FIGHT OR FLIGHT by Samantha Young | Book Review

Review copy provided by the publisher FIGHT OR FLIGHT is a first class, enemies-to-lovers story with deliciously bickery banter. The innocent looking cover, two people seen through airplane windows, fooled me into thinking FIGHT OR FLIGHT by Samantha Young was going to be a light enemies-to-lovers romance. I did not expect things to burn…
