Cockpit Christmas
Six hot pilots are ready and waiting for you to take off with them! Pack your bags and get to the airport! It’s time to join the mile high club with a brand new romance series starting this Christmas!
Caroline loves Christmas because it’s the one time of year that she’s guaranteed to have all her kids together under one roof. They’d been coming to their winter cabin in Switzerland ever since her first born arrived, and it became a tradition the whole family clung to. This year everything changes when tension snow piles from her middle son bringing his first serious girlfriend along and all of her other children expressing their individuality in ways she isn’t prepared for.
Harvey doesn’t do days off, he’s not the vacation type, but it’s been a tough year as owner of Parker Airlines. He is so ready to spend some quality time with his wife. Much as he’d never admit it, his relationship with aviation came before his marriage one too many times this year. He is determined to make this Christmas all about his family, yet Mother Nature has a different plan and disaster strikes.
Can the Parker family weather the storm?
Grab this festive, must read if you love heartwarming Christmas stories with a sprinkling of sexy.

Six hot pilots at a Christmas cabin! Really that’s enough said, but this little novella is so much more than that. It’s packed full of love, family, winter weather and cozy fires. I highly suggest grabbing it today!

Cockpit Christmas is the prequel to a brand-new series. In this book, told in the perspectives of Caroline and Harvey; parents to six grown children. The Parker family spends their Christmas holidays together. That is a family rule. Each of the Parker kids will have their own book. I must say that I am very excited for this series. I loved all the characters. Each of the Parker family members has their own individual personas. Each intense, and complex.
While this book is basically a short novella, introducing the series and it's staring members, I thought it was very well written. All the feels are present. The family dynamic of the Parkers are love and loyalty first and foremost. I really am looking forward to the first sibling getting his book. I don't think I have ever read a series where the whole family are pilots. They are established travelers, obviously. An aspect I truly look forward to is watching these pilots travel the world. Just from this novella, I believe the author will do an amazing job with scene setting. Her writing is believable and engaging.
I recommend this book, highly. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.!
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

This was a fantastic Christmas Novella! I was only a couple of pages in and I knew I was going to love it. Caroline and Harvey are looking forward to spending Christmas with their family. Their 6 grown up children all lead busy lives but they always spend their Christmas vacation in the Swiss mountains. This is a fantastic insight into the rest of the series and can't wait for the next book in the series.

This book was about values on Christmas. What matters the most and that love and getting together is the most precious gift. The story was greatly written and is a start to a new Cocpit series, which after reading this short novella I would definitely read. With a little twist it has been the perfect tune in for the season.

A family of pilots come together for their annual Christmas gathering in the Swiss mountains. Each one is battling their own demands and disappointments, but family is everything. Cockpit Christmas is a prequel to a new series that I am anxiously awaiting. I anticipate love, conflict, and steamy scenes.

The story was too short, I want more! I loved this Christmas Novella. Everyone is so busy but they still make time to see each other for Christmas. This is a great introduction to the Parker family. You'll definitely want to read the other books after this.

This novella was as heartwarming as a mug of homemade hot cocoa with extra mini marshmallows! Perfect for the Christmas time setting of the short read!
It is not often, when reading series based on siblings that authors take the time to focus mainly on the parents. Harvey and Caroline built not only their airline empire but their strongly rooted family. This book has beautifully set up the introduction to their children. It shows different key points of each child’s personality introducing them but at the same time, still promising more to dive into and expand upon in the upcoming books.
While it is wonderful for the ladies to provide glimpses into the children for our introductions, they were able to flawlessly write Harvey and Caroline’s love story in a few short chapters. Caroline calls out to all the ladies that want to be strong and powerful in the business world, to be able to stand by her husband as an equal but to also know that the heart lies at home with a full house and people to love. And Harvey... swoon! He is fierce and has a tough exterior as he has to for being a man who grew an empire; however, he knows he needs his wife and children to be fulfilled. And of course we all want a man who will look at us that same way when we’re 56!
“You were the one who wore that dress. Tell me you don’t want more, and I’ll stop.” That was a lie, the entire Chinese army could march in here right now, but they wouldn’t be able to stop me from making love to my wife.
Wonderful start to what I know is going to be a series that pulls at my heart strings and deal with real life situations, but will bring all of us readers back to what should really be focused on in life. Beautiful ladies!!

I’m loving The Parkers in this Cockpit Series!! Woowee what drama came to visit them for Christmas but was quickly handled before she came up missing!! Paige just didn’t know what kind of hornets nest she stirred up in this close knit family!! There were SO many good quotes, but I think this one may be one of my top three favorites...’Be yourself and you will never go out of fashion’. Words to live by. Looking forward to reading Liam’s story next...

