Definitely Mrs. Hunting is the queen of comedy romances, and this time brings us a story completely fun, light, sexy, sweet, fresh and too addictive that you will not want to miss, I was hooked from the front page and I devoured it in one sitting, I practically inhaled the pages.
I do not know how the author does it, but with each new story she overcomes herself. I completely loved the story of Pierce and Rian. I fell in love completely with this couple, perfect for each other.
And let me tell you that Pierce will make you fall at his feet, a good boy who steals your heart from the first moment. We already had a glimpse of Pierce in Amie's book, but honestly I did not expect to like him that much, sexy, sweet, and obviously super hot, he had me drooling throughout the story. He almost stole Lex's place in my heart with his sweetness.
Rian, I loved her, a great protagonist, who in addition to being beautiful is super smart, brave and super independent, funny, sassy, she has to start by her own because her family lost everything, but she and her sister have the opportunity to get ahead with the business of real estate and flipping.
The chemistry in the first encounter is instantaneous and sparks fly among them, the attraction is practically palpable through the pages, and they continue to meet in random circumstances. But despite chemistry and attraction, due to family circumstances and goals, Rian does not want to give in to what she feels. And Pierce wants to stop being a lawyer to dedicate himself to what he like most, so that makes them not want to get involved with the other.
In spite of everything, the attraction is more, I loved seeing how they were opening with the other despite their initial problems, their scenes are very hot, dirty, and sexy. As the plot develops, the chemistry increases and as they get to know each other, they develop deeper feelings.
The story in general is great, it is light, with a touch of anguish. The characters are fun, well developed. I loved accompanying this couple during their journey, I laughed out loud throughout the book, I sighed, I blushed, the dialogues melted me and in general left me wanting more.
Of course I loved Marley and Lawson, and the appearance of Amie, and I hope the author gives us their story at some point.
Super fun, sexy, light, sweet, highly recommended for those who love rom-com like me.
I adored this book and couple! they were sexy and fun! the story was engaging and entertaining! I want more!!!
This book was great! I loved the tenacity of Rians work and hope to read marleys story next!
3.5 stars
I have to say I was totally looking forward to another book by Helena! But.....it fell a little short for me. There is no comparing it to her other works at all, but it felt off. I didn't really like Rian all that much to be honest, she just got on my nerves. I loved how persistent Pierce was, but not how prudish Rian was. Maybe I will give it a go again later? I know sometimes a second chance is usually a better read, maybe it will be true for this one. I am and always will be a Helena fan, this one just fell flat for me this time.
Another amazing read by Helena Hunting! This story is equal parts laugh out loud funny and oh so swoony. I adored Pierce, sexy and sweet. Rian is strong and sassy and unlike her original thoughts compatible with Pierce. Hysterical banter and scorching chemistry equals a fantastic read. Highly recommend this book!
I Flipping Love You is an adorable, fun, sexy read about two mismatched people falling in love. There is a lot of witty humor and great dialogue. I loved the characters. The female protagonist is strong, independent and very stubborn. The male is sweet, sexy and very patient. Together they make a dynamic couple.
This is the third book in the series. I had read (and really liked) the first book but hadn't read the second book yet. I was able to jump right in without feeling like I was missing anything. I will go back at some point and read the second book since I've enjoyed what I've read from the series so far.
This book is a quick and easy read. Lighthearted and fun which is what I think Helena Hunting writes best. In fact, I found myself "flipping" through the pages rather quickly. : P

Dude.....Pierce....I finished last night and I can’t stop thinking about him. Pierce is everything and Rian, I loved her. Rian is fierce and loyal and just awesome. I wanted to yell at her a few times to get her head out of her ass because hellooooo PIERCE. Amazing read, lots of laughs and heart. Another 5 Star from Helena Hunting.
This fun, often funny enemies-to-lovers romance was the perfect read while sitting in a waiting room for a long time. I even forgot the uncomfortable chair and the horrible muzak as I fell into the lives of Rian, who with her sister Marley, have managed to pull their lives together after being dumped by unscrupulous con artists parents, and Pierce, whose dad started out humble but has come up in the world.
