Cockpit
She's the one who got away. But I live for the chase…
I'm a thrill seeker. I fly the fastest jets in the world, and ride my motorcycle when I'm on the ground. The only thing that matters to me is speed. Why would I ever think about settling down?
Jenny Reeds, that's why. One look in those hazel eyes and I found a thrill no dogfight could match. For one wild, unforgettable night, she was mine. I wanted to keep her close but she disappeared without even telling me her last name.
I did my tour and flew combat missions in desert skies. But I never forgot her.
Now they have me pushing papers and training new pilots. I thought I'd be bored to tears. Guess who I run into my first night back?
It's her, my wild-eyed, fiery-haired beauty. Turns out she's the General's daughter. But that won't stop me. I'm persistent and it doesn't take too long before she's back in my arms.
Only one problem. She's kept one hell of a secret from me. She had a baby while I was overseas. My baby.
Now I want them both under my roof. Permanently. I've never failed a mission yet and I don't intend to start now.
Cockpit is a standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. This edition includes bonus materials and will end before 100%!

**1.5 stars**
A one-night stand between Jagger, a military pilot and Jenny, a high school graduate leads to a nine-month gift which leads to no college for said female and then marriage and a HEA. The end.

This was a good story that was very easy to follow. They had a ONS 17 months before, but he did not know her whole name, so he could not find her after he had been shipped out.
This book really dealt with the army base mentality and the way they handle their problems.
I felt like I was back on base.
The hero and heroine bring their own drama as she can't trust him to know about her 8 month old daughter as he has the rep of being Sergeant Panty dropper (SPD)
She finds this out after she discovers that she is pregnant at 18. He was part of her rebellion after her mother died.
He wanted to reconnect and claim her for his own, but she wanted nothing to do with his whoring ass. Good for her here!
I know she should have told him about the baby, but he needs to understand he should have told her about the condom breaking and how to get in touch with him.
He just let her leave!
That is not cool!
He just reaped what he sowed here. You can't spend your life being a manslut and not expect it to hit you in the ass eventually.
And enjoyable read and I am glad I read it but not a keeper I will be returning it.
It was a quick hot read.
It was just a cute fun read to me.
Safety: it's totally safe no cheating, others, and condoms. He has always been safe even with the heroine.

**2.5 Run Far Away Stars**
Jagger “Sergeant Panty Dropper” spots little “fresh out of high school” Jenny at a bar and decides to have her. After an all-night ONS, Jenny rushes out and Jagger is left with only her first name and a memory. One he plays over and over. He is deployed the next day and has no way to find her. He never forgot Jenny and she never forgot him. 18 months later, the two reconnect but Jenny has a secret.
I was really enjoying this as they reconnected and Jagger wanted Jenny like no other. He was bound and determined to have her. He’d never forgotten Jenny and hadn’t been with anyone else since her. And then, the bomb got dropped. I knew it was coming…knew it was going to cause some turmoil and conflict. So, it became angsty. I’m not an angst reader. I can take small doses if it doesn’t last too long. I was so freaking pissed at Jenny. She had this secret and she kept it when she had every opportunity to come clean. I know Jagger had a reputation…and he paid for it. That was on him. I get it, she thought he was someone who would never stick around for long and she had other things to consider. But what does Jenny do when there is another misunderstanding (which I absolutely hate when there are misunderstandings that could be straightened out with some COMMUNICATION people)…she runs.
Now this is the third book I’ve read/tried by the author. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. the heroine runs like the devil himself is after her. In this instance, she was WRONG. She had no right to run. She kept a secret and by running she also was denying Jagger something very important and I’m sorry agreements and papers don’t cut it. Once he gets over his anger he goes after her. Yes, his reputation is the reason all this was kept a secret but Jenny needed to step up and take some responsibility…not fucking RUN!
And don’t even get me started on how her father, a GENERAL in the Marines, chases Jagger with a belt to give him a “whooping” for knocking his little girl up. HELLO! These are adults here…
So this would have easily been a 4-4.5 star read for me until the bomb was dropped. It just went downhill from there.

