There’s always great humor in Helena Hunting books and this is no exception. However this is not my favorite book, or series, of hers. I liked the characters but like the first book in the series, I felt this was more like a play by play of their lives, or a diary of on Monday we did this, on Tuesday we did that. Looking forward to her getting back to more in depth writing.

Helena Hunting makes house flipping and the real estate world sound fun in I Flipping Love You. A hilarious, sweet, and sexy read, I Flipping Love You features Pierce and Rian, a new couple with an unfortunate not so meet-cute and chemistry that sparks at a single glance. With the dust settled these two start a fling before realizing their business ventures are tied together and they must separate business from pleasure. Things get a little messier when Rian's covered up past is uncovered and Pierce's personal life rears its head, revealing that both are afraid of commitment, but not afraid of each other. It's a lesson in trust and lust for the two, because it can't just be an easy summer spent flipping houses.

"I want to find out if she kisses like she's fighting or submitting. Or maybe both."

Helena Hunting is always funny, but also manages to write sincere romance that isn't predictable. Anyone who watches HGTV or DIY knows about the flipping homes craze, but I personally haven't seen any books featuring it, so this one was fun for me. I really appreciated that both Rian and Pierce were multi-faceted characters; their day to day lives and interactions were not solely focused on home sales and fixer uppers, but also on their emotional and physical connection, their personal lives with family and friends, and the pasts each has that leaves them with a bit of commitmentphobia. Told from their alternativing first person perspectives, Rian is a spunky girl with a desire to be better than her past told her she would be and Pierce just wants to finally make a career out of something he enjoys rather than something he's told to do. Both of their end goals make them perfect business partners or perfect enemies, but what Helena Hunting does with their personal and business relationship is even better. I really liked both main characters and reading their romance was laugh out loud funny and awe-worthy sweet. Yes, they sneak off to romp in every home and in various other locations, but they also learn to share and lean on someone besides their own family. The characters are more mature but I sort of liked that the character development in the novel was simpler. It was the perfect nice, light-hearted read I was hoping it would be.

"I am stretched with a capital S. Maybe even all caps. Shouty ones. It looks so hot."

I wanted to read I Flipping Love You, because I love any shows about flipping houses, but I also really, really, REALLY liked the cover. The model is both adorable and handsome and grabbed my attention right away. Turns out cover lust led me the right way this time. I Flipping Love You is a standalone, but if the other books are anything like this then they're going to be winners for me, for sure. I highly suggest this one, it's the sort of book you can read repeatedly and still enjoy.

"The desire is visceral, a shimmer in the air, a heat in my veins, and a fire in his eyes. That is what wanting someone is."

I just LOVE Helena Hunting's characters and story plots and I FLIPPING LOVE YOU is another HIT! I fell in love with Rian with an 'i' quirkiness, independence, and fiscally conscientious personality! Oh and Pierce, ummm, I would say our compatibility test would be way hotter than a 2 ;) You are just going to have to read the book to understand...

If you are looking for the perfect beach, vacation read BRING THIS BOOK WITH YOU! It's the perfect mix of sexy, comedy, and romance all in one. And if you enjoy binge watching HGTV this book will intrigue with if those walls are fit to be broken down with Pierce's gunshow or possible Rian's heart...

I am a MAJOR fan of Helena Hunting and I can't wait for the audiobook of I Flipping Love You so I can fall in love with these characters all over again!

ARC received for an honest review

Waaaah! This book is so freaking good!

I am not usually one for covers, but the guy on this one has been taunting me on my kindle for ages and I just adore him. I licked him, he's mine! He look kind of Hemsworth-y.

I Flipping Love You is the story of Pierce, who is Amelie from Hooking Up's brother.

Pierce and Rian's story sweet and sexy and all kinds of adorable - and not OTT drama for drama's sake. I am not a fan of drama llamas!

The sparks between our lovelies makes the air around them combustible, and you just know that if they ever get together it is going to be hot hot hot!

I love the Hamptons setting - though all I really know about the area is that it is full of rich people lol! Makes me want to go to the beach (though I live hours from the coast, sand gets where sand shouldn't get and I don't go in the water because Jaws can eat me!). It also made me want to reno my house, even though it doesn't need it and I don't have the $$ to do it!

I Flipping Love You is full of sweet, sexy, funny moments, however it has plenty of heartbreaking and frustrating and vulnerable moments too.

I couldn't put this one down once I started.

I can't wait for whatever Ms Hunter brings us next.

BIANCA
ADORABLE!


Another mega-adorable and funny and sparky and sexy romance in this amazing series!

I adored Rian and Pierce from the moment I started reading.

They so obviously belong together, but there was this stupid first impression.

But they're working on it.

And it's so adorable and full of sparks and flirting and sexiness and beach and sand and houses ... I just loved reading it!

