A deliciously sexy enemies to lovers romance story by Helena Hunting packed with humor, a bit of angst, secrets, mistaken identity, fate, undeniable attraction, sizzling chemistry, and hot and dirty scenes. I Flipping Love You is everything a romance should be. I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book. |
I have enjoyed quite a few of Helena Hunting's books, and really have enjoyed the Shacking Up series, so I was excited about I Flipping Love You. The title alone is attention-grabbing, and describes this book perfectly! Rian and Pierce meet in the grocery store. Rian had a tough upbringing, and is just trying to pull herself together enough to flip a beach house with her sister. Pierce, too is having a tough time. These two had a huge connection that was undeniable, and this book kept me laughing the entire time! Helena Hunting continues to write fun, romantic comedies that I can't get enough of! I definitely recommend I Flipping Love You! |

This is the story of Pierce and Rian and is part of the Shacking UP series. Each book can be read on it’s own, but it’s best to read them in order. Helena Hunting delivers a fun and sexy read. Rian and her twin-sister are cute and funny together Pierce is a bit of an ass in the beginning. This story is entertaining, light-hearted, and at times, a steamy read, I loved the feel good feel of the story. It is a quick and easy read, a cute, funny enemies-to-lovers romance. A copy was provided by NetGalley |
Rian and Pierce are great, especially their first meeting when Pierce mistakes Rian for her twin sister who hit his car and took off. Also love the scene with Pierce and his sister in the restaurant. The first 50% was a lot more engaging then the second half. Maybe it was the extended family drama and the ending advanced the relationship quite quickly. |
Helena Hunting, queen of romance. Writer of deliciously sinful stories. Her books are morish as fuck. Kinda like a tub of ben&jerry's ice cream. You know that shit isn't good for your health but it's just asking to be eaten. Yes, that's Helena Hunting's books for me! So damn good I'm always left wanting more but always left with a damn book hangover!(see, not good for my health!!). I mean you know shits going south when the story starts with a hit & run AND a case of mistaken identity. Hilarious would be an understatement. I laughed so hard at so much of the story in the best ways. Rian and Pierce created so much fire and sweet. Rhian is set out to prove to the world she isn't her parents whilst Pierce is escaping a life he can't face. Together they embark on a crazy ride of hilarious mishaps, chance meetings, sweet romancing and some smoking hot lovings. It isn't all sunshine for them but there is very little angst. They fit perfectly so as a reader it was easy to relate and connect with them as characters making is all the more believable. The story flowed seemlessly, the characters fit perfectly and that ending was so damn sweet I had toothache. I have zero complaints here I could have easily read more just because that's how easy it was. It's a sweet romance with a boatload of humour, a few misunderstandings and real chemistry. It's an easy enjoyable read that I didn't have to put effort into reading I just opened the first chapter and BHAM!!! I was sucked in to all the crazy never to be seen again until the end. I can't recommend enough. I kindly received this ARC from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. |
Rian and her twin sister live in the Hamptons. They are in real estate, but their dream is it to flip those run-down quality houses near the beach until they have enough saved to buy the one they really want: their grandmother's mansion - which their parents sold before leaving them behind - with lots of debt and legal problems. But now things are looking up ... finally. Enter Pierce. Mega rich New York lawyer. He's in a bit of a overworked-lawyer crisis. He needs to get away from the city to recover from a mistake he made at work. And so he ends up in the Hamptons helping his brother buy and flip houses. And then Rian and Pierce meet. And it's not a good first meeting. He accuses her of hitting his car and she accuses him of sexual harassment. Both not really true - because it was of course her sister who rammed his car last week - and fled the scene! But now Pierce is mega interested in Rian ... but she's a bit stubborn. She's not looking for anything serious and especially not with a sexy rich guy. Bad experiences with those!! But Pierce is NOT giving up and Rian won't be able to resist forever ... and then there's also the tiny little problem, that they're both interested in all of the same houses!!!!! LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN! WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH RIAN & PIERCE? WILL THERE BE A HAPPILY EVER AFTER? READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺ ══════════════════════════ description description 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 was the most adorable Romantic Dramedy!!!! Funny, sweet, sexy! I just LOVED it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Pierce - this one is MINE!!!! |
