No one would have guessed a marriage could sprout from a one-night stand, but Holly Radcliffe and Austin Bailey appear to be written in the stars. From the backseat of Austin’s Jeep to the altar they come. The town of Lake Starlight along with the Bailey’s are prepping for the event of the year, but as usual things never go smoothly with these nine siblings and let’s not forget Grandma Dori! … Dori!
This is a novella in the Bailey series and should be read after Birth of a Baby Daddy, but does not need to be read in order to enjoy the series!

5+ Stars
Once again these authors have knocked it out of the park! I have loved every book in this series but being able to read about the wedding of the very first characters in the series was a real treat. Operation Bailey Wedding is a Novella so it was a quick read but the story was a fantastic read, that flowed perfectly. This story sucked me in from page one until the very end.
I loved how each character had a narrative, so you can get an insight into what is going on in The Bailey World. I have enjoyed every character in this series but Austin and Holly’s story is my favorite. I loved their chemistry and their love for family, whether they are blood family or not. I adore their personalities, there is so much humor and drama in the family. t
It can be read as a standalone. But I suggest reading from book one. It will give you more insight into the characters lives throughout the series. I cannot wait for Liam and Savannah’s story later this year!
Awww, wasn’t that just the sweetest thing. Operation Bailey Wedding, told in family POV, each sibling plus friends and Dori got to share their feelings in the week leading up to the big day. Holly and Austin are stressed out, things can go wrong and often do. Sometimes in the most hilarious of ways. But underlying all this is that deep, abiding love that’s shared by the whole family, love interests included. For all it’s size this darling novella packs quite an emotional punch. I couldn’t have asked for better from this amazing duo authors.
It was a fantastic little treat picking up the threads of their lives since Birth of a Baby Daddy, and a tantalizing glimpse of the way ahead. I loved these siblings with all my heart. Everybody has a favorite member and wants to have that imaginary family as their own. There’s still so much to come from Lake Starlight, and I personally CAN NOT WAIT. Bring on the Baileys!!
This story had me mesmerized from the very first chapter and every page in between, until the very end. This book was equal parts humor and drama making it another perfect Bailey family story. I thoroughly enjoyed the POV’s from each of the Bailey Clan and getting a peek at everyone’s impression of what was unfolding. If you thought this wedding would commence without any hiccups, think again. It wouldn’t be a Bailey event without some twists and turns that had you on the edge of your seat with anticipation. The next Bailey book will definitely have you fanning yourself because I have a feeling that Savannah and Liam will be burning up those pages!
Absolute perfection! I got everything I wanted and so much more. The Baileys are such an incredible family.
I seriously love this series so much.
I can’t recommend it often enough..so give it and try…start with Lessons From A One-Night Stand.

Would I read more from the author? Hell Yes
Would I recommend this book? Hell Yes but you must read them in order..not a stand-alone
“This is life with the Bailey’s, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
The most loving, complicated and funny family that you know is about to gain a new member. And five days before the wedding, it seems like anything can happen. Even the unlikely. And when it happens, one question hangs in the air: What happens to the honeymoon?
Is it possible to fall in love over and over again? If you are talking about the Bailey’s that’s totally possible and true. What is absolutely not possible is to put the books down or read them without a smile in your face and a warm heart. And with Operation Bailey Wedding couldn’t be different.
What does happen after the Happily Ever After? The question that always hangs in the air at the end of a good novel is answered here. And we are not just talking about one couple, but three. The delights and problems that every couple can face, told in a humorous and tender way.
Fights. Fires. Embezzling. How all those things can be related to a wedding? But remember, it’s the Bailey’s we are talking about. With the most unusual scenes and situations played by Alaska’s dearest family, Operation Bailey Wedding is an event no one can miss.
*ARC provided in exchange for an honest Review *
A Wedding! It’s finally here, The Big Day, Austin and Holly are getting married and everyone has gathered to bear witness but as you can surmise with this being the Bailey Family things don’t go as smoothly as they hope they would.
There is so much going on with each of the siblings and the extended family that I’m surprised it fit into a novella. This was a quick fun read that has some sexy moments with lots of laughs and a happy couple finally saying I DO.
