When I signed up to read this one, I had no idea it was part of the "Shacking Up" series. Thankfully I have read and enjoyed the previous two books in the series, but if you haven't, no worries, this one can be read as a stand alone ;)

I liked book 1, really enjoyed book 2, but this one...this one I loved the most. I really liked Rian and Pierce, so that's definitely a plus, but the main reason I liked this one the most, is the fact that it made me laugh...out loud....a lot ;)

Rian is a real estate agent, living with her twin sister. These two really were a hoot. Pierce is a lawyer, he's also Amelie's brother (book 2, Hooking Up).

They meet under very strange (read funny) circumstances :P

It's all go go go from there. It was funny, sweet and sexy and most importantly, it made me feel good !!
What more does one want ??

I highly recommend this series, but especially this book ;)

An ARC was kindly provied to me, via Netgalley, inm exchange for an honest review.

My reviews are posted on DirtyBooksObsession

This book is set in the same world as Hooking up and Shacking up, Pierce is Amalie's brother so if you have read Hooking Up you would have met his character briefly there. 

I flipping love this story! Just like the first 2 books this story it's filled with lots of laugh out loud moments and lots and lots of sexy times, it's everything I have come to expect from Helena Hunting. 

The setting of this book is The Hamptons which by the way sounds freaking amazing, it really made me want to visit. 

I really liked Rian, she is feisty, headstrong and very endearing. The chemistry between her and Pierce is sizzling from the get-go. I loved how they met - arguing over who scratched his car in the middle of a supermarket! It was just hilarious. Talking of Pierce is was great too, I liked how he was all in with Rian and didn't run when she told him all about her past, also he is very swoony! 

Another character I have to mention here is Marley, she is Rian's twin sister. Marley is more of a party girl than Rian but she seems like so much fun! I know there are going to be a few more books set in this world and I really hope one of them is Marley's story. 

Overall this was soo so good! If you are going on vacation soon this is a perfect some summer read, in fact just grab a copy anyway, you will not be disappointed.

The ending was a little rushed, but All in all, it was a good, easy read, but not as dramatic as I would have hoped for. Would read more by this author.

I flipping loved this book! From the first page this book draws you in with the sassiness of Rian, and the hot, muscled, sexy, compassionate Pierce who makes you yearning to find someone just like him walking around to take home for yourself. Rian and Marley are twins, who started out in a life of privilege, but lost it all when her parents swindled people out of a lot of money and left her and Marley alone and with a lot of debt.. Pierce came from a simple background that turned into a life of privilege when his family marketed a doll with his sister in mind. The two of them meet when Rian’s sister scrapes the bumper of Pierce’s car. The way they end up meeting is hysterical, the chemistry between the two is off the charts, and their young relationship is great to watch as they figure out what it’s going to take to make it work, especially on Rian’s end. Loved the house flipping take on the story, and definitely loved the end of the book. Very well written, hysterical, witty, steamy, and definitely a lot of sass in this book. Very well worth the read!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

Rian (Ryan with an I) and her sister Marley are in real estate and working to make enough money to buy a specific house. They have been working hard to overcome a family scandal. Pierce would rather work with his brother flipping homes than work in his father's law firm. He and Rian meet in a grocery story and the rest is a cute, funny, HEA story. Although this is part of a series, it stood well on it's own.

so loved this book! helen hunting - you don't disappoint!! now I have to go back and get more of your titles! great read!

I absolutely loved this book. Helena is just a writing genius! She always draws me in from page one and I’m always wishing the book would never end. Her characters make you want to know them and her storyline flows beautifully. Would definitely recommend!

I flipping loved I Flipping Love You. It make my romcom loving, HGTV watching heart happy. It can be read as a standalone. It is loosely connected to and set in the same world as Shacking Up and Hooking Up.

The majority of I Flipping Love You is set in The Hamptons. The heroine, Rian, and her twin sister, Marley, are hard at work trying to rebuild their life. They are realtors with big dreams of flipping houses. I love the twins. They are so different, but balance each other out. Rian is definitely a sassy, fun heroine.The hero, Pierce, is spending the summer, away from the city, helping his brother fix up houses.

