Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a decent sized, romantic, steamy novel that I didn't mind being thrown into.

Both MCs are single parents, rich, but feel something is missing. When they meet, sparks fly, tensions also come to a head, but a HEA is always guaranteed in the end.

And that's basically it. I enjoyed the romance, but wasn't entirely - how should I say - feeling connected to the characters - although I could understand their struggles of being single parents.

It all felt like a brady bunch remake, in a novel version. But a good kind I suppose.

But maybe this is a sign that I should just back to my dark romances haha. Who knows?

Until the next read,

What an amazing end to this Cockpit series! Take Me Home was a fantastic single parents romance! Loved Shiloh and Axel's insta connection/ slowburn to a HEA! Their love for each other's little girls was amazing! Awesome ending! So sad to see the end of this series! Looking forward to see what these two authors bring next!

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so sad to see this series end. I have enjoyed each and every book; each Parker sibling has their own individual personalities which makes for an original story. Yes, each sibling is a pilot but that is only a small part of who they are. In fact, I love them all so much I don't think I could name a favorite character.

Shiloh has been trying to prove herself to her father all her life. Sadly, Shiloh's dad had an archaic way of thinking; he should protect his daughter and give his son's all his experience. Well, let's just say that Shiloh is not going to stand for that and in the final book of the series, the Parker patriarch has seen the error of his ways and made the grandest of gestures. Well deserved.

The romance between Shiloh and Axel was a bit fast with an insta love/lust feel to it. However, despite their nearly immediate chemistry, they got to know and highly respect each other over the course of the book and that was the strongest positive aspect for me. I won't give any more information other than what I mentioned here. If you have been following the Cockpit series from the start, I believe you will love this final installment. And while I'm so sad to say goodbye to the Parkers, the author has promised they will make appearances here and there in her following novels.

If you are new to the series, I highly recommend starting at the beginning. Doing so will truly give you a greater appreciation of Shiloh and all she has accomplished. I absolutely recommend this series!

While I received and advanced reading copy of Take Me Home,this review is honest and unbiased and I thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

I couldn’t wait for Shilohs story and I am in love. These authors did it again. Will gladly read anything by these two!

Shiloh is the only girl out of all her siblings and she fights to prove her worth both in the family business Parker Airlines and as a single mom. As a last minute flight leaves her world turned upside down when she’s so attracted to a passenger. Axel is a single dad and professional football player who is trying to get home to his daughter. Their chemistry is off the charts. And the spice is even steamier. What these two go through and almost lose will melt your heart.

If you have not read this series please check them out. You will not be disappointed. Can’t wait to see what these two come up with next!

I received this arc and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Take Me Home has been the story I have been waiting for and both Shiloh and the authors did not disappoint. Two single parents who have put their girls first find themselves drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. Their fast paced romance gives us everything we need from hot steamy scenes to heartfelt tender moments. There is witty banter, feisty confrontations and just enough sass and attitude or should I say altitude. Their story shows us just how far these two will go to ensure that the people they love are cared for. An absolute beautiful love story that warms your heart and gives you butterflies as these two fall head over heels in love.

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review. If you've been following the series, you'd see familiar characters as this is a close knit family and you'll definitely feel the heartwarming feelings, support and love of family. Shiloh is also the last single sibling, balancing her responsibility of being a single parent, daughter/sister, career and she is such a strong and sassy person that you want to see her find her HEA. So reading about her finding her HEA with Axel who is such a great guy with the same priorities of family, just made me smile. The epilogue was different yet fit just right for this family. A great wrap up to the series and I'm sad we won't be seeing more of them. Definitely worth reading if you want a straight forward low angst easy to read romance with strong elements of family.

OMG folks, I can't even describe how much I loved this book. I already loved all the others in this series but this one, this just made my heart flutter a little bit more and brought so much joy. Shiloh and Axel´s story was beyond what I have awaited. It was simply perfect. Two single parents wanting the best for their kids yet trying to achieve their goals within their career path.They both just fit wonderfully together and I enjoyed every single bit of their story. And the cherry on top were both kiddos, because let's just be honest, kids are always sweet.Well, and I forgot one little detail, the attraction ..le sigh..was steaming hot ;) If those both ladies know something, then it's to write amazing and spicy stories.