I cannot tell you how much I have been enjoying this series and this novella was just the thing I needed to hold me over until Savannah’s book is released in October. I would highly suggest this series be read in order of the release dates because of how each of the siblings play major roles in each of the books and it would give away to much if you haven’t read their stories yet.
Happy Reading!!!
5 Star Review Operation Bailey Wedding (The Baileys #3.5) by Piper Rayne
From the first book in this fabulous series, Piper Rayne had me hooked. In fact there is not a Bailey that I don’t love. They are such a great family and their friends are just as awesome. I really love small town romances and have often found myself often wishing that I could be a part of the Lake Starlight , Alaska community and a member of the Bailey clan.
Piper Rayne write strong characters that are so easy to relate to and are not afraid to show them in all their flawed glory, it makes the stories that much more realistic and I really love and appreciate that.
Although a novella, it was with a happy smile that I dove in to Operation Bailey Wedding. It was great catching up on all the couples as the family and the community prepare for Holly and Austin’s wedding. 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 plenty of humour, that’s a given, but this book had so much that at times I wanted to cry. It also had several intense 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 loved this book from start to finish and highly recommend you one click. I cannot wait for the next book in the series and based on this book I have no doubt that it is going to blow us away.
I adore the Bailey’s and couldn’t wait to revist Lake Starlight.
Operation Bailey Wedding is the fourth book in the Bailey series, a heartwarming and fun Novella, told from multiple points of view.
I adored seeing all the Bailey siblings come together for Austin and Holly’s wedding and the drama, and shennaningans that ensue.
I cannot wait to see the rest of the Bailey’s bought to their knees when they find their happy ever afters.
I didn’t know how much I’d been missing the Baileys since I started reading and, I have to say, it felt like coming home.
To me, this is the perfect little morsel to keep the readers at bay while waiting on the next Bailey book. Operation Bailey Wedding is not only about Austin and Holly’s wedding, but an overall glimpse of our favorite family and I don’t think it could have been any better with the right amount of romance, drama, sexy and fun times in good Piper Rayne fashion.
I couldn’t get enough of the couples, their shenanigans or the foundation of the next story and I can’t wait until the time for the next three Baileys is finally here.
What a lovely little novella!!
A delicious little tidbit to give the readers a Bailey family fix while we wait patiently (insert sarcasm here) for the next full installment from Lake Starlight and the Bailey family.
To see little snapshots of how all the Baileys are doing and their significant others. (Those that have them and those who might!!)
I loved the alternate POV’s (even some that really surprised me).
It was a funny, swoony and I’ll admit I got a bit teary myself reading about Austin & Holly’s wedding.
Well done Piper Rayne in giving me and your readers something quick and fun to help us get by until the next full installment in this series!
I can’t wait to get my hands on Savannah & Liam’s story next!!
It’s the wedding we have all been waiting for and it was ABSOUTELY FANTASTIC. This book was so much more than I expected and everything I didn’t know I needed in my life.
In true Bailey fashion there is so much chaos surrounding Austin and Holly’s wedding, both with them and the rest of the Bailey clan. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and everything that I would have expected for the Bailey’s. The family came together and celebrating the first of what I’m sure will be many Bailey weddings.
I loved that this novella had many different POV’s and we got to catch up with the previous couples and some up and coming ones. This is the perfect story to hold any Bailey family fan over until the next release. It packed a lot of punches and raised many, many, many questions that I can’t wait to get answers for.
This is a MUST READ for any Bailey Family lovers!
**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
Piper Rayne has taken us back to Lake Starlight for the wedding of Austin and Holly. As you can imagine, all of the Bailey’s are together to celebrate the nuptials and when you have a huge family and a huge event, not everything can be smooth sailing!
We get a glimpse into what is going on with all of the family members and their significant others (or lack there of). There are plenty of laughs, lots of emotion and Piper Rayne does a fantastic job of making us want the next book in this series pronto! I know it’s the book I’ve been waiting for and to know the wait is nearly over makes me ecstatic!
