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!
When they both land in Boston, Ava and Caleb went their separate ways but somehow fate brought them back together. They decide to have a casual relationship since Caleb is only in town on business for a couple of weeks but things never work out as you have plan. The two of them get to know each other better and find out about some of each other's past. But both of them are scare of relationships and commitment and seem to agree that they don't want these things.
When Caleb is promoted and moves from Scotland to Boston, he and Ava spend quite a lot of time together and what they really have is a relationship! When they realize what has happened, they are not sure what to do. They each must deal with their tragic past and hopefully get through it and build on their own relationship!
Great story with humor, sarcasm, painful pasts and a sexy Scot!
From the second Caleb and Ava met, I was 100% invested. I wanted to know everything about them. It was crazy and intense in the beginning with their hate-lust attraction but it completely drew me in with this antagonistic banter and I wanted to know why they were the way they were. I was so hooked! I am a huge fan of animosity between characters but these two took it to a whole new level.
I love how the story was laid out, there was spectacular character development as we learn about Ava, her past and struggles. Ava was tough, loyal, and in pain and I felt like I experienced it all right along with her. As for Caleb, he was gruff, brusque, and hard. The man has a series edge to him. There are all these small, building moments with vulnerability and openness and the more I learned about him, the more I loved.
I thought the build and pace to the story was amazing and the descriptions were spot on. There was emotion and drama, heat and love. The push and pull Caleb and Ava had between them was tense and hot all rolled into one. In addition, there were truly wonderful secondary characters making the story even richer. I thought it was all really well thought out. Sometimes I'd have to take a deep breath while reading because I was so caught up in everything. And that ending, I was so stressed out waiting for these two to get their HEA. And all the emotion... it was killing me in a fan-freaking-tastic kind of way.
This book honestly consumed me and almost felt like an indulgence. I was so caught up in Caleb and Ava's relationship, hooked on the drama, emotion, and passion. I couldn't get enough. Loved every second! One of my favorite reads of the year!

Ava und Caleb sind einfach ein richtig tolles Paar, die sich am Anfang fetzen wie die Kesselflicker. Der Schlagabtausch zwischen den beiden ist einfach erfrischend zu lesen, und trotzdem merkt man schon nach ein paar Seiten, dass die beiden eine ganz andere Seite am anderen zum Vorschein bringen. Trotz ihrer gegenseitigen Vorurteile, beschließen beide, sich auf einen One-Night-Stand einzulassen. Und hier wird schnell deutlich, dass zwischen den beiden eine unglaubliche Chemie besteht... 😍
Beide sind sehr eigensinnige Charaktere und fest davon überzeugt, dass sie keine Beziehung wollen, haben beide doch in der Vergangenheit sehr schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Als das Schicksal die beiden wieder zueinander führt, beschließen sie, der gegenseitigen Anziehung weiter nachzugeben und sich auf eine reine Sex-Beziehung einzulassen. Irgendwann erkennen beide, dass der andere viele liebenswerte Eigenschaften hat und sich zwischen ihnen eine tolle Freundschaft entwickelt hat - mit gewissen Vorzügen versteht sich - und je besser die beiden sich kennen lernen, umso schwieriger wird es, ihre gegenseitigen Gefühle füreinander zu verbergen...
Samantha Young enttäuscht auch mit diesem Roman nicht und untermauert ihre Spitzenposition bei meinen Lieblingsautoren mit diesem Roman wieder einmal mühelos. Mit Ava und Caleb hat sie zwei Charaktere geschaffen, die äußerlich einiges zu bieten haben, und sich mühelos die Stirn bieten um ihren Mann, bzw. ihre Frau zu stehen. Mit der Zeit erkennt man aber recht schnell, dass unter der harten äußeren Schale ein sehr weicher Kern mit emotional starken Hintergrundgeschichten steckt, was die beiden unglaublich liebenswert macht. Die tolle Freundschaft, die sich zwischen den beiden entwickelt, und die auch die positiven Eigenschaften der beiden zum Vorschein bringt, ist einfach spannend und herzerfrischend zu lesen und gehört - neben der eigentlichen Liebesgeschichte - zu meinen persönlichen Highlights dieses Buches. Außerdem sind die Figuren bis in die Nebencharaktere hervorragend ausgearbeitet und wie ich finde sehr real und sympathisch. Und zu guter Letzt muss ich an dieser Stelle einfach nochmal die unglaubliche Chemie erwähnen, die die Autorin zwischen ihren beiden Hauptcharakteren erschafft, das macht sie hier wirklich meisterlich, keine Frage.
Daher kann ich gar nicht anders und gebe diesem Roman verdiente 5 Sterne und freue mich schon auf das nächste Buch von Samantha Young, dass sicherlich auch wieder auf meinem eReader landen wird.
Caleb's view of Ava isn't much better. As far as he is concerned, she is a very vain, high maintenance stuck up woman. She is also stunningly beautiful with an amazing figure.
The attraction and dislike are in even measures. I found it hilarious that Ava thought of Caleb as Bastard Scott 😂
After having being diverted on their journey to Boston, they both end up staying overnight at the airport waiting for connecting flights the next morning. Ava decides that she is going to have a nice relaxing night with a meal in the hotel restaurant. A group of businessmen decide that she obviously needs company and after a couple of them unsuccessfully try it on with Ava, Caleb decides to come to her rescue by sitting at her table. His presence is enough to put them off, and the pair start talking. The attraction between them is ever present.
The pair end up spending some time together getting on better than they thought they would, before going their separate ways. Fate on the other hand has a different idea as they keep crossing paths.
Some really good humour in this story, along with some heartwrenching backgrounds to all the characters. I would love to hear Jamie's story, perhaps him and Harper getting together? Great standalone book.

I was absolutely thrilled to receive this amazing, most exciting book ever. Written by one of my complete favourite author, Samantha Young. Such a wonderful romantic tale for Ava Breevort’s adventure through her young life. I certainly adored this exciting tale!
As Ava Breevort stood waiting at the airport in Arizona her stomach grumbled with hunger as looked over the foods and drinks available. She was feeling so stressed and uncomfortable and nervous about her seat arrangement. This was always an fear of flying she had. It made her feel uncomfortable about this entire situation. Stressing now about this entire journey she was having. She was emotional and completely exhausted.
Walking up to the front desk she saw a large man who knocked me completely over. He was very impolite. As Ava quickly noticed he was going to be on the same flight too. Of cause he was asking to be upgraded as well. Hearing this made Ava even more angrier now.
Noticing now this man was even good looking and dressed gorgeously. A Scottish man who pushed her over and took away her seat to sit in first class too. She wasn’t angry anymore, she was pissed off.
I completely adored this marvellous book. Such a truly hilarious tale. I thoroughly enjoyed the such brilliant characters. A brilliant beautiful romance too. I just loved it so much!!
Congratulations Samantha Young!!
* I recommend this book to everyone!!
