I love how we got everyone's POV's, not just the mommas. A quick little story to get your ready for Juno & Colton in Secrets of the World's Worst Matchmaker.
Series notes: I definitely suggest reading the whole series in order because all siblings are heavily involved in each book, so you'll get spoilers especially with this one and the nature of the story.
Narration notes: Not thrilled that the same narrators are doing the whole series since I'm bingeing it. She does fine. He does fine for his regular voice, but all of this other voices are not great, not even the men.
Operation Bailey Babies was a novella within the Bailey series by the authors Piper Rayne.
Savannah, Holly and Brooklyn are all pregnant and close to their delivery dates. The story was a quick journey on how the families were all coping. It was told from multiple points of view - every Bailey, significant other and even the children. It was quite the whirl wind. It was also hilarious and cute with a mixture of sweetness and mystery.
In the end, it was a quick and fun read. It was a great update as well as the perfect segue into Juno’s story next in The Secrets of the Worlds Worst Matchmaker. Bring it on!
You couldn’t ask for more from a novella, especially one that has a theme! Reading a babies story within a sibling/family series is like the best kind of *happy place* there is because you’re getting a revisit and a catch up of the couples you’ve fallen in love with and I have fallen hard for the Baileys! I can’t believe it’s only been a little over a year since the journey of The Baileys began. I feel they have been a part of my reading heart for a long time!
A spectacular look at how our Baileys are doing and a little hint of what’s to come! I am in love with Piper Rayne and this family! I hope we get to read about them forever!
The race is on to see which Bailey baby will be born first and as always it's been closely monitored by Buzz Wheel and bet on by the entire town.
And as expected this was all things sugar and spice. I was so glad to catch up with all the existing couples and get a few teasers for the last three single Bailey siblings.
This whole series has been everything I have come to expect from the beautiful Piper and Rayne. And I really can't wait to see what's going to happen with Juno in the next book.
This novella is so cute, it gives us a glimpse of their life now that Holly, Brooklyn, and Savannah are are pregnant. Their love interests — Austin, Wyatt, and Liam, respectively — are seen doting on them and being so sweet as always.
Ofcourse, the rest of the Baileys including Grandma Dori is here too and they have a lot of fun family moments. Everytime I read a book with the Baileys, it actually feels like coming home (granted, I spent 6 books + 2 novellas with them already). I am looking forward to the remaining books in this series!
This is a series that I can never get enough of. I always get a sense of comfort when reading about the Bailey gang and friends.
This novella takes you in the birthing experience of the three lovely woman currently pregnant in the Bailey family. Holly after trying so long and hard to get pregnant finally has her precious little bundle. Brooklyn was the complete opposite of her personality, during her pregnancy, and had a short fuse. Savannah was a total shocker to the people around her. There's betting pools going to see who is going to be the first Bailey/Kelly/Whitmore to pop.
I loved getting POV chapters from all the Bailey siblings. There is so much going on and so much more that we have to find out. I'm getting antsy waiting for Juno's book. Especially after the going ons in this book! This family is a hoot and I love them!
Having read all the Bailey books to date, I was excited to hear we were getting a baby Bailey novella. Operation Bailey Babies by Piper Rayne is everything I was hoping for and more!
As soon as the novella landed on my kindle I jumped right in, from the first few pages I was hooked, I loved every minute I spent with all the characters, siblings, couples and friends ;) There's a few teaser's thrown in which only heightened my interest for the remaining single siblings and by the end I found myself shedding a few happy tears.
As readers we all have our fav authors/series, for me The Baileys series by Piper Rayne has a very special place in my heart, each sibling/couple has touched me with their story and left me full of happy feels.
Are you ready for babies, drama, laughs and hints..... hints forthe last 3 Bailey siblings?? Believe me when I say you absolutely want to read this Bailey novella!! Not only do you get an incredible story but you got POV's from the whole gang which will have you smiling, laughing and on pins and needles for the next book. Prepare for some jaw-dropping moments in one heartwarming story!
