From the moment Rian and Pierce meet in a grocery store, the author had me laughing out loud. Even though they have undeniable chemistry, Rian is skeptical to give Pierce a chance, and I just loved his relentlessness in pursuing her. And with fate throwing them together at every opportunity, Kian didn’t stand a chance.
I flipping loved this book. It is cute, funny, sexy and an adorable read. This is my first book in this standalone series and I am going to correct that ASAP.

This is my first book by this author and I loved it! I am not going to repeat a summary of the story.....I'll just give you my honest review. I finished this book with a smile on my face and I actually stated out loud "that was a great book!" The pace of the story is great - It never felt slow and I was never tempted to skim the pages. I read a lot of books and some are well worth the time - others not so much. I loved the characters and it was a fun story well worth my time. I highly recommend it!

Wow, what an amazing hero! Pierce absolutely makes me swoon in this novel. I adored him. I throughly enjoyed the story and the characters. The first chapter had me hooked and I loved every single word from the interaction in between Pierce and Rian. The romance between the protagonists is sweet and sexy at the same time. The chemistry between them sets the sheets on fire and the dialogues and scenes made me laugh out loud. I especially loved the scene with the lime green speedos. I couldn’t put this book down and absolutely loved it. This was the first book that I have read from this author and I cannot wait to get my hands on Amalie and Lex’s book. If you are looking for a funny, sexy and swoon worthy romance, I would definitely recommend this amazing book.

I initially requested this book because it made me think of Fixer Upper and I am completely obsessed with Chip & Joanna! So then I stumble on this book that is about a girl who wants to start flipping houses with her twin sister and a rich guy who's brother is trying to get into flipping houses, as well. Plus, there's a steamy romance in it. Well, I was sold!

The ultimate question is always - did the book live up to the hype? With "I Flipping Love You", the answer is a complete YES! There was nothing about this book that I didn't like. I loved the romance the most in this. Rian (with an "i", not a "y") is so over bad boys so when she meets Pierce (whose expensive car her twin sister scratched). And the sparks between them start flying almost immediately. I loved the sexual tension in this book and the attitude of the characters toward each other. I really don't think there was anything I didn't like about this book!

Two people trying to reinvent themselves discover an attraction that threatens to derail both of their plans. That’s hardly a new trope in romance, but “I Flippin’ Love You” brings refreshing, funny and sweet characters spiced with secondary players who aren’t easily labeled.

I’m seeing more and more books set (improbably to me) in the world of real estate sales. But the more I think about it, it makes sense. There’s money, drama, people’s lives—past, present and future-- all there to mine. Helena Hunting breaks down the high stakes world of Hamptons real estate to reveal the people trying to survive it and while I have no idea whether her depiction is accurate, it sure is enjoyable.

Rian (note the spelling: she always does) and Pierce meet cute. She’s got a twin sister so there you go, mistaken identity. Her sister is kind of the yang to her yin. Or maybe the other way around. Pierce has a brother that is hard to like but who plays a key role. Helena Hunting fans: You may remember Pierce from Hunting’s “Hooking Up,” sister Amalie’s story. She too makes an appearance.

Each sibling duo is deeply engaged in buying and flipping or renting Hampton properties and become rivals. Friendly rivals, in the case of Rian and Pierce. Real friendly: In the kitchen, on the beach; you get the point. There was an awful lot of lovin’ and I was beginning to miss character development when Pierce breaks through with the kind of book boyfriend perfection that made the second half of the novel a page-turner for me. How Rian can redeem her past and help Pierce move on to the future he wants makes for a funny, touching story.

Highly recommended

***ARC received for an honest review***

A cute contemporary romance stuck somewhere between the funny and the feels.

<b>"This is the pinnacle of desperate attraction. This is the chemical reaction that ignores and burns until there's nothing left but ash."</b>

Rian is this chick who keeps her heart in an emotion Ft Knox..bc reasons. Along comes Pierce - this dude who seems like a cocky, playboy. But that could totally be Rian leaping to some big ridiculous assumptions. Ryan feels like maybe Pierce is safe for her heart bc she dismisses who he is. Of course they both unnecessarily keep secrets from one another that later come back to bite them in the ass.

<b>"'Why are you so hell-bent on villainizing me?'"</b>

There's banter. Pierce pushes all of Rian's buttons (which I find annoying, but seems necessary bc she's wrapped up tighter than a good burrito.) Rian resists. Pierce persists. There's a lot of real estate transactions.

<b>"'Because you look like you're good at breaking hearts and bed frames.'"</b>

Not a bad read, but I'm in the midst of a promising series and ready to get back there. I'm not sure that real estate romance flicks my Bic.

This book was the first one in the Shacking Up series for me

Helena doesn't disappoint. Rian is as sassy as ever and when she meets Pierce all she sees is an arrogant sexy man.. Sexy as all getup.. When Pierce keeps pursing her how long before Rian gives in and if she does can she keep her past from ruining another relationship?

The banter between Rian and Pierce is hilarious.. He is the sweet sexy talker and she just gives him sass...

I Flipping Love You is Helena Hunting at her very best! I laughed and I swooned. Hard! I devoured every single page and even though I got my expected HEA, I still wanted more. Fantastically written.

4.5

I loved the wooing, the romance, the feels and the chemistry. I also loved the property porn. But what fascinated me was the house flipping thing.

Let me explain.