Rain and Pierce are a fun couple to read about. They have amazing chemistry. I loved the banter between them. I Flipping Love You is a perfect summer read.






I voluntarily reviewed an early copy of this book.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve read the two books that precede this one (each is standalone) Shacking Up and Hooking Up, and we meet the characters of Hooking Up in this book. I loved both the previous books, and there’s still a lot to like in this current one.

Pierce is a man trying to move on his life, trying to get out from under his family. Rian is a woman who has escaped from her shameful past in some ways, but in others, it continues to drag her down. They fall in love, despite themselves. As we watch the characters grow we laugh, are sad, and moved by them. We want them to win despite the odds. This is a good love story.

That said, the thing I didn’t like quite so much is that I felt I needed to know more about real-estate transactions and the business than I did. I had to stop and reflect at some points around actions that the characters were taking and their emotional reactions to them. I found that just a bit distracting from the overall plot in all honesty because it took me out of the story and into thinking about real estate.

It's relatively minor but it bumps the score down a bit more me. Still, it's not a showstopper and it could just be me, but there it is.

I wont say too much until this book is released, but wow. I have loved the pucked books for years and i am anxious for Darren's book. This new set of books that are stand alones yet connecting are everything I have come to expect from this author. The writing is nicely paced and witty and the characters are portrayed as believable and more importantly for me likeable.
I will add amazon links to my review after release day.

This was such a sweet, sexy and funny read! I loved how Pierce and Rian met! The supermarket scene had me chuckling! Pierce was determined right from the start and although Rian came across a little prickly as to giving him a chance, she was charmed just like the reader was by him. I love Helena Hunting, she has a little something special when writing romantic comedy, always laugh out loud, heartfelt and heartwarming ! I’m hoping we get Pierce and Rians siblings, Marley and Lawsons book/books at some point.

4 stars!

** arc received via NetGalley **

Generally, the book was okay. I thought the conflict between the hero and heroine could have been a bit more developed, but the author certainly knows how to write steamy scenes. Would I pick up another book by this author? Probably.

I Flipping Love You, by Helena Hunting is a contemporary romance story, and the third book in the Shacking Up series.

Pierce Whitfield is a lawyer currently on break and working for his brother on construction projects in the Hamptons, where Rian Sutter is living with her twin sister. Rian is focused on buying and selling houses, as she tries to save enough money to buy a memorable beachfront property with her sister.

Rian first meets Pierce as he angrily confronts her in a grocery store, declaring that she damaged his vehicle. Soon, it's uncovered that her twin sister is actually the poor driver and cause for the car's damage. Overall, it's a highly entertaining situation. Eventually, this mix-up and a few other occurrences lead to Pierce and Rian pursuing a romantic relationship.

I Flipping Love You is geared towards those who enjoy reading modern romances.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Helena Hunting’s sexy, sassy hilarity continues with book three of her Shacking Up series, I Flipping Love You in which two real estate brokers not only compete to get their next flip, but also to win over each other’s hearts.

Rian Sutter and her twin sister grew up privileged until their parents disappeared and left them with nothing but a bad reputation and debt. Since then, they’ve been working hard in the real estate business, and on track to save up enough money to buy a house they can flip themselves. That is until a hot a-h*le who’s determined to date her and buy all the prime beachfront properties derails her plans.

Pierce Whitfield never wanted to be a lawyer and after the epic botch up and problems he caused his father’s doll company, he welcomed the escape his brother provided by doing manual labor on some homes in the Hamptons. Especially after meeting the attractive and feisty Rian. Sparks fly between them, and when they start bidding on the same properties the competition turns those turns those sparks into a full on fire. But can they find a middle ground when it comes to the flips?

I Flipping Love You oozes with fun and sizzling romance, populated with delightful and entertaining characters. I feel in love with Pierce and Rian with an “i.” Rian is a smart, hardworking woman looking to stand on her own regardless of her father’s crimes and fortunate upbringing. Pierce, fortune notwithstanding, is just as hardworking albeit somewhat cocky.

Pierce and Rian’s meet cute was unconventional, and even though they had each other’s numbers, they kept bumping into each other, turning up the heat with each encounter. It wasn’t all just sexy times and flipping houses though, Pierce and Rian made an effort to build their relationship even though it seemed bleak at times. All relationships have their ups and downs and it was their drama free maturity when faced with problems that I loved the most.

