Come Fly with Me
Taylor Patterson has sworn off men and he’s her worst nightmare.
Arrogant and flirtatious, and now Crescent Airways’ newest pilot, Jake Campbell has a panty-dropping smile and a body to match. But he’s no match for Taylor’s cold heart.
Plagued by a bad reputation and a bitter divorce, Taylor is determined to make a name for herself outside of the bedroom. As Crescent Airways’ only female pilot, she’s had to work twice as hard and she won’t let someone like Jake bring her down.
But she’s surprised to find he’s nothing like she expected him to be. Even more surprising is her growing attraction to him and his obvious attraction to her—an attraction that causes her to question whether swearing off men is such a good idea after all.
But when Jake’s past resurfaces, she realizes getting close to him may be her biggest mistake of all.

I absolutely devoured this book!! It is such a fun steamy romcom read! The banter and flirting between Jake and Taylor was to die for!! I loved how there was instant attraction, but they became friends first and the tension simmered to the point of BOILING! Jake had me literally giggling and kicking my feet in the air! He is the definition of a man written by a woman. He had me on my KNEES with his amazing confessions of love, his undying love for his woman, and wearing his heart on his sleeve. I loved his fun-loving, golden retriever energy, and he never failed to make me laugh (& swoon!!!) Taylor is the definition of a strong and independent woman. I loved her black-cat energy & passion for women-empowerment! I especially loved Taylor’s character development throughout the book, with her opening herself up and standing up for what she believes in. She loves hard and fights for what she believes in harder, and I love that in an FMC! This novel has amazing pacing, kept me engaged, and I loved all the side characters and stories! I highly suggest this for your next romance read!😍🥰

#Review: *Come Fly With Me* - ARC - Claire Raye [18+]
4.6/5✨
3/5🌶️
I read a couple of months ago a book written by these authors and I enjoyed it, so I wanted to try another one🤭. I loved this one even more! Thank you so much Claire Raye for offering me this e-ARC.
At the center of this book we have a powerful women: Taylor Patterson, who is a pilot on commercial planes and she is a captain. Taylor has an inedited encounter with the new officer, Jacob Campbell. There was an instant connection between them and, I can say, that it was a bit of an instant love. Jacob definitely falls first and harder for his beautiful captain. But he has a huge secret which may ruin his plans with his captain.
Taylor begins to let her barriers down, after she spends a couple of wonderful days in Jake's company, when he shows her the best parts of his hometown. From there on, Taylor is starting to doubt the walls she has built after her hurtful divorce and it's trying to relax a bit. She didn't think she could trust other man after her ex-husband cheated multiple times.
Jake is a bit younger than Taylor and a complete flirt! He has the best personality, being friendly with almost everyone. Taylor fears that Jake would be exactly as her ex-husband, but it's pretty hard not to fall for Jake's excellent charms. He is so supportive of her and her accomplishments, something which was missing in her last relationship and he pushes for her to overcome herself.
I liked that besides the romance and spicy parts we had some sensitive subjects too. Like the equality between man and woman or the way woman need to work harder to be accepted for certain jobs. I think these are still actual issues, which haven't been resolved entirely.
Like I mentioned before, I really enjoyed this book, loving the flying theme! It seems that I really like books which include planes🤭. I recommend it if you like the tropes from the below list.