Derek Jagger has a reputation as “Sergeant Panty Dropper.” Jenny Reeds is looking to sow her oats during an impulsive wild streak. And their one night together before he ships out leaves Jenny in a completely new role.
Despite his old playboy ways, Jagger is all in once he meets Jenny. He can’t get her out of his mind during his time deployed, and he’d like very much to find her. If only he knew her last name. And then of all of the bars in the world, he walks into hers. And their second chance comes full swing.
“He was kind and gentle and sweet and passionate…and filthy. Very, very filthy.”
Jagger and Jenny have quite the chemistry and their encounters are pretty sizzling. There’s no shortage of heat in this story.
“He grunted like an animal as his tempo increased. I was still coming, still feeling the electricity that passed between us when we came together.”
It’s definitely a sexy story, largely light-hearted though there’s a bit of angst/drama around the middle. Jenny didn’t always make the best choices, and Jagger didn’t always react the best, but it was also clear they had good reasons for their mistakes and being told via their dual first person point of view helped with understanding their dilemma and actions. Overall though, I liked Jenny, especially so when she had no patience for old fashioned ideas.
“My father was an idiot. My fiancé was an idiot. Basically I was surrounded by idiots. Sweet, handsome idiots.”
I adored Jagger for the fact that he was so enamored of Jenny and the ways he went about winning her heart. It was clear that they had something he hadn’t had before and that she was special to him. While the virgin/manwhore and secret baby troupes are not typically my go-to reads, the story really pulled me in right from the start and characters made it work. I was engrossed and reading into the wee hours of the night. The fact that both of them were celibate during their time apart, and there was very minimal OM/OW drama really helped seal the deal on the romance, keeping the story sweet and focused on the issues solely between them. And Jenny’s father and fiends made humorous additions to the story.

This book is too cliche for me, everything that happened I read it before. The worst part for me was the dialogue.
It even wasn't a fun cliche book to read with the male protagonist saying stupid things like; "She needed to be warmed up before I sunk my torpedo". What the hell is that? is that supposed to be sexy?
That's not even the worst when he said "You look good with my creampie" I was like WTF? Where did he get that line a porn movie? Probably.
My favorite one was when he was describing her whimpering "... She was whimpering, squealing like a dolphin as I trust into her wildly" just lovely, a beautiful description in the middle of a "sexy" scene. Needless to say, I was laughing like a maniac imagining that but he finds it sweet I don't know how but he does.
Anyway it wasn't the worst book I have ever read but I wouldn't recommend it

Obviously this one didn't work for me. I didn't think it was as well-drawn as it could have been. The characters were a wham-bam-one night stand before the hero flies off into the wild blue yonder. The road to their second chance is paved with a secret -- but the way it happens is a bit hard to believe. It all just was too easy and predictable. Didn't find much depth or build up to the story.

1.2 Stars. DNF 27%
I wanted to like the story but the h rubbed me the wrong way. She was selfish and made rash decisions. Like not telling someone he's going to be a father based on his reputation. I understand she was young but her choices were terrible. He never treated her poorly and was always honest in what he wanted. Yet every time she thinks the worst and acts like a child.
So apparently not long after her HS graduation she meets our H at a bar. Ignoring the questions of how she got in or how she was served alcohol. Let's look at the age difference. This isn't his first day in the military with his experience he has to be 10-15 years older then she is. Then once he finds her again they have sex. Yet he doesn't notice that she's had a baby or is still breastfeeding that baby.
I gave up on the story after he says he doesn't have any rights and she has a tempter tantrum running away from him with his child. It may take some court time and DNA testing but fathers have rights too.
The book just makes me angry thinking about it. What a disappointment to a semi promising storyline.

I ended up stopping right before 50%. This is supposedly a standalone book but there is history between the characters that the author still has not got to yet. Not a lot of character development. The male is nothing like the book description. He's a rather a wimp. There's really no reference to flying or 'cockpits' and obviously it's just a play on works to get the reader worked up into thinking exactly what you're thinking. I'm pretty bored so I'm done.

Secret baby...
Cockpit is a pretty good read. I enjoyed the wooing. Jagger is sweet and sexy. Jenny made me mad, of course. She was hiding the fact that she had Jagger's baby while he was overseas...I love secret baby storylines, but I still want to stab the heroine for being so cruel. I'm a fickle b like that.
Sweet, sexy, and full of heart. Four stars and four wet panties.