I love the whole summery, beachy, Hamptons atmosphere.

We have so many funny and sexy and adorable moments!
But also some very serious and moving and frustrating moments. Both Rian and Pierce have parental and/or job troubles, which are keeping both from enjoying life the way it's supposed to be enjoyed.

But ... we'll get to that happily ever after! And we love every page of their journey!!!

I just loved this book! There's really nothing more I could say!

READ IT!

I Flipping Love you is my first book by Helena Hunting and I’ll be reading more. This was the perfect pre-summer read. A hit-and-run (both from a car and then a cart) brings our two main characters together. From the beginning, their banter hooked me and enjoyed them together. I love when the characters have some spunk.

Rian came from a wealthy family and after circumstances not of her own making, she and her sister have to start from the bottom and claw their way back up. Pierce’s family was a middle class family that became extremely wealthy after a successful product created a small empire. I found it interesting how their backgrounds played into their growth. Both had a past they need to personally overcome. That being said, this isn’t a brooding novel, so their growth was done with a dose of humor and of course lots of sexy bed time (or dryer, counter, couch, beach......).

Can’t wait to go back and read Amelie’s book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Saint Matin’s Paperback’s for the opportunity to read this ARC. It doesn’t affect my review in any way.

Well hot diggity dog do I love Helena Hunting. Seriously comrades, if I could just roll around in all things Helena Hunting I would. I devoured the PUCKED series, I loved the Clipped Wings Series and I definitely enjoy a lot of her standalone books. She is creative, she is fun, she has this amazing writing style I inhale at any opportunity. I Flipping Love You has so many things wrapped up showing off what I love most about her writing style – swoon worthy romance, drama that is whoa and sexy scenes that are perfect jill inspiration.

If you have not started the Shacking Up Series, I highly recommend taking the plunge. With book three under my belt, I have to say there are a few differences between the other two I have noticed vs book three. Shaking Up and Hooking Up definitely had this huge steam factor that I loved, but I Flipping Love You is more of this sweet adorable romance kind of build. Though I do love these kinds, it wasn’t the typical hot and heavy I crave, more on the side of cutesy.

Pierce is definitely my favorite – I am sorry, I know in romance sometimes we can be too fluffy for the men and hard-press on the female leads but I can’t help it. Pierce is a sweetheart from the start to the end, I cannot get enough of him. He has this grounded assertive personality that makes him really believable. Rian on the other spectrum for me is really love/hate. I love a female lead who has a strong moral standing, passionate, and really driven – Rian is definitely all of these things. She has spunk and I fucking love it. But the issue is that she got under my skin more often than not…. though she seems to be level headed and smart, she is farcical. I also felt that this hovering ‘secret’ she was hiding from Pierce was just overly exaggerated; she should have been more trusting, more relaxed though I get the reasoning, not entirely justified, just felt it did not flow in the overall outcome I was expecting.

But what I loved about their chemistry was how easy flowed it was as their relationship grew, they literally met accidentally. This of course continues to domino effect into more accidental run-ins. It was just fun. They have a hilarious dynamic that left me chuckling with each page turned. Their chemistry was very much established right at the beginning and did not stutter throughout – it was delicious.

Another tidbit that somewhat geared me to the side of hesitance was that Rian always seemed to have her feet half in half out perspective throughout the relationship. I assume it was based on her guarded personality and trust issues (again not fully unjustified) but just made the chemistry seem rather back and forth. Especially while Pierce was really pushy on their chemistry, even from the beginning he was adamant of a match and to make a couple.

Overall, this was a very cute, light read – I definitely read it in one sitting because as all Helena Hunting books, once I pick it up I cannot and will not stop. I was constantly grinning from ear to ear throughout the entire read because it was flipping adorable. Aside from my personal pet peeve with Rian, I really enjoyed Rian and Pierce’s romance. They had this feisty, fun chemistry and they were hilarious together. I cannot wait to see who happens next – I am on the fence, do I want Law or Marley… I kind of want Law!

