A Greene Family Vacation by Piper Rayne {a review}


If you're like me, and have fallen head over heels with the Greene family, then you need to read this novella! A Greene Family Vacation has us catching up with the family while we wait for Xavier and Clara's story to be released. The family has packed their bags, and SOME of them are headed to Hawaii. There are a few people staying behind, and once you read the book, you'll understand.

Recapping this book is near impossible. There are so many people involved, and so many various storylines. I am almost positive that if I were to even attempt to recap this book that I would unintentionally provide spoilers.

Here's what I can say...we were provided a bit more information about the three upcoming stories. We see bits and pieces of Clara and Xavier's story being revealed, and that book is going to be explosive. There is so much pain and heartbreak involved, as well as a friendship that has been decimated. Right about now, Xavier is making me angry. Uh, that man.

Then there was a piece of information about Mandi's love interest thrown in. Which leads me to believe that another spin off is coming, and we will be headed to Graywall. This also goes hand in hand with another key player. Oh, and have you seen the cover for My Fake FianceƩ? LOVE.

Finally there is the storyline between Cam and Chevelle. Ooh, hello brother's best friend trope. I see you. I can't wait to read you. Hawaii was good to them both, and ooooooh there story is going to be steamy.

So while we learned those future book tidbits on vacation, we also caught up with the majority of the Greene family members who have had their happily ever afters. There is at least one secret being kept. My gut tells me there is more, and I was just too focused on the one. A re-read might be in order to see if I missed anything.

Honestly, for me, the only thing this vacation was missing was more chaos from the Grandmas. Ethel, Dori, and Midge bring the hilarious moments where ever they go, but they also push buttons. It is those moments that have me loving the story that much more. However their interactions weren't as grand as usual. So that was a bummer. I also found myself really frustrated with the Greene "kids". The way the Grandmas were "handled" irritated me. Just no. NO. Grrr Argh.

Speaking of those Grandmas...I would seriously read a book solely about them and their antics. Not only that, but origin stories. How they met their husbands, and that whole romance scene. I'm here for it. But that's just me, and my love of those 3 ladies.

I loved everything about this novella. If you enjoy The Greene Family series, then this is a must read for you. Come catch up with everyone, and find out what is going to happen in future books. It's completely worth it.

Now my pipe dream would be for the Baileys and the Greenes to have one large get together. We'd get to catch up with both families, and witness all that interaction. Maybe that will happen when Rylan and Calista finally get their story. We all know that story is coming at some point.

Thank you for taking the time to read my random thoughts about A Greene Family Vacation.

Happy Reading,
Laura
