Rian Sutter has gotten used to her life, with her sister the only person she can consistently count on. She's not looking to get noticed and just wants to keep her head down and focused on the goal.
Pierce Whitfield lives the life of the Uber rich, but that's not who he is at his core. He may like the finer things in life, but he remembers where he started. When faced with the challenge of Rian, Pierce is committed to getting inside her tough as nails shell. But once secrets are uncovered can they weather the storm?

So appropriate that this is set in the Hamptons because I Flipping Love You is the perfect fun and flirty beach read. Perfect for fans of low-angst, highly sexed rom-coms or maybe anyone who likes HGTV.

Rian and Marley were a hoot as fraternal twins who look but don't act alike, but the real star was Pierce who looked like he was "good at breaking hearts and bed frames". A hot, sexy lawyer with handyman skills and the patience of a saint, Pierce is probably the only person who could handle all of Rian's family secrets and insecurities. I love a good hero in chase and Pierce gave very good chase:
"You're smart and sassy and sexy, and right now all I want is for you to bite my lip like you did last night, and i'm a little obsessed with knowing what color your panties are."

I stare dumbly at his gorgeous, sincere expression.
As neurotic as Rian wants to be, the fun comes from the fact that Pierce and Rian have an undeniable sexual chemistry. Their sexy times aren't just hot, they are fun:
"You like me because I let you screw me on a dryer."...

"I liked you before that." His grin widens. "And I like you more because of that."
Rian and Pierce's supposedly casual fling is shadowed not only by Rian's family secret and tensions with Pierce's family business but the fact that Pierce and his brother Lawson are in ways competing with Rian and Marley in the Hamptons house buying and flipping market. Adding to Pierce's hotness was the fact that he supported Rian's fierce business drive and even found her mental math wizardry a turn-on.

So fraternal twins, bickering siblings, a hot lawyer in a Speedo, beach sex with sand fleas, and an adorable three-legged dog named Trip. Find a spot on the beach and enjoy this.

4.5 stars

This was actually our first book by Helena Hunting, so it was our first book in the shacking up series. But, we think these books can be read as stand-alones, but we weren't confused and didn't feel a lack of character connection after having not read the other books.
This was a very sweet romance, that had a definite sexy side to it as well. We would love to go back and read all the Shacking up books now and more from Helena, because we really enjoyed the flow of the book and her writing. We definitely recommend this one to our followers!

Another masterpiece in this series. Can I just say how much I love this series and I hope it never ends?! I really do!

This book is #3 and it stars Pierce - Amalie's brother, who's a lawyer - and Rian, a real estate agent. Although Amalie and Lex make a couple of appearances , you do not need to read the previous books in the series although you should because they are freaking spectacular!!

Pierce is taking a break from working in the family business after a mess up that cause the business some problems. His heart was never in it, and now his hear is in something else. Meanwhile he is staying with his brother in The Hamptons and they have been flipping houses and re-selling them together for fun.

Rian and her twin sister, Marley have finally got their life back on track after the chaos they were left with when their parents ran off. And they are finally close to realizing their dream of flipping houses themselves in hopes of having enough money to buy the family house they lost all those years before.

Rian and Pierce's first meeting is nothing but freaking hilarious. You can say they start off as enemies. When the misunderstanding is straightened out, Pierce knows that he can't let Rian go without exploring the insane attraction between them.

While their relationship starts based on lust, it soon becomes so much more and the summer fling has the possibility to turn into a lifetime of love and hot sex... except the pasts they have both been 'running' from catch up to them and threaten to ruin everything between them.

Will Pierce and Rian be able to move on from the secrets that are revealed? Find out in this hilarious and super sexy romcom that Helena Hunting completely rocked (like she does, every time).
Every book in this series is just spectacular. I can't wait for the next one. I hope Marley gets her own book.

If you haven't entered this world and met these characters, you can start off with this one and then read the other two or you can start from the beginning and start with the wonderful and sexy as sin, Bancroft in Shacking Up and then meet Sexy Lexy in Hooking Up. Believe me, you're in for such treats with these heroes!

I loved this story! This is a hilarious story of two competing house flippers who start off as rivals and end up in love. Helena Hunting is a master at Romcoms! I was laughing my butt off. The shenanigans were so funny! There were also moments that my heart aches for both of them. This was so much fun to read! I love watching shows about house flippers and what they go through and this gave a more in depth look at it and you see the frustrations and the joys of doing this. I was in love with Rian and Pierce! They were so perfect for each other once they stopped fighting the pull. If you love a great story, check this out! You will love them as much as I do!

I Flipping Love You is a hoot! Rian and Pierce are such entertaining characters. Pierce is so determined to change Rian's mind about him. They have a lot of fun banter through out. They are very steamy, yet sweet too. I enjoyed their story a lot and really liked the real estate side of it. I also enjoyed the cameo or two we got. This is another great addition to this world of characters.

"The desire is visceral, a shimmer in the air, a heat in my veins, and a fire in his eyes."

I have read and loved Helena Hunting's Clipped Wings series, however I Flipping Love You is the first lighter romance I read by her. Light/Funny romances tend to not keep me as hooked as books with angst or books that deal with emotional issues. However, after finishing this book I have found out that I can really enjoy these type of stories as well. The main reason I really liked this book was because of the entertaining main characters Rian and Pierce, and that there was more going on than just a romance. I loved the whole flipping houses and learning a bit more about it. The chemistry between Pierce and Rian was really hot. I just loved that these two couldn't stay away from one another. What I loved most was the funny banters between them. They both had their own unique personalities and the author did a great job in having the characters express them.