Where I'm from I suppose the nearest equivalent is property development. Sarah Beeny has built her career on the pitfalls that can befall the average property developer; the perils of property chains, uncovering dry rot and troublesome septic tanks. But I couldn't get my head around 'Realtors'. Seems they're like Estate Agents, but ones that do more than take phone calls and confuse complimentary with complementary in on Right Move? Wow, imagine that? I also couldn't get my head around the idea of being able to buy a house in a few days. Last time I moved it took a little over six months. Caught up in a chain with five others (some of which I still exchange Christmas cards despite the fact we were strangers before we were all tied up in *that* move) who all needed to sell so we could buy our new property which meant all of the sales and purchases had to go through simultaneously. We all experienced weekly highs and lows as exchange and completion dates were set and then missed. At least weekly someone would threaten to pull out or someone else would have a problem with their mortgage offer. Or a survey. Or a solicitor was on holiday. Whatever - I was in tears most weeks. So yes, I was quite fascinated with this world where people can just decide to buy a house, buy it, do it up and sell it on again in a few weeks. And a world where the professional actually helps you with this in return for their hefty fee. Imagine. I don't doubt it's entirely possible outside of the UK, but I must admit I was more than a little envious and yes, quite fascinated.

I digress.

This didn't quite share the slapstick humour of the Pucked series, but it more than delivered with the banter and the feels. The smut was particularly hot please and thank you.

Complete story. Highly recommended.

I had so much fun reading this book. Marley and Rian who are twins. Pierce who is the person that Marley came in contact with. Now realizes they are twins. Only Pierce wants nothing to do with Marley and everything to do with Rian. Summer in the Hamptons for Pierce and the twins who are real estate agents and flippers. It is endless flirting, walks on the beach and hot sex. I also love when Rian lets her temper go. She is priceless. I really enjoyed the ending.

"I Flipping Love You" by Helena Hunting
A spicy light-hearted easy fun contemporary romance read. I give it a solid 4-star rating. I was gifted an ARC copy for my honest review. This was an entertaining read. It had a little more spice than I cared to read at this moment in time, but I persevered. I laughed, I cried, and I rejoiced. I think you will fall at least a little bit in love with Rian (Ryan with an "i") and Pierce.. All while you wonder how this story will ultimately play out. Happy Reading!!

This is by far my favorite of the series. I love how Pierce and Rian met. I love how persistent Pierce was to wear down Rian. I love that both of their siblings played a big part in their story and we get to see Amalie and Lex. It's so nice to see Amalie happy and in love!

This was pretty funny however the humor was toned down for what this author usually writes. If you have not liked her previous book with the over the top humor, then give this book a try. I really think you'll enjoy it.

It really has all the right ingredients. Besides the humor, the heroine is very likeable even if she is a bit guarded. The hero pursues the heroine in a way that will make you smile and you are going to fall so hard for him. Plus it's a unique story line.

I really hope the author has plans for Marley, Rian's twin. I'd love to see her find her happiness and still get to see all these great characters again. ARC provided by NetGalley.

Rian is the best at avoiding but since Pierce is so insistent and focused on breaking her walls, there is nowhere she can go and the truth will come out eventually. Also, they are both pretty distracted with the hot sex they get to have in every surface at every opportunity because they just can't resist each other so that makes it difficult to keep a distance. She had a misguided idea of the type of man he was but Pierce proves her wrong and it doesn't happen overnight. They get to know each other and get attached. And because she is full of pride and he always have a comeback, it makes for a pretty entertaining read. He is the best thing that happens to her and their banter will have you loving every page.

I was beyond lucky to have discovered Helena's books a while ago and fell in love with her stories!

I was beyond excited to be able to read this newest book, I Flipping Love You.

This story of Rian and Preston has everything a true romantic comedy should have.  Laughs, love, swoons and smexiness! With just the right amount of angst thrown in to keep this story flowing and fresh!

Rian has been thrown under the bus by the people who should have stood by her, but she rises from the ashes to become better, stronger and just epically fabulous! She has some deep seated vulnerabilities, and rightly so, some misplaced guilt. When she meets Pierce, he gives her everything she didn't know she needed.

Pierce! The master of trying to do the whole slow seduction play! Notice I say trying, but boy did those scenes make me swoon and blush!  When you are first introduced you are thinking he is the typical arrogant a-hole (as Rian puts it).   But he shows Rian so much more of him as the story goes on! And come on, how can you not fall in love with a man who loves to "cuddle you like a motherf..ker"!

Rian and Pierce's chemistry is magical and they are just what the need for each other!  You get a chance to revisit some past characters, which is just lovely! Like a little reunion.  

Helena is a must read author for me! She has yet to disappoint in anything she writes! Thank you for your words!

I think that Helena Hunting is my new best friend. Her dialogue is snappy and fresh, not to mention hilarious. Oh, and the sex scenes are also worth a high five. Girlfriend, I Flipping Love You is perfect for beach reading, lounging by the fire reading...it's simply flipping perfect!
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for letting mr read #Iflippinglove you before it's release!

Rian Sutter grew up with the finer things in life. Spending summers in the Hamptons was a normal occurrence for her until her parents lost everything years ago. Now Rian and her sister are getting their life, and finances, back on track through real estate. Not only do they buy and sell houses to the rich and famous but they finally have the capital to flip their very own beachfront property. But when she catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her, all bets are off…When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book in one day.Helena Hunting is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

This is a sassy and sexy twist on the friends to lovers trope. Pierce and Rian have all the chemistry, and a complicated set of personal issues to work through. This third in a series gives you plenty of background to catch up, so can be read first.

I had so much fun reading this book! I don't usually enjoy first person, present-tense, dual-POV stories, but this one was "flipping" hilarious to me! Pierce was completely awesome, and I'm glad he jumped at the chance to be with Rian. Rian was almost too walled up, but she was at least able to dive into a summer fling enough to put herself out there again. Marley was a little hard to take at times, as well as Lawson, but they weren't central characters, so it didn't distract me for long. I'd like to go back and read Amalie's story since I hadn't read either of the others in the series.