Marley is a bit of a loose cannon, which begins with her scraping Pierce's Tesla in a parking lot, and driving away. He corners Rian in a grocery store, thinking she's the culprit, and demands restitution, she fires right back at him, and the fun begins.
Here's the thing about the enemies to lovers trope. I've enjoyed it ever since I saw Taming of the Shrew as a high school student. But, unlike many readers, I lose interest fast if the two characters descend to bickering and stay on that same note through the book until the magical sex scene at the end that Cures All. A lot of readers like that, or such books wouldn't be best sellers, but it doesn't hold my interest.
Hunting does a great job of handling the emotional roller coaster while the sparks fly, tempered by the high octane attraction between the two. There is a ton of exuberant sex all through this book, but Hunting doesn't make sex a cure all. In fact, both have to deal with the emotional fallout of their attraction in convincing ways, adding in Rian's trust issues due to her background. I felt their coming together at the end was earned, not thumbed in by the author.
The only complaint I have is small (Marley is pretty much forgotten at the end). Otherwise I adored the minor characters, especially the older women who showed up here and there, and I found Pierce's brother Lawson, in his own way as much of a loose cannon as Marley, interesting.
Add in a lovely setting (the Hamptons in summer) and some fascinating deets about real estate, which made for a very satisfying read.
This book is top notch amazing! I love these characters and how they met in the grocery store by the cereal, it justs sweet. Oh the build up between Rian and Pierce is great! I love the back and forth between them. One of my favorite parts is when they are at the fancy restaurant and go to the bar an his ex is sitting there and Rian tells her off! Sweet mother that was amazing! She verbally laid down the law for Pierce and it rocked! So many funny parts like sex on the beach, never a good idea! Really great writing with fun situations and characters! Really enjoyed this book green speedos, spiked lemonade and homemade cookies really a treat to read!
Ok first of all, this cover is totally eye-catching. I love it. Anyways.
What a funny love story! So many crack-me-up moments. Rian (sounds like Ryan) has a billion walls up and doesn't see how awesome she is. She dates safe guys to keep from getting hurt. The dynamic between her and her sis is so fun to watch- almost as fun as her and Pierce, who's nickname might as well be ahole with as many times as she calls him that.
Pierce is persistant, and confident, cocky but down to Earth. He may have flashy things and nice suits, but he's not a jerk or a player. Just a great book boyfriend. And OH I need to mention the chemistry! Let's just say they are very creative and have a hard time resisting each other. The ending was cute, amusing, and unique. Two big thumbs up from me, and I look forward to more from Helena and hopefully some side characters get a book next.
I flipping loved this book! I think this series gets better with every book.
This is a standalone and it’s not necessary to have read the other books in the series first. Honestly, I’ll admit I couldn’t remember who Pierce was and had to go back to the prior book and check. (He’s Amalie’s brother who helped her with her divorce.)
This author’s characters are always so likable to me. Pierce may be rich, but he doesn’t act entitled. He’s sweet, and caring, and funny. Rian is strong, independent, and a hard worker. I could easily be friends with these people, provided I could keep my tongue from hanging out around all the male hotness.
Helena’s books always have the right mix of humor and sweetness for me. If I find myself in a book slump, her books never fail to pull me right back out. I highly recommend this book and this series.

Somehow I didn't realize until I started reading I Flipping Love You that we had already in a roundabout way met Pierce! He is Amalie's brother, from Hooking Up!!! Let me just tell you that it pretty much made my day to realize this! It's the little things in life for me. I absolutely devoured Rian and Pierce's story.
Rian and Pierce had quite a rocky start and a case of mistaken identity. These two were dynamite together, their sexual chemistry and and compatibility were off the charts even if Rian wanted to deny that they were truly compatible.
One of my favorite things about this story is that it didn't feel like the obstacles they faced in their relationship were overly contrived. Yes, Pierce is hella wealthy and yes Rian has a crazy backstory, but even with those things in play here, the story felt authentic in a way that a lot romantic comedies can't quite capture.