[Isabel Debono · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book for me really targeted the importance of family.
Shiloh is the last of the siblings to find her HEA.
Being a single mother and balancing responsibilities all take their toll... even with a supportive family.
Axel is in a similar situation and these two just seemed perfect.
This was a simple easy to read romance.
Great wrap up to an amazing series.

I was given an ARC but voluntarily chose to review

LOVED! A great way to end a series. Shiloh finally got her happy ending with Axel. I love how they adopted 2 boys in the end.

[Misty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been waiting for Shiloh's story. I love the whole series. I wish I was apart of the Parker family. They are so loving, supportive and caring for each other.
Axel and Shiloh, everything happened so fast. But they are the best. Axel is the best single dad raising his daughter. Fate brought them together. I love it so much!

[Marni Ortiz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Take Me Home is the 6th book in the Cockpit Series ( a series that I have so quickly come to love ) I couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion. If you are a fan of single parent romances that are filler with emotion, angst, off the charts chemistry, intrigue, slow burn , insta Love , family , friends and many surprises then you are not going to want to miss this wonderfully written story , a story that will grab onto all your emotions and quickly pull you in .Shilo and Axel are both single parents , both very career driven but still the most amazing parents . I just adored them from the moment I met them. Both so likable and so relatable. From the moment they meet you could feel the undeniable attraction and the off the charts chemistry they shared . It’s not often I come across such a heartfelt love story that has the ability to make me feel as many crazy emotions as this one did , it truly is a emotional rollercoaster, it’s sexy , and fun and addictive and just perfect

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a ride this has been and what a story to end the series on! I have been desperate for Shiloh's story since we first met her and it was everything I had hoped it would be and more!

Shiloh has always felt she had to prove herself, being the only daughter/sister she felt her Dad didn't take her as seriously as her brothers. She is strong,  focused, she has to be to balance work and being a single parent and has no time for a personal life. When her brother needs her to take a last minute flight initially she is reluctant but then she meets her passenger!

Axel needs to get back from his NFL game quickly he promised his daughter he would be there for her show and she will always come first. When Axel meets his pilot the sparks are flying instantly!

I have adored this series from the very beginning and I can't believe it's come to an end but what an ending it was. There were tears......happy tears!

[Alharaca · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the book. Is sweet and amazing with incredible characters and writing. We get to see glimpses of the other brothers. And got to know the perfect match to Shiloh that will have you swooning. Definitely a must read and easy to fall in love.

[reader_dreamer_4life · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final Parker Airlines flight has landed and oh how bittersweet it was.
I have loved and devoured every book in the Cockpit series and Take Me Home was no exception.
This time it's time for Shiloh, the final Parker sibling to find her HEA and I couldn't have loved it any more.
Single parents Shiloh and Axel share an instantaneous spark which quickly turns into an insta love/lust vibe.
Axel may have had a quick A**hat moment at the start but oh my swoooooon. I absolutely adored this man. And..... his relationship with the little girls, oh how my ovaries ached. So sweet!
Shiloh, I adored her love for nature and the environment and her sweet relationship with her daughter. And you can't help but admire her strength and determination in proving to her dad that she was more than capable to lead Parker Airlines. You go boss babe!

Take Me Home is another truly beautiful addition to the Cockpit series. You will laugh, swoon, smile and go through just a sprinkling of angst.

A Must Read! You could read as a standalone but..... If you are new to the series, I can't recommend enough that you start at the beginning. Believe me you won't regret it!

Happy Flying!!

