Good gravy, Rian and Pierce were cute. From their first snark-filled encounter in the cereal aisle to their sexy-fast romance on the beach (complete with dryer sex and sand fleas, man!) to their deepening relationship as things progressed, I liked them.
I always have a soft spot for snark, sass, and sarcasm. Let's face it, Rian and Pierce excel at all three.
Pierce is also a hearty believer in cuddling. He cuddles. A lot.
While Pierce is a self-avowed cuddler, Rian is prickly. She often speaks without filtering and she's pretty darn suspicious. Also, she's a master at pushing people away when things start to get heavy. Which Pierce is NOT cool with. But then, he calls her on it and is good at making her face what's bothering her. Eventually. Things like that take time and perseverance and Pierce gives her both.
This is the first book I've rad in this series and I dug it. Fast-talking, filterless ladies make me smile. The men who slip under their prickly exteriors make me smile even more.
All in all, I had a good time with this one and that's what it's all about.
I received an ARC of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting is tied to the world of her Shacking Up and Hooking Up books but can be read as a stand-alone. At the age of 18 Rian Sutter and her sister Marley had their lives upended when the fraudulent empire built by their father came crashing down and their parents fled leaving the twins to deal with the fallout. Needless to say Rian has trust issues. Pierce Whitfield is taking a break from his high flying life as a lawyer in Manhattan to spend the summer buying properties with his brother in the Hamptons to renovate and rent out or flip. They meet when Pierce mistakes Rian for her sister while trying to track down the woman who scraped his car and drove off. Sparks fly and continue to fly as they keep meeting unexpectedly. This is a super hot and steamy summer romance, the perfect beach read and I enjoyed it very much. Publishing Date May 29, 2016 #IFlippingLoveYou. #NetGalley
Seriously funny story! Fate was definitely working to create their relationship! Loved the character interaction and loved that the ladies were flipping houses too. A different take on that Billionaire businessman hero! Loved how strong the heroine was!! Rian went from riches to rags to Standing on her own 2 feet! Can't wait to read more from Helen!
My first time reading this author ‘s work. I fell in love with a great story of two sisters attempting to get their life together, after their father swindled friends, coworkers, & investors in real estate deals. Pierce Whitfield was a lawyer for his father’s firm but did not enjoy his work. He & his brother started investing in real estate & flipping houses in the Hamptons. Pierce & Rian have an altercation in a grocery story & karma keeps happening to them. This is a fun read & lessons learned in the process. Great book & writing! Loved it!
I enjoyed this novel far more than I expected to from the cheesy cover. I'd never read this author before and was impressed. Helena Hunting actually made me laugh, which rarely happens especially in a romance novel. The erotic scenes were steamy and I wanted to read them over and over again. The chemistry between Rian and Pierce was off the charts. Thank you Netgalley, I'll definitely look for more books by this author!
5 Flipping Stars
I loved this, classic Helena Hunting, I was cracking up right at the beginning. I Flipping Love You is tied with favorite, Shacking Up.
Pierce and Rian were smoking hot! They had no problems in chemistry portion or finding locations for quickies, only just breaking down Rian's walls.
"We’re having a sleepover. We’re going to do this all night, and I’m going to cuddle you like a motherfucker after finishing sexing every last orgasm out of you.” ~~~Pierce
Side characters had me rolling!!!! Marley and Lawson really added to the humor in this one.
"You ask. You're fucking one of them. Shouldn't you know what's coming on the market? What'd you do, premature ejaculate or come in her eye or something?" ~~~Lawson
If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading a Helena Hunting novel, you need to stop what you are doing and download one STAT! And to think, I almost passed on reading Pucked because someone took issue with the gratuitous use of the word beaver and I worried that I would too. Not the case and since then, I’ve read everything I could get my hands on. Ms. Hunting’s books are such light, funny, easy reads and I enjoy them so much.
<i>I Flipping Love You</i> is book number three in the Shacking Up series. They are all stand alone but do yourself a favor and start with Shacking Up. You won’t be disappointed.
I managed to go into this book without reading any descriptions. All I knew is that this was about flipping (duh, the title) and that Amalie’s brother Pierce was one of the main characters. After Bane and Lex, I knew I was gonna fall in love with Pierce too.
Rian, who’s in real estate, and Pierce, a lawyer who’s side hustle is flipping houses with his younger brother, meet in the most awkward of situations. Despite the immediate fireworks, Rian shuts Pierce down because the cocky asshole is too tempting. After multiple run-ins, where Pierce grows on her like a barnacle, Rian submits and queue explosions.
Things are never as simple as we’d like and our lovebirds soon find themselves on competing ends of the flip market. Can business and pleasure remain separate when hearts are involved? Throw in the fact that Rian has some walls up a mile high to guard some mega secrets and you'll understand the obstacles these two face.
All in all, this was such a light-hearted read which I really needed. Glad I can count on Ms. Hunting to deliver!

I Flipping Love You was so perfect! It had the right amount of romance, tension, banter, it was just so good, and hilarious! For sure one of Helena’s best books! I absolute loved it!
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley
It took me to read half of the book to realize that Amalie is THE Amalie from Hooking up. I know I know I'm a bit slow, but I figured it out on my own slow self.
I love this author and this series it has given me so much fun and happiness and this one wasn't different.
