I Flipping Love you by Helena Hunting. I've enjoyed previous books by this author and this book hasn't disappointed me. A beach read with spice, likable characters, good dialogue and great storyline. Looking forward to reading more by Helena Hunting.

I Flipping loved this book! Pierce and Rian (with an I instead of a Y) are perfect for each other! From the opening scene to the epilogue I laughed my way through this one. Pierce is a lawyer who is in the Hamptons for the summer after making a big mistake and being forced to step back for a while. This is working out for him because he has not been happy in his work for a long time and now he is work with his brother. Tracking down the woman who damaged his car though is a surprise when she turns out to have a twin and the chemistry he has with the twin (Rian who didn't damage the car) is crazy and tingling and absolutely rib-splitting fun. Rian and Mallory are real estate agents who are working their way to their first flip house and the ultimate prize of the Mission Mansion. Watching these two circle their way around each other until they finally come together was so much fun. This is full of wonderful characters, primary and secondary, and so such a good time I was surprised when it was over and I had laughed my way to the end. I definitely recommend this one.

This was my first Helena Hunting Book and it won’t be my last. This is the third book in the Shacking Up series, but it can be read as a standalone. I loved Pierce and his a**holery immediately. He and Rian have great chemistry. This book was funny and low on the drama scale. It was a very satisfying read.

Rian (think Ryan with an I) and her sister Marley Sutton are twins, making a go in the real estate market on the Hamptons whle working toward a dream of rehabbing their old family home, the decades-abandoned mansion that was sold off before their parents absconded them to penury. Using Rian’s maths skills and Marley’s ‘people skills, they have managed to save nearly enough to buy their first flip-project. Well, if Marley didn’t leave a large scratch in the side of a Tessla and take off, never to be seen again, until today. Because today, Pierce Whitfield spies Rian in the aisle of the grocery store and confronts her: mistaking her for Marley. That confrontation, with the super-hot, obviously rich and handsome man was just the first in a series of chemistry-infused, snarky encounters that leave both Rian and Pierce off-balance and wanting more.

Pierce Whitfield is a patent lawyer for the family firm, Amalie Dolls, the eldest of three children and one with a huge secret. He doesn’t want to be a lawyer, and his inability to have his father “hear” his concerns, combined with a sleepless-hangover induced mistake have led to a huge issue for the company, and his taking the summer off to work with his younger brother, Lawson: purchasing beach front properties to flip. Pierce is detail-oriented, handy and desperate to find something he wants to do that wll pay the bills: not just take a job in the family firm. His encounter with Rian is about to heat up significantly, however, as their purposes and plans will intersect, collide and perhaps even overlap.

Like many of Hunting’s stories, these two arrive on the scene with more issues than days in the calendar. Pierce’s ex-fiancé was a social-climbing, unfaithful, not really loving woman: and he’s convinced no one will be able to know he’s got money (or family connections) and truly love him. Rian’s father used her incredible maths skills to bilk money from rich and poor alike, before gathering all the cash he could to escape punishment with their mother: leaving the girls to face the stigma of the family name and their guilt. Rian and Marley have reverted to their mother’s maiden names, buried the past behind them, if it wasn’t for their family home, their summer with Grandmother residence where everything was ‘normal’ and loving. Convinced that because of her connection to her father, and a touch guilty for the role she, as a child, played in the scams, after her only long-term boyfriend dumped her with an apple-tree reference, she’s not going to get close to anyone, or let a relationship develop that will lead to her having to explain her family.

Together, these two hit the mark everywhere – from issue and insecurity driven mistaken conclusions, failing attempts to remain prickly and aloof in the face of a major sweetness onslaught, enough steam rising from the two to power an engine, and some truly panty-melting dirty talk from Pierce when it most matters, they are made for each other, as everyone around them can see. A lovely, fun, funny and hot story where expectations are flipped on their heads and the true work to renovate and rebuild hope and trust are at the forefront.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

This story honestly wasn't a favorite for me, I didn't really stay interested I liked the characters but I felt a bit bored while reading this....

Hunting never fails to make me swoon and keep me laughing from start to finish . I Flipping Love You is no exception. I was hooked from the start and could not put it down. Pierce and Rian are so much fun and absolutely perfect for each other. I fell head over heals in love with Pierce from the very beginning.
While it is book 3 in the Shaking Up series, it can be read as a standalone. However, after reading this one, you won't be able to stop yourself from going back and reading the others in this series. And you will love every second of them all. I highly recommend you pick this one up. I know I can't wait to see what Mrs. Hunting brings us next!