Tja, auch diese Kurzgeschichte war wieder so gut und trotzdem ist das dieses Gefühl, dass es bald zu Ende ist und ich will das nicht. Ich liebe die Baileys und ihr chaotisches Kinderkriegen. Es ist so schön auch die Geschichten zwischen den Büchern zu lesen. 5 Sterne
Female narrator was awful and almost ruined the story. She sounded as if she laughed throughout the narration. Too bad as the story was wonderful. The male narrator was good.
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 nicer. The thing though is Savannah can't wait for the Baby to be out and for life to return to normal. I also liked the twist with Harley too and poor Calista :(, Rome and Harley are baby-making machines and I think they might be the one to have a second-generation big Bailey Family. We also have Juno in a mood as we discover in the next book that the one guy she loves is now engaged? Will it is too late for Juno to finally get her HEA or will she get the guts to tell Colton how she feels? We also saw the engagement in Operation Bailey Babies of one of the remaining Bailey Family members. Operation Bailey Babies was a quick feel-good read that was jampacked with Bailey goodness and happy memories and a sneak peek of what's to come in later books.
,Operation Bailey Babies' ist die zweite von drei Novellen des Bailey-Universums und hat 4/5 Sterne von mir bekommen.
Vielen Dank an NetGalley für die Bereitstellung des Rezensionsexemplars!
Nachdem ich vor ein paar Tagen die erste Novelle der Bailey's beendet hatte, konnte ich es kaum erwarten zu der nächsten Kurzgeschichte zu springen. And here we are:) Ihr könnte damit rechnen, das wenn irgendwo in einer Romance-Geschichte Babys vorkommen, Count me in! Besonders wenn es sich bei den Eltern um Charaktere handeln, die ich lieb gewonnen habe. Wenn man die Bailey-Familie beschreiben müsste, würde ich sie als chaotisch, groß aber vor allem liebevoll beschreiben. I just love them so much. Jedes Familienmitglied ist einfach so einzigartig und sticht mit irgendeiner Eigenschaft heraus, sodass man nur interessiert bleiben kann.
Overall hat sich diese Kurzgeschichte wie eine kurzweilige, aber warme Umarmung angefühlt. Und ich bin froh ein weiteres kleines Abenteuer der Bailey's gelesen zu haben. Ihr wisst gar nicht wie groß meine Hoffnung ist, das die Kinder der neun Geschwister eigene Bücher bekommen werden! So groß ist meine Liebe für diese Familie. Falls ihr die Bailey's noch nicht kennt, worauf wartet ihr noch?
Ah, here we are back in Lake Starlight, and the highlight of the story? Babies! Babies, babies, babies. Three of them, to be exact. Holly, Savannah, and Brooklynn ended the last book, Confessions of a Naughty Nanny, having just found out they were pregnant. Now, several months later, they are within weeks of delivery, and chaos abounds. There’s laughter, a belligerent six-year-old, a sweet proposal and labor in boatloads between these fast-paced, cute and endearing pages. And let’s not forget about the tidbit that Piper Rayne has sprinkled throughout the story giving little hints about the last three books, which will be with us in the near future. Join the gang as they celebrate with a baby shower to end all baby showers. It’ll leave you with the biggest smile and a huge AWWWW to finish up.
In der zweiten Novella zur beliebten Baileys-Reihe erwartet die beliebteste Familie Lake Starlights Nachwuchs – und das gleich dreimal!
Holly & Austin sollen nach dem vielen Hoffen, Bangen und einer anstrengenden, nervenaufreibenden Prozedur endlich belohnt werden. Doch, wie das bei den Baileys so ist, nichts geht ohne die Familie. Und so finden sich plötzlich Savannah als auch Brooklyn im Kreissaal wieder. Bei den Baileys läuft halt immer alles etwas chaotischer, dafür mit ganz viel Herzlichkeit ab. So auch das Kinderkriegen.