I Flipping Love You provides heavy doses of fun banter, and an deliciously sweet romance. It’s a lighthearted read with a wonderful characters that’s sure to bring loads of smiles and laughs. A great addition to the series. Told from both points of view with a happy ending.

I Flipping Love You was my first Helna Hunting book and it won't be my last. Even though it's part of a series I fell seemlessly into the world and loved the characters. The setting, real estate and home flipping was interesting and one that felt refreshing. Peirce and Rian were likeable and flawed and their chemistry was spectacular. I'm looking forward to the next books in the series since there are some characters I'd like to see have their own HEA.

Thanks Netgalley for a ARC copy to read and give my honest opinion.

Loved it....I smiled and laughed through this whole book, so if you need a charming and funny book this here fixer upper will make your day.

Rian Sutter (pronounced Ryan) is a numbers girl where her sister Marley is the out going one. As a dual team in the real estate business they sell houses in hopes that one day they can buy and flip their own.
Pierce is a patent lawyer vacationing in the Hamptons with his brother Lawson. After a mess up with his fathers company with a personal patent he has been hiding in the Hamptons on a much needed break flipping and buying houses with his brother. One look at Rian and he's a goner.
This is a charming and sweet romance set in the Hamptons. Rian and Pierce have crazy chemistry even though Rian fights it due to her parents scheming people out of money in the past and fleeing the country. Sins of the father type deal. I enjoyed it so much, it made me laugh and cry. Five huge stars of entertainment!

Great beach read. Well written, great dialogue, fun characters, only a moderate amount of angst and it’s sexy without being raunchy. A fun, quality romance that’s humorous but not silly. I’ll be looking for more by Helen Hunting.

Kismet...Fate...coincidence...or just plain luck? Something is throwing these two together.

Pierce is tired of working just to make his old man happy, which isn't really happening anyhow.
Rian and her twin Marley grew up in the shadow of their dad's financial schemes, and are trying to make their own way in the real estate market. Rian is the more sensitive one, Marley the more impulsive and fun loving. So when it is Rian who catches the eyes of Pierce, who thinks she is Marley, sparks fly. Add in Pierce's brother, Lawson, the playboy who wants to make a quick buck, and humor will happen.

***4 ‘Chemistry Trumps Compatibility’ Stars***

No THAT was definitely an interesting way to start things off with Rian and Pierce, but it definitely hooked me and had me needing to see how everything played out for Rian and Pierce, and let me tell you there was a lot of feels going on with this one. From eye rolling to swooning to a few sniffles and some smexy and awkward moments, I Flipping Love You had everything I love in a romcom and more.

Rian, I loved this girl, I did, but damn did she carry a lot of baggage on her shoulders. Not that I could blame her. The rug was pulled out from underneath her and the fallout was harsh. But she’s a fighter and she definitely pulled herself up and put on her shit kickers. She’s sassy, snarky and has a tendency to react and speak before truly thinking things through, but her loyalty and her golden heart balanced things out...most of the time.

Pierce was a lot of fun, even if there were moments where I wanted to Gibbs smack him. Tall, dark, handsome, tenacious but definitely NOT silent, the man had all the hallmarks of good alpha AF with a sweet side that only served to make me love him, hard.

As I said, Rian and Pierce’s first...collision was definitely an interesting one, but it set the tone for their journey to the HEA and boy was it a ride. A lot of push and pull going on with a heavy dose of wariness that made things a little frustrating, but tended to be forgotten once the chemistry between them bubbled over. I loved their bantering and the flow they had, at least when the walls came down. The bumps in their road weren’t all that unexpected, but they definitely had their moments, but I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.

This was a fun read with a lot of heart and heat. The writing was engaging, the pacing was good and I enjoyed the dual 1st person POV. This one can be read as a standalone, but it will be more fun if you read the first two books as you will spend a little time with at least one of the couples. As for the supporting cast of characters, Lawson and Marley definitely added a lot of depth to the story and I’m crossing my toes that they get their own book, or books, in the future!

I loved Pierce and Rian's story! It has the perfect mix of humor and romance. I'm excited to read more from this author.