This book!!
I loved every moment I got to spend with Taylor and Jake. They are incredible characters, with lots of depth and the writing is fantastic.
I laughed, I swooned, I fanned myself and I even had my heart going out to them. I spent the whole read firmly in Taylor’s corner, she had you feeling empowered and confident.
The attraction between these two is instant I loved the special connection their shared, all while trying to keep it professional. Especially Taylor, trying to move past a reputation and gossip that followers her-being the only female Captain for her airline, while living life in the most unapologetic way and true to herself. Her strength and confidence is unmatched, but she’s not without her worries and has walls around her heart firmly in place.
Taylor and Jake really are addictive, their banter, the ease and comfort, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other. I love how genuine their interactions are. Falling into an adorable and fun rhythm-I couldn’t help but smile at every turn.
The tension between them hits right from the start! They bring out a great side of one another on a deeper level-and boy did it make for some hawt spicy moments! These two really steamed up the pages when it came to it!
Jake fell fast and hard, and it made me so happy each time he did some cute or flirted with Taylor! He is beyond sweet and supportive, exactly the partner for Taylor…
But, when a little twist is thrown at them fast and the past and present come together after secrets have been kept-can Jake make it right, and really be what Taylor deserves?
I flew through this book, just couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this one, full of fun and excitment but also tackling some real world issues.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Oh those two…their witty banter from day one….you knew it was only a matter of time before the quick wit moved on to fast feelings….you just weren’t sure who was going to fall first….definitely Jake
Taylor had to many ups but mostly downs with the men on her life….there were only a handful in her life she could really count on but would or could Jake be one of them
This book came with a lesson….Taylor held no secrets….mainly because her business had been broadcast in the streets….Jake holds one close to the vest….well not really a secret per se but a non disclosure is just as bad….especially when it comes out at the way wrong time….they always do
We also get a glimpse of job/pay inequality based on gender….of course a woman is just handed job titles never out right earned right??? Uh nope & we get to see how we all wished it really happened….how if you are a hard working female that earned what is given people with go to bat for you every time
This was definitely a slow burn but when things started to heat up they were fire….give Taylor & Jake’s story a read….they did have a lot of fun adventures & caused a few shenanigans but it was all well worth it…..my favorite part was we got to see a couple of years down the road & future plans for these two

Taylor and Jacob are two of the cutest couples I’ve come across in a long time. Taylor is fighting to be respected in her job field as a women pilot and Jacob is ever so happy to be at her side. They have an immediate attraction and connection to each other but Taylor is trying to focus on her career and not get mixed up with a coworker. Jacob is the sweetest cinnamon roll book boyfriend that will have you rooting for him the whole time. He is unrelenting with his flirting with Taylor He is also patient as she works through her personal baggage.
This was a fast paced easy read that will have you flying around the world while falling in love with both MCs. Once the slow burn build up is over the spice is spicing. This is my second book that I’ve read by Claire Raye and I just love their writing style. They give you so many beautiful emotions this book had me laughing and smiling and tearing up throughout the book

✨ARC Review✨
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
Did the thought of a possible Mile High Club scene cross my mind before I started this ARC? Possibly 😆
This story follows Taylor Patterson, a diligent and empowering Captain who has had to fight tooth + nail to get to where she is. I absolutely adored Taylor and applaud her determination to stand up and fight for equality for women in the aviation field! She is confident and stays true to herself, completely dismissing what anyone has to say about her! A total bad a$$.
This book would not be complete with Jake Campbell. The sexy, flirty, and heartthrob of a First Officer. Jake is the epitome of book boyfriend! I love how he not only dotes, supports, and cares for Taylor, but he goes above and beyond to show her just how powerful + incredible she is.
The slow burn in the beginning was killing me (in a good way). Their obvious attraction to each other led up to one unforgettable spicy scene.🥵 These two balance each other out so perfectly and I couldn’t get enough! I thought it was pretty amazing that real world issues on gender pay inequality was also included!
A huge thank you to Claire Ray for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC of Come Fly With Me. My first ever Aviation and book from them-it did not disappoint!
Make sure to set your alarms for August 28th to get your own copy of Come Fly With Me!✈️

🌶️🌶️🌶️
If you are looking for a quick and easy spicy/swoon worthwhile read then this book is the one.
I was obsessed with the banter and Jake’s protectiveness of Taylor every time someone would talk about her.
This literally had me hooked from the very first interaction they had.
Taylor is such a strong FMC & Jake was such a flirt, but their chemistry was amazing.
“I wouldn’t ask you to change the world for me. I’d expect that’s we’d do it together.”
Thank you to @claire_raye_author for providing me with this Arc.

What a fun and light hearted read !! I loved Taylor and Jake together! Despite their not so pleasant first meeting as co-pilots, the connection and chemistry between them was immediate and so palpable, I FELT it. Taylor is stubborn about letting someone in, and is hesitant to give him a chance. Jake is known to be a ladies’ man and he is determined to get Taylor to give him a chance.
That man is SO sweet and kind! The lengths he went to to spend time with her was so endearing.
The spice was 👩🍳 💋! I’m loving this author duo ! This is a definite binge read, the perfect escape!!!

WOW!!! Claire Raye does it again!!
This is my second book by these authors and both books have been outstanding!!! They write female characters that are strong, inspiring and stand up for what is right.
In this book our FMC Taylor and our MMC Jake are boss/employee. But, don’t make the wrong assumption because SHE is THE BOSS!! The banter, annoyances, pasts, loyalty, etc..these two possess will have you on the edge of your seat. So buckle up, put on your oxygen mask because this book is going to have you going through some turbulence!!