Amazing contemporary romance about flipping houses in The Hamptons, taking risks, and finding love with memorable characters and a well-crafted plot that immediately grabbed my attention and kept me glued to the book until I got to the last word. I loved the instant attraction, sizzling chemistry and repartee between handsome rich hunk Pierce Whitfield and gorgeous, sassy and intelligent Rian (with an i not a y) Sutter. I was so invested in them, I didn't want the book to end.

What a perfect beach or poolside read that will have you laughing and maybe swooning but definitely keep you entertained and engaged. I received an advance reader copy from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my unbiased review. I also purchased a copy for my keeper library so I can read it again.

4-4.5 Stars
The perfect summer beach read! I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting isn’t quite what you normally expect from the author. It doesn’t have the over-the-top humor of the Pucked Series, but still has Ms. Hunting’s trademark wit in a bit of a 'safer' package, appealing to a broader audience.

I Flipping Love You was unique and memorable, which is something that is becoming rarer and rarer nowadays, and it kind of skirts the line between a sweet and sexy contemporary romance and romcom.

Right off the bat, I love how her main characters are real, relatable people I want to hang with, which is what I love most about Helena's writing.
"I have terrible under-boob sweat, and my thong is all wonky. If I were alone in this aisle, I’d for sure fix the last issue, but suit guy is here so I must leave the thong where it is for now, wedged uncomfortably between my vagina lips."

Rian (a girl, pronounced Ryan) and Pierce are complete opposites, but when 'suit guy' angrily corners her in the supermarket accusing her of a hit and run on his Tesla, the sparks are ignited. Turns out it wasn’t Rian who did the hit and run, it was her twin, Marley, the wild one. The two sisters are realtors in the Hamptons and saving up every last penny to do their first house flip.
“That asshole was hot, which are two of your favorite qualities in a man. And rich. He’s a rich, hot asshole. And he thinks you’re hot.” ~Marley

Pierce is a lawyer who lives in Manhattan. Due to some issues at work, he is taking a break and spending it helping his brother flip houses in the Hamptons. Once Pierce and Rian get past the hit and run misunderstanding, the attraction really sizzled, but Rian avoids attractive men because they have always ended up being jerks. Still, damn, Pierce was hot and charming, and makes it clear that he wants Rian.
"Do you have any idea how sexy that is?"
"You think it's sexy that I can do math in my head?"
"Yes. You're gorgeous, outspoken, and intelligent. It's a hard-on-inducing trifecta."

The competition between the two sets of house flipping siblings made for some fun shenanigans and repartee.
“How long do you think it’ll take for me to make you come with you this worked up?”
She arches an angry, horny eyebrow. “Who says you’ll even be able to?”

I loved the banter and build-up between the couple. They both had backgrounds they didn’t want to share, but Rian’s secrets could really come back and bite her in the ass, so the angst was there, but it was not too bad. Pierce was an asshole at first, but I quickly warmed up to him.
"We’re having a sleepover. We’re going to do this all night, and I’m going to cuddle you like a motherfucker after finishing sexing every last orgasm out of you.”

Funny thing, even though I read the first two in the Shacking Up Series, I had no idea this was related until I was about halfway through and I realized Pierce’s sister was the Amalie from Hooking Up. I Flipping Love You can completely stand alone, but there are a few things that cross over which is fun if you read the previous books, but you wouldn't notice if you hadn't.

Likes:

•The detailed description of the Hamptons made me feel like I was there.
•A completely unique story.
•Helena Hunting’s trademark wit.
•Her heroines are real and flawed and snarky and you just want to hang with them.
•The real estate and flipping part of the story (I wish we had more).
•Banter and fun competition.
•The attraction between the couple leapt off the page.
•Just the right amount of sexy times.
•I had to buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I forgot how good it was!

Dislikes:

•It kind of felt like Marley was forgotten in the end.
•I usually love Helena’s side characters, but I never really connected with Pierce’s brother or Rian’s sister.
•I wish we had a little more of the stresses and problems that occur when flipping and selling properties. It all seemed a little too easy and quick.

The Down & Dirty:
I Flipping Love You was a little on the safe side for Helena Hunting, but I liked that for a change. It lost a bit of the slapstick, over-the-top silliness, but still carries Helena’s trademark wit and characters you want to hang with. The unique and detailed setting of the Hamptons, combined with the house flipping made it stand out as a little different than most other books I have read recently. Though I Flipping Love You shows on Goodreads as the 3rd in the Shacking Up Series, it doesn’t seem to really go with the first two. It seems like it should be a spin-off series, because now we need to know what happens to the siblings. Do they get together? I need to know! I Flipping Love You is like Property Brothers vs. Property Sisters with some sexing and is the very definition of a beach read: it takes place in a beach town, it's light, easy, fun and sexy and I enjoyed every second of reading it.

