What a wonderful family get together. We get a peek into what’s happening with the established couples and the Easter eggs that Piper & Rayne left give us a taste of what’s yet to come. Grab a cold one and pull up a chair because you’re not going to want to miss this Summer Bash!

Oh, and if you really want to loose yourself in the family fun listen to the audiobook because Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a phenomenal job with bringing them to life.

Happy Reading!!!

These novella’s are something that Piper Rayne do to perfection. They get us invested in these large family / small town series and they write awesome easy to read books that hook us. Then they write these little novellas that give us a few easter eggs to the upcoming books and a little more insight into our previous couples and just make us salivate for the next book to see if our guesses are correct.

They also throw in some serious series spoilers that make us want to squeal about the new discoveries. And now we have to wait. And I hate wait. But then I know the next book is going to be great especially with the new info we just got. Thankfully these lovely ladies pump these books out pretty quick, so we are going to get it soon.

This gorgeous novella is the perfect addition to this series...a fun, sweet, swoony, laugh out loud romance that made my heart soar with all the good feels and left me loving this crew of people even more by the time it was over. I loved getting a glimpse of what's going on with the couples I already love, and a great sneak at what's coming up next for the other beloved Greene family members! A Greene Family Summer Bash was delightful and a absolute treat!

This novella is a spectacular look at how the Greene’s are doing and a little hint of what’s to come! I am in love with Piper Rayne and this family. This whole series has been everything I have come to expect from the Piper Rayne. And I really can't wait to see what's going to happen with Jed in the next book!

I love the little novellas Piper Raynes gives us for their series. Not only are they the perfect bite sized snack to tide me over until the next book but they are also a beautiful way to capture the essence of what makes the Greene family (and their other series) so endearing and entertaining- the commitment to the ENSEMBLE. This big beautiful family, their unique and charming little town, and all of the charming (and quirky) ways these characters love each other.

The Greene Family and the whole Sunrise Bay world has stolen my heart- and this novella comes as the perfect time now that we’ve gotten to know the characters better in the last few books. As we get to catch up with all the Greene brood at a family party, Piper Rayne treats us to the right dash of heart and heat as we check-in with new couples and some yet-to-come couples. And, of course, we have that characteristic Piper Ryane family meddling and appearances by my favorite pair of outlandish and scene stealing octogenarians. I just live for them!

This is short and sweet and meant as nice teaser, so just dive in and enjoy it knowing that this is just a little something to make you even hungrier for what’s to come. I know I’m chomping at the bit to pull up a chair and join right in with this crazy family- can’t wait for more Greene family fun to come!

If you haven't started reading the Greene Family series, why not? This family is full of heart, love and all about family that you can't help but fall in love with their story!! This summer bash was fun, hilarious and the banter kept a smile on my face from the first chapter to the last. This was a quick read with POV's from all the Greene Family and a few surprise guests along with fun nuggets of what's to come dropped in throughout this book and I'm so excited for the next book in this series!! Are you ready for more Greene Family shenanigans???

This is a delightful, cute, swoony & laugh-out-loud addition to the series as we catch up with our beloved Greene's shenanigans, & get teases for future books! I DEVOURED this in around 1hr.

I'm having so much fun with this series by Piper Rayne! Catching up with everyone on Greene's annual Summer Bash is heartwarming. Especially, we get so many povs! Different each chapter, I loved it, some surprise ones too! This family all under a roof makes me so happy, plus I love their talks 😁.

I'm kinda late at reading this, so already know the next two books are Jed's & Fisher's, but it was lovely getting a glimpse of them with their soon to be wives 😏. I swooned seeing Marla+Hank, Cade+Presley, Adam+Lucy, Nikki+Logan & what they're upto! I have inklings whose the future books could be, but let's see 😉.

It's ironic I'm reading summer story in winter 🤣. But atleast I won't have to wait to read Jed's book, I'm so excited!
P.s. Will Cade+Presley's marriage get a book?! It'll be hilarious 😍.

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 three 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 afternoon, and really enjoyed visiting the Greene’s during their annual Summer Bash. It felt like catching up with friends and has only piqued my interest with this family even more. I can’t wait for Jed’s book next!

with this series, i’ve jumped around quite a bit, not reading all the books in chronological order so when i read a greene family summer bash, i was a little confused with who was already married and who was single. but i really enjoyed this little novella because it allowed some speculations on which greene is going to be paired up with who. we all know about xavier and clara, rylan and callista, but not the rest. i’ve read gavin and nikki’s book already so i just need to start with jed and fisher before the rest of the books are published for the rest of the year.

