YALL. When I tell you I cannot get enough of the Greene family. I am just utterly obsessed! I loved this book so much that after I finished the arc, I turned around and bought the audio and listened to it.
Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell do a spectacular job with the multi POV and were the cherry on top!
Piper Rayne delivered such a fantastically fun read that I did not want to put down!! I’m pretty sure I read/listened with the dopiest smile on my face and all the warm fuzzy feelings in my heart! I also laughed too many times to count, danced in glee at a surprise bomb drop, salivated at the delicious bread crumbs left and I even got hit with a bit of emotional feels. When I got to the end, I was left sitting on edge in crazy anticipation for the next book!! I can already feel it’s gonna be a doozy and there is no chill to be had on my end for it!

OH MY EVER LOVIN' HELL! I'm quite familiar with the brilliance of Piper Rayne, and there's not a book out there that I haven't laughed until all muscles in my stomach & sides hurt, but A Greene Family Vacation had new levels of hilarious antics. I mean think about it, if you've read any of this series, this family is outrageous especially my favorite grandmas, and in this round they all went to Hawaii so you just don't know the entertaining goodness you'll be in for until you experience it all by hitting those one click buttons. The blurb should be a big hint at what is waiting for you, and frankly in the chaotic world today, everyone needs this dynamic duo in their lives for a comedic break. I pray that I'll never know a world in which these two aren't writing because they're my go to (I'll never stop rereading any book released) when I need a serious pick me up! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I love these little interim novellas- the perfect little happy, feel good interludes that help us check-in mid series on all our favorite couples and also sets up the romance that’s yet to come. This novella is a bright little vacation- a little fun, a little steam, tons of feel-good family time with the Greenes, and just the right dash of foreshadowing.

Piper Rayne creates meaningful and memorable family ensemble dynamics so deftly - and this novellas are the perfect showcase of those dynamics. Here we get to play around a beachy vacation in Hawaii with their latest addictively lovable family, the Greenes. We get to not only admire the amazing romantic chemistry with couples we’ve grown to love, but we also get to see the family chemistry sparkle, the magic that is between this big ole crazy brood. And no Greene vacation would be complete without the hilarious antics of our favorite octogenarian grannies. Getting to see everyone settle into their HEA, bumps and all, makes for such a joyful reading escape. The perfect vacation before we give back into the love stories to come!

These novellas are so addicting! They are perfect to keep the story going and they definitely pique my interest in the fact that I get to find out what is happening currently in the Greene Family lives.

A vacation with none other than all of the family, plus friends, plus the grandmas, what more could you seriously ask for?! Was it all of them? Hmmm, I don’t quite remember.

I laughed out loud, I was so so so surprised and I just am chomping at the bit for the next three books to come out.

I think I loved Chevelle’s point of view the most. She is the sassiest of the Greene’s and her upcoming story is going to be the best I think. I may be biased. Mandi was kind of the dark horse because I hadn’t had any expectations on what might happen in her life and now I want to know….like yesterday. I wanted to find out yesterday what it will all entail. And the biggest, juiciest piece of meat that we were given was Xavier and Clara. We know their book is next of course, but I could never have imagined that it was going to cause me to be a little fearful for what could have severed their bond. And all that it will take to repair it.

Another aspect that I truly enjoy is getting to see what happens after the HEA for all the other couples. Though their official story is over…it truly isn’t in a Piper Rayne Universe and that is the most phenomenal thing about Piper Rayne. They give us more of the couples we have come to love. It warms my heart!

So in a nutshell. Bravo Piper Rayne! You gave me just enough to satisfy the itch to know more about the family, but you piqued my interest beyond a reasonable doubt that I will be clicking on the links to see if the books will magically release early. Ha ha ha. I wish.

It was funny, it was heart-warming, it was sizzling. All that I love and come to see in all of Piper Rayne’s books!

A Greene Family vacation was a novella within the Greene Family series by the authors Piper Rayne.

It was a quick update on all the Greene siblings and their families through a joint family vacation to Hawaii. It had all of the humor, good feels and life lessons we expect from the authors. It was also a preview for future stories for Mandi and Chevelle with a teaser cliff hanger for Xavier and Clara’s book which is up next, A Scorned Best Friend.

It is always so much fun to catch up with the Greene Family and this novella was no exception. We get a chance to visit with the couples we know and love and to see what the future may hold for the remaining single siblings. When you thrown in the hijinks of the grandmothers you never know what to expect except that it is certain to be humorous.

