A series of chance encounters leads to
a sizzling new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On
Dublin Street series.

The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. As if flying back to Phoenix
to bury a childhood friend wasn’t hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash
traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch
attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott,
who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their
journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest
layover Ava’s ever had. And that’s all it was–until Caleb shows up on her
doorstep.

When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb’s orbit, he proposes they enjoy
their physical connection while he’s stranded in Boston. Ava agrees, knowing
her heart’s in no danger since a) she barely likes Caleb and b) his existence
in her life is temporary. Not long thereafter Ava realizes she’s made a
terrible error because as it turns out Caleb Scott isn’t quite so unlikeable
after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether
to fight her feelings for him or give into them. But even if she does decide to
risk her heart on Caleb, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to
risk his heart on her….

My Review:

Lately I’ve
been addicted to reading Contemporary Romance novels. I just can’t seem to get
enough of them! And I love Samantha Young! I read her Hart’s Boardwalk series,
and a view of her other books and I just loved them all. So when ‘Fight or
Flight’ came up on my Kindle as a buy suggestion I knew I just had to have a
copy. And don’t you just love that cover?
In ‘Fight
or Flight’ we meet Ava Breevort. Ava is trying to get away from her old
hometown as fast as she cans after burying her childhood friend. Unfortunately
a cloud of volcanic ash in Europe has made problems for all flights and Ava’s
flight is delayed. This wouldn’t be the worst thing ever, but Ava is forced to sit
next to a very rude Scotsman Caleb Scott. Ava and Caleb bump heads in
everything. But there is a physical attraction between the two of them they
both can’t deny. And when fate seems to force them together they find
themselves in a passionate affair.. but it’s sex only. They still can’t stand
each other.. Obviously!
From the
moment I started reading ‘Fight and Flight’ I was hooked. I never have a lot
problems with ‘seeing’ the book in my mind while reading, but with this one it
was like I was watching a movie from the very start. I just was hooked to these
pages and didn’t want to stop reading. (Baby girls nap time definitely came in
handy!) Not only was this book romantic, sexy and filled with great characters
I also found myself smiling a lot. There was definitely humor but also some
heartbreak. Yep, this book was an emotional rollercoaster!
The two
main characters Ava and Caleb were really fun to get to know. They both have
had their share of grieve over the years and they both have lost faith in love.
And I just loved the way these characters where with each other. Especially in
the beginning they didn’t like each other at all and they both make assumptions
based on each other’s looks. Assumptions you can imagine having yourself too.
The chemistry between Ava and Caleb just flew from the pages and I just couldn’t
get enough of them. This book definitely gave me all the feels and not only
because of the romance, but because this book just had it all.
Not only
the two main characters where great, the other characters in the book were also
very fun to read about and it makes me hope for new books about them. Ava’s best
friend Harper definitely deserves her own book. And Caleb’s brother Jamie..
Well, let me tell you I have their story all figured out in my head!! LOL.
If you
didn’t already love Samantha Young, ‘Fight and Flight’ will definitely make you
love her. I’m already looking for my next Samantha Young read!
