Loved!!
I have yet to meet a Helena Hunting book that I haven’t fell in love with. I Flipping Love You was cute, sexy, and such an adorable read. I had a smile on my face throughout most of the book.
Right from the start you could feel the connection between Rian and Pierce, and omg the banter between these two was hilarious!!
Rian works in real estate with her twin sister and they both want to start flipping houses to help them raise enough money for their dream home.
I loved Rain! She’s stubborn, independent, and takes no crap from anyone. She has a secret past, if anyone finds out it could destroy everything!
Pierce, I have to say I wasn’t a fan at first. He comes off as a major jerk, so cocky and full of himself. As I read on I fell for him.
My favorite part of the book? When they first meet. You need to read it in order to find out!
Loved this book, and even though it is book 3 in a series it can be read as a standalone, but seriously all the books in this series are great reads!!

In the fashion true to this author, she has written another memorable story where you can’t come away from reading it without several sighs, numerous awww’s, countless laugh out loud tears, heart stopping intimacies, and just a plain emotional attachment to the characters.

Also in true Ms Hunting’s writing genius, she has crafted another story with a wickedly smart dialog, wry and over the top witty banter...the way Rian’s inner monologues unfurl is a marvel...characters oozing with mouth watering sexuality, and best of all a story that leaves a impression...Pierce and Rian have become one of my all time favorite couples.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

The best word for this book is, charming. Pierce and Rian are adorable. Rian is gorgeous, outspoken and intelligent. A trifecta that Pierce finds irresistible. . Pierce is tall, dark and handsome but is also the perfect combination of alpha and swoon.. From his pet dog to his cuddling preferences he's as perfect as they come. The low level drama is reconciled quickly and sweetly. Yet another reason to love Pierce.. I did love this story and it's premise. This is actually a perfect weekend read just to escape for a few hours to be entertained.

Sensational. I Flipping Love You has laugh out loud moments, sexy time and romance that are all well timed and perfectly meshed together.

Helena Hunting has a fantastic writing style that grabs you at page one and keeps you turning the pages. Her corky dialogue, humor and attention to detail are nothing but outstanding.

I’ve followed Helena for quite some time and her books just get better and better. This standalone had all the feels and is a must read!

SHE’S GOT CURB APPEAL

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 inadvertently catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her, all bets are off…

HE’S A FIXER UPPER

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?

I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, set in the Shacking Up world, follows two people, both working in real estate, who find themselves vying for the same properties in the Hamptons, leading to a sometimes-not-so-friendly competition.

I loved every minute of this book! Rian & Pierce's story was beautifully written! I laughed out loud several times while reading their story. Their banter was priceless and chemistry was smoking hot! I highly recommend this book!

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?

XOXOXOX Helena Hunting's sense of humor never fails for me. I had a smile on my face for most of the book. Pierce and Rian definitely had chemistry AND compatibility, no matter what those pesky tests say! ;)

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’.

Was this review helpful?

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!!

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