This was a really nice addition to the Shacking Up series. I absolutely adored the first, and the next two haven't <i> quite </i> lived up, but they're damn close! In this installment, we have Rian, the dependable twin of Marley, who's involved in real estate in the Hamptons and running away from/trying to hide her family's notorious past. Then we have Pierce, an all-around great guy, loyal to his family for all their faults, doing patent law for his father's company even though he doesn't love it. He's in the Hamptons for the summer flipping houses with his brother, Lawson, who's quite an interesting character. These two get thrown together time and again in the beginning by coincidence, but their chemistry is off the charts. Sometimes writers get out of control with forcing flirty banter, but this is not the case here. I loved that Rian didn't want to be attracted to Pierce but just couldn't help flirting back and playing along. I think the middle my have dragged a little bit, but it's also possible that I wasn't getting a chance to read very frequently so I was only reading about a chapter a day. That might've made it seem slower than it actually was. Either way, the end was fantastic. It could've been considered predictable, but the author put a nice spin on it. Overall engaging story, interesting side characters, and wonderful hero and heroine. |
I loved this book- best in this series. Pierce was a book boyfriend extraordinaire! He was a triple threat of cocky, funny and dangerous to the heart. His quick wit, fast timing and relentless pursuit of Rian made him pull in that status quite early in the book. He never once fell down on the job of being the kind of guy you can't help but love immediately and root for the whole book through. Rian too was equally multi dimensional. Quirky, fiercely loyal and protective of her twin . Some one who gives little out in order to avoid being hurt. She was a strong formidable challenge for Pierce and it was fun to watch her walls tumble. This was seriously a fun way to spend my day reading a wonderfully written romance. I smiled quite a bit, laughed with these characters and found myself rooted to the pages to see if Pierce manages to overcome and get his woman. A must read for sure! Happy Reading~ Sherry |
4 Stars! So in love with the Shacking Up series. You can't help but to fall in love with the characters and their heartwarming stories. Rian and Pierce meet in the best way. He literally mistaken her for her twin. And let's just say that Pierce is NOT happy with Rian's twin sister. Although, there is attraction pretty early on, and Pierce tries multiple times to get a date with Rian, she holds steady with a resounding, "no." Rian has her reasons. Her life was upended in prior years and she, along with her sister are just trying to make a successful living. Rian doesn't have time for dating. Pierce and Rian keep running into each other. It is inevitable that they will connect at some point. Their relationship started off slow but then blossomed in the sweetest way. At first, I wasn't sure about Pierce's character. Since I actually read I Flipping Love You book before the prior which is Pierce's sister's book, I would have met him earlier. I loved him in Amalie's book. While there are some conflicts and a bit of angst, as well as a secret or two, I enjoyed this book. I wasn't frustrated with Rian's stubbornness and her trying to push Pierce away. Especially because of his adorable persistence. Pierce was romantic and sexy. That said, I wasn't the biggest fan of Marley who is Rian's twin. Nor did I care for Lawson. But towards the end of the book, they grew on me. In fact, I am hoping the author will give us a book featuring them together. They seemed to be perfect for each other. I don't want to spoil anything but when you read this book, you'll see what I mean. This is my honest an unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :) |
I Flipping Love You is the 3rd book in the Shacking Up series can be technically read as a stand alone. I almost did just that but at the last minute decided to binge read the first two books plus the novella in the span of two days and I have no regrets! Helena Hunting is fantastic at developing characters you can't help but love. Rian is a girl who doesn't acknowledge her own beauty and is full of attitude and sass. Her sister is her number one priority, and she keeps her hurt locked up tight. Her past has left her with major trust issues and a lack of confidence. Pierce is damn sexy and he knows it. He is trying to change his current career path and trying to find something that will make him happy. Neither Rian or Pierce are looking for a relationship when their paths cross but the sparks are undeniable. The banter back and forth when they are together is funny and the sexual tension and chemistry is intense. Pierce knows exactly how to push her buttons, and she can dish it right back. “That wasn’t very nice.” A tremor runs through her. “The part where I saved you from the dangerous seaweed, or the part where you dragged me into the water . Or are you referring to me kissing you ? Because I thought that was very, very nice, actually.” I Flipping Love You was a great addition to the series and I hope she continues to write more. I wouldn't mind reading books about Rians sister or Pierces brother in the future. I definitely recommend this book and the others in the Shacking Up series to rom-com readers. 4/5 Stars |
I Flipping Love You Helena Hunting 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent!! Flipping loved this one! As always Helena Hunting never fails to entertain her readers. Such a great quick and easy read. 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… Pierce Whitfield doesn’t normally demo kitchens, install dry wall, or tear apart a beautiful woman’s dreams. He’s just a down-on-his-luck lawyer who needed a break from the city and agreed to help his brother work on a few homes in the Hamptons. When he first meets Rian, the attraction is undeniable. But when they start competing for the same pieces of prime real estate, the early sparks turn into full-blown fireworks. Can these passionate rivals turn up the heat on their budding romance―without burning down the house? Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review. |
