I flipping loved this book! I think this series gets better with every book.

This is a standalone and it’s not necessary to have read the other books in the series first. Honestly, I’ll admit I couldn’t remember who Pierce was and had to go back to the prior book and check. (He’s Amalie’s brother who helped her with her divorce.)

This author’s characters are always so likable to me. Pierce may be rich, but he doesn’t act entitled. He’s sweet, and caring, and funny. Rian is strong, independent, and a hard worker. I could easily be friends with these people, provided I could keep my tongue from hanging out around all the male hotness.

Helena’s books always have the right mix of humor and sweetness for me. If I find myself in a book slump, her books never fail to pull me right back out. I highly recommend this book and this series.

Somehow I didn't realize until I started reading I Flipping Love You that we had already in a roundabout way met Pierce! He is Amalie's brother, from Hooking Up!!! Let me just tell you that it pretty much made my day to realize this! It's the little things in life for me. I absolutely devoured Rian and Pierce's story.

Rian and Pierce had quite a rocky start and a case of mistaken identity. These two were dynamite together, their sexual chemistry and and compatibility were off the charts even if Rian wanted to deny that they were truly compatible.

One of my favorite things about this story is that it didn't feel like the obstacles they faced in their relationship were overly contrived. Yes, Pierce is hella wealthy and yes Rian has a crazy backstory, but even with those things in play here, the story felt authentic in a way that a lot romantic comedies can't quite capture.

I really enjoyed seeing the relationships that both Rian and Pierce had with their siblings, the strong bonds were so enjoyable and really made it fun to read. I'm wondering if Rian's sister and Pierce's brother will end up together, although for some reason I have a feeling that they won't because that feels to predictable. One thing I do know is that if Helena writes it, it will be perfection She has quickly become one of my top authors and auto-buy for me.

Helena Hunting once again wrote a story with characters that you want to be friends with and the kind of love that wish you could find in a hilarious unputdownable book. I Flipping Love You is a must read for all romantic comedy lovers!

Helena Hunting has hit it out of the park once again with your next must read! I Flipping Love You is an instant winner following Rian & Pierce's fated love story. Two people trying to make a new path for themselves that also keeps pushing them together. Rian tries to fight the pull but Pierce's natural charisma and charm is hard to turn down. The sparks that fly are brighter than the sun and definitely have you heating up! But it's not just chemistry that has you invested in these two characters but their genuine goodness & perfectness for each other. Pierce is really a good guy and Rian is smart, sweet and funny.

And bonus, if you read Helena's previous reads Shacking Up & Hooking Up then you'll get a peek into what Amie has been up to since her story. She's Pierce's sister! Win!!! I loved her!

Helena's trademark wit & style is at it's best in this new read. It's one you don't want to miss!

Helena Hunting is a wonderful writer and I enjoy reading everything she writes. Her newest story, I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, is engaging and filled with banter, sarcastic remarks and sexy scenes.

The story begins when Rian and Pierce meet in a grocery store. As soon as they meet, they can’t ignore the sexual tension sparking between them. They immediately start trading quips while Pierce tries to talk Rian into going out with him. While Rian is attracted to Pierce, she has learned to stay away from rich, good looking guys with big egos. Pierce is intrigued by Rian and chases after her but she keeps refusing to go out with him. The more she pulls away, the more he chases. Rian pretends to be annoyed with Pierce but secretly she is thrilled.

Pierce is a wonderful mix of arrogant, vulnerable and sensitive. He is a dirty talking sexy guy. He is confident and goes after what he wants. Even though it takes him a while to convince Rian to go out with him, he never gives up.

Rian is intelligent, beautiful and covers her insecurities with a sassy attitude. She is outspoken and isn’t afraid to let Pierce know what she thinks. She has always been afraid of relationships because she has some family baggage she is embarrassed to share with anyone.


I found myself immediately transported into this entertaining story. Pierce and Rian are realistic characters and it is easy to connect with them. I also enjoyed all the interesting secondary characters. This is a perfect mix of funny and sexy.

