Oh, this book. When I saw that it was book 3 in the Shacking Up series, so I was curious how these were related. You don't need to read the first two books, Shacking Up and Hooking Up, but if you want some good laughs, I'd go back and read them.
Rian and Pierce were hilarious. I seriously loved reading their story and watching them navigate their relationship. The way they meet has you cracking up and you don't stop laughing throughout the book. The attraction and chemistry between these two is insane and off the charts, what starts off as a hilarious first run in with each out and sparks turns out to be this amazing connection that they can't deny or stop giving into.
I seriously couldn't get over how much I loved Rian and Pierce.
​

I am flipping out over this new RomCom from Helena Hunting! A standalone novel set in the world of Shacking Up and Hooking Up this is another one-click must.
Helena writes strong, sassy and slightly awkward females and Rian is no exception. She and her slightly ditzy, highly irresponsible sister Marley are overcoming a huge family scandal that they would prefer to keep on the down low. All they are looking for is a return to financial stability and the family home.
Pierce is still looking for his true path in life – but he is pretty certain working in the family business is not it.
Of course, the route to their individual goals ends up being one and the same and their mutual drive combines with amazing chemistry and ridiculously fun escapades – and a few pink flamingos!
Another laugh at loud, all night read!
Well done Ms Hunting

Bancroft has his humor and that BODY, Lex has…all his sexy Lexy-ness, but Pierce….a suave combination of business man meets guy next door HOT! Rian and her twin are trying to finally make a name (their OWN name) for themselves keeping the mess her family left them in the dark. Flipping houses is a delicate endeavor and crunching numbers to get them done is Rian’s specialty; people…that’s all her sister Marley’s area. So when Marley manages to catch the negative eye of one sexy Pierce and he mistakes her for her twin….oh intrigue and hilarity ensue.

Pierce’s relentless pursuit of Rian is filled with some interesting pranks, some peculiar places for steamy scenes, and one crazy brother. Ironically, Pierce and his brother are in the same business and neighborhood as Rian and Marley’s. A mix of office romance with forbidden romance as these two battle for real estate in the Hamptons and each other hearts. A twist of circumstance and readers won’t be sure where loyalties truly lie and if these two can find that elusive HEA after a torrid summer affair.

Hunting puts out fiery after fiery read. Always win a vein of hilarity her books are real romance with an air of lightness one every story. There’s always an ulterior motive, another line of some a-hole character to mess up our hero and heroines carefully laid plans. But Hunting manages to build characters you despise as much as you love. While their stories unfold prepare to fight alongside them as they try to reach their …ahem…climax; these characters will become your beloved friends and you’ll be begging for more!

Well, it’s true we can’t pick our parents, but we can overcome and choose our futures. I love to watch shows on flipping and fixing up houses, so did enjoy that aspect of this book. Being able to do this in the Hamptons, well, that’s just a plus. I love Rian and her sass and feisty attitude. How many of us have wanted to say or do what she does? I also love her loyalty to her sister, Marley. Rian and Pierce make for some interesting story lines.

This was really good. I loved it. The characters and story were great. I hope there are more books in this series and I definitely need to read the first two books.

I love Helena Hunting. Her books have appeared on a crap-ton of our Friday “best of” lists. I’ve read every book she’s written, and I’ve enjoyed every last word. This one is no exception.

I would’ve read the book regardless of what it was about because, you know, Helena Hunting. But the fact that it was about a hero and heroine who flip houses? Score!! It’s like it was written just for ME! (I might have mentioned I’m an HGTV addict a time or ten, right?) And Pierce and Rian are good at what they do. I really enjoyed their competence porn.

This is also a romantic comedy that is actually FUNNY without relying on slapstick silliness. It’s smartly funny, and you WILL laugh out loud while reading a time or two.

Rian was a great heroine. She was smart, and good at her job, and a decent, honest person. She wasn’t at all flighty or neurotic. (Though she was a little damaged by her past, she didn’t let it rule her life, and I admired that about her.) But while I liked Rian a lot, I truly loved Pierce. He’s prime, grade-A, book boyfriend material. Smart, successful, funny, cocky and alpha without being an alphahole, laid back and not ready to jump to wrong conclusions without having all the facts first...he was practically perfect in every way. These two characters didn’t have a lot of stupid misunderstands, they talked about their feelings like real-life grown-ups, and their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS hot. I have literally no complaints about this couple. (And if you’ve read my other reviews, you know how rare that is for me.)

