Not my favourite Helena Hunting book, but it was still good. Filled with classic humor you expect in a HH book and characters that are funny, sweet and sexy. It felt more like a daily we did this, we did that kind of storyline. Enemies to lovers is a favourite of mine and Rian & Pierce definitely fit that. Loved hearing from previous characters in the Shacking Up books. Looking forward to a bit more in depth from this author.

The perfect summer reading: fun to read, hilarious and entertaining.
The description of the alchemy between the main characters is great and the book is well written and full of fun.
It's my first Helena Hunting book and I look forward to reading other.
A very funny and good chick-lit that I recommend.
Many thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for this ARC

I Flipping Love You is the third book in the Shacking Up companion series. I wasn't expecting another book in this series so I was really excited when I fount out it would be part of it. I Flipping Love You follows Rian and Pierce (whose sister Amalie was the main character in Hooking Up which I loved!!). The two end up meeting when Pierce mistakes Rian for her twin. After their first encounter they continue to run into each other.
I thought this story following Pierce and Rian was adorable. At the beginning they are both pretty guarded because of past experiences but Pierce is a lot more open to the possibility of something happening. On the other hand Rian has been closed off for so long and she only allows herself to fully open up to her sister since it has been just the two of them for so long. As she starts to accept that she might want more than a casual fling with Pierce she allows him to see more of her and where she came from. I really enjoyed seeing the progression of their relationship throughout the story.
Since I've read and reviewed Hooking Up I have gone back and read Shacking Up. After having read all three now there were some things that stood out and made me a little disappointed in this one when compared with the other two. There were times when I found it hard to keep track of the passing time. Several times in the book one line would be talking about the current time and the very next line jumped to week or more later. I think this could've been easily solved with mid-chapter breaks. Another thing that really stood out to me was the lack of use of the side characters. Don't get me wrong, the side characters were there but the majority of the story took place inside a bubble where only Rian and Pierce and existed.
While Hooking Up was my favorite of the three, I Flipping Love You was a light, fun read with lots of humor thrown in. This was truly a story of a chance meeting and falling in love. I'm not sure if Helena Hunting has any plans for another book in this series but I would definitely pick it up if she does!

I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting is a lovely, very sweet and enticing romance that hooks you from the very start and keeps you entertained until the very end. This is a enemies to lovers/ mistaken identity trope romance that packs a one-two sizzling punch. Marley and Rian are twins and they are also realtors. Their real dream is to buy, flip and sell homes. Marley is the free spirit while Rian is more introverted, because she wants to protect herself from heartache which she has know a lot of . Their parents, specificly their father,was a sleeze who schemed and took many many people out of money and then skipped the country and left their twin daughters behind to take care of themselves at the age of only 18. So Rian just wants to make sure she isn’t ever hurt. Pierce, is a patent lawyer for his father's company, which is famous for the Amalie Doll. He is on leave from work due to a loophole issue. He really wants to flip homes, that is his true passion. So he is staying with his brother at his beach house. Pierce and Rian meet in a grocery store in the most delightful way. It will instantly stay with you long after the book is over. Rian and Pierce had this instant connection from their first meeting, even when he was a total jerk. Rian is a bit on the stubborn side, though. It takes her a while to come to terms with Pierce. Their relationships had this push/pull to it and add their fun, witty banter, instant sizzling chemistry, and beautiful intense passion, Rian and Pierce will become your favorite couple in this series. Will they end up together and get their HEA or will their stubbornness push them apart? Only way to find out is to give this book a read.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

I love Helena Hunting and all of the the wonderful stories she comes up with. Rian sees Pierce starting at her in the grocery store and is amazed that someone like him would look at her the way he is, until things go wrong. He mistakes her for her twin and he wants payback. Once they figure out what really happened, Pierce is drawn to Jordan and tries to find ways to see her. She reluctantly, and only after he sees a horrible date she is on and she gets jealous when he is out with another woman, agrees to a date. Things go further than either expected, but they can't stay away from the other.
Is there a way that they can actually be happy together? She is keeping a secret from her past, which is why she took so long to date him. He is buying all of the houses she is interested in flipping. When she finds out, will she let him explain, or will she assume that he was using her? Is there any way they find happiness together? I laughed do hard at certain points while reading this book. I also got teary eyed at other parts. That is a sign that an author knows what they are doing, in my opinion.