Holy WOW! This book FAR surpassed my expectations in the best of ways. I LOVED this book. I was DRUNK on it. I didn't want to put it down. In fact, if I could have I would've climbed right into the book and immersed myself in these characters lives! How in the HECK is this my first Helena Hunting novel? How come no one told me what a fantastic and HILARIOUS author she is!?! HMMM???? Joking aside, this is one my my absolute FAVORITE books of the year. I don't even care. It's got everything that I crave in a romance- a swoon worthy hero who is more interested in a relationship than the heroine, a sassy and FUN heroine who is as cute as a button and sweet as pie (also her sarcasm is top notch), a gorgeous setting that is described so well that you can practically taste the salt of the ocean and the sun on your skin, humor that is up to par with my favorite writers Meghan Quinn and Tara Sivec, AND a beautifully uplifting romance that will make you SWOON. Sheesh, this book has EVERYTHING. I HIGHLY recommend readers grabbing a copy of this novel the SECOND it hits the shelves because it is so damn good.

I Flipping Love You tells the story of Rian (that's RYAN with an I- she is a GIRL) and Pierce. Both live in the Hamptons. One has a ton of money, the other is making a life for themselves after some unfortunate events within their family. When their worlds LITERALLY collide (a shopping cart, car mishap, and anything else that brings the crazy), they can't help but be drawn to one another (one more so in the beginning- it's so damn cute). Their relationship at first is merely based on coincidental meetings, but soon feelings begin to sore and what happens next... Well, you would have to read it to find out!

This book brings flipping houses to the next level! Readers are going to LOVE the banter between Rian and Pierce and their slightly dysfunctional relationship. You are going to find yourself giggling the whole way through, and blushing from time to time. But the best part is the way they seep into your heart. Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend this book to romance fans and everyone else who needs a good laugh. So make sure to grab a copy when it comes out on May 29!

This book was everything I needed exactly when I needed it. It's sexy and funny and surprisingly sweet.

Helena Hunting has mastered the rom-com. If you are looking for something that will make you laugh and leave you with a smile, she's your girl! She never fails to write men I fall hard and fast for and women that I want to be when I grow up. I Flipping Love you fit the mold perfectly. I can't remember the last time I read a book that had me laughing through the sexy times. And, as strange as it may sound, it just worked.

Pierce and Rian are perfect together. Pierce is charming with loads of swoon while Rian is sassy and independent. They're both smart and flirty and the chemistry between the two of them just sizzles!! They're funny when they shouldn't be and serious when they need to be. The push and pull made for great banter and gave me the giggles from beginning to end. There are a few serious moments but nothing too dramatic. It's a light-hearted and easy romance that's loaded with feels that kept me turning the pages.

Overall, this book is laced with humor, a little emotion and lots of cuddles. It flowed well and everyone was easy to connect with. It's low on angst and high on laughs. The side characters were a lot of fun and really added an extra level to the story. I thought it was the perfect combination of sexy and sweet and I really hope this isn't the end of this funny, eclectic group. I read it in one sitting and didn't want it to end.

Also, I will never look at green Speedos and Cinnamon Toast Crunch the same way again.

What can I say about this book, aside from I FLIPPING LOVED IT! Helena Hunting delivered an adorable, fun, and sexy read with I Flipping Love You. I’ve enjoyed all the stand-alone novels from her ‘Shacking Up’ series, but this is my favorite so far!

Pierce and Rian meet in a grocery store in the most uncanny way. Seriously- this book had me rolling with laughter from the first few chapters. There aren’t many authors who can make me laugh as much as Helena Hunting can. Rian and her twin-sister are a hoot, and Pierce is a bit of an ass… at first anyways.


As much as Rian wanted to deny it, she and Pierce had a huge connection from the very start. Their chemistry is completely undeniable. Rian is a bit on the stubborn side, though. It takes her a while to come to terms with Pierce. I could understand, after learning about her past, why she was the way she was though. Pierce was amazing. There was some push and pull between the two of them, but I wanted them together so badly!

If you’re looking for an entertaining, funny, light-hearted, and steamy read, pick up I Flipping Love You. Helena Hunting does not disappoint when it comes to romantic comedy!