“Take Me Home”, the last of the Parker Airlines Saga (Book 6- I’ll still keep my fingers crossed lol) by Britney Bell and Hannah Blake was a sweet and satisfying finish to a series I’ve loved since the beginning. This series is actually where I came to know and love this wonderful writing duo’s work! Shiloh Parker and Axel Bledsoe’s first meet met with some turbulence but it didn’t take long for things to take off (see what I did there lol). I really enjoyed this glimpse into single parenthood with these two busy professionals- how they move somewhat seamlessly into a perfectly blended and loving family. This book is packed with fun, adventure, strength and sass and plenty of steamy encounters! Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the flight. ~Angie❤️

Shiloh has spent her life trying to prove she’s just as good as her brothers. Even though she’s a single mom, she pulls her weight at the family business Parker Airlines. But when she has to take a last minute flight, she isn’t expecting to be so attracted to the passenger, even if he acts like a a-hole. Axel was just trying to get home to his daughter, not get trapped with the most beautiful women he’s ever seen. Their chemistry is off the charts, but the world tries to pull them apart, and the fact that Shiloh has been hurt before, makes her afraid to fight.

[Mzlegz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shiloh!!! Yes...she did that with all of her personal touches!! Was Axel ready for her? Not if their first meeting was any indication but he got his head right (HA - no pun intended!!). I loved the dynamic of this relationship and have to say this may be my favorite Parker story. There was even a moment where a tear or two was shed and PLENTY of moments that had me cracking up!! The flavor is spicy so beware. There were a couple of things that were confusing at times such as Skye's age and the milestones she should have reached if her calculated age was indeed what I thought; and Dakota's age. Something else was the location of her apartment and being able to hear the car horn from down below.
I received a free review copy of this book and I'm leaving an honest review.

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shiloh and Axel are both single parents with ambitions to keep their careers. I loved that both are career driven but are still portrait as great parents. These two just seem to fit together. I have really enjoyed this series, though sad to see it come to end. Each of the Parker sibling stories have been great. This last one didn’t disappoint, was as great as all of the others. Totally recommend reading this and the complete series.

[Summerlynn83_reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have loved this series from the prequel. So to say I had some high expectations was an understatement, especially since Shiloh is the only girl and seemed to struggle to receive the recognition that she deserved.
Shiloh was a spitfire from the beginning and I loved that she didn’t lose any of that in her own book. The fact that she stood up for herself, could be an amazing single mom and still kick butt in the corporate world made me so happy!
Axle rubbed me the wrong way when he first came on the scene and it took a bit for me to warm up to him but after a few chapters he got my attention.
The two of them together was such an easy, sweet read. I love the emphasis on family that has always taken the forefront of this series and that it remained that way until the end.

[Victoria Wyatt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shiloh and Axel melt my heart, single parents career driven but still great solid parents. When they get together there is so much chemistry and I really enjoyed this story. I really enjoy a good single parent read. Very enjoyable story.

[E. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super cute short read! I love the characters and the storyline. What a great 6th book in this series.

[Jenn the Readaholic · Rating 3 out of 5]

Shiloh and Axel gave a perfect glimpse into dating as a single parent. Sure, they each had money and privilege, but they also had the same worries every parent does. And the stress of going it alone, even with a supportive family in place for both of them. And yet, these two managed to almost mess things up before finding true happiness. Okay, so one of them almost messed it up…but communication saved the day here, in a big way!

I’ve never really cared for Shiloh’s parents, and this book gave me some good to go along with the bad that they tend to deliver. They’re both judgmental and her father obviously felt she was lacking in every way, until she stepped up and refused to be pushed aside for a less capable sibling to be put in the position of basking in the good changes she made. I did appreciate her father finally catching a clue, but he sure kept me on edge about liking him at ALL for the entire series!

Overall, this was a good way to wrap up the siblings and their stories. And it helped that Axel and Shiloh both found their forever in each other along the way.

I was so excited to finally get Shiloh's book. But this book was riddled with errors and this author needs some good beta readers and a much better editor. She should also be rereading her own copy before it goes out. Even with all that I loved Shiloh's love story with Axel,

Axel and Shiloh are both single parents with daughters that are the whole focus of their lives. Both also have demanding careers that require a lot of their time. When they first meet things get off to a very rocky start but it isn't long before a relationship develops.

With Shiloh's career firmly rooted in her family's private airline company in Texas and Axel playing football for the Texas Tornados things work out great as they both finally begin to put past hurts aside and allow themselves the love they deserve. But what will happen when Axel is traded to another team several states away?