Did I howl with laughter? Um, hello, have you read Helena Hunting before? Then the answer is obviously yes! I flipping laughed out loud at how Rian stumbled through her intro to Pierce. Even though he didn't have the first clue that he was exorcising some demons on the wrong twin, the instant attraction was enough to set panties on fire. And it only gets better from this meet cute.
Rian is the more balanced of the twins, but without a slight push from sister dearest, she wouldn't take a leap of faith - in the real estate market and with her emotions. Pierce is beyond easy on the eyes (thanks for the imagery, Helena), but what makes him so wonderful lies beneath the wrapping paper. Better yet, it's the fact that he's wonderful in the same way as Rian: kind-hearted and loving.
As always, Hunting gives us secondary characters who deserve their own limelight. The siblings are standout characters who move the story along in a perfect fashion, lending depth to development and plot. But then again, I have come to expect Helena to always wow my socks off with the way she weaves a story, the characters she introduces at just the right moment, and the twists with lend the appropriate level of angst. And let's not forget memorable steamy scenes which burn up our Kindles!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story because I love HEAs, I love men with heart & soul, and most of all, I love a story that grips by from the first page - tears, angst, or laughter - and never lets go. That's what this book did for me. I hope it does the same for you!
P.S. The other books in the series are just as amazing. Go grab them too!

4.25 Flipping Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟.25
This book was flipping adorable! This is the third book in the Shacking Up series, but it can be read as a standalone... A wonderful romance filled with love, laughter, granite countertops, dolls, and a neon green speedo.... what’s not to love?
Rian, Loved her.... she was the type of girl you would love to go out and have drinks with... loved her quick wit and her down-to-earth personality...Pierce wasn’t too bad either... just your typical Hut,nice,millionaire about town.... The chemistry between these two was intense and the banter was fun...
The relationship developed at a perfect pace, with both of them guarding their hearts against getting hurt...Rian has a bit of a past that seems to frighten off guys, will it frighten off Pierce? Or will she ever even tell him? Is this just a summer fling? Or is it more? You’re going to need to read this to find out! And it is so worth it!
Absolutely recommend two fans of romance with lots of laughs and sand🏖
*** thank you so much to the publisher for my copy of this book ***

I Flipping Love You is the perfect way to kick off the summer. It’s hilarious, sexy, romantic and highly entertaining, and my cheek muscles are sore from smiling so flipping much while reading it. From their first laugh-out-loud confrontation in the cereal aisle, Pierce and Rian have a charming dynamic and fan-yourself-worthy chemistry that leaps off the page. They trade rapid-fire, laugh-out-loud banter as they bicker their way into falling head over heels in love while competing for the next house flip in the Hamptons. There’s nothing not to love about this steamy, feel-good and heartwarming romantic comedy.

Great, Sexy, Romantic, Comedy that is the third in the Shacking Up Series. This story was Sweet, Sexy and Funny, full of great, flirty, witty, banter that will have you laughing out loud. This fast paced funny read will capture your attention from the moment our hero and heroine meet until the end of their story.
Rian Sutter and Pierce Whitfield may meet in a most unusual manner, but the chemistry between them is evident right off the bat. Relentless in his pursuit to get a date, from the gorgeous, outspoken and intelligent, Rian, Pierce just can’t get a break, until they start to run into one another, again, and again. Pierce finally breaks down Rians’ defenses, with his persistence, swagger and their sizzling attraction. I Loved Pierce, he was so patient with her, and so totally taken by her in every way.
This book is not only funny but sexy as hell. Yes, there are a few moments in this book that are hotter than hot. But besides being sexy and hilarious, this story has a lot of heart to it. A sweet Romance, that will give you all the feels, and will literally sweep you off your feet. I laughed and swooned over their story hard.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Helen Hunting’s I Flipping Love You is flipping adorable! It was like watching a romance unfold on HGTV.