This book was absolutely hilarious! I loved the dynamics between Pierce and Rian. Their first interaction was absolutely priceless. Rian was mistaken for the actions of her twin sister and she was all too willing to let Pierce know what she thought. Do you think this would turn him off and stop wanting that first date? No, it only made him want her more. She was refreshing. Something different. He needed that in his life. Someone wanting him for who he was and not based on who his family was. You will laugh all the way through this book. Now if Marley had a book it would only get better!

OMG! This story was just too cute for words. It was funny, sweet, cute and sexy all at the same time. I absolutely adored Pierce and Rian. Their chemistry was undeniable. Their banter was so much fun. I was smiling throughout this whole story. There were lots of heart stirring moments too. And definitely a lot of awww moments. Did I already say I loved Pierce? I want a Pierce now. He's just so cute! And those of you who follow my reviews know I'm not crazy about first person POV but for Helena Hunting I endure it and am never disappointed with her stories. I highly recommend this wonderful love story.

Rian take crap from nobody, not even her man and even shocks the bejesus out of him, "...Thirdly, there are literally hundreds of powder-blue Buicks in this stupid city. It’s not an uncommon car. And I’d like to point out , that the cleavage comment was completely unnecessary and unwarranted and actually, pretty damn sexist.” He blinks a couple of times, possibly taken aback." Pierce sure knows how to woo a woman, “we’re having a sleepover. We’re going to do this all night, and I’m going to cuddle you like a mothereffer..." Pierce sure knows how to lay the drunk texting on thick, "I’d like to sip bourbon out of your navel. I like your navel. I like you ." I loved this book, I loved these characters, this was such a fun read.

This was so darn perfect!

From the first moment, to the end of the epilogue, this is a wonderful, sexy, smart, funny, saucy, story of a boy, who meets a girl, chases said girl, and they fall madly in love with each other. They both were less than open about everything in their lives, but then again, this was only supposed to be a summer fling. No need to reveal all your heart depth matters regarding your family when you're saying goodbye come September

Bit by bit, Pierce and Rian get to know more about the other. Little by little, that fiery burn of attraction flames higher. Moment by moment, their hearts start to feel more, and not falling for the other person isn't an option. When it all finally appears to come together, the cracks appears

Rian has all the reason in the world to be suspicous, and Pierce knows he should be careful, but past experiences get smashed to smithereens. Needless to say, I was in tears for these two, sad and happy, the last two chapters. There isn't a big moment for these two, just some small ones that reveal everything, and prove they are going to be okay this time

Again, a perfectly sexy love story about a boy who meets a girl, and they fall in love with each other over the course of the summer!

I flipping can't even with this flipping book!
Are you serious? Pierce is AMAZING...in a hard working, chunk of hunk kind of way. He has money, but doesn't rely on his good looks and charm to get him places. He works hard...with his hands...and hammers and drills and stuff, but the most important part is he is not afraid to get sweaty or dirty.
He has met his march in Rian with i not a y. Rian is strong and fierce and won't back down...she also is not interested in Pierce's advances.
These two make bickering seem like an art form...a hot art form.
I will NEVER again look at a dryer again the same way...talk about the spin cycle!
Also I will never again think its NOT dangerous to have sex on the sand...hello sand bugs...
Come to think of it these two did it in a lot of places. If y'all don't flip for Pierce your eyes are broken!
THIS IS A MUST READ...it's sexy, and emotional with exact amount of Helena Hunting humor we all love and need.

This book is adorable from from the first to last sentence. Told in alternating pov this enemies to lovers made me smile like an idiot and laugh out loud. I just love that Rian is normal, aside from the numbers, she's fairly sane and hard working toward a big goal. Her twin Marley is a bit of a handful, but Rian seems to manage her well enough. Pierce while quite well off is a normal guy with a bit of a snugly side. The guy has a three legged dog named Trip, what's not to love? Pierce is my favorite book boyfriend this year!