I flipping loved this book! I laughed, I cried, felt all the feels, and fell in love with Pierce and Rian. I was hooked from the start and could not put this down until the very end. This was the perfect, sexy, fun, flirty rom-com to escape in and couldn’t have come at a better time.

This is my first read by Helena Hunting and I can guarantee it will not be my last. I’ve already stalked her Amazon page looking for my next purchase!

**I received an early copy of this title compliments of NetGalley and the publisher, and this is my unbiased and honest review**

I Flipping Love You is a great rom-com; a sexy, slow burn with no drama and hilarious one-liners, perfect for a summer read. It had me laughing within the first couple of chapters. Rian and Pierce were a joy and fun to read. They may have the best first encounter. I loved their banter. The second characters were great, too. Rian's sister and Pierce's brother are something else. I can see them getting into a lot of trouble. Ms. Barber was just awesome. I do wish there were more scenes with Pierce's and his siblings.
This was my first book from the author. I enjoyed it. I didn't know it was a series of standalones with interconnected characters before I read it. Hunting knows how to write wonderful and funny characters, ones that I couldn't help liking. I'll be reading more of her books.

4.25 stars

I Flipping Love you was a sweet and cute summer read. Mixed with the brand of humour that can come with a Helena Hunting read, it has its swoony moments and those heart fluttering scenes.

The beginning of this story sucks you in as these two meet in quite the unusual way. It’s highly entertaining to say the least. As this story progresses the two main characters Rian and Pierce continue to run into each other.

These two slowly start to sizzle and what we end up getting are some hot and steamy moments between the two of them.

Pierce well I absolutely loved him. He was cocky yet cheeky at the same time. It was easy to see the appeal he had and I think any woman would easily fall for his charm. He’s also a sweetheart and you can tell his heart is in the right place.

This story was definitely enjoyable and absolutely had its sweet moments. There’s not a whole lot of drama in this one but enough to have you engaged. A cute read for the summer.

Awesome contemporary love story. Rian and her twin sister Marley have been taking care of themselves since they were 18. Now years later, they are real estate agents. Unfortunately, Marley isn't the most responsible person and damaged Pierce's car. Pierce mistakes Rian for her sister until he realizes the difference. Rian is spunky, smart and pretty but she also watches out for her sister. Pierce is intrigued by Rian and decides to get to know her better. Unfortunately, Rian has trust issues due to her past. I received a complementary copy of this book via Net Galley and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Hunting.

4 Bring on the House Flipping Stars!!!

I loved everything about this book. Who knew flipping houses in the Hamptons could be so much fun!! Rian and Pierce are literally forced together thanks to her sister's side swipe and flee of Pierce's car. The funny part is, is that Pierce thought it was Rian thanks to the fact that she and Marley are twins! Their initial meeting in the grocery store had me almost snort laughing. I knew just from this first chapter that this was going to be such a fun read!

The banter between Rian and Pierce was priceless. She's snarky and has some of the best come backs; he's incredibly good looking and sexy, and Rian can't help but be attracted to him. It becomes that much better when they realize they both flip houses....let the games begin!!

I also loved the relationship between the siblings. Rian and Marley are a hoot together and given their backgrounds and where they came from to see them rising above that to make the life they've always wanted and along the way they just may get back a piece of their family was so heartwarming. Pierce and his brother Lawson are like any brothers giving each other a hard time, but when it comes down to it, they really do love each other.

This is a great addition to the Shacking Up series and I loved watching Rian let her guard down and find a relationship she wasn't looking for with a man that will love her more and better than she's ever been loved before.

First I would like to tell you guys how happy I am that I was introduced to Helena Hunting writing. I am a huge fan of a great romcom especially when it has the raunchy, naughty, silly and sarcastic humor that she always brings to her books and characters. I always get so lost in her books and “I Flipping Love You” wasn’t different. From the very beginning I was hooked on Rian and Pierce’s story. These are two characters that I fell in love with and wish that they were friends. Yes folks, this is what Helena do to you. She makes you wish that you could be friends with fictional characters. The banter between these two will leave in stitches and it’s the same with the other characters in the book. I love Rian’s sister Marley; she was a card and let’s not forget Pierce brother Lawson.

“Even your muscles have muscles. It’s like the big ones are having sex with each other and making new little ones under there”

This book will filled with laughs, love, sexy time and not only that but we get to see Rian and Pierce come full circle because they both got hurt really bad by people in their lives. Rian by someone who’s supposed to love and protect her no matter what and Pierce by someone who he gave his all to but in the end both of them found love in the right place. I couldn’t get enough of this. I actually devoured it.