Rian Sutter and her sister Marley were once part of the Hamptons’ elite but thanks to their father and his sketchy business dealing they are now pretty much two broke girls just trying to get by. They’ve discovered they have a knack for Real Estate and now that they are doing well they plan to move into the Flipping business. They are finally gaining the capital they need to secure flips, and Rian is getting closure and closure to her dream of purchasing the home her grandmother once owned; until the gorgeous Whitfield Brothers enter the scene and start buying up all available properties on the beach and things get very interesting. Especially concerning Piece Whitfield.
Pierce Whitfield is finding that his current position as a patent lawyer in his father’s multi-million dollar company is not his passion. He’s boredom led to a massive error which forced him to take the summer off from his job; and led him Hamptons to stay with his brother and to discovering his real passion…buying, remodeling, and selling homes….flipping. Meeting Rian Sutter does nothing but confirm with Pierce that his days as a lawyer are pretty much numbered.
From the first encounter these two have in the grocery store the humor takes hold and makes this a really fun read. Aside from the flipping issues the two have there are secrets to be discovered on both sides. What I really like about this book is there isn’t that whole looong period where the two separate until the misunderstanding that occurs draws them back together. The first time we met Pierce was in Hooking Up, his sister Amelie’s story. I have to say, the Pierce I met in that story is nothing like this one. That Pierce seemed very serious and straight-laced. This one was as far from that straight-laced as you can get.
It’s rare that I actually like both characters but in this case, I loved these two. They were funny and sexy and quite adventurous….all I’m going to say on that note is beach sex and sand fleas!! Oh, and green speedos!!!! LOL

Delicious, steamy and funny as hell! Helena Hunting is a go-to author for me every single time. She does not disappoint. A must read Rom-Com! You wont' regret it!

Helena Hunting is one of my go to authors. This book had both humor and heart. I flipping loved it! I give it 4 ⭐️

I Flipping Love You was a flipping fantastic read. And one that had me hooked from start to finish.

As it had everything I love in a Helena Hunting novel. Including an absorbing and charming storyline, fabulous main characters, lots of crazy antics, chemistry and humour. As well as great sex scenes, fun pet names and chapter titles. And some very interesting secondary characters, along with a couple of familiar ones.

And all of it combined perfectly to make an extremely enjoyable, entertaining and heartwarming story. That I honestly couldn't put down; and one that I would definitely recommend to others.

Man, what a story!

I have to say I thought my favorite from this series was always going to be Shacking Up, but I have to say that this book just changed that. Pierce knew the moment he met Rian (like Ryan but with an "i") in the supermarket, something was different about her. He didn't know what is was at first but he knew it was something he couldn't stay away from. He knew chemistry like this is not something you should just pass by. Since that first time in the market she was popping up everywhere. There was no way he was going to let her get away from him, without a date with her. He was going to do everything he could to get one chance with her.

Rian on the other hand was always into the bad boys, that broke her heart. She vowed to herself that she would away from anyone that looked like the the stereotype bad boy and that's what Pierce was to her. She only dated people from her online dating sites that were 8+ out of 10 in the compatible meter. She tried to keep it casual with everyone, because she was hiding her past and she thought that if she got to close with someone and had to tell them her story it would end right on the spot. She didn't want to open her heart to anyone, she thought she was happy and her sister was all she needed, until she ran into Pierce.

Can he push through her walls and get the chance he wants? Can she just keep it casual for the summer? Will this end in heart break or will they over come everything that is thrown at them?
This story is amazing and I believe can be read as a stand alone. It is book 3 in the series but like I said above my favorite in the series.

**Received ARC for my honest review*

I flipping loved this book! I totally flipped out over the characters! I could do backflips, I love it…..ok, ok, enough with the puns. But this was my first time reading this author and I enjoyed every minute of this smart, well-written rom-com treasure!

Rian (that’s with an “i”) Sutter and her twin sister Marley are “wheeling-and-dealing” realtors in the Hamptons. A scratched Tesla and a case of mistaken identity pings Rian on Pierce Whitfield’s radar. With chemistry off the charts, these two dance around each other in a hysterical and at times emotional way. The blurb gives you the plot, so no additional details from me, but suffice it to say these two each have there secrets that they are keeping to themselves and those secrets aren’t small ones! It is those secrets that drive the plot through a story filled with snappy dialogue and moments of sheer hilarity! Not to mention that chemistry - it was sizzling between Rian and Pierce, who steamed up the pages(not to mention the beach, the kitchen counter, the laundry room dryer….) with sexy talk and action.

Putting the humor and steam aside, I enjoyed the author’s writing style. The book alternated between Rian’s and Pierce’s first person point of view - usually I am not a fan of the first person POV, but it worked very well here. That was another plus for Ms. Hunting on my scoresheet, as I almost always find the first person POV too restricting, leaving me with gaps in my mind as to what the other characters are thinking. But here I felt very invested in the story and fulfilled at the end. To be honest, it did leave me with a hankering for more Helena Hunting stories, so I will definitely check out the first 2 books in this “Shacked Up” series! A+

I flipping loved this book! I loved this book from the first moment I started reading it and couldn't put it down. It's the perfect rom-com combination of sweet and sexy with an absolutely swoon-worthy Pierce. Add in a sassy, but mostly sweet, Rian with an "i" and you've got a winner! A little bit of angst, lots of heat, chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments and you've got an outstanding romantic comedy that's a must read. Now I have to get my hands on the previous 2 books in this series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

I Flipping Love You was another great read by Helena Hunting! It was funny, steamy and so so good! I loved Pierce and Rian! I loved the chemistry, banter and sexual tension! They were great together! I am hoping that Marley will get a book someday! Definitely recommend this!