I am just incredibly disappointed that there were so many typos and errors, which are still present in the finished Amazon copy, the most blatant one being the age and abilities of Shiloh's daughter. An eighteen month old isn't just beginning to rock back and forth on all fours and she sure won't allow you to lay her on a play mat and actually stay there. Errors around Skye's age and abilities were consistant throughout the book. The additional typos and improper wording of phrases was also ridiculous. Axel refers to his girls as 'them three'. Specific details weren't well tracked - Axel was 6'5 in the beginning of the book and before the end he grew two inches. Wrong words were also riddled throughout. A few decent beta readers should have caught all of these as well as any editor worth her fees.

Axel is left a single dad when the mother of his child drops the baby off on his family's doorstep on the night of his draft into the NFL. He debates quitting football, but decides that with his family he can take care of the little girl and have his career.
Shiloh was abandoned by her baby's father as soon as he found out she was pregnant but with the help of her family she is raising the baby and working at her family's airline. She takes a last minute trip and ends up flying Axel home from Denver following one of his games. He is rude to her at first, but she stands strong and soon they have a relationship. Will these two willing souls be able to put away the hurt of the past to find their future together?
I loved both main characters in this story. Axel is the perfect book boyfriend, almost from the beginning he was referring to Shiloh and Skye as his other girls and that was so sweet. And Shiloh is always doing for others and while she thinks they don't see it, they most certainly do!

[Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

MC: Shiloh (pilot, works in family airplane company) and Axel (football player, quarterback)

Thoughts: This was a good story, Axel does not give Shiloh a good first impression, but that is quickly remedied when she finds out why he behaved the way he did. Their relationship does progress quickly (the book is less than 150 pages) but we are able to see them fall in love, we aren't just told and left to wonder how. The importance of family is stressed and they each thankfully have a good support system from their families to help them with their girls, since they are both single parents.

Book notes: Spicy, Single-parents, First person POV from both Shiloh and Axel, Eco-friendly camper, Korean BBQ NY

Related books: This is the 6th and last book of the Cockpit Series written by both authors; this is also the first book in the Take Me Home series by Britney Bell about Axel's football team. I did not read any of the books in either series and was able to follow along well.

I received an ARC copy of the book and this is my honest review.

[Rosa Dunahue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Take Me Home is fantastic single parent romance. Shiloh is single mother who flys for her family airline. She also has little daughter she is raising on her own. Axel gets a surprise at the door in the form of a daughter. Now after a bad game he flys home to be with his daughter because of a promise he made her. But they get grounded and spend the night together despite Axel being a jerk at the start. But this is only the start their journey and when Axel is offered to traded team, he will have to decide what to do about their future.

[Lia Lorimer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this to be quite an inconsistent book and didn’t appreciate the ‘open door’ bedroom scenes, or that they were taking place so soon into them getting acquainted.
Both Shiloh and Axel are high achievers in their respective careers and, as single parents, have some underlying feelings of not being able to fulfill their parental roles fully. Despite this, they appear to continue to use their parents as primary care-givers of their daughters.
An adequate read if you want to escape reality. I received a free review copy via StoryOrigin and this is my honest opinion.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I love the Parkers, especially the brothers, but I sure love seeing Shiloh with a man for once! It's not always about the boys!! I love Axel--he's a cool dude. This is a great "end" to the Parker Airlines series, and a great beginning to a new series about the footballers. Can't wait to read more. Somewhere in there, I missed a couple of the Parker brothers' stories, so it's time to go back and read the ones I missed and read more of this new series as well. This has been a fun ride on Parker Airlines! :-)

[Marilyn Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Axel is a NFL player raising his daughter alone. Shiloh is a single mother raising her daughter after the father walked way. He chartered a plane to get to his daughters dance recital and she’s to fly it until they get stranded at the airport. They have sparks at first and soon end up together for the night. But then go their own ways even though they think of each other! Will they get together again and see where it leads? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[Chloe · Rating 3 out of 5]

I absolutely love the rest of the series but this book just didn't do it for me. The ideas behind it were good but the story didn't flow for me. Skye went for being 1 and a half at the start of the book then more like a 6 month baby in the middle then back to walking and holding dakotas hand then back to a baby