I truly enjoyed loved reading the I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting. This is a wonderful story filled with humorous banter, disagreements, and lots of heat between Rian and Pierce as the chemistry between them flares. Rian and Pierce find they have more than mutual attraction in common, they’re both vying for the same pieces of prime real estate in The Hamptons and neither one plans to give up without a fight. I loved these two in all their glory. Neither one let the past, present, or future affect their needs or feelings for each other. This might be my first book by Ms. Hunting, but it will definitely not be my last.
Ms. Hunting wrote a wonderful story with relatable characters who were fun to read about. I really enjoy reading this book and had trouble putting it down, turning page after page, wanting more once I turned that last page. I highly recommend this series to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I've had such mixed luck with the Shacking Up series and Helena Hunting's books. I enjoyed the first book in the series but thought the second was a bit of a mess. I was curious about this one because it has a real-estate agent heroine. It's always fun to read about career-driven women. Plus, the Hamptons setting was hard to resist. I Flipping Love You fell somewhere in between the first book and the second for me.
Honestly, the opening scene of this book which involves an angry businessman, a case of mistaken identity and a scratched expensive car was a hoot. It was hilarious and really sucked me into the book. That was probably one of the best parts of the book. Rian and her fraternal twin are real-estate agents with dreams of someday flipping houses. Rian was a decent character. She's driven, has a tough shell around her heart and is very smart. I will say that she was prone to dramatics a couple of times throughout the book, but for the most part, I didn't have any issues with her character. She and her sister had some trust issues because of her family's history and understandably so. Pierce was equally enjoyable as a hero. A Manhattan lawyer, he comes to the Hamptons to help his brother flip houses. Pierce comes from money but is a little unhappy with his career and is trying ways to be happy. He was such a chill and charming guy and I liked the parts we saw of his character in I Flipping Love You.
Pierce's romance with Rian started off on such a funny note. I was sure that I would absolutely fall head over heels in love with these two. I definitely enjoyed their dynamic in the beginning. The constant running each other, the bickering and the chemistry were a lot of fun from a reader's perspective. That feeling didn't last very long though. Their romance started to fizzle out in the second half. I wanted to see them connect on a level deeper than just sex. I didn't feel like we got to see them emotional in any way here. So in the end, I wasn't entirely gaga over this romance.
I Flipping Love You was a fun book, but it definitely had the potential to be stronger, especially in the second half. Give this one a shot if you enjoy rom-coms!

This was a fun read about 2 sisters who have to re invent themselves for their parents misfortunes. Not only do they do this, but they exceed their own expectations. But what happens when a set of brothers pop into the picture? Read this book to find out.

Get one-clicking I Flipping Love You right now! Seriously, it’s a perfect beach read!
✓ Fantastic, smart, sexy AF characters
✓ Snarky, fun, witty banter
✓ Captivating story—one that will keep you guessing
✓ A full swoon HEA
This is all that you’ll find and so much more in this book! I loved the relationship between Rian and Pierce. Loved how the brought out the best (and sometimes the worst) in each other. I adored how their romance blossomed from antagonism to somewhat liking each other to outright love.
Their relationship as not quick and easy. They both had some demons to slay—some truths to reveal. But in the end it was perfect. And I’m hoping for so much more in this terrific Shacking Up series.