Long-story-short, if you’re on the market (see what I did there? Heh? It’s a real estate reference) for a hilarious, sexy, sweet, low-angst read, this one’s definitely the book you’ve been looking for. 5 stars all the way.

Full disclosure: I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 3rd book set in this world and another great read! Rian (pronounced Ryan with an i), this made me laugh everytime and Pierce's story was a fun story! From the way that they meet to their whirlwind relationship, it was a great read.

I loved that Rian is a fierce person. She has some insecurities about her family and things from her past that make relationships hard. When she meets Pierce she is all sass. I loved how Pierce was drawn to her instantly and didn't give up when he knew that she could be the best thing for him. He pursued her until she gave in. The chemistry was insane and hot between them.

I loved getting a glimpse at Amali and Lex's life and where they are at. This world is such a fun world and the read is a little lighter which I loved. Some laugh out loud moments. I hope we get Marley and Lawson's story soon!

Rian Sutter grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. But her parents yanked that spoon away and now she and her twin sister are digging their way out of their parents’ debt and trying to prove themselves in real estate. They are on their way to start flipping their own houses in the Hamptons but then Pierce Whitfield and his brother push themselves right into their path. As attracted as Rian and Pierce are to each other, they are also rivals in the competitive Hampton market. Can these two find a way to exist in the same marketplace, find a way to explore the sparks and not catch all of their dreams on fire?

“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.”

Loved this romantic comedy so much! Pierce is the total package with his wicked sense of humor, determination, renovation skills and smarts. Rian is skittish since she’s been burnt in the worst way possible and letting anyone get too close is kind of one of her hang ups. As these two keep running into each other, the situations get more and more bizarre. It’s like fate wants them together and will keep the awkward at an all-time high until these two figure it out. I really couldn’t stop laughing out loud at way too many sections because both are so competitive and will go to crazy lengths to get to a potential house in the Hamptons that’s up for sale. If beach sex, speedos and gnomes are your “thing”, get ready for a book to take you on a wild ride. Just don’t let Marley drive.

I've never been disappointed in a Helena Hunting book. She is so hilarious and her writing style sucks me in. I frequently have to take laughing breaks and explain to everyone what is so funny. Just such a joy to read!

4 stars. I Flipping Love You was a cute, fun read! This is Pierce and Rian's book. Pierce is Amelie's brother (from Hooking Up). He meets Rian after her twin sister hit-and-runs his car in the grocery store parking lot. He confronts Rian later, thinking she is the one that hit him, and is immediately attracted and interested in her. Sparks fly between them and their relationship develops as they both are in the real estate and house flipping business in the Hamptons.

I really liked both Rian and Pierce. They were sweet and sexy together. There was little pushing away or angst. This was a romcom, but was funny and not overly silly, slapstick humor. It didn't make me feel strong emotions, but it was definitely enjoyable and entertaining. I hope that Rian's sister, Marley, and Pierce's brother, Lawson, get books in this series as well. I also enjoyed the house flipping aspect and Hamptons setting.

Overall, I really enjoyed this light, easy read! I look forward to more from this series and Ms. Hunting in the future!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This book was so much fun and I loved Pierce and Rian! Even though they scored two out of ten on the compatibility test, they were perfect for each other and Pierce really had to keep pursuing Rian as she had such a terrible track record of choosing the worst guys to date.

There are secrets that they each keep but when they find out, they are accepting of that part of their loved one.

I loved that Pierce was able to finally do what he wanted and give up his lawyer duties for something he really wanted as well as merge his dream with Rian's - that was one great gift that he had for Rian! I also loved that he went back to the place where they met when he proposed to her.

This book was so fun to read that I want to get the previous two in the series that I have not read yet. Amalia's story sounds pretty exciting, also.

I Flipping Love You is a fun, lighthearted, sexy little romp through the Hamptons. It’s high on wit and romance, and low on angst, which makes it a great addition to your own beach bag. It’s the perfect source of escapism.

Right from their very first introduction, I knew that Rian and Pierce’s interactions were going to be pure gold. They had an instant spark and attraction, but their banter was what truly won me over. While he was a little pushy, flirtatious, and smug, she was very prickly and antagonistic toward him. It’s this kind of back and forth that, in my opinion, adds to the best chemistry between characters. There was certainly no denying the chemistry that these two shared!