This was such a fun little novella. I loved getting to see all of the Greene family and getting all the different POVs. That was a fun little treat. I loved catching up with character's stories we have already read and getting a little glimpse into those we haven't read yet. Little bread crumbs to leave us guessing as to what we might see in future Greene books. I can already tell that I am going to love Chevelle and I need her story stat.

Why can’t you be adopted by a fictional family? Honestly, it’s just not ok that that’s not a thing.

I would be a perfect addition to the Greene family. I’m hilarious, a master of wit and sarcasm, love my family with everything I am, and I’m from a small town so it would be a seamless transition.

This was an excellent Sunday morning read. As the Greene family prepares for their annual summer bash, we receive different points of view from the Greene kids, their spouses, the parents, some potential spouses, and a view from one of the famous meddling grandmas.

A short visit with the Greene family that’s brimming with everything there is to love about this series.

A bit of insight on what’s going on from previous couple’s, and bits of intrigue on what’s to come for the Greene siblings that are still single, although if the meddling grandma duo have anything to say about it, none of them will be single much longer.

It wasn’t all laughs though, my heartstrings were tugged and there may have been a bit of tightening in my chest.

A Greene Family Summer Bash is rife with witty banter, laughs, little indications as to what’s to come, a touch of steam, highly entertaining hijinks by the duo of meddling grandmas, a perfect mix for a laugh out loud feel good story.

I'm a fan of all things Piper and Rayne, but I love how for their longer family series, like The Baileys and The Greene Family, they give us novellas between the books so that we get a bit of an update on the couples from the previous books and that we also get a tease on what's going to happen next in the series! And I have to say that A GREENE FAMILY SUMMER BASH was the perfect little teaser between books and it has me even more excited for the rest of the Greene siblings’ books! I think at this point, I can pretty much figure out who the couple to-be are, and I’m so excited for them all!

I absolutely loved this novella! If you're a fan of this series already, I definitely recommend checking out this novella since it's so much fun, and full of some great little moments! If you haven't started this series yet, I recommend it to any readers who love contemporary romance with small town vibes, especially if you love stories that give you strong friendships, lovely family dynamics, and if you like your romances a lovely blend of sweet, sexy, and funny!

I really enjoyed A Greene Family Summer Bash by Piper Rayne.

The storyline is well written, entertaining, loved hearing from all the characters and I loved the family dynamics.

This was a fun read, we got to see how our previous couples are going, and we get a few teasers of what's to come for our future Greene siblings books.

A Greene Family Summer Bash is a great addition to the Greene Family series and I'm looking forward to reading more of this amazing family in the future.

A Greene Family Bash was a novella within the Greene family series by the authors Piper Rayne. It’s best read in order.

I completed the Greene Family series and realized I had accidentally missed this novella; however, it was still a worthy read in any order. As a point of reference, of the nine books and two novellas in the series, this should be read between books three and four.

All in all, it was a quick novella with updates to all the Greene’s thus far, teasers for all who aren’t currently paired and a segue into the next book. It was short, light hearted and fun.

5 Star Review A Greene Family Summer Bash (The Greene Family #3.5) by Piper Rayne

It was great to be back visiting the Greene family in Sunrise Bay, Alaska. This was a quick novella that has only wet my appetite for the next book in the series which will release later this year.

In this book we get brief glimpses into the families lives, catch up on what is happening and some Easter eggs are sprinkled throughout the book. The story was fast paced, witty and entertaining and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
The family is all up in one another's business as usual and everyone has an opinion which made for some fun and laughter. But beneath it all is a story of love and family and everyone’s willingness to do whatever they can for the family that they love and support.
Of course Ethel and Dori make an appearance at that led to some humorous moments.

So many fantastic nuggets in this Greene family novella! I love getting everyone together and their intersections are jammed packed with chemistry of new and potential couples, visits with couples from past books. Bringing everyone together is the perfect segway into the next batch of Greene family books. I, for one, can’t be more excited for what’s to come!!

I just love these cheeky novellas that Piper Rayne throw into their series. They keep you interested and keeps you wanting more. This novella gives you a peek in to what's to come in the future. What couples may get together in the future.

This book was fun filled and shows just what a great melded family the Greenes are. They welcome all into there home and family. But the one big clue that comes from this book is that Jed is set for more surprises and changes in his world.

This book is a huge recommend from me. Bring on My Sister's Flirty Friend.