COME FLY WITH ME is probably one of my favourite Claire Raye books - I just adore Taylor because she's not afraid to take what she wants.
This is a slow burn / He falls first / workplace romance - Taylor being a pilot and Jake being her First Officer, and the chemistry between these two is electric! There's plenty of banter and Jake will make you fall in love with him so easily.
Claire and Raye just write so well together and they are fast becoming one of my favourite romance writing duos.

I flew through this book, no pun intended!
-Workplace Romance
-Enemies to Friends to Lovers
-Reverse Age Gap

Taylor is a bad a** and Jake is fully aware! Taylor is Captain and Jake is her new co-pilot. These two don't start on the right foot however Jake is persistent in proving to Taylor that he wants to spend time with her. These two have so much fun and adventure together. The more they are together, the feeling grow deeper. There's a slight hiccup that they have to overcome where trust is on the line. Jake does all in his power to prove to Taylor that she is his better half. She is worth it all. Such a cute, spicy, easy read.
Thank you Claire Raye for the ARC opportunity💕

(I received an ARC for this book)
Trigger Warnings include:
discussions of cheating during marriage (not between MCs), the unfair treatment of women in the workplace (including harassment and lack of deserved pay)
I'm not joking when I say I could just spend this whole review talking about how much I LOVE Taylor and Jake! I loved their back and forth, the flirting, the banter; I just loved everything! Jake came in, and it was instantly obvious that he was a flirting pro…and Taylor did not fall for his charm. Not at first anyway. And actually, it was the true version of Jake that did Taylor in. (And me too!) When she takes him up on his offer to experience his hometown his way, I knew we were all in trouble. My poor heart never stood a chance for what came next. And next. And next! I truly LOVED these characters! The rawness to them, the vulnerability that they shared between them, the safe space they gave each other. I spent the entire book thinking “my god do I love them”! Captain Taylor Patterson and First Officer Jacob Campbell did a number on my heart, and I could NOT be happier to have experienced their story! Genuinely LOVE that this was my introduction to this writing duo!
My Favorite Quotes:
• “Do you have any idea how sexy you are?”
• “I’ve spent a total of twelve hours with you and already you fucking own me. You don’t even realize it, but it’s me who’s on my knees.”
• “We all have our vices. Maybe you’re mine.” “It only takes one vice to drown out all your virtues.” “Then let me drown.”
• “I imagine a lot of things turn you on.” “Just you; you and your snarky attitude, and your hot little body and that mouth. F!ck me, that mouth.”
• “You could easily take my heart and crush it. The difference is, I’m willing to risk it.”
• “All I thought about was being the last. The last guy to touch your body, to be inside your head, to heal your heart, to foster what is amazing about you; all the things you can’t see.”
• “I’ve waited this long, and I’m not f!cking you until I taste you.”
• “I’m going to come fast.” “Then come all over my face.”
• “I want to feel you inside me. I want to feel your hard c!ck, filling me, stretching me, making me come.”
• “All I want is a future with you.”
• “I’ll always be with you, wherever I am.”

“Can I put my bag in your trunk?”
“I’d like to put something in your trunk.”
I burst out laughing, my hand running down my face as I shake my head at his horrible pick-up line. “Does that really work?” I ask. “Girls falling at your feet in response to your horrendous pick-up lines?”
“I’m not hurting, but right now, I’m thinking there’s only one woman I want.”
“Well, you know what they say, you always want what you can’t have.”
“I’ll take that as a challenge.”
Thank you to Claire & Raye for an early copy of Come Fly With Me. This was such a great read! I was hooked right away and read it in like 24hrs lol
Taylor Patterson has a bad reputation that she can’t seem to shake and as the only female pilot at Crescent Airways she’s already had to work twice as hard as her male counterparts to get to her position and she’s not going to let anyone bring her down.
Jake Campbell is Crescent Airways’ newest pilot and with his gorgeous smile and accent, he’s every girls dream. Every girl but Taylor it seems. As Jake tries to flirt his way into her life, he realizes Taylor is heavily guarded and it will take more than a few smiles and laughs to win her over.
As their attraction grows and Taylor’s realizes Jake isn’t the arrogant guy she initially thought, her walls start to crumble. But just as things start to get serious, Jake’s past rears its ugly head and everything he’s tried to build with Taylor comes crashing down.
I loved this story so much! I loved how strong and powerful Taylor is a FMC. She’s who I want to be when I grow up lol. Jake was the sweetest and most fun MMC! I loved him so much and he’s a top book boyfriend for life now. I loved the banter and dual POV in this story. The way Claire and Raye are able to write their characters really pulls you into the characters lives and it feels like you’re right there in the story with them.
Come Fly With Me is Live now! Go and get it friends!