This prequel to the Cockpit series has me flying high and strapped in for this series. A great introduction that gives you an insight to the family and the dramas that surround them in life and love. As the Parker family come together for Christmas, Caroline and Harvey re-evaluate what is important at this point in their life along with adjusting to the realization that their children are all grown up. As a storm brews inside and out, changes are looming and only time will tell if the Parker children will get their happily ever after just like their parents did. Don’t know about you but I’ve booked my flight with Parker Aviation and cannot wait to see where this trip takes me.

I absolutely loved Cockpit Christmas! Caroline and Harvey are looking forward to spending time with their grown children for Christmas. The family rule is The Parker family always spend Christmas together. Even though this was a short novella, it was well written and gave you enough insight on how the rest of the series will be. I loved all the Parker family and I just can't wait for the Cockpit Series!
December 2, 2019
The perfect prequel to the Cockpit Series! An amazing read for Christmas that gives you all the warm fuzzy feels. Can’t wait to read this whole series. These two authors will take us on a romance filled journey around the world and I’m on the edge of my seating waiting for the next book.

This is our introduction to the Parker family . It's a story about love & loyalty between a husband & his wife , & their children .
The Parkers are a strong unit , & the rule is that they always spend Christmas together in the families Swiss cabin. Even though their work keeps them apart for most of the year .

Family relationships can get messy. Cockpit Christmas is a wonderful story about a family coming together to celebrate Christmas traditions while struggling with conflicts amongst themselves. I am looking forward to getting to know the Packers better, in the upcoming Pilot series.

A short fast read that prequels to a new series based around the Parker family. This story sets the stage with a quick Christmas gathering at the family's mountain vacation home.
November 21, 2019
This is my first book by Britney Bell and C. Lesbirel and probably wont be my last either. I was lucky enough to win this book as an ARC, this book was the perfect novella to get you ready for the Christmas Holiday. It was about Caroline and Harvey, Harvey owns the Parker airlines, and they have six grown children. This book is defiantly getting you ready for the rest of the Cockpit Series. Al aboard grab those bags we are all going on a trip with the Parker Airlines!

What a cute concept for a story. It was fun and all about the family unit. I loved how the writers made the parents of the clan very much still in love after raising their family. I also appreciated that the husband was so attracted to his wife and couldn’t keep his hands off her. That was one of the highlights of the story for me.
Too many times older couples are depicted as no longer sexually active or one has lost interest in the other. Not the case here. Even with all the family drama, this couple was hot for each other.
I look forward to reading each of the children’s stories as they become available.

OMG this prequel Novella is starting it all... I can tell that I am going to LOVE this family. It feels like a big tease and a beautiful taste to what is coming. Mom (Caroline) and Dad (Harvey) are intriguing, spicy, and fun.
Dear dad is the patriarch running an Airline and the show, or so you think, until you experience what Mom has to say. She is all kinds of fierce mixed with heart. She loves and is protective of all her children. She has a classy momma bear quality about her. Can you tell I have bonded with this character? Haha.
Caroline and Harvey have a beautiful story to tell with all their grown children peppered throughout. You see that they not only have a great love but they are amazing parents. Eek. Hope you feel my excitement cause I enjoyed this read and look forward to more.
Oh the cover is a bit misleading. This couple is mature obviously if they have grown children. Yeah. My happy dance is happening. It is another thing that makes me like this book. I love when characters over fifty have an interesting and sexy story to tell. Wink.
The icing on the cake is that it is set at Christmas time. Christmas and family really do go hand in hand. Definitely some of my favorite qualities for an exceptional story. Happy Reading Everyone!

This serves as the perfect introduction to the Parker family. We get a glimpse of everyone’s personality, how everyone gets along, and hints of underlying tension and angst. Caroline was a tad too judgmental a couple of times, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing some evolving as the series wears on. And Harvey needs to see his daughter as more than a little girl, but again...I’m sure we’ll see that. Overall, I think this is a great way to see who will likely take on what role in each story.

Author: C. Lesbirel and Britney Bell
Genre: Contemporary romance
My rating: 5 Stars
Had a great time reading this wonderful story. It’s a quick read that’s fast paced full of laughter and lots of love. The story starts with the Parker's: a loving couple who effortlessly model what a husband and wife truly stand for. “Family first and loyalty being their motto.” I loved how no matter how much time flew by their love never wavered. Really fun watching the whole family dynamic unfold. Can’t wait to see what these authors have in store next. I highly recommend reading.

This novella is the perfect introduction to the Parker family. I loved meeting this family, getting glimpses into what's going on in all of their lives, and really seeing their dynamic. I love Harvey and Caroline, and I really enjoyed reading about their family and getting some snapshots of what it was like for them to start their successful airline business. All of the siblings are also wonderful - I'm anxiously awaiting Shiloh's book, because that girl is a total spitfire, and I totally love it - and I can't wait to see how their stories go.
This was a great way to meet this family, and at my favorite time of the year, too!
