i really enjoyed this one! Pierce and Rian were both great characters and i loved that it wasn't over the top unnecessarily angsty. the ending was adorable and i might have gotten a wee bit teary. i loved the side characters - and of course, seeing amie and lex again. this book was funny and sexy and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Statutory warning : Pierce Whitfield is a hot Flipper, I Flipping Loved Him 💖
Holy Hot Pockets.
He should probably come with a warning, like: Panties may combust if you get too close, or something. 
He and his dog rent named Tripod for nothing!;)
The story is straightforward but has some really scorching scenes that'll keep up your folds nice and moist, but please don't read it lying in a beach, cause the sandflees are nasty!!😜
Rian Sutter & her twin Marley Sutter are hardworking, sexy young newbie Estate Agents and are in head-on collision course with the Whitfiled brothers- Pierce & Lawson. Over busted cars, flipping houses, bumping pretties and Garden Gnome pranks. It's a light fun read with some wet-eyes moments. 
Seeing both these firecrackers in motion action is very arousing . Kinda like “Being in the same vicinity as the two of you is like . . . . . . like tripping on ecstasy while shooting opiates.” 
Explosions, and not of the skyward bound kinds!!
The chemistry is off the charts, the relationship is very compatible, and the story is Hilarious and page turning
Chemistry trumps compatibility 
Go grab it !

Rian and her twin sister Marley lived a privileged childhood until they turned 18 and their world was turned upside down. They have picked themselves up and have made a career for themselves as real estate agents, but their real interest is in flipping houses.

Pierce is taking a summer break from his high stress career as a lawyer and plan to take some time to smell the roses and maybe flip a house or two with his brother while he is here.

Their relationship starts out with a bang when Pierce believes she was behind a hit and run accident to his car, but they soon determine that it was her twin that was the culprit. Pierce is intrigued and attracted to her feisty personality and no sooner do they get the accident resolved then they find they are vying for the same piece of property. Let the games begin!

I loved these two characters as Rian past has only made her stronger and Pierce is determined in everything he does and that includes winning his girl. The banter between them is humorous, their chemistry hot and their knack for challenging each other constantly makes for some fun interactions. This is a heartwarming and hot story that doesn’t disappoint. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this story of enemies to lovers! The chemistry from these two was electric. But it was so much deeper than that. With Rian’s past and the connection that Pierce had to people from her past, it wove such a complex and endearing tale. This fun, beachy read had me grinning from ear to ear, and the added element of House Flipping and renovations made me feel like I was watching one of my favorite shows. Helena can do no wrong when it comes to romance. She always makes you feel like your in the story and makes her characters so relatable that you will always root for them!

4 "Flipping Happy" Stars!!!

I Flipping Love You gave me all those warm and fuzzy feelings. With the likes of enjoyable characters, this romcom brought the laughs and also the swoon. I've always been a fan of Helena's writing and this book proves just how true that is.

Rian with an "i" not a "y" was such a spitfire. She's a real estate agent/flipper. Living in the Hamptons with her sister, and trying to put a past that is not favorable behind her. She's doing what she loves and in her way she's trying to right some of the wrongs along the way.

Pierce is a patent lawyer in NYC. But an unfortunate situation has him spending his summer in the Hamptons. There, with his younger brother they buy and fix up properties on the beach. And Pierce finally feels like he's doing something he loves and making the most of it.

And oh how these two meet. Their first encounter paves the way on how Rian and Pierce would come to be. From the beginning its obvious of their instant connection. Though because of a misunderstanding and a few choice words takes a backseat at them being together. The chemistry is there, but someone's stubbornness gets in the way. You know it's a sign for them to be together when they keep running into each other at every turn. It's not if, but when they get together because it's inevitable.

Once again I'm left with a smile on my face after reading a Helena Hunting book. I Flipping Love You had me laughing and smiling so big. Swooning over a Hero that brought the charm and a heroine that gave just enough sass. Definitely recommend this romcom.

4.5 stars for an adorable romance.
I’ve read a few books by Helena Hunting before, but this one was without a doubt, the best yet. I loved how even though there was some angst, it didn’t overshadow the whole story. Rian and Pierce were a wonderful couple. I loved how supportive Pierce was even though he wasn’t looking for much beyond a summer fling at first. Rian was a bit prickly as Pierce pointed out and he loved to push her buttons, sometimes just to get a reaction. But, the chemistry between them was palpable, it burned through my kindle with each page that they shared together.
I enjoyed the interaction between the secondary characters too. Rian and her twin sister Marley were extremely close, and Pierce was close to both his siblings too.
This was such a great story, I just can’t fault it.
Wonder who’s story will be next? Marley or Lawson?

Loved this book. There was great interaction between the main characters and strong supporting charactoers as well. Hopefully we'll meet up with the siblings of H/h at a later date. Lots of humor and "real life" situations to enjoy.