Book Review: Come Fly With Me by: Claire Raye
I absolutely 💯 am a Claire Raye Fan Girl so for this week’s FanGirl Friday I’m bringing you these twos latest release Come Fly With Me! I completely devoured this book!! It was such a spectacular steamy, spicy, and swooning romantic story!
You can feel all the emotions and slow burn simmering between Taylor and Jake! The way they flirt and fight their attraction! The pressure cooker of this slow burn explodes in one epic inferno.
I really liked that they were more friends and it grew from there. I really loved Jake and his way of supporting her and also not feeding into or rehashing the drama and gossip he hears. And the banter whoa it will have you kicking your toes and giggling 🤭 he doesn’t do anything small he is big with his actions, his thoughts, and his love. 💯 the perfect book boyfriend!
Definitely a marshmallow man and he was the best! Taylor is such a powerhouse and gives nothing short of 💯 and even though internally she worries about what others think she doesn’t let it slow her at all! She’s definitely rocking the black cat 🐈⬛ vibes but is a toasty marshmallow inside and it was perfect! The characters development especially hers was beautifully written by these ladies you see a total transformation and openness that was beautifully executed.
The characters are fully developed and the plot is very interesting and deep especially with the equality in the workplace. You will be on your toes with excitement and a little suspense in the end. Definitely a great read! And as I am a FanGirl you’ll be doing a happy dance at the end! These two ladies know how to write some great books so you won’t regret grabbing anything from them!

I’m an absolute sucker for traveling romances and this book took me to so many locations!! Sydney, Hawaii, Chicago, Singapore… so many spots!
Jake & Taylor’s meet cute wasn’t to cute.. it was more uncomfortable and awkward. Taylor is waiting for the new hire pilot. She’s the only female pilot in the company and she fights for even rights throughout the whole book. (She gets over looked for raises and rank, which fuels her fire to fight for what’s right.) When Jake finally arrives, Taylor rips him a new one. His flirtatious attitude and bright white smile doesn’t help win over Taylor. She already knows what type of man he is based on his presence. But that doesn’t last long.
Their first flight is 14 hours long, Los Angeles to Sydney. Taylor is all for teaching and helping newer pilots so on take off she allows Jake to do it solo. Over the course of the flight they talk a little bit but the real bonding is at the hotel drop off when they land in Sydney. Taylor has had a bad reputation for being promiscuous with other pilots due to her trying to be numb to her failed marriage. Now she wants to be free and she’s sick of the smack talking behind her back. (As a reader you know this screams jealousy from the side characters who hate on her.) So she asks Jake to help her breakout of her bubble and do something adventurous. Jake ends up showing her round to his favorite spots since he’s a local to Sydney. From this trip on, they end up spending a lot of time together in LA and any flights they get to be together on.
I absolutely loved how Jake jumped in and fought anyone who says even one negative thing about Taylor. He really wore his heart on his sleeve.
Tropes:
Pilots
Travel
Forced Proximity
Reverse Age Gap (31/28)
Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine
He Falls First
She Ranks Hire Than Him

Claire Raye (Claire and Raye) are a phenomenal bestie writing duo. I cannot possibly thank them enough for sending me an early copy to read. -Even if I am also going to blame them for my loss of sleep because I couldn't put this down.
This was a blend of emotional, personal growth, spice, and witty banter. I loved this book so freaking much. I don't know if I will ever stop talking about it.
Taylor has a reputation at the airline where she is Captain, and when Jake walks into the picture as her first captain with his handsome self, it leads Taylor to question whether Jake wants her because he thinks it will be easy, or if he truly likes her.
Jake is set on making sure that Taylor knows he likes her for her, despite her reputation, he does his best to show her how powerful she is as a female pilot and that she is capable and deserving of so much more than she has been given in the past.
I fell in love with the way that Jake showed Taylor in little ways how much she meant to him, and I fell deeper when he started to be vocal about supporting a badass woman in STEM when her coworkers were bashing her behind her back (and sometimes even to her face). Jake is the kind of man that respects women in all aspects of life, and that made me just adore him more.
This was a medium-slow burn. (If that's a thing? It wasn't slow, but it wasn't instant either?) The tension that builds between Taylor and Jake from their initial meeting when Jake is late to work, becomes some epic foreplay that explodes into some very intense spice.
This was an emotional rollercoaster, and while there is some miscommunication-the road these two have to take to get to their happily ever after had me HOOKED.