I really enjoyed seeing the relationships that both Rian and Pierce had with their siblings, the strong bonds were so enjoyable and really made it fun to read. I'm wondering if Rian's sister and Pierce's brother will end up together, although for some reason I have a feeling that they won't because that feels to predictable. One thing I do know is that if Helena writes it, it will be perfection She has quickly become one of my top authors and auto-buy for me.
Helena Hunting once again wrote a story with characters that you want to be friends with and the kind of love that wish you could find in a hilarious unputdownable book. I Flipping Love You is a must read for all romantic comedy lovers!
Helena Hunting has hit it out of the park once again with your next must read! I Flipping Love You is an instant winner following Rian & Pierce's fated love story. Two people trying to make a new path for themselves that also keeps pushing them together. Rian tries to fight the pull but Pierce's natural charisma and charm is hard to turn down. The sparks that fly are brighter than the sun and definitely have you heating up! But it's not just chemistry that has you invested in these two characters but their genuine goodness & perfectness for each other. Pierce is really a good guy and Rian is smart, sweet and funny.
And bonus, if you read Helena's previous reads Shacking Up & Hooking Up then you'll get a peek into what Amie has been up to since her story. She's Pierce's sister! Win!!! I loved her!
Helena's trademark wit & style is at it's best in this new read. It's one you don't want to miss!

Helena Hunting is a wonderful writer and I enjoy reading everything she writes. Her newest story, I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, is engaging and filled with banter, sarcastic remarks and sexy scenes.
The story begins when Rian and Pierce meet in a grocery store. As soon as they meet, they can’t ignore the sexual tension sparking between them. They immediately start trading quips while Pierce tries to talk Rian into going out with him. While Rian is attracted to Pierce, she has learned to stay away from rich, good looking guys with big egos. Pierce is intrigued by Rian and chases after her but she keeps refusing to go out with him. The more she pulls away, the more he chases. Rian pretends to be annoyed with Pierce but secretly she is thrilled.
Pierce is a wonderful mix of arrogant, vulnerable and sensitive. He is a dirty talking sexy guy. He is confident and goes after what he wants. Even though it takes him a while to convince Rian to go out with him, he never gives up.
Rian is intelligent, beautiful and covers her insecurities with a sassy attitude. She is outspoken and isn’t afraid to let Pierce know what she thinks. She has always been afraid of relationships because she has some family baggage she is embarrassed to share with anyone.
I found myself immediately transported into this entertaining story. Pierce and Rian are realistic characters and it is easy to connect with them. I also enjoyed all the interesting secondary characters. This is a perfect mix of funny and sexy.
Holy WOW! This book FAR surpassed my expectations in the best of ways. I LOVED this book. I was DRUNK on it. I didn't want to put it down. In fact, if I could have I would've climbed right into the book and immersed myself in these characters lives! How in the HECK is this my first Helena Hunting novel? How come no one told me what a fantastic and HILARIOUS author she is!?! HMMM???? Joking aside, this is one my my absolute FAVORITE books of the year. I don't even care. It's got everything that I crave in a romance- a swoon worthy hero who is more interested in a relationship than the heroine, a sassy and FUN heroine who is as cute as a button and sweet as pie (also her sarcasm is top notch), a gorgeous setting that is described so well that you can practically taste the salt of the ocean and the sun on your skin, humor that is up to par with my favorite writers Meghan Quinn and Tara Sivec, AND a beautifully uplifting romance that will make you SWOON. Sheesh, this book has EVERYTHING. I HIGHLY recommend readers grabbing a copy of this novel the SECOND it hits the shelves because it is so damn good.
I Flipping Love You tells the story of Rian (that's RYAN with an I- she is a GIRL) and Pierce. Both live in the Hamptons. One has a ton of money, the other is making a life for themselves after some unfortunate events within their family. When their worlds LITERALLY collide (a shopping cart, car mishap, and anything else that brings the crazy), they can't help but be drawn to one another (one more so in the beginning- it's so damn cute). Their relationship at first is merely based on coincidental meetings, but soon feelings begin to sore and what happens next... Well, you would have to read it to find out!