Overused second chance romance with secret child trope.
I nearly even shed a tear.
It was entertaining enough to kill a few hours, but nothing I will be remembering in a matter of weeks.
Goes to possibly the most bizarre entry for Shh. . . Reading Challenge 2018 # 14. A book that spells COCK! (Using letters from title/author's name)

Derek Jagger is known around by his nickname ““Sergeant Panty Dropper. All the women want to get with him and any that can get with Jagger consider themselves lucky. Jenny Reeds is looking to sow her oats during an impulsive wild streak, but Jenny is young, like right out of high school young and this is something she is doing to rebel. She is so young but she is sweet and beautiful and when Jagger sees her, he wants her and goes after her. Jenny lies about her age and that sets up how the evening goes. They had a one night love affair and Jagger shipped out the next day with only her first name and a memory of how that night meant to him. Neither forgot each other, Jagger has that memory and Jenny is left with something more. 18 months go by and they end up meeting up by accident, only thing is now Jenny has a secret that she is hiding from Jagger, something huge.
I enjoyed how Jagger is making a point to reconnect with Jenny and show her how much he missed her and wants a relationship with her. This , from a man who cant stay committed, is now wanting a commitment from a woman. Jagger hasn’t been with anyone else since Jenny and the limited time since he has been back , things were great but suddenly everything goes wrong when Jagger finds out the huge secret that Jenny was hiding. Jenny was planning to tell Jagger when he found out and he was so mad. He went nuts and let loose his anger and rage and hurt. Yes, Jenny should have told Jagger immediately but she was young and didn’t know what to do. Jagger should have realized this. Jenny went to throw herself on the sword , so to speak at his house and saw something and she was devastated. So she did a runner with her secret. That is when things got great. Jagger realized he had a choice to make, to hold on to his anger , rage and hurt or he could take the gift he had and fight for them.
Does Jagger do that or does he continue on his course? Does Jenny let the miscommunication and misunderstanding hurt them both or does she wake up and let love back in their lives? You definitely need to read this story! Jagger and Jenny make a great couple , with the passion , angst, love, humor and action.
My rating: 4.7 stars *****

3.5 stars. This was a pretty good read! This was Derek and Jenny's story. They had a one night stand, during which Jenny, 18 years old, was going through a wild time after losing her mother. Jenny had been drinking but liked Derek when she met him that night and gave up her virginity. Derek really liked Jenny and had thoughts of her being "the one". But they oversleep after their night together and Jenny runs away, knowing her father would be mad that she stayed out so late. Derek is leaving that day for an 18 month deployment, but he didn't know Jenny's last name and had no way to get in touch with her. Jenny gets pregnant from that one night stand and when she tries to find Derek, she is met with tales of his reputation as a manwhore. So, hurt, she gives up looking for him. Derek returns back from deployment, having never forgotten Jenny, and is happy to run into her at the bar where she works. He pursues her hardcore and she gives in. They date and fall in love, but Jenny's afraid to tell him that she has a baby and he is the father. When he finds out, drama ensues, but they realize they were meant to be together and that their love is the most important thing.
I liked both Derek and Jenny. Yes, Derek had a history of manwhoring, but he wasn't with anyone else after he met and fell for Jenny, even during his 18 month deployment. He was crazy about her and only wanted her. Jenny, I liked as well. She was strong and put her daughter first. I understood her fear about Derek, but she still should have him earlier about his baby. She was only 18 though and she knew she had made a mistake by not telling him. She just felt like it was going to worse and worse to tell him the longer time passed. I felt like Derek's feelings were very real and honest about missing out on his daughter's life. I did feel like they both should have communicated more, but I wasn't as bothered as I could have been by that. I felt the love and connection between them. They were a good couple and I was glad they got their happy ever after together. This was my first read by Joanna Blake and I will definitely try her again in the future.

August 4, 2016My rating: negative -3 stars (unfortunately jagger could only save this book by 2 stars which still leaves it in the minuse catagory, it's sad really because he is awesome)
I loathed the heroine. She was a class act, a real see you next Tuesday. Who I ask you doesn't tell the father about his child, even if his the biggest slut she's heard of. She slept with him after all. Then she proceeds to date him all the while keeping this secret. So once the charade is discovered the hero has a perfectly reasonable reaction and dumps her.
Then after not learning her lesson about communicating, she runs away when she assumes he is back in the sluty saddle instead of asking him what's going on.
The author really ticked me off by then giving the hero these feelings of guilt and culpability. What, I ask did he do wrong, his reaction was completely justifed. The story would have been more palatable if the heroine had just given the hero time, and actually communicated with him after the initial whopper of a mistake.