The banter and love not only between the couples but the siblings as well leaves you wanting more and I believe that Xavier’s and Clara’s story is one that you don’t want to miss. The narrators were a perfect choice as they brought the characters and the story to life.

cute, cute, cute

Lots of coming and going as most of the Greene family head for Hawaii. But it ends up being a comedy of errors with sunburns, Tooth Fairies, and cantankerous babies. Not to mention a couple more (maybe) couples being dangled in front of us.
I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.

Audio Review
I love catching up with the Greene family and their partners and going on vacation with them was always going to be a fun, entertaining listen but this novella was not only a great lusten it also left me excited for what’s to come from the family I love and Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a fantastic job bring this family to life. Let’s be honest what’s not to love about a family that insist on being in each other’s faces, who interfere in each other’s life’s but more importantly who love unconditionally and no visit to the Greene’s would be complete without catching up with the shenanigans of grandma’s Ethel and Dorrie. A vacation seems like the perfect way to get some insights into the couples we love and it certainly did the job. This book left me smiling like a Cheshire Cat, I giggled throughout as I imagined taking a trip with a number of small children and grandma’s Ethel and Dorrie.
I’m now so excited for what’s to come from Sunrise Bay , Alaska.
The narration was spot on and considering there are 17 characters in this quick listen that wasn’t an easy feat. Wonderful narration and a wonderful story that left me wanting more from the family I call friends.

A fun book in which we follow several members of the Greene family on their vacation in Hawaii!


So confession, I haven’t read any of the Greene family yet (as of the time writing this in May 25th), but this one just sounded way too much fun. Plus, I knew that if this Greene family was just like the Baileys family (which I should really get reading some more) it wouldn’t be too necessary to know every detail. HEAs are guaranteed. I don’t really mind getting spoilers if they are getting/had kids or not. I knew I may get confused on who was who and what was happening, but I knew that with Piper Rayne’s writing everything would be fine! And yes, it turned out fine and I found myself loving these characters so much.

Meet the Greene Family. It is time for a vacation but that begins with some bickering first on who is going. Dad and Mom can’t go. Another couple can’t go because they just had a baby. I just had a laugh at how chaotic this family was and how they decided who could come along. And then the vacation starts! With even more chaos and some frustrations at the airport (I found those airport peeps so rude, for reals, I get that you have rules but you don’t have to be such a stick in the mud about them). And then the vacation starts ! And the fun! From going to the beach/pool to drinking yummy drinks to entertaining the kids to grandmas who feel very young to finding a tooth fairy so their foster kid believes in it (yes, really and it was as funny as it sounds). I laughed, I swooned, I sniffled, I loved the bonds between the couples and seeing them have fun, or at least try in the midst of all the kids.

Also I hope that I am kind of like the grandmas when I am much much older, minus the very early to bed time thing, but other than that, they were so much fun and I loved how much sass they had.

I wished I could come with this family to Hawaii, to this island, man it sounds like heaven. Good drinks, a pool/beach, lovely rooms, beautiful sunsets.

I am not sure how I felt about the fake dating, I mean, Cam, I get it, you like her, but she is still free and can make her own decisions. If she wants to play around? Let her. She is a grown woman. Later on things did get better, but in the beginning I just wasn’t happy. I am a bit tired of men acting like this.

I loved how the ending/the last part was a build-up for the newest book: My Scorned Best Friend! First we get Clara and then we get Xavier’s POV. I am definitely curious about these two and what happened between them and if Xavier is able to fix things.

I also love the cover, it is so fun with the chairs in rainbow colour on the beach. I just want to sit there and relax. I can use that.

All in all, a fun novella and now I am very eager to get started on the series. I saw that the prequel book is free, so I will be getting that soon so I can read on how it all started and get more details on the characters we met in this book~

I loved these novellas in between the books. And this one also gives a glimpse of the next book in the series and it just made me want to read Xavier and Clara's story even more. And also Chevelle and Cam's. I can't wait!

A Fun quick read, and a Great way to catch up on the couples and get a taste of what's to come.

Have you ever traveled with a large group, if you have you know things don't go quite the way you hope they will. For one of the Greene's that is what happens when she is stuck rooming with the three grandmas...I love these ladies but I have to admit if I had to room with them I probably wouldn't be to happy about it either.