Zeitlich würde sich diese Kurzgeschichte nach dem 6. Band, also nach Phoenix' Geschichte, eingliedern. Doch auch im Anschluss an die Reihe, war es ein schöner Einblick in die Geschehnisse, und eine putzige Ergänzung.
Operation Bailey Babies by Piper Rayne is the perfect companion novella to the Bailey series. With three babies about to be born, we catch up with each of the parents to be and there are quite a few surprises as well.
I loved seeing how each couple handled their pregnancy, how the moms to be were feeling, how the rest of the family was dealing with the impending births, and other ups and downs in life. I won’t give anything away, but pay close attention to the baby names, the Bailey’s who are not giving birth in this book, and of course who was first to deliver or more important who was not first to deliver.
This was the perfect thing to hold me over until Juno’s story! I loved catching up with my favorite Bailey couples (hello, Liam and Savannah!) and loved how it set up Juno and Colton’s story even more. Being 34 weeks pregnant, I could also relate to Holly, Brooklyn, and Savannah so that was a fun bonus!
If you haven’t read the books in this series you are missing out. If you have, I definitely recommend this one!
Absolutely loved this novella!!!! So good to see some of my favourite Bailey couples having babies, and to get to see what everyone else is up to and sneak a peek at where the last three Bailey siblings’ stories are headed!!! I love this series so, so much. It’s my favourite out of all of Piper and Rayne’s books and I cannot praise it enough! Each of the books have been fabulous and have been wonderful all on their own, but when you combine them they’re even better—I just love this family so much, too! Highly recommend this series to all romance readers who love companion series where the stories are funny, sweet, sexy, and full of heart! 💖
I don’t care what anyone says… The Bailey family is the best! I need the rest of the series… And I also need a spin off. Dear Piper & Rayne, Please make that happen. Kthanksbyeeeee
Absolutely loved the chaos that is the Bailey babies. So many surprises and so much going on. You can't think straight. And then BAM, we have Bailey babies. Such a fun read.
Bailey babies are a comin! Holly, Brooklyn and Savannah and their men are waiting expectantly for their babies to pop and the reader gets to see the leadup at a baby shower, and the aftermath after the births. Grandma Dori's there for everything, and the whole family rallies around them.
If you've been reading (and loving) this series like I have been, then you definitely need to read this sweet novella. It's a great way to bring the separate story lines together plus it leads into the next story, best friends Colton and Juno in Secrets of the World's Worst Matchmaker.

Review Operation Bailey Babies (The Baileys #6.5) by Piper Rayne
It was so great to be back with the Bailey family, to me it’s like coming home. I have truly become invested in their lives (yes I know they are fictional). Piper Rayne write strong characters that are so easy to relate to and they are not afraid to show them in all their flawed glory, it makes the stories that much more realistic.
Although a novella, it was with a happy smile that I dove in to Operation Bailey Babies. It was great catching up on all the couples as Holly, Savannah and Brooklyn get ready to add to the clan. As I expected there were laughs, some drama and a whole lot of love as the family prepare for the next generation of Bailey’s; it was everything that I hoped for and so much more.
Going in to a Piper Rayne book, you know that there is going to be humour, that’s a given, but this book had so much that at times I wanted to cry. It also had several poignant and vulnerable moments that got to me. I love how the Bailey Clan are all in one another’s business, always ready to offer unconditional love, support and acceptance.
I was hooked from the first to the last chapter and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
Having read all the Bailey books to date and being slightly obsessed (!) with the Bailey clan, I was so ecstatic that we would be getting a baby Bailey novella. And I’m happy to say that Operation Bailey Babies is everything I was wanting and hoping for and so much more! This series by Piper Rayne holds a special place in my heart, and each sibling’s story has left me full of happy feels.