I have read and reviewed a few of Helena Hunting's books on my blog and I actually bought a few of her previous books as well because I have been loving the books I had received to review.


I Flipping Love You is book number 3 in the Shacking Up series and it can be read as a stand-alone if you so wish but I swear you should read the previous books because these books are so freaking addictive.


I read this book in one day. This is an easy, quick and sweet story. The main characters (Rian and Pierce) have chemistry.


This is one book series that I will be reading again in the near future.


I give this 5 out of 5.

Rian and Pierce are flipping fabulous !
This such a sexy, funny , cute story.
Pierce is the tall, handsome, intelligent suit that has never found that someone to keep his interest and make him feel that spark ...until Rian. A chance run in ….literally and he is enthralled !
Rian is sassy, sweet, sexy and also a wiz with numbers . She has been having a bit of bad luck in the man department and wants no part of the suave Pierce . She puts up a good fight but when he turns on the charm she begins to see that their is so much more to him!
Rian and Pierce have a amazing witty banter and undeniable chemistry. They will yank you in to their lives and keep you entertained right till the end. They are also surrounded by a wonderful cast of characters that compliment them and their story so well! Loved them !

This is the first book i have read of Helena Hunting, It is a contemporary romances. I am so happy that I decided to read it. . One of the reasons I did is because I am a huge HGTV fan. The book is about buying homes and flipping them to use as summer rentals. The book kept me entertained with its witty dialogue . A quick and enjoyable read. Great for a beach day.

This was my first read by Helena Hunting and definitely will not be my last. This book was a fun read and I loved the everything about it. The banter between Pierce and Rian had me laughing out loud quite alot. The chemistry was off the charts between the them which made for very hot sex scenes. Highly recommend this book

Y’all probably don’t know this because I don’t think I’ve mentioned Helena Hunting before but I’m a huge fan of her books, specifically this series. Okay… so I may or may not be lying because I haven’t technically read the complete series but I’ve now read two and loved them which basically means I love this series, don’t fight me. Anyway, like I said, I love Helena Hunting so my expectations going into this book were higher than the Empire State and—no surprise here because we’re talking about Helena freaking Hunting—she took those expectations and laughed like a Disney villain because OF COURSE she went above and beyond those expectations.

Even though I loved this story in the end, I didn’t love it at the beginning and that is Pierce’s fault (he’s our hero in this book). It took me some time to warm up to him. He started out being a very cocky and arrogant pain in my butt but the more I got to know him and discovered his different layers, I started seeing him as more than just a sexy a-hole. He is an incredibly sweet and hard-working man. He is the perfect mix between fun and seriousness and I LOVE HIM. He is so darn dreamy.

I also love Rian. She is so sassy, funny, relatable and intelligent. She is a hard worker too and I loved that Pierce supported her just as much as she supported Pierce in all of his projects. Their relationship is all of my goals in a nutshell; it is sexy, swoony, fun, mature, full of respect, honesty, great communication and it’s never boring. I totally got a little jealous because, man oh man, Pierce is the complete package and Rian is someone I aspire to be (minus some of her stubbornness because I already have plenty of that.)

This might not seem important or relevant to some of y’all but I really liked that Rian’s sisters and Pierce’s brother played important parts in this book. Maybe because I have a sister and we are always together and supporting each other but I really loved seeing the dynamic between the brothers and sisters and how similar/different our relationship is compared to theirs.

Also, I never talk about steamy scenes in my reviews because I’ve never felt the need to, somehow they are always the same in pretty much every contemporary romance but I absolutely have to mention Helena Hunting’s steamy scenes. The sexy moments in this book are HOT but they are hilarious too. It is hard to explain but they are very original and unexpected and out-of-this-world yet very normal. Helena has a way of putting you in the spot and making you feel everything the characters are feeling, you feel their embarrassment when something doesn’t go to plan or you feel the butterflies in your stomach when things start getting exciting. They are scenes like you’ve never read before and I honestly cannot recommend them enough if you love reading stories like this one.

The epilogue is also worth mentioning. It brought tears to my eyes, a smile to my face, some giggles out of me and butterflies to my entire body. It is adorable and so very Pierce and Rian. It is for sure one of my all-time favorite epilogues. And it was the most amazing ending to a perfectly paced, perfectly planned, perfectly written love story.

This book!! No seriously, this book!! It was so so good, I'm not even sure how to do it justice with this review. This may end up being one long run on sentence of babbling.

I had no doubt that this book was going to be great the moment I heard about it. It was so many things all rolled into one amazing package.....it was laugh out loud funny, super sweet, and had just enough heat to require ice water.