The banter between Rian and Pierce is just so much fun and it made me laugh so much! I just wonder how you pronounce Rian I always say it like RIan instead of Ryan. I just wondered that while reading.
The only thing that I had was that the end was so see through probably because it's something I wished and read previously in others. You can't make that better or different it was fantastic! I loved the epilogue it was so good! I want more!!
I loved Trip as well even though we didn't get to see a lot of him he still is adorable!
Loved it all!! I have pre-ordered my paperback already! I'm not so patiently waiting for it!
Thank you so much to Netgalley for the ARC!!
Received from NetGalley for review.
Four out of five stars.
This author is new to me, I know she has quite a few books out but I like to read the series, once all the books are finished. Took a chance and very much enjoyed this one. Now I have Helena Hunting marked as watched.
Pierce is a lawyer, not a happy one, and is busy helping his brother with flipping houses. He was working for his father in patent law and made a small but big error, so he has some free time on his hands. He meets Rian in the grocery store thinking she hit his Tesla.
Rian is trying to reach goals she has set for herself after a scheme by her parents leave her and her sister in debt. She is well on her way when she is face to face with a hot angry guy saying she backed into his car.
These two end up bumping into each other in odd places, one while Rian was on a date. This book is very funny throughout and emotional at the end. I’d like to see Rian’s parents get the justice they deserved for what they did to their daughters, even though they are not seen or heard from.
I took away a star because of Rian putting her walls up and dismissing Pierce as he would just leave if he knew the truth.
I will definitely read this author again.
I Flipping Love You was an enjoyable romcom read from Helena Hunting. Rian is a real estate agent/flipper living in the Hampton’s with her sister, and trying to move on from a scandalous past that she didn’t choose. Pierce is a patent lawyer in NYC who is taking a somewhat forced break in the Hampton’s for the summer. Buying and fixing up rental properties along the beach and living with his younger brother. All it takes is a fender bender, a hit and run, and a case of mistaken identity to bring these two together.
What these two have can only be described as constant kismet. Even though one party is reluctant to admit it there is chemistry, attraction, and tension between them. Combined with the fact they can’t stop running into each other... how can they avoid the inevitable? I enjoyed Rian and Pierce’s relationship. While all the characters in this book can be over the top at times, it works for me because this is a romcom. I also felt like the angst/drama in this book was reasonable and handled well by the characters. The banter was pretty funny. The naughty bits were sweet and steamy. It’s just a fun, easy, and enjoyable read.
I really enjoyed Rían and Pierce’s story. It’s definitely a swoon worthy romance with a quirkiness to it.
This book, gah! Just so you know, I usually stay away from contemporaries. They're a hard sell for me most days. But, I LOVE Helena Hunting. She writes strong characters, especially females. And she did NOT disappoint. Rian is freaking hilarious and smart. She's witty and has a backbone. And Pierce and Rian together was so freaking fun to watch. The sweetness and funny situations were almost too much. So much sugary sweetness I could.have.died! Ok, just trust me and read the book. You will not be disappointed.
I truly believe that Helena Hunting is just pure magic. Everything she writes has the most fantastic characters, wonderful plots, and the best sexual chemistry ever! I Flipping Love You is a MUST read for any Helena Hunting fan!
Rian and Pierce meet in the most unusual way but the sparks are flying from that moment on and I’ve got to say, they stole my heart from that first chapter. Their story was sweet and sexy, there was just a smidge of drama and a whole lot of HOT sex! I loved watching Pierce and Rian keep their work/life balanced and watch them fall so completely head over heels in love with each other. There were plenty of hilarious moments as well as the feel good, sweet moments that Helena always gives us.
I Flipping Love You is the third book in the Shacking Up series and while it can be read as a standalone, why would you want to do that? Go back and read about Bane and Sexy Lexy because I’ll tell you...Pierce is giving them a run for their money! This book was just the perfect romcom/feel good romance I needed. This is the perfect book to kick off summer!
I really enjoyed this book. It's a great romance novel to curl up with & read in a day. Rian & Pierce meet in a case of mistaken identity in a grocery store. He thinks she is the one who hit his car in the parking lot another time, but it's actually her twin sister, Marley. Once this gets straightened out, they realize there are sparks flying between them. Rian has a secret though that she doesn't want to have to share. Will Rian get over this hang up & give Pierce a chance? Will Pierce get out of the family business or have to head back to Manhattan at the end of summer? Highly recommend reading this book to find out.
I really enjoyed this book. I love how Pierce and Rian (with an "i" met. The chemistry was there right from the start and their relationship was believable. This book was hot but also had a great storyline. I love how Rian wasn't afraid to speak her mind and gave him the middle finger at the restaurant when she thought he was on a date...I laughed out loud because I do that too. The ending was just so touching....right back to the scene of the crime. I can't wait to read more.
Devoured this in one sitting. Helena Hunting has very quickly become one of my all time favourite authors, and tjis book most certainly didn't disappoint. Pierce is the perfect mixture of cocky a-hole and swoon worthy hero, while Rian is fierce and sassy and just a little bit broken. The story was brilliant, a great balance of funny, angsty and sexy. A fantastic read!
I can usually finish a book in a day and this one took me three. Once I put it down I did not feel the urge to pick it up again. There was nothing I did not like about the book. It was all fine. I just did not find any aspect of it particularly compelling. I honestly never thought I would find one of Hunting's books boring but I really did with this one.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
