't typically gravitate towards friends-to-lovers romances, I have read a bunch of them lately, and I've been loving them all, but I have to say that SECRETS OF THE WORLD'S WORST MATCHMAKER has been my favourite! It's been on my radar for a while, and I've been so excited for it!!! :D

I absolutely LOVE this series so much! It's my favourite of Piper Rayne's so far, and I have loved getting to see so much of the Bailey siblings! Each book honestly just makes me love this series more and more. I've been eagerly waiting for Juno and Colton's book since we've been seeing little pieces of the two of them pining after each other for ages...and I have to say that I thought it was completely worth the wait!

I love how we've seen how close Juno and Colton are in the other books, and that Piper and Rayne showed us some amazing little flashbacks throughout this book that really added to the whole friends-to-lovers aspect of the story. I love that they've been friends for so long, that they've relied on each other, supported each other, and just genuinely always been there for each other for years. They've pushed the boundaries of their friendship more than once, but their love for each other (both outwardly as friends...and secretly in a romantic sense), is so strong and it was so wonderful to see! I loved these two so, so much! :D

Overall, I thought that SECRETS OF THE WORLD'S WORST MATCHAMKER was fantastic!

It was definitely dramatic and had some seriously angsty parts, but I loved finally getting to see what Juno and Colton both thought about their relationship...and about each other! And I really, really loved seeing their relationship evolve! They were adorable and so fantastic together! I also loved how Colton has been a part of the Bailey family for years. I loved seeing both Juno and Colton finally express themselves...and I loved how deeply they already knew one another! I don't think I've ever fully felt a deeper friendship in a friends-to-lovers romance before now. I could genuinely picture Juno and Colton being besties when they were in Elementary school...and I really loved that. It was so sweet! If you love friends-to-lovers, I think you'll definitely love this one...and even if it isn't your go-to romance trope, trust me...this one is worth trying!!! I love, love, loved it!

Star Rating: ★★★★★