I won't give the story away because I hate that! All parties in the Hamptons are real estate obsessed and flipping or renting is the name of the game right now. Everybody has a secret and some are bigger than others, but none that can't be overcome. There are some very heartfelt moments that had me dabbing a tear or two. The main characters as well as secondary characters are vivid and fully entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Flipping houses has never been so sexy or fun. I Fipping Love You is an amazing read. I loved every moment of banter between Rian and Pierce. The fight of attraction is so much fun. Seriously Rian and Pierce will have laughing out loud and fanning yourself. I couldn't put this down. I love how Rian can hold her own with Pierce and her sister Marely. The sisters are hilarious. Even though this is book 3 in the Shacking Up series you can totally read as standalone. Helena Hunting delivers one heck of a rom-com.

This was such a great read that I enjoyed from the first chapter to the last! When I first got the book, I did not realize that the book was part of the series and about Amalie's brother Pierce but once I figured out the connection I sooo flipping loved this book that much more. Pierce and Rian were such a great couple. I enjoyed their encounters from their first meeting. They were such a fun couple that both had issues and a past but when together they were just a well written couple with chemistry. I just enjoyed Pierce and Rian from the start and could not get enough of them and could recommend this book to others.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

Helena Hunting has given us a great novel to enjoy this summer at the beach! I thoroughly enjoyed this story of Rian Sutter and her twin sister Marley who are real estate agents on Long Island. Their goal is to move on from the checkered past of their family and make a killing in the Hamptons real estate market so they can purchase their grandmother's home, where they spent some of the happiest moments of their childhoods. However, a chance encounter in a supermarket with the devastatingly handsome Pierce Whitfield could change Rian's life forever and bring her dreams crashing down around her.

Sexy and sultry, this novel will keep you interested to the final page. Thanks to NetGalley for making it available to me for review.

This was a feel good story.

I love when characters meet right in the first chapter. You get more time with them and become more invested in them as people and as a couple.

There were funny parts through out this book. I would catch myself smiling from ear to ear at some of the things that were said and did.

Rian and Pierce are so amazing together! I loved both of them. Not once did either get on my nerves or make me want to stop reading. I enjoyed them together.

i Flipping Love You is a giggling amusement packed romance story. Helena Hunting gave so much sexual tension that by the time the fireworks happened I near spit my coffee out! I loved the chemistry between Rian and Pierce it was a hate then love relationship. They are both so damn stubborn it made me laugh so hard at times, but when you seen the softness in each it melted my heart. I have to say one of Helena Hunting best pieces of work yet!

This book had a strong leading couple with fun banter and steamy chemistry. Rian and Pierce were enjoyable to read as a couple. The way they first meet was clever, and their strong wills, witty playfulness, and some silly situations made it a good read.

There were things that detracted from my enjoyment, however. I did enjoy the brief encounters we had with Pierce's sister and found her endearing. She is the only sibling in the book that I enjoyed. I found Lawson and Marley to be a little too full of attitude (or something I couldn't quite put my finger on) to make them likable.

Also, Rian as a couple was fine, but she didn't make for a great sister. You continuously read about how they are all the other has and how they have had to take care of each other and that they have these dreams together, but as soon as a man comes along, Rian ditches her sister. Even on the day Rian and Marley are supposed to celebrate that they made a huge step toward their dreams by purchasing a house to flip, Rian spends the night with Pierce with no regard to her sister being alone. Even in the epilogue, what was originally Rian and Marley's dream is coming to fruition, but it has now become Rian and Pierce's dream. There isn't even mention of Marley...Is she part of it? Does she live there? Is she off living some other life?

Overall, Pierce saved this for me. I loved his gentlemanly yet sexy ways and his sense of humor. This is a good romance, but for me, other things distracted me. I do recommend giving this book a try; I may be a bit more sensitive to some of the secondary characters than others will be, which just leaves swoony romance and many good laughs to enjoy.

I ended this one with a big smile on my face! I wanted to hug my iPad after that epilogue. I think this one is my favorite out of the whole series. I was all about Pierce in this one. He had me giggling at some parts, loves to cuddle and he was quite smitten with Rian. Their first encounter had me chuckling. Rian was trying really hard to resist his charming ways, but once she caves, chemistry exploded all over the place! I seriously could read more with these two, I just loved them.