Piper Rayne - you ladies sure know how to torment your readers in the best way possible. A Greene Family Summer Bash is a quick and delicious glimpse into one of our favorite families. Giving us an update on some of our favorite book couples and teasing us with future romance reads.

Never have I ever read a book as fast as I did this one and all I can say is - It whet my appetite for more. More Greene family shenanigans, more Greene family happily ever afters, more Greene family romance goodness.

Well done Piper & Rayne, well done!

A Greene Family Summer Bash is a Must Read Romance Companion to the Greene Family series. It gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy.

Oh how I love the Greene family. This is great!

Piper Rayne did an awesome job writing about the Greene family in this great summer bash book. It has ALL the characters including the grandma's.
It leads into new and future romances which has me absolutely tickled. It was hilarious reading more about friends who will become lovers and how they will change their tune when their time comes. Thank you ladies for allowing me to read the ARC. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this opportunity. Put this on your must read list and get in line for more of the Greene family. Enjoy!

This was just the perfect companion book to catch up with all the Greenes. Excited was not even the word when I got the email that the audio was here early. I sprinted to Audible to one-click this baby fast! And course Piper Rayne did not disappoint and gave me an amazing story! I loved the multiple POVs. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were true perfection in the way they embodied each and every character flawlessly. There were some hidden truths revealed and surprise announcements! This was just one of those feel-good books where you get more of the characters you love and I savored every minute I had with them! Piper Rayne left tasty bread crumbs for future stories to come and I am salivating! The happiness I felt about getting the audio early withered a bit when I saw that the next story isn’t due to release until November!! Whaaat!? Here’s to hoping that once again, the audio comes through early because I need that story like now!

Piper Rayne got me so obsessed with and so addicted to the Greene Family and Sunrise Bay that I was starving for my next hit. And this novella is full of goodies. So so many goodies. It was sweet. Endearing. Entertaining. Some sexy times. And I want more and more of this epic family.

You will get updates on old couples. Hints about coming new couples. And revealing the next Greene book! I am overjoyed! Excited. A tiny bit sad that it ended BUT looking at the positive side and waiting for the next book!

What’s not to love about catching up with the Geeene family and the residents of Sunrise, Alaska and this novella is the perfect way to catch up with what’s happening in this delightful town as well as getting a hint to what’s to come in the next book in The Greene Family Series.
As you would expect this is a fun, entertaining read that will take you away from all the trials and tribulations of the world we live in. This book is centred around a family party and that means everyone is there and that means meddling, everyone having an opinion, a few clashes of personalities but all of this adds to the fun and games. This is a quick read but it still packs a mighty punch, it’s riveting, it’s fun and it’s full of wonderful characters you can’t help loving. It wouldn’t be a visit to Alaska without Dori and Ethel making an appearance and as you would expect their antics had me snorting out loud so be warned “ no drinking while reading this book”
I’m excited for the next instalment in a series that has captivated my heart.

The Greene's is my new favorite disfunctional family!
This great novella sets the tone for the future books that will come in the future.
We will get to know the siblings who were merely cited in the previous books and of course there is funny scenes with our favorites grandmothers in Alaska.
The dynamic between the family is great, funny, witty and deep, the characters are endearing and relatable.
The duo Piper Rayne is expert is creating such adorable characters with such mature and emotional layers.
You will love and please read the books that are so great!

Are you reading the Greene Family Series? If not, GET ON IT. I love them all. They are a cool big, blended Alaskan family who all have intriguing story’s to tell.

In this book you get a taste of the entire family, Including the grandmas. Wink. They are hilarious. This story is one big tease on future storylines and upcoming books.

Best of all, its backdrop is summertime and all the fun, family times that brings.
I can see you now in the sand and sun, drink in hand, checking out this book. Happy Reading Everyone. XOXO

Every book makes my heart grow fonder for this family. They are charismatic and full of life even while they are each going through their own turmoils.

This novella had chapters from most of the Greene family members and gave us insight to what is going on and where it is headed for the upcoming books. Although this novella was short, it was full of information and teasers for what's to come. So looking forward to it!

I loved this look into more of the Greene Family! Honestly, there's not been a Piper Rayne book that I've not thoroughly enjoyed and while this doesn't have any sort of angst, it's still an entertaining read getting caught up with the family, and the hints and tidbits for the future books we're (im)patiently waiting on!

What’s not to love....??
I mean all those hints and teasers for what’s to come...!

If you want a bonus visit with this extended family and the chance to figure out some of the up coming titles, then this is a quick fun read that helps to do just that...
Looking forward to book 4 even more now!!