I was interested in reading I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting for two reasons. This past winter my husband watched countless and I do mean countless DIY home improvement shows. I never really saw these people as having real lives, hence I wanted to see how someone else imagined it. Second reason is the description, “He’s a fixer upper”; now that one line brought the troll song from Frozen straight to mind. I couldn’t wait to see how it all played out.

From the beginning this is one funny read. Romantic, yes, steamy, oh yes but so very funny too. I thought that Rian Sutter would come across as a poor little rich girl well, former poor little rich girl. No she is a much better character than that, along with a much more developed character than that. So is Pierce Whitfield. Together these two are competitive but, oh so hot. Flipping houses on TV never looked to be this much fun.

I received a free advance copy of this book from the publisher at netgalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review. This is the first book that I have read from this author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading more of her work.

Rian and Marley Sutter are fraternal twins who have been on their own since they were eighteen when their grandmother died and they were left by their parents with huge debt. They have been building a real estate business in the Hamptons, trying to sell enough homes, so eventually they can start flipping homes. Marley scrapped the paint off of a Telsa in the grocery store parking lot and took off. The owner, Pierce Whitfield, witnessed it and when he sees Rian in the same store the following week, he grabs her, not realizing that they are twins and he grabbed the wrong one. Rian is the responsible one and he is entranced with her from first sight, so he does what he can to get her info while negotiating the repairs and is unrelenting in trying to spend more time with her. She puts him off, because whatever happened with her parents ten years ago has left her not trusting anyone but her twin. But fate steps in, and they keep bumping into each other. Although a patent lawyer in NYC, he is in the Hamptons for the summer, helping his brother buy property for rentals. With similar interest, Pierce and Rian find they make a great team.

The characters are appealing and the story steamy and engaging, with witty dialogue and always nice, a dog.

Hilarious story! I’m a twin and although my sister isn’t scatterbrained like Marley, I could definitely see this happening to us! Time hasn’t changed the fact that some people only see what they want to see, and being a twin makes this so much more apparent.

It made me laugh and relax – another story to read until the wee hours because there wasn’t a good place to stop reading!

Marley and Rian Sutter are trying to rebuild their lives after their parents destroyed the family and their reputation. Buying, selling, and flipping real estate is what they know and their hope is to buy back their childhood home in the Hamptons, Mission Mansion, which was previously owned by their grandmother. Things seem to be going their way until two brothers, Pierce and Lawson Whitfield, also decide to buy and flip houses.

Lots of flirting via texting and face to face. Rian and Pierce can’t seem to stop the attraction between them but she doesn’t think it is a good idea to explore it. He’s never seen a challenge that he couldn’t win and that includes a woman.

Loved the interactions and HEA!

I received an ARC from the author for an honest and unbiased review. No compensation was promised or received for the review.

I Flipping Love You has the three things I’ve come to expect from a Helena Hunting book- humor, heat and heart. From the unusual & hilarious first encounter to the oh so sweet epilogue, the story keeps you wanting more. The sexual chemistry crackles between the self assured Pierce and independent Rian as the rivals fight & ultimately succumb to their mutual attraction. Part of a loosely connected series, this enemies to lovers story makes for an enjoyable summer romp full of romance & fun.

In I Flipping Love You, Helena Hunting gave me everything I love about her books. Hot guys (even in budgie smugglers- green ones) lots of funnies, and a unique plot. Oh yeah, all the steamy schmexy times you expect from this author.

This is what I call a great beach read. It’s fun and flirty. Doesn’t take itself too seriously (most of the time) and is utterly perfect.

I flipping loved this book!

From the moment I sat down and opened up my kindle, I just couldn't get enough of Pierce and Rian. I love her name by the way :) Pierce isn't your typical a-hole type, nope on the contrary. This man, even though he was rich, successfully and gorgeous, he has a heart of gold. He wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone a person.

When Pierce and Rian first run into each other, it isn't in the best of circumstances, but they get to talking and trying to negotiate a hit and run accident that left Pierce's Tesla with a nice big scratch. Even though Rian didn't do it, she holds herself responsible and is negotiating with Pierce to get that resolved and in the process Pierce is trying to score a date with Rian.

But there's more to the story and I just ain't saying more (my lips are sealed). You'll have to read it in order to find out what exactly this book is about. But don't worry, you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

It's just so funny how they both go about doing things. They are the cutest couple and Ms. Hunting's humor in her books always has me giggling my head off.

I love Helena Hunting and all the books I've read from her so far have all been a top read for me.

Again, I flipping loved this book!!

I Flipping Love You had me smiling from
the very beginning! It’s pretty much everything I crave in a RomCom.
Helena Hunting does this sub-genre so incredibly well and this story was no different.

Rian and Pierce have quite the first introduction.
I felt their chemistry immediately and so did Pierce. It was quite enjoyable seeing how persistent he was in making sure Rian admitted it too.
All their fated encounters had be laughing and swooning away.