This was a great novella and if you love the Bailey’s like I do, it will be enough to whet your whistle and make you salivate for what is still to come in this series!
From crazy in love to happily ever after. The Bailey clan is back to prove less than perfect is an awesome match for bookshelves and hearts everywhere. Operation Bailey Wedding has it all. New beginnings, happy endings and the chance to explore possibilities, both obvious and surprising. Piper Rayne tickles the funny bone, while touching the heart in every possible way.
I fall more in love with the Bailey’s every time a new book comes out in this series. The Bailey’s family will put you through one heck of an emotional ride. But it is worth every second. I am happy to see all of the siblings back. I can’t wait for Savannah’s story.
Operation Bailey Wedding is a novella so it’s a short quick read. I loved this one. We get to catch up with the Bailey’s and there’s a wedding. So far , Holly and Austin are my favorite couple so I was a excited to see it would be their wedding. Of course there are bumps in the roads and sometimes things don’t look like they are going to go off without a hitch. And like with anything to do with The Baileys, there are laughs to be had in this one. We get the POVs of several Baileys, which was fun. I am ready for the next Bailey couple.
Homecoming. That is the exact and perfect word to describe my feelings about Operation Bailey Wedding. I was reunited with my all time favorite Bailey family and the craziness that comes with Lake Starlight. And Piper Rayne recreated the familiar sweet, hilarious, funny, emotional and passionate reactions in a bigger and better way! Because this is the ultimate deluxe Bailey experience package!
This story essentially revolves around the chaos called Holly and Austin’s wedding. But you will get to read a bit about every character you have loved so much. Their relationships are evolving constantly and I felt like I am truly part of their journey. Of course Piper Rayne will pack awesome surprises for you along the story. And some special people I have been dying to read more about. This story made me so excited for more! Since it’s Lake Starlight and the Baileys, the wedding can’t obviously go without hitches and obstacles and required drama. Piper Rayne packed some serious punches in this novella! I can honestly say I am rarely invested in a fictional family like I am with the Baileys. I cried some real tears during the wedding ceremony.
Operation Bailey Wedding by Piper Rayne was about family and friendship. My heart was filled with true happiness and genuine heartwarming emotions while reading this story. A perfect novella in an amazing series!
Received ARC for Honest Review
Operation Bailey Wedding by Piper Rayne was everything I was hoping for and more. What a satisfying little appetiser to tide readers over until the next full length Bailey book is available. I have been missing the Bailey crew, and this book was the perfect way to get my fix. Filled with the signature humor I have come to love from Piper Rayne and a whole lot of sweetness.
There were twists and turns throughout, and it was so much fun to catch up with the other family members. I loved and appreciated the multiple POVs in this book, since it gave us a bit of an update on each character. I love this family and all their quirks and craziness. These characters are so loveable and I really enjoy reading about them.
Operation Bailey Wedding is a beautiful and heartwarming addition to the Baileys Series. I have to say, this series has been an absolute joy to read and I’m so excited for the remaining books releasing later this year.
This was perfect! I was missing our Lake Starlight family and this novella totally hit the spot!
Operation Bailey Wedding is something totally different. It’s kind of an epilogue, but in the middle of the series. And I have to admit it… I totally loved it! Operation Bailey Wedding was the perfect addition to read a little more about all these characters and their “happily ever after”.
The novella is quite refreshing as it is written in multiple POV’s. This way you’ll get to read about their happy endings as well as hints to future books that are up next in this series.
Okay, I want to start by saying that I love love love the format of this novella! Piper gives us chapters throughout it from so many different characters’ POV’s and it was so awesome! You see POV’s from Holly, Austin, Wyatt, Brooklyn, Rome, Denver, Harley, Savannah, Liam, Grandma Dori, and even from Myles and Daisy! I loved getting to catch up with each character we’ve seen previously and also get insight into Savannah and Liam’s head for the next book. Once again, I am completely obsessed with this family!
This is definitely meant to be read after Birth Of A Baby Daddy and before Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend. There are spoilers if you haven’t read up to Birth Of A Baby Daddy.