While a relationship wasn’t really on either of their summer agendas, a little, no strings fling was an entertaining diversion from their competitive real estate endeavors. But as we all know, no matter how many times we tell ourselves that we can keep our feelings at bay, feelings have a way of getting in the way and tugging at our heartstrings. Despite Rian’s best efforts to keep everything light and easy, she couldn’t seem to stop Pierce from stealing a piece of her heart. But Rian had her own reasons for wanting to keep Pierce at arm’s length. It was easier for her to keep him in the dark about her family history, as her past always had a way of sabotaging any potential relationship.

Helena Hunting did a fantastic job of creating these characters. I couldn’t help but like them and root for them. While the main characters took the stage front and center, I must admit that the secondary ones were just as good. It was Muriel who stole the show for me. This older neighbor may have had a small role, but she sure packed a punch and had me laughing out loud, wishing there had been more scenes with her.

I Flipping Love You was just an all-around entertaining read. It had the ideal balance between humor and heat that will have me coming back for more books by this author in the future.

*4 Stars

What did you love best about this story?

My Rom-Com loving heart is soaring right now with I Flipping Love You. What an amazing, hilarious and romantic story for Rian and Pierce. My love for them both was instant and it got bigger and bigger as the story was going. I loved how persistent, and sweet and everything was Pierce with Rian. I loved how much Rian tried to resist him, but couldn't, And I loved their professional and not so professional relationship, adding the right amount of drama to the story, giving it twists that I loved so much.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both Rian and Pierce. I loved how competitive they were and how much they couldn't resist each other. Their relationship was a mix of funny, romantic, and sexy moments that made it all more amazing. And their colleague's relationship was the touch that made the banter between them very entertaining.

What does Rose Dioro & Jacob Morgan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Rose and Jacob are perfect for Helena's books. They give the perfect personality to their voices to match the characters and the final product is simply perfection. Rose has a sweet voice, but it's also full of sass and flirtation that makes Rian's scenes even better. And Jacob...Oh My God, Jacob...That man knows how to make a book boyfriend sound sexier!! I loved his smooth voice *sigh* They both definitely do a perfect duo, especially when it comes to the voices they make for the opposite sex. I really didn't feel the change of narrator between them ;)

Would you listen to I Flipping Love You again? Why?

Abso-flipping-lutely. Both, the audiobook and the print/ebook version, are 100% recommended.

PS: I loved Amelie's cameo in this book. I just love her.

Isn’t there a saying that the best place for ‘singles’ to meet is the grocery store? That might be further from the truth in Rian’s case. While shopping for groceries at the local supermarket, Rian finds herself embroiled in a case of mistaken identity. Meeting Pierce wasn’t what Rian expected. The arrogance that escaped with Pierce’s words was met with snark and intrigue. Something that kept Pierce thinking about the gal that pulled his attention.

Through a series of coincidences, Rian and Pierce find themselves crossing paths over and over again. Something that increased the tension and attraction between the two. With Rian jaded from past life experiences, Pierce has his work cut out for him to secure a date with the woman that he just can’t get out of his mind. As hard as Rian tries to keep Pierce at arms length, nothing will keep Pierce from trying to learn more about the gal that he just can’t seem to get out of his mind.

Get ready for a light hearted, funny romance that definitely will put a smile on your face! The latest romantic comedy to grace the Shacking Up series by Helena Hunting is full of wit, sass, and a really hot romance. Grab your reader and make sure you ‘one click’ this entertaining and funny novel that is sure to be a hit with readers everywhere!!

I Flipping Love You was a cute fun read. I hadn't realized it was part of the the Shacking Up series until I went to post my review and saw it listed as book 3 in the series. Even though it's book three in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone.

Rian and Pierce meet is a funny way. He mistakes her for her twin sister. They have fun banter which was one of first things that hooked me to this story. Rian is fun, sassy, and says the funniest it things sometimes. At first see wants nothing to do with Pierce. He's sexy and hot but she tries not to like him. They have a few run ins before she gives in to him. Pierce is a nice guy. He comes off jerky at first. Even though he at first mistaken Rian for her sister, he's attracted to Rian not her sister. I really loved these two together.