The author did a great job on building up their relationship. Their banter was witty and hilarious; their chemistry was off the charts. I couldn’t get enough of them.

There was just enough depth to both characters and believable drama to balance out the light-hearted moments.

A fun, sweet and steamy read that I absolutely enjoyed.

A light hearted romance full of humour and a touch of angst. A great easy, fun read, by a great Rom Com author.

The characters had wit and sassiness along with hotness that you come to expect from Ms Hunting along with the quirky characteristics that make them stand apart.

Pierce, a lawyer, who has an incident with his car, finds the woman he believes caused it and ran. Rian, tries to tell him he’s wrong, but what can you do when you have a sister that looks exactly like you !

The story flows well and I enjoyed it, the characters we meet along the way added more depth to the story that I already enjoyed and left me wanting more x

I just loved this book... In fact, I have become obsessed with Helena Hunting. She has written a series that hit every mark for me. I read most of them while I was not in the privacy of my home... which meant Numerous Times, I was either laughing out loud or looking over my shoulder making sure no one could see the delicious, sexy, wonderful words that were consuming me.

NSFW took on knew meaning when reading during my breaks and lunch.

By far my favorite in the Shacking Up series and I flipping loved it! Once again Helena Hunting penned a super sexy and fantastically witty rom-com that I truly enjoyed.

What started off as a hit-and-run fender bender and a case of mistaken identity, Pierce and Rian made an immediate connection. Their romance, brimming with laugh out loud moments, a bit of drama, and a heavy dose of sensual chemistry, was an amusingly steamy read.

Rian Sutter, a real estate agent who doubled as a home flipper, struggled with finances after her parents left her and her twin sister virtually destitute. Saving every penny in hopes of buying back her grandmother's mansion in the Hampton's was her sole focus. That is until Pierce Whitfield, a broody-hot and swoon-worthy lawyer (who's also into fixer-uppers) entered her life in a whirlwind and under less than happy circumstances. From their awkward first encounter to finding true love, Pierce was annoyingly adorable as he wormed his way into Rian's heart.

Rian was a likable heroine. Uptight and set in her ways, she was overly stubborn while fighting off her intense attraction to Pierce throughout most of this read. Skeptical and quick to misjudge his intentions, Rian's family history tainted her trust in others and romantic relationships. It took some time, but Pierce's persistence in breaking through her tough as nails demeanor brought out the sweet and loving side to Rian's character. I loved all his smooth and charismatic ways. Funny and quite the charmer, he went above and beyond to prove he was worthy of Rian's heart and a hero who could make all of her dreams come true. All the while, I relished every moment of their sizzling hot passion, as well as their comical back and forth banter.

Another fun and lighthearted romantic comedy from Helena Hunting that I highly recommend. I'm addicted to this author's tales, her humorous writing style and most of all, her over-the-top looney characters. As always, looking forward to more great reads from one of my favorite authors.

One of my guilty pleasures is watching tv-series about flipping and redecorating houses, I just can’t stop watching them. Why? I really don’t know. Maybe for all the ideas for my own house? (Poor hubby, hahaha) I Flipping Love You is the story of Rian and Pierce, who happen to be in the flipping houses business. So, as you understand, I had to read this book. I’m glad I did, it made me giggle and swoon.

“He may be right about the chemistry, but there’s no way I’m going out with him. That’s a recipe for certain disaster.”

Rian and Pierce had very different childhoods – she grew up with a lot of money and he didn’t – but as adults they both work hard to achieve their dreams. Both aren’t there yet, but each has some sort of plan. For Rian life isn’t easy because of her past, to say her parents made some dubious decisions is an understatement. It makes her a guarded person, who keeps people at a safe distance. Pierce is at a crossroad career-wise; continue working for the family business or starting a totally different career. When Rian and Pierce meet it’s not actually love at first sight, but there are lots of sparks.

“Please hold your cheesy lines.” “You really are beautiful.” “You can stop now.”

Rian, I feel sorry for her and I admire her. She went from having everything to having nothing, but she doesn’t give up. She wants to make it on her own (with her twin-sister Marley) and leave the shame that comes with her family behind. Pierce is at a place we all know in a way; continue with the job you don’t really like or try to build a career that makes you happy. Rian tries to keep Pierce away and is not to subtle about it, Pierce is exactly the opposite and lets Rian know he’s interested. The banter between our lovely couple is hilarious, and you just know they’ll end up together.

I Flipping Love You is actually my very first book by Helena Hunting, and I love it. I love Rian and Pierce, and how the author has written their story. It has its very funny moments, but it’s serious where it needs to be. Nothing over-the-top or unrealistic, just two people falling in love and working their way through the cut-throat house market on The Hamptons. This is definitely not my last book by this author!

“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.”