This book was very easy to read and had a great flow to it. There wasn't a moment that had me wanting to skip scenes, and that tells me that the author did a great job in hooking me to the story. I was invested in the relationship of Rian and Pierce, and I enjoyed seeing it progress during the story. The author took her time to let it grow and turn stronger. Rian first tried to resist Pierce, but he didn't give up and did his absolute best to have her agree to go on a date with him. I also enjoyed reading about the side characters, and I will definitely go back to read the previous two books in this series. I think I'll go back and read all of Helena's light and fun romances. I Flipping Love You is a great summer read that I think romance lovers will enjoy a lot.

I love Pierce and Rian! There chemistry is super hot, their story is realistic, and I want more. To find a story that is funny, heartwarming and super hot has been rare for me lately. And I love how Rian’s story intertwined with Pierces’.

The premise of this romance caught my attention immediately so I waa excited to read the story. But I never quite connected with the characters on any deeper level. There was nothing particularly bad about the writting or style, I just didn't get all the feels I expect to from a romance novel. I'd still recommend this book to romance junkies who are into DIY and home improvement.

4.5 Stars!!

This is the third book in the shacking up series and a stand alone.. Its a feel good, funny and light heart romance with right amount of sass!!
This is the story of Rian, Ryan with an "I", a real estate agent whose world collides with Pierce!! Pierce is everything Rian doesnt want - Hot, Rich and loaded... Though she poses an ice exterior, Pierce wears her down eventually.. However, she's scared to take a leap coz of her past n secrets she is hiding!!

I loved Pierce and Rian... Pierce was humorous, cool and an awesome guy.. And Rian was intelligent, strong and had the right amount of sass..
Their story was right amount of sexy, funny and sweet!!

Fun, light read. Great introduction. The mistaken idenity, and the explosive chemistry between Rian and Pierce was entertaining and light hearted. Read this in one sitting.

it was amazing
bookshelves: to-read

I absolutely loved this book. To the point that I couldn’t put it down or wanted it to end. I love the way Pierce pushed Rian buttons. She was afraid at first knowing their family history and thinking pierce would leave her but turned out that he loved her and wanted to be with her. Their chemistry was amazing. Their love for one another was indescribable. I didn’t want the book to end. Book provided by Netgalley

Epilogue

I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

It's hard to trust love on a good day but when you've been terribly disappointed by the ones that should love you the most it makes it that more difficult to open up to the possibility of love. I really enjoyed this riches to rags and back to riches love story. Looking forward to more. I volunteered an honest review for this ARC provided by NetGalley

This book was as light and breezy as its beachside setting - a light rum drink of a book, perfect for beachside consumption. And if you should happen to drift off while you are reading with said beverages on the beach and accidentally skip a few pages, it mostly won’t matter - except for a few chapters toward the end.
The protagonists are both likable. Rian is smart, funny, and fiercely independent, and Pierce is just a nice guy. The plot is low on drama and sprinkled liberally with steamy scenes. Some of the parts that I think are supposed to be funny seem just awkward, and there is a lot that seems simply irrelevant. But no matter. This is a fun beach read, not a Pulitzer Prize winner. And it is perfect for what it is.

I loved this book! I Flipping Love You had everything anyone could want in a romance. The characters were amazing, the humor was perfectly executed, the relationship was sweet, and there was added in a touch of mystery. Pierce was persistent in his perusal of of Rian. I loved watching their relationship unfold. This book stands out to me because of how well Helena Hunting wove together comedy and the sweet moments. I'm also impressed with her ability to write such an amazing hero! I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more by Helena Hunting!

I absolutely loved this book. It was funny, sweet, and a genuine fun book. It follows Pierce and Rian’s rekationship. They both have baggage and some issues to work
through to get their HEA

Sexy; fun, fast paced and sweet! I really enjoyed this book and flew through it. Pierce was lush and it was fun to watch her change as the story progressed.

I Flipping Love You is the third installment in Helena Hunting’s Shacking Up trilogy.

This addition to the series was so buffed out it became lackluster. The main characters’ development was rudimentary; recreational banging and incessant bickering leads to more banging does not a solid relationship make. Rian, the female protagonist’s maturity was not only stunted but led to offensive inner monologue’s about several minor and main characters.
Hunting used the cliché writing device of ‘let’s hold all of our secrets to the very end of the story and draw out conflict for tired reasoning. The lack of communication between Rian and Pierce was stultifying, and bred more bickering dialogue that held no pertinence to a mature relationship, which they definitely did not own.

The stories premise was an original concept that did not meet any expectations set from it’s synopsis. The book’s opening held promise with it’s wit, humor and dialogue. Unfortunately, the character’s became linear and boring.

As a Helena Hunting fan I was disappointed, especially because Shacking Up (the first installment of this series) was such a delightful, light comedy.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

An interesting premise is thwarted by lack of strong characterization. A Long Island realtor and a Manhattan lawyer keep crossing paths. Mutual bickering becomes a solid relationship, but the book suffers from telling rather than showing any development. Additionally, I have a hard time believing that any grown woman talks about her body the way the female protagonist does in this novel.