The fun starts before they even get to Hawaii, honestly this was such a fun read that will have you laughing out loud and wishing it was longer. Thankfully we don't have to wait too long before the next full length book is released because after what happened in this story I cannot wait to see what happens next.

If you have enjoyed any of the previous books in this series I would recommend this book to you because you see where each of the couples are now.

Happy Reading!!!

These little novellas from Piper Rayne which keep you invested in the series are such teasers, because all they do is leaving you wanting more. The Greene’s have had six happily ever afters so far, and Piper has been keeping it pretty tight lipped over who’s going to end up with who, but this book has only given more clues as to who the couples are going to be for the rest of the series. As it’s only a novella, I devoured this in an evening, and really enjoyed watching the antics of the Greene’s on their vacation in Hawaii, nothing changes when they leave Alaska, least of all the meddling grandmothers. It felt like catching up with friends and has only piqued my interest with this family even more. I have been desperate for the final three books in this series, as Piper gives you only a hint at who some of the remaining pairings maybe, but Xavier and Clara have been my most anticipated and I know that their book is going to break me, but will be well worth it in the end! I can’t wait to read it next.

I can not get enough of this group! The dynamic they share, the banter, the closeness and all the love was perfectly captured in this super sweet and fun novella. This is one family I count down for the next book, and am always instantly hooked! I love the fact we get to hear from almost all the family members in these novella-this is a way to catch up with previous couples and also lots of teasers and hints of what is to come next.

This one was a fantastic set-up for the the final three Greene siblings and their partners. I can not wait to see what surprises and twists they will bring.
Add in those epic moments of meddling and crazy fun Grandmas, what more can you ask for!

If you haven’t met the Greene’s yet, start with Cade and Presley in book 1 My Beautiful Neighbour.

For fans of Piper Rayne’s Greene Family series, A Green Family Vacation is a must read. I love these novellas between the series books as it lets the readers check in on the previous couples and give them insight into romances to come. A trip to Hawaii including 17 adults, three of which are the grandma gang, and five children, what could go wrong? Well nothing major, but there are some really interesting development in several areas.

It a slice of life look at couples who are in various stages of love and family, possible new connections, and of course the interplay into family dynamics which is never boring.

I have to say I think the next few books are going to be some of the best yet!

I love these novellas. I love that we get to see characters from the first books in their element as couples. we get little glimpses of where the stories might lead for characters who haven't gotten their HEA yet. The wit and banter between these family members is the beating heart of the story.

Such a fun adventure travelling with so many people and a bunch of young kids. As usual the crazy Grannies steal the show with their antics.

I can't wait for Clara and Xavier to find their way back to each out. Chevelle and Cam is going to be such a fun story and I think Mandi's story won't be far behind.

Who doesn’t love a little novella fill-in with all our favourite Greene family members!
I really enjoy these little teasers that set us up for the next three books in this family saga!
It’s also great to catch up with the previous book couples and their new normal together.
A fun quick read.

the chaos that comes with 17 adults and 5 kids, and that’s not even the full force of the greene family. there wasn’t much drama in this novella. it’s basically a set up for the future books, especially for mandi and noah, cam and chevelle, xavier and clara. looking forward!

Vacation...Really????

Good quick read with a treasure trove of each family & upcoming events and situations that will need to be dealt. Onto the next read Xavier & Clara & what the he'll happened between them that would have destroyed their best friend status. (Lin)

Huge mistake not reading this series in order. Only read the first 3 out of 8 books!

Way too many characters and I didn't know half of them.

So I will re-read this novella after I read a few more books in the series!

Great catchup with everyone! But these stories are starting to get repetitive. I’m beginning to think this duo needs to branch off with some different stories.

This family is a favorite for a reason. I love that this author duo always does these novellas in her series that brings back old characters and also gives glimpses of what is to come.

I'm very excited for the next book. Highly recommend this and the Bailey family series.

What's better than having all the Greene's together???(Maybe adding Bailey's along😜).
We get snippets of what's going on with each couple and what's to be expected in the coming books.

To be honest, I cannot wait to know what went down between Xavier and Clara and how they are gonna get together. And for Mandi, Chevelle's book.

Getting a dose of the Greene's filled me with anticipation and desperate in best possible way.

Thanks to Valentine promotions and Piper Ryane for the advanced copy for a honest review 😊.
