“I wouldn’t ask you to change the world for me

“I wouldn’t ask you to change the world for me. I’d expect we’d do it together.”
⠀⠀
If you’ve been with us through this journey you know we love our strong female characters. But what we also love is writing our heroes as equals, as someone who stands next to our heroines. We’ve never written a weak male lead and to imply that a man has to be weak in order for a female to be strong is a narrative we must change.

PIN-UP PILOT shows this change and what can be accomplished when partners stand together, when they work together as equals.

We may have written a romance, but trust us when we say it’s so much more than that. Check it out when it lands on Kindles May 31st. ✈️

”A beautiful self-redemption story focused on both the strength and the fragility of redefining yourself. Claire Raye reaches down and pulls out a voice for women everywhere through her unfiltered and emotional characterization. This is a story that demands to be heard.”

⠀⠀
Reid and Sienna are killing us...still! So much angst and we think you’re going to love it!

So ARCs of PIN-UP PILOT went out on Sunday. It always makes us nervous, but even more so with this book.
⠀⠀
This book is part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero Club world and if you’ve read any of these books you’ll know we went rogue. We wrote a cocky heroine.
⠀⠀
But when we read reviews like this, we’re completely humbled and overjoyed to know our story reached someone. That someone hears us. ⠀⠀
“Oh wow, what a #GirlPower book that was for me. I've read close to 900 books in my life and that's the first time I've ever come across one that has such a strong Girl Power vibe...
⠀⠀
And even though this was supposed to be a romance novel, it was so much more than that. But the romance was so sweet and refreshing and poignant in both characters' development. It was slow burn for sure, but so satisfying to watch and experience. And when it exploded, it EXPLODED!!!!
⠀⠀
Pin-Up Pilot might be one of the best additions to the Cocky Hero Club of the stories I've read so far and I can't rave enough about it. #GIRLPOWERSUCKERZ”
⠀⠀
This isn’t the whole review because it’s too long for Instagram 😂, but be still our hearts. Thank you @ele_the_obsessive_bookworm for loving our cocky girl Alexa. ❤️

“Reid pushes closer to me, his mouth almost touching mine and my body begins to war against itself. Fuck I want him, but I also want to shove him away and tell him to get fucked.”