A great meet-cute and tons of mouth watering swoon mixed with just the right amount of angst for a real great romcom. I love a man who can rock a suit and melt my panties by working with his hands! Pierce will have you licking your lips and saying YUM! Rian is sassy and you’ll love her! A witty fun read with laughs, squirming heat and will leave you sighing with a goofy grin. A light-hearted, feel good page turner of fun! |
I don’t know how I missed it, but I had no idea that this book was set in the Shacking Up world. Imagine my surprise to learn that Pierce is Amalie’s brother and not only did we get to see Amalie (whom I love), but we also got a tiny Lex appearance (swoon). Anyway, back to I Flipping Love You...what an awesome book. It was funny, sexy, sweet and exactly what I’ve come to expect from Helena Hunting. I am absolutely in love with her writing and her characters. I love that I can be laughing out loud one minute and then swooning the next. I love that the characters are relatable (even when they’ve got money). Rian is the kind of girl you want as your best friend, although she also reminds you so much of yourself it’s sometimes scary. Pierce is the kind of guy you make your book boyfriend. These two are perfect for each other and their story is one you can’t miss. Helena Hunting has quickly become a must buy, must read, must stalk author. I highly recommend her books to anyone who will listen to me. Do yourself a favor and read this. Although it is the third book in a series, it can be read as a standalone. |
I FLIPPING LOVE THIS BOOK. From the moment I started reading I was hooked. Every time I read one of Helena’s books I know I will always have a smile on my face and will definitely be LOL. Pierce & Rian will give you all the feels. From the moment they meant you could feel the connection that they have and I loved every minute of their story. Another phenomenal read that once I started reading I didn’t want too stop. |
As always I read one of your books, I am totally satisfied with the result, this book is very good, it has romance, humor, good story, light, fluid, its characters ( Rian and Pierce ) are endearing, strong and with character, I love them I liked that you brought to the story familiar characters, I loved it, a thousand congratulations for this that will undoubtedly be another great success |
5 delicious stars Definitely Mrs. Hunting is the queen of comedy romances, and this time brings us a story completely fun, light, sexy, sweet, fresh and too addictive that you will not want to miss, I was hooked from the front page and I devoured it in one sitting, I practically inhaled the pages. I do not know how the author does it, but with each new story she overcomes herself. I completely loved the story of Pierce and Rian. I fell in love completely with this couple, perfect for each other. And let me tell you that Pierce will make you fall at his feet, a good boy who steals your heart from the first moment. We already had a glimpse of Pierce in Amie's book, but honestly I did not expect to like him that much, sexy, sweet, and obviously super hot, he had me drooling throughout the story. He almost stole Lex's place in my heart with his sweetness. Rian, I loved her, a great protagonist, who in addition to being beautiful is super smart, brave and super independent, funny, sassy, she has to start by her own because her family lost everything, but she and her sister have the opportunity to get ahead with the business of real estate and flipping. The chemistry in the first encounter is instantaneous and sparks fly among them, the attraction is practically palpable through the pages, and they continue to meet in random circumstances. But despite chemistry and attraction, due to family circumstances and goals, Rian does not want to give in to what she feels. And Pierce wants to stop being a lawyer to dedicate himself to what he like most, so that makes them not want to get involved with the other. In spite of everything, the attraction is more, I loved seeing how they were opening with the other despite their initial problems, their scenes are very hot, dirty, and sexy. As the plot develops, the chemistry increases and as they get to know each other, they develop deeper feelings. The story in general is great, it is light, with a touch of anguish. The characters are fun, well developed. I loved accompanying this couple during their journey, I laughed out loud throughout the book, I sighed, I blushed, the dialogues melted me and in general left me wanting more. Of course I loved Marley and Lawson, and the appearance of Amie, and I hope the author gives us their story at some point. Super fun, sexy, light, sweet, highly recommended for those who love rom-com like me. |
I adored this book and couple! they were sexy and fun! the story was engaging and entertaining! I want more!!! |
This book was great! I loved the tenacity of Rians work and hope to read marleys story next! |
3.5 stars I have to say I was totally looking forward to another book by Helena! But.....it fell a little short for me. There is no comparing it to her other works at all, but it felt off. I didn't really like Rian all that much to be honest, she just got on my nerves. I loved how persistent Pierce was, but not how prudish Rian was. Maybe I will give it a go again later? I know sometimes a second chance is usually a better read, maybe it will be true for this one. I am and always will be a Helena fan, this one just fell flat for me this time. |
Another amazing read by Helena Hunting! This story is equal parts laugh out loud funny and oh so swoony. I adored Pierce, sexy and sweet. Rian is strong and sassy and unlike her original thoughts compatible with Pierce. Hysterical banter and scorching chemistry equals a fantastic read. Highly recommend this book! |