This was my second read from author Claire Raye and I am not disappointed! This is actually a 4.5 star read for me! I read it in ONE day! 😱
The story follows Captain Taylor Patterson, one of the few female pilots for Crescent Air, and First Officer, Jake Campbell.
Taylor is a lovely blonde lady, in her 30s, a total badass and girl boss, who just so happens to be divorced after her ex-husband (also a pilot) cheats on her! She decided to do exactly what he did during their marriage after they got divorced and spends her time on layovers getting under the sheets with just about anyone she can find. She also runs a flight school for girls in her free time and realizes she makes less money than her male counterparts with the same experience, so she makes it her mission to fight for pay equity in the flight industry!
Jake is seemingly an f-boy and even goes by the nickname “Hunter” because he chases after so many women. He is in his 20s, dark and sultry, an Australian, ex-Air Force, fighter jet pilot who went commercial who just so happens to fancy Captain Taylor Patterson.
Immediately throughout the book you get slammed with sexual tension. It was like a cauldron bubbling up, and I couldn’t wait for it to finally bubble up and boil over. When. it finally does… hello!! it’s steamy and hot!
A variety of adventures brings the two of them together and there is a MAJOR jaw drop! I was shooketh!!
The ending is so incredibly adorable and I’m so glad we got extended time epilogues into the future to see what happens between these two!
Please read this, you won’t be disappointed!

Come Fly With Me is a delightful romantic read that I thoroughly enjoyed. The story follows Taylor Patterson, a pilot who has sworn off men, and Jake Campbell, the charming new pilot at Crescent Airways. As someone who loves a good romance, I was immediately drawn to the unique premise of the book, which features two pilots as the main characters.
One of the things I loved most about this book was the chemistry between Taylor and Jake. Their interactions were both entertaining and engaging, and I found myself rooting for them to overcome their differences and find love. Raye's writing style is accessible and flows well, making it easy to get lost in the story. The humor sprinkled throughout the narrative added a light-hearted touch that balanced the romantic tension perfectly.
While the character development was commendable, I have to admit that I did find some of the plot points a bit predictable at times. However, this didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the book. The story maintained a captivating pace that kept me invested in Taylor's journey toward love and self-discovery.
As a fan of romantic fiction, I found Come Fly With Me to be a delightful addition to the genre. The unique setting of the aviation world added an extra layer of interest to the story, and I appreciated the way Raye incorporated the challenges faced by pilots into the narrative.
Overall, I would highly recommend Come Fly With Me to anyone who enjoys a good romance with a twist. It's a perfect read for a lazy afternoon or a cozy evening curled up with a cup of tea. I give it a solid four-star rating and can't wait to see what Claire Raye comes up with next!

I fell in love with this romance from the beginning chapter. Everything about Come Fly With Me was so worth reading!
Taylor Patterson, Crescent Airways lone female captain, in my eyes doesn’t have a bad reputation. She was deceived into believing she’d have a relationship filled with love, only to see how much of a douche her ex truly way. Her actions afterwards doesn’t make her less of a woman, but shows just how much women are looked down on for the exact same behavior men are high-fived for.
When she meets Jake Campbell, her guard goes up instantly, especially when he immediately turns up the heat with sly flirting. But not all men are users and Jake proves to Taylor just how different he is; and worthy of getting to know.
I love how Claire Raye written this on three levels. The level of a slow burn romance that instantly ignites into a roaring fire. The second level is how you see how women or at least Taylor is treated for reckless actions, but see the very people who talk crap about her doing the exact same thing, and lastly, there’s a beautiful story of how one woman is set to change the way women are treated in the workplace.
I loved Jake. He was such a sweetheart to Taylor. He was the sunshine she needed when she was dealing with many of the storms in her life. The man is scrumptious and does not mind standing up to anyone who hurts Taylor.
Would I re-read this book again? Absolutely. I loved it. The banter, the spice, the important message in between; I loved it all.