Although I have read a few books by Helena Hunting, it’s been awhile. I am not crazy about the cutesy, suggestive titles that seem to be all the rage in contemporary romances these days and almost didn’t get this book for that reason. Glad I got over myself enough to read this book. I am an HGTV fan so loved the background of this story. Flipping homes and buying up homes to use as summer rentals in the Hamptons is the premise. The book also has a superhot H (Pierce) and the feisty girlfriend (Rian). Ms. Hunting is great at witty dialogue which kept me thoroughly entertained. This was a one day read for me. It was enjoyable without being too cutesy! If you are in the mood for a fun, house flipping contemporary, don’t let the title keep you from reading!

I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting was a story about Rian, who with her twin Marley, had to work hard to get out of debt that was created by their parents who got caught being liars, cheaters, and thieves after they took off and left the girls behind. So while out shopping at the grocery store, Rian was approached by Pierce. Pierce thought Rian hit his car a week earlier and took off, whereas, it was her sister Marley and when Marley didn't think she did any damage, she left. So starts the story about Rian and Pierce. A mixture of love, laughter, and miscommunication between the two of them. I really enjoyed the story. I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.

This was a really cute read. It had the "sweet" element with some seriousness, along with a few giggle-worthy moments. I really enjoyed the book and its characters.

I really loved the real estate component to this book. I am obsessed with a few real estate shows, so I couldn't wait to read this love story set in that setting.

Rian and Pierce are the characters you can't help but to love. Rian with her strong, independent personality. Pierce with his sweet, but take charge personality. They are definitely a pair matched well in this story.

I can honestly say I enjoyed this book from start to finish. From the plot, to the characters, to the build up to the end, I was turning the pages with a smile on my face.his was a cute read. I enjoyed this one more than others from Helena that I have read. I will update with a full review closer to the release of the book.

I sooooo adored Rian and Pierce. I loved the banter, chemistry, and the passion. They were perfect! I flipping love you is the 3rd in the series but can be read as a standalone. (Good thing cause I didn’t realize this till I already got the book..)
Rain and her family used to be part of the Hampton’s I guess “in crowd” (trying to think of the right word).. but when her dad made a few not so decent deals, it ruined the family name, and left them with nothing.
Rian is a real estate agent who also loved to dabble in home flipping or (like that awesome show) Fixer Upper.. After struggling with financial issues after her mom and dad left her and her twin sister completely broke.. they are trying to save what they can so they can try to buy back her grandmas home in the Hampton’s. Enter Pierce a broody but oh so hot and swoon-worthy lawyer who also likes to flip homes..
As stated I loved the chemistry between Rain and Pierce.. I loved everything about this story. It was light hearted with just a touch of angst.. and now I need to find the others and read them. 

I should start by saying that I love all of Helena’s books. Each series is set in a different style of business, and I think she puts an appropriate amount of research into her characters and storylines. When her characters speak about their jobs it’s very believable.

I really liked the chemistry between Rian and Pierce, but more than that, I loved the fact that Rian was such a strong, independent character despite what happened in her past. I think those strong women are needed in today’s fiction. I also like how Helena’s characters all seem to be connected in some way—they’re never really gone even if the current book isn’t about them.

I highly recommend this book!

I Flipping Love You may be the third book in the Shacking Up series but it can be read as a standalone, that being said if you're like me you'll want to go back and start the series from the beginning when you finish this one because it was so much fun.

Rian, pronounced Ryan only with an i, is a great character she is fun, sexy, and extremely smart. Usually it's a persons looks that can get them in trouble but for Rian, it was her super smart brain. This has not only caused her life to change, and not for the better, but the ramifications of what had happened when she was only a kid still make life difficult for her.....I bet you're wondering what I mean about that but I'm not telling, you'll have to read the book to find out.

Pierce, super sexy lawyer that is on a break from practicing while he lives with his brother for the summer. Pierce is persistent I will give him that, he sees what he wants and goes for it....honestly that's a really good personality trait if you ask me.

Pierce and Rian together.....well lets just say they cannot keep their hands to themselves, the attraction they have to one another leads to a lot of sexy times in some interesting places.....countertops, dryers, and beaches just to name a few.

I really enjoyed this book which had me laughing out loud several times, it was funny and steamy and most importantly it had me so engrossed I hadn't even realized I finished it in just a few hours. I highly recommend this book to everyone that enjoys a good story that has the ability to grab you and hold you from the very first page to the very last. Happy Reading!