DNF 25% read. And to be honest I can't believe I got this far. I hate wasting a book like I hate wasting food. But time is valuable I had to chuck in the towel. The story sounded interesting, the actual writing was horrible. I could not stand Jenny. Yeah she was 20, but she acted like she was 15. I found that both Jagger and Jenny both acted like the child it was frustrating. I mean how dumb would you have to be to not think something was up, when a women and baby keep avoiding you through the day, but bump like rabbits at night. Hmmm, this story did not make sense in a lot of ways. I'm disappointed I purchased this book. It's corny and tacky and very juvenile. Wouldn't recommend.

I really enjoyed this book.
It was different from the books Joanna has recently released but it was very enjoyable.
It was a sweet and sexy read that you wont want to miss out on reading.
Jagger is all alpha hotness with a massive heart and Jenny is a beautiful feisty lady and when they get together its off the charts hotness and super sweet moments all rolled in to one.
There's a few twists in the story to add to the suspense and keep you on your toes.
I really hope Joanna does more books like this again as I for one loved it.

Any heroine, who has a baby, and keeps it from the guy, and if I remember correctly because she didn't wan't to "Lose him", it also a big no go.
I get it, when you first see your one night stand again after a long deployment, your not going to be like "hey I had your baby", but she goes on dates with him. SHE EVEN SEES HIM THE Store, with the child.
Come on?
I couldn't enjoy this, even for the smut because torpedo.....

2.5 Star.
There wasn't anything wrong with this book, it just wasn't one that could hold my attention. I skimmed through most of it. The extra books at the end were a nice bonus.

Such a cheesy book. Very juvenile behavior between the two main characters. This book feels like a high schooler wrote this.

A nice, enoyable and short novel. The heroine was kinda stupid though.

I didn't love this book as much as I thought I would. I was pumped about the whole secret baby thing but I REALLY wanted Jenny to reveal her secret sooner! It was drawn out way too long & slowed the story down for me.
I really liked Jagger. He was sexy, sweet & his filthy mouth was a total turn on. His confession about wanting to breed Jenny... Definitely panty-melting. I actually admired the fact that he had the balls to walk away from Jenny for a short amount of time too. She was in the wrong & he was successful in letting her know that. I also admit to having a lil' Top Gun fantasy about him. *fans herself* (I mean, how could you not?)
I liked Jenny too, just not half as much as I did Jagger. He was a scene-stealer... obviously.
Very pleased that these two got their HEA but wished it would've happened a bit faster.
Side Note: WTFrak was up with Jenny's dad & the belt?!

I don't know where to start with how this book went wrong for me aside from the editing.
Could be the completely immature h. Could be the truth she kept hidden for entirely to long and was upset that he was angry with her!
Could be the timeline being wishy washy, has it been 18 months or 2 years? Either way the kid should of been talking a little bit, let alone crawling. Eating some solid foods!
The underage drinking in establishments was a real head scratcher. Pump and dump? How about a man sucking on your breasts would have expressed milk!
The sex scenes were weird. Squealing? Is she a piglet? Porn star worthy blow job from a sheltered just outside of virginity first timer?
Was he on emergency leave from the military when he just up and left to chase her down?
As you can see, the book was frustrating. I liked Jagger (did she understand he had a first name?) but the other characters not so much.

It has many redeeming qualities. The characters were likable at best neutral at worst. The writing was much better than expected. I developed an interest that withstood to the end. The plot was nice, somewhat original or had its own unique flair. The writing was good, and the pretense wasn’t half bad, the romance was simmering with few exceptions. The male/female lead showed hints of abuse both verbal and/or physical or signs of spot-on or forced chemistry. It was a tiny bit predictable. Overall, liked it enough, entertaining.

With a title like "Cockpit" I expected there to be some flying scenes but there really weren't any. Seems odd to me that the author chose that name for the book when it really didn't have much to do with the story. I didn't care for either one of the main characters, especially Jenny, who came across as really young and immature. The whole "insta-love" aspect didn't feel believable and the whole book left me feeling "meh". Not my cup of tea I guess!!

3 short stories
I really have an issue when a book is listed as a full novel but isn't. The first story "cockpit" was actually a pretty good story. Then I realized that I wasn't 1/2 way through and it was over. The "bonus" books really are just more short stories that never made it to full novels. Not worth the money!

Wow... just WOW. I don't know what to say. Jagger was OK but Jenny had to be the worst mother in the history of all books.
What mother would
This had so much potential but the story ended at 36% on my kindle.