**{eARC} Book Review**
📖What a book! I flew through this book, no pun intended. Haha! I highly recommend this book for fun, excitement, spicy scenes, and adventure as well as tackling some real world issues.
📖The book starts right away from the first page with instantly feeling the attraction between the two MCs. It starts off where Jake, the MMC, “first officer” was granted a permanent position on Crescent Airways on none other than the FMC, Taylor Patterson’s team, the “Captain”.
✈️Jake Campbell was sexy, flirty, and such a heartthrob, it wasn’t hard to fall. Working for a boss babe, didn’t affect Jake, if anything, he fully supported her from the start and never strayed from. He doted on Taylor from the beginning, and not only did he go after her, he cared for her and even went above and beyond to show her how much he adored her, loved her, supported her and how absolutely incredible she was.
✈️Taylor Patterson, was the definition of badass! She was a boss bitch to the core (but not in a mean way, in an all business kind of way), and didn’t take crap from no one, not even Jake Campbell. Because she is a female pilot, only 7% of female pilots make it to “Captain”, and she worked hard, was persistent and determined to get where she was. I absolutely applaud her and her determination for standing up to women's rights and equality for women in the aviation industry. Throughout the book she stayed true to herself, her self worth and never taking less than what she deserved.
💕Both Taylor and Jake proved to be addictive, the adventures were fun and entertaining, their banter was great. I loved how genuine their interactions were, making it more easy to connect with both characters. I couldn’t help but smile and laugh so easily as well as tear up during those emotional moments.
🥰Jake fell fast and hard, making their chemistry, the feelings and emotions so swoon worthy, but lovable and cute. The way they flirted…. Swoon. 🥰
😲But of course, when the twist was thrown in fast, making the past and present collide, you knew it was going to be ugly.
🫶🏻A huge thank you to Claire and Raye again for allowing me the opportunity to read Come Fly With Me as an early reader in return for my honest thoughts and review. This was my first read in aviation and it didn’t disappoint.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐞 by Claire Raye is a spicy workplace romance for pilots, Taylor and Jake. Taylor is a strong female Captain fighting against her reputation in a male-dominated profession, when she’s knocked for a loop by her newest First Officer, Jake, who’s flirty, arrogant, and oh so handsome. The attraction between them is strong, but Taylor is trying to focus on her career, rather than men. However, as they spend time together, their connection grows, along with her trust. That is, until a blast from Jake’s past threatens to destroy it all.
This was an entertaining read with a strong FMC in Taylor, who’s fighting for not only herself, but all women to have equal pay and fair treatment in the workforce, as well as Jake who was sweet and supportive under all the flirtatious and arrogant exterior. I loved all their spicy chemistry, witty banter, and fun moments. The book was also brimming with great supporting characters who either added heart or drama.😉 And yes, there was a dramatic plot twist I wasn’t expecting that ramped up the emotions for the characters. But, it did lead to a pretty great grand gesture.😆 I loved the way it ended, but wished there was an epilogue, so I could see just a little more!🤪
I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

I am loving these new books by Claire and Raye.
This one had me all excited and I really felt like I was going on an adventure with them. It had all the warmth, humour, banter, slow burn and spice.
Taylor had gone on a mad spin after her divorce. Now that she has calmed down, her past doesn't seem to leave her alone. Again this is show of double standards. Her ex doesn't get noticed doing these stuff but she does. So when she meets her new Co pilot, she is knocked off her balanced wall. But she has sworn off men, no matter how irresistible he is. Plus she is older than him (only by 3 years).
Jake has finally got a permanent gig as a Co pilot, but wasn't expecting this hot beauty.
He is a shameless flirt and can't help himself. I definitely think he fell in love with her instantly. He could see she doesn't trust easy and he has his work cut out. I absolutely adored him, he was so sweet, caring, kind and smart. The way he did things for her, my heart just about melted away. He is slowly winning her until his past comes and destroys the little trust she gave him.. Can he get her to see the truth and win her? Is she willing to try and understand or just save her heartache?
I also loved how this story highlights the difference in pay in a man dominated industry and how unequal the treatment is.
So it did have a very strong belief and it was perfect.
This was another fantastic book by these ladies and can't wait for more.