I Flipping Loved it!!! This may be my 2nd. favorite Helena Hunting Series!!! I adored Pierce & Rian. It is adorable, hilarious, fun, sexy, quirky, & a bit Gnomey. One of my favorite parts was the Gnomes; I seriously laughed out load at that part!!! This book has all the feels, you will swoon, laugh, & cry!!! Ahhh and that Epilogue was perfect; actually the whole book was perfection!!! 5 Big Fat Stars!!!

I loved flipping love you , the book had everything I was looking for in to read

I stayed up late reading the book
It had funny, sparky and sexy romance in this series

I rate this book 5 stars

I Flipping Love You is flipping fun. It's got all the things a greedy romance reader needs:

-hottie in a Tom Ford suit
-twins...(okay, that works for the guys)
-conflict
-a dryer with amazing abilities...(or maybe it wasn't the dryer)
-beaches
-beach nookie...(also looking less fun as I think about it...)
-Lex sightings (because...LEX)
-Seriously hot hookups
-and an ever after...(I didn't mention the happy because you need to read it!)

-Oh and the sexiest thing a guy can say:

“We’re having a sleepover. We’re going to do this all night, and I’m going to cuddle you like a motherfucker after I finishing sexing every last orgasm out of you.”


Best line next to the dreaded four words...I Flipping Love You!

Reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood

Although this is book 3 in the Shacking Up series, I haven't read the previous 2 stories, but I had no problems. I feel this is a good stand-alone story. It was a sweet, touch of drama, rom-com! The main characters had some serious chemistry from the get go and I liked how fate kept placing each other in the other's path.

I really liked Rian's character. She was strong, smart, outspoken, sassy, and loyal. I liked how she called Pierce out on his crap and admitted when she was in the wrong.

Pierce is absolutely swoony! He's charming, sweet, loving, family oriented, and persistent yet patient when it comes to winning Rian over. He knew when he needed to push and when to pull back on showing his affections.

This quote was so sweet and swoon worthy, that I had to share it:
"She tastes like love. She feels like my future. Rian is the beginning and the end. She's the fight I won't give up. She's the forever I won't let go."

All in all, this was a wonderful read and I'd rate it 4-4.5 stars! Thank you NetGalley for this copy. This is my honest review!

Why have I not read more of Helena Hunting sooner?! I’m kicking myself!

When I read the blurb of I Flipping Love You I was instantly intrigued by this story! I am OBSESSED with house flipping and every Real Estate show I can get my hands on! I don’t know what it is but I CAN’T STOP WATCHING! They’re full of drama and keep me enthralled from the get go!

I Flipping Love You was no different. From the very first chapter I was hooked on Rian and Pierce. They had one heck of an unconventional first meeting and from then on every other meeting is a matter of happenstance.

Set in the picturesque Hamptons, Rian, that’s Ryan with an I, is a successful Real Estate agent with secrets. Being sensible is not one of them! Rian was the type of female character I love, she was strong and smart and didn’t let anyone walk all over her. But she’s also lacking in confidence and riddled with guilt about her past secrets. She was relatable and funny and I might have loved her more then her counterpart Pierce Whitfield.

Pierce is a down on his luck lawyer who’s spending his summer hiding out on the beaches of the Hamptons fixing up and flipping houses. With a past he’d rather not remember and a future he doesn’t want he’s a little mad at the world and even madder at himself. Pierce likes to think he’s an a$$hole Alpha, but he’s really not. He’s sweet and funny and apparently fantastic in bed if you ask him. He’s also damn fine and not afraid to tell you so.

I Flipping Love You was full of inescapable fate. There was something happening around every corner. There were so many hilarious antics and one liners and crazy high jinx that I loved reading. I Flipping Love You was a feel good romantic comedy that left your heart feeling full and gave you all the heart eyes! I couldn’t stop smiling at the end and instantly went back and read my favourite parts!

Helena Hunting has a writing style that I love. Steamy sex scenes, hilarious high jinx and sweet as candy moments! Rian and Pierce’s story is the one you want to cuddle up with on a rainy Sunday afternoon when you need some laughs, some romance, a little bit of intrigue and some joy. If you haven’t already, pick up this book now! You’ll finish that rainy Sunday hugging your kindle begging for more Rian and Pierce moments!

I didn't really have any expectations going into this book as I have not read anything by this author previously but I was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the banter and often hilarious situations that Rian finds herself in while in Pierce's company. The story was a little predictable at times but it was still very enjoyable, If you are looking for a light entertaining read I would absolutely recommend this book! #IFlippingLoveYou #NetGalley