Rian Sutter has been on her own with her twin sister Marley since they were eighteen. They've built themselves up from almost nothing, and have been making a decent living these past few years selling real estate in the Hampton's. They've started with selling houses, but their dream is to flip houses. The real money is in flipping, and will bring them to their end goal. Their lives are on track as they are finally close to affording their own flip when a situation threatens to derail the path their on.
Rian has a run in with a sexy suit named Pierce Whitfield. This man has that privileged, wealthy look about him, and is gorgeous. He becomes a thorn in Rian's side, and then suddenly she can't seem to shake him as he continues to show up everywhere she turns.
Pierce Whitfield is a lawyer from Manhattan that is spending the summer in the Hampton's with his brother buying & renovating houses. They buy, renovate, and rent beach homes. He has worked in the family business, but feels ready for a change. He loves to create & fix things, and work with his hands.
After a chance encounter with a stunning feisty woman named Rian, he relentlessly pursues her. They have insane chemistry and he wants the chance to get to know her and explore their connection.
Rian feels such a strong pull to Pierce, and decides to spend more time with him. She figures things will stay casual since he's only there for the summer. He will be a great, temporary, fun distraction. They really hit it off and have a wonderful time together. She enjoys his company in and out of the bedroom, and finds him absolutely intoxicating. Then things get competitive, and she finds herself tangled up between business & pleasure. She wasn't supposed to get attached to him, but suddenly she finds herself invested in him. With their expiration date fast approaching she's not sure how she'll walk away from this sweet sexy man who's stolen her heart. She's become emotionally involved & is terrified by how much she feels for him. Will she share the secrets she holds close and take a chance on love?
I adored this book! It was an easy five stars for me. This story is part of the Shacking Up world, and Pierce is Amalie's big brother from Hooking Up. This book has one of the best meet cute scenes I've ever read. I enjoyed it so much, and thought it was hilarious. Pierce & Rian are both working in the Hampton's in real estate, and vying for the same properties while at the same time enjoying something new with one another. It's steamy, fun, full of banter, and a fantastic read! I loved everything about it!

I loved this book so much that I preordered it for my library. All of the hype on Instagram and Goodreads is entirely accurate. This book is full of romance, humor, intrigue, and sexiness. I just could not stop reading and I am so glad that I read Helena Hunting. I have gotten more of her books and can't wait to read them! Amazing character with heart!

****ARC received from NetGalley for an honest review**** This was a light, humorous romance book reminiscent of Alice Clayton's Wallbanger. I love sibling books and to have two pairs interacting made my day. I found myself laughing out loud at the high-jinks of Rian (with an I) and Pierce. Marley and Law also had me snickering. Rian and Pierce were definitely meant to be together as evidenced by all their unplanned run-ins... HEA. Highly recommend this book.

I would like to thank Netgalley and St. Martin's Paperbacks for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely love this author. Her humor just keeps me coming back for more. I loved this series and especially this book. It’s a fun, sexy and just a great read.
I love chance meeting books and how Pierce and Rian kept getting thrown together. Pierce is instantly attracted to Rian and stops at nothing to get her to go out with him. Rian is trying to stay from the “HOT” guys that seem to be dating fails and date more sensible guys. I love the fun banter between the two main characters. The chemistry is amazing – not only do they feel it but so does everyone else in their vicinity.
If you are looking for a fun, fast, sexy, easy going read I would definitely pick this up.

This is between 2.5 and 3 stars for me, but I’m going to be generous and 3. I didn’t quite feel the chemistry that everyone in the book kept mentioning between the two Rian and Pierce. They have a hate to love relationship with plenty of bickering. I did like how they talked through their problems even if Rian tended to run initially. It was a fun book to escape into for a while. This was my first Helena Hunting novel and I've had my eye on her other series for a while so I think I will give those a shot.

I recevied an ARC of this book from author in exchange for my honest review.
I must admit, that I am happy that I read prequels beforehand, but it really is not strictly necessary to read them.
I love all the connections that you made between the characters. I was wondering how they are connected.
The story is beautiful like all of Helena's stories are. It is wonderful how these characters meet. I love their first meetings. Usually tgey are really funny. This one was no exception.
I love Pierce - he is rich but he would rather get his hands dirty, than be the spoiled rich guy. He sees something and he wants it. And Rian - well she is something else. Ofcourse at first she doesn't want to admit it to herself that there is chemistry between them.
You have to read this book. It is everything and more.