Thank you Claire Raye for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!
I loved this one! Sexy airplane pilots? Yes please! 😆 Dual POV? Double yes please! The FMC, Taylor is a badass! I loved the story from the get go. Claire Raye showed us who Taylor was instantly and I was obsessed with her character the entire way through the book! After all the obstacles Taylor has gone through with rumors and being a female in the industry, it goes to show how dedicated she is to everything she does!
Now, Jake…he is a drop dead gorgeous MMC! I loved his relationship with Taylor and what he went through to prove his loyalty and love to her. Their professionalism of their relationship was top notch too. Side note: I want to give a shout out to Claire Raye for the representation of sexism in the work force! 👏🏻 It’s not talked about much in fiction books, but with having such a strong character, it was shown so well with Taylor! Bravo!
The talent with writing and developing characters that Clair Raye has is incredible! I have been a fan since the first time I picked up one of their books! This book was no different. I was hooked the whole time!
Thank you for such a fun and amazing story! You can grab yours today!!

This book was a really fun read for me. I was flying internationally while reading it & it put the flight crew into a different perspective.
Taylor is one of the best in the business when it comes to her work ethic, but as a pilot & one of the few female Captains in the game, she is faced with more obstacles than her male counterparts. And living a grueling flight schedule of a pilot, her personal life struggles. Coming off of a horrendous divorce, she finds herself in a constant battle to guard her heart…can’t say the same for her body though.
Jake is fresh off of a military career that left him battling different demons. With a body women crave & a smile to match, he’s only made more lethal with his Australian accent. But as the new kid on the block, he’s now struggling to establish himself in a position & quell the “Hunter” reputation that precedes him.
Jake proves himself very early on that there is more to him than his reputation. And in his pursuit of Taylor, she finds herself also trying to overcome a promiscuous reputation. As these two form a friendship in their layover excursions, their chemistry just completely ignites to quickly become more. And watching them fight for each other, even when the past continually rears its ugly head, it only made the outcome & their HEA that much sweeter.

I am absolutely falling in love with the authors Claire and Raye's books with everyone that I read. Their writing is utterly amazing, and the plots just get better and better each time. This book, Come Fly With Me, just blew me away. It was such an unexpected delight to receive this book, and to read it was so much better.
The book flowed so well, and I can day it's my first pilot romance book that I have ever read, and it makes me want more. Our female main character for this book is Taylor who is a female pilot, I mean how impressive is that and what she spends her free time doing makes me love her more, at the beginning of the book we meet Jake who ends up as Taylor's First Officer and newest recruit for the airline. Jake knows exactly what he wants, and that happens to be Taylor.
I loved watching the two of them slowly build up from simply hanging out with one another due to Taylor's hesitations about acting on her emotions with Jake to the both of them falling for one another and being the hottest couple up in the sky. I was hooked into this book the moment that it started, and all I want now is to see these characters again.

This was such a fun, flirty, summer romance and I loved it.
Taylor is a captain pilot for Crescent Airways. She’s single, devoted to her job and she’s not interested in pursuing any kind of romantic relationship.
Jake, also single, is a fairly new pilot to this airline and he ends up being Taylor’s copilot on their flight to Australia. This man is the sweetest, most light hearted, charming MMC. He is also Australian 🥵
He immediately is drawn to Taylor and wants to get to know her. His flirty charm doesn’t work on her right away, but when he suggests to show her his hometown, they spend their 3 days in Australia exploring and getting to know each other. Taylor is super hesitant because she’s still healing from a failed relationship. Their connection continues to grow the more they spend time together. They explore and have so many fun adventures when they are on breaks at each destination they fly to together.
I loved the chemistry these two had. They were so much fun to read about. The banter, romance, everything was great.
Thank you so much, Claire Raye for giving me an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed it🤍

I am still smiling to myself after finishing Come Fly With Me! Taylor and Jake were a power couple and I loved them. First, Taylor was such a boss. She is the epitome of a strong, independent and resilient FMC who knows how to fight for herself, especially in a male-dominated profession. Although things her coworkers said about her and their disrespect of her as a Captain did get to her, she never let it show to them and always defended herself. I loved that she created and ran a school for young girls passionate about becoming pilots, but whose families wouldn’t be able to afford it. This was everything!
And Jake…yummy Jake! He fell hard and fast for Taylor and did the sweetest things for her. I loved that they got to fly around the world together and create amazing experiences with each other. They were made for each other and made each other better. I loved seeing him defend her and fight for her when she wasn’t around to do it herself.
This was such a sweet and steamy read and I loved it! Thank you Claire Raye for an e-ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.
