Review: My Almost Ex - Book #2 The Greene Family Series - Piper Rayne - April 2021 Staring at my overflowing bookshelf the other day, I felt that familiar paralysis of choice. Too many books, too little time – a problem entirely of my own making. But when my eyes landed on Piper Rayne's My Almost Ex , the decision was easy. I've never met a Piper Rayne book I didn't love, and her family sagas are particularly addictive. The promise of a big family means more books in the series – always a win in my book! What immediately drew me in was the amnesia trope, one of my absolute favorites in romance. There's something irresistible about characters rediscovering their love story, and Rayne delivers this beautifully. The story opens with Lucy Greene walking into a bar, expecting to see her husband Adam, only to be met with shocked faces. For Adam, this is devastating – Lucy walked out a year ago without explanation, and he's trying to move on with someone new. But Lucy ha...

Review: Countdown to a Kiss - Book #0.5 Hockey Hotties Series - Piper Rayne - April 2021 One of my favorite authors has a new series out and whenever she releases something, I know I will love it. I also love the fact that she writes these prequels to the series as it gives the readers a bit more background to the series and by the time, the actual book comes around - you already feel like you know the characters and can't wait to read their love stories. In Countdown to a Kiss it's New Year's Eve and for three Hockey players - Aiden, Ford, and Maskim - they are hanging out at a party that their owner of the squad is hosting.  This book sets the setting for the three books to come in this series. We have Aiden who will be first, he is currently on a bit of an unlucky streak but an unattainable woman might be the one to change that, Ford who is a party boy and is on his last straw as his father wants him to clean up his act and return home - he has sent his family's l...

Review: My Twist of Fortune - Book #0.5 The Greene Family - Piper Rayne - February 2021 One of my favourite family saga authors is the duo known as Piper Rayne. The other thing that I love with their books and different series is they often have a connection to a previous series by her and some of the characters /place’s crossover and work as a great lead-in to a new series. For the Greene Family, this series spins-off from another family - The Baileys. Remember Dori Bailey's best friend Ethel Greene? This is her family, like Dori - Ethel is the Matriarch of the Greene family. Years ago, Marla went to high school in the town and was best friends with two cousins Jeff and Hank Greene. She really should have married Hank but ended up marrying Jeff and moving away to Arizona where Jeff became successful and rich. Unfortunately, though with this came Jeff's many affairs and the last one was the final straw for Marla. She has moved her and her four kids back home to her parent's...

Review: Operation Bailey Babies - Book #6.5 The Bailey Family Series - Piper Rayne - April 2020 One of my favorite families to read is The Bailey Family saga by Piper Rayne, at the end of Phoenix's book we learned that Holly, Brooklyn, and Savannah were all pregnant and turns out are due around the same time. The town has bets on who will come first and each female is taking their pregnancy slightly different. We have Holly and Austin who can't decide on a name and if they aren't fast enough on deciding - their baby might be known just as Baby Bailey for the first week. Brooklyn and Wyatt are having a cute baby boy and the pregnancy is doing Wyatt's head in as Brooklyn pregnant isn't a pretty sight her hormones have turned her into a nasty piece of work and very short-tempered. Will she be like this when the baby is born or will she mellow out? Savannah, on the other hand, has turned into a lovely woman - the pregnancy happens to be making her...

Review: Confessions of a Naughty Nanny - Book #6 The Baileys - Piper Rayne - January 2020 With the new book just being released Operation Bailey Babies, I figured as I was a couple of books behind that I better get back into reading Piper Rayne's series The Baileys.