This novella was so unique and fun to read; written in the perspectives from all Baileys was fantastic. I loved reading how each couple was coping with their arrivals and also what was going on with the rest of the siblings. As ever, there were laughs, some drama, poignant moments and a whole lot of love as the family prepares for the next generation of Bailey’s.
Operation Bailey Babies is a beautifully written, heartfelt read and a wonderful addition to the Bailey series. This family is such a favourite and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next release.
"This eternal happiness and love for someone I just met makes what se share even sweeter."
I thank God for Piper Rayne. After all, just a book like this to get my head out of all this madness that quarantine has brought to our lives.
As always a delicious book. With a multiple narration, the authors deliver a funny and tender story, where reading the point of view and feelings of different characters puts the reader right in the middle of all the wonderful madness that is the life of the Baileys.
The most unexpected situations, with that perfect touch of humor and lots of cute scenes. Some facts that raise uncertainties that further sharpen our curiosity for the upcoming books.
The only certainty we have at the end of the book is: If you need good company to endure the quarantine, just call the Bailey family.
The Bailey’s and babies! This is the perfect little novella for any one who has been following the Bailey family since day one! It is also perfect to hold you over until the next release in the series.
Three Bailey’s are pregnant at the same time (Holly, Brooklyn and Savannah) and of course, the town is involved and there are many bets on who is going to be the first. This story was sweet, hilarious and everything I could have expected out of my favorite Alaskan family.
I loved getting everyone’s point of views throughout. Especially the three women expecting along with their men. It is so easy to feel so at home with this family and feeling like you were a part of the joint baby shower.
Operation Bailey Babies is the perfect escape and a MUST READ for any Bailey family fans!
Baby! Baby! Baby! The Bailey clan has just expanded by three! Savannah, Holly and Brooklyn are each about to deliver their first born. You’ll be feeling all the live with this sweet novella.
Catch up with our favorite couples and share in the ultimate happiness as they each welcome a new bundle of joy.
As always, when the Bailey’s come together, you’ll get unending love, a bit if drama and some friendly competition. We’ll be given a few little bread crumbs that will leave you wondering about the last few remaining singles in the family and wanting the next love story.
This family is a favorite. I look forward to each and every new release and continuing on this journey with this special family.
A baby novella of my favorite book family?! You know I am all over this! It is no secret how much I love the Bailey clan! Seriously top 5 favorite family series! They are loving, funny, wild and crazy. The best to read.
When we find out that there are going to be 3 Bailey babies all born around the same time, it was so crazy!! What are the odds of that but that’s the Bailey’s!
I loved how everyone was taking bets on who was gonna deliver first. And while reading you got the POV of everyone in the family and not the the parents to be.
Once again Piper Rayne has done it. Such a great novella!
5️⃣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the love factor cuz there is no need for any steam in this one! 💯recommendation
Oh my what a chaotic bunch, but I love it all just the same. The Bailey's have wormed their way into my heart and I feel like part of the population in small town Alaska when I am reading them.
This little novella was so fun to read. Reconnecting with everyone from the previous books. The baby shower of all baby showers. The family is growing in leaps and bounds. Hearing everyone's versions of what life has been like with all these pregnant ladies.
A little insight about what is next to come for those siblings who haven't gotten their books yet. Just enough to have us waiting impatiently for the next one to come.
Lots of love, laughs, craziness and emotions to keep you smiling while you wait for the next book.

I haven't read any other books in this series, but I enjoyed The Rooftop Crew books so much that I wanted to give this a try; and I'm glad I did! This novella was just what I needed: light, funny, and sweet. It's a good way to whet your appetite for the rest of the books in the series! I wouldn't say it ends with a cliffhanger, but it teases about the next book in the series, which, if I can finish all other books that went before this one, I'd definitely be reading!
Operation Bailey Babies is a contemporary romance written in multiple first-person POV's. It ends with multiple HEA's. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