This book brings flipping houses to the next level! Readers are going to LOVE the banter between Rian and Pierce and their slightly dysfunctional relationship. You are going to find yourself giggling the whole way through, and blushing from time to time. But the best part is the way they seep into your heart. Obviously, I HIGHLY recommend this book to romance fans and everyone else who needs a good laugh. So make sure to grab a copy when it comes out on May 29!
This book was everything I needed exactly when I needed it. It's sexy and funny and surprisingly sweet.
Helena Hunting has mastered the rom-com. If you are looking for something that will make you laugh and leave you with a smile, she's your girl! She never fails to write men I fall hard and fast for and women that I want to be when I grow up. I Flipping Love you fit the mold perfectly. I can't remember the last time I read a book that had me laughing through the sexy times. And, as strange as it may sound, it just worked.
Pierce and Rian are perfect together. Pierce is charming with loads of swoon while Rian is sassy and independent. They're both smart and flirty and the chemistry between the two of them just sizzles!! They're funny when they shouldn't be and serious when they need to be. The push and pull made for great banter and gave me the giggles from beginning to end. There are a few serious moments but nothing too dramatic. It's a light-hearted and easy romance that's loaded with feels that kept me turning the pages.
Overall, this book is laced with humor, a little emotion and lots of cuddles. It flowed well and everyone was easy to connect with. It's low on angst and high on laughs. The side characters were a lot of fun and really added an extra level to the story. I thought it was the perfect combination of sexy and sweet and I really hope this isn't the end of this funny, eclectic group. I read it in one sitting and didn't want it to end.
Also, I will never look at green Speedos and Cinnamon Toast Crunch the same way again.
What can I say about this book, aside from I FLIPPING LOVED IT! Helena Hunting delivered an adorable, fun, and sexy read with I Flipping Love You. I’ve enjoyed all the stand-alone novels from her ‘Shacking Up’ series, but this is my favorite so far!
Pierce and Rian meet in a grocery store in the most uncanny way. Seriously- this book had me rolling with laughter from the first few chapters. There aren’t many authors who can make me laugh as much as Helena Hunting can. Rian and her twin-sister are a hoot, and Pierce is a bit of an ass… at first anyways.
As much as Rian wanted to deny it, she and Pierce had a huge connection from the very start. Their chemistry is completely undeniable. Rian is a bit on the stubborn side, though. It takes her a while to come to terms with Pierce. I could understand, after learning about her past, why she was the way she was though. Pierce was amazing. There was some push and pull between the two of them, but I wanted them together so badly!
If you’re looking for an entertaining, funny, light-hearted, and steamy read, pick up I Flipping Love You. Helena Hunting does not disappoint when it comes to romantic comedy!
This book was absolutely hilarious! I loved the dynamics between Pierce and Rian. Their first interaction was absolutely priceless. Rian was mistaken for the actions of her twin sister and she was all too willing to let Pierce know what she thought. Do you think this would turn him off and stop wanting that first date? No, it only made him want her more. She was refreshing. Something different. He needed that in his life. Someone wanting him for who he was and not based on who his family was. You will laugh all the way through this book. Now if Marley had a book it would only get better!
OMG! This story was just too cute for words. It was funny, sweet, cute and sexy all at the same time. I absolutely adored Pierce and Rian. Their chemistry was undeniable. Their banter was so much fun. I was smiling throughout this whole story. There were lots of heart stirring moments too. And definitely a lot of awww moments. Did I already say I loved Pierce? I want a Pierce now. He's just so cute! And those of you who follow my reviews know I'm not crazy about first person POV but for Helena Hunting I endure it and am never disappointed with her stories. I highly recommend this wonderful love story.
This was so darn perfect!
From the first moment, to the end of the epilogue, this is a wonderful, sexy, smart, funny, saucy, story of a boy, who meets a girl, chases said girl, and they fall madly in love with each other. They both were less than open about everything in their lives, but then again, this was only supposed to be a summer fling. No need to reveal all your heart depth matters regarding your family when you're saying goodbye come September
Bit by bit, Pierce and Rian get to know more about the other. Little by little, that fiery burn of attraction flames higher. Moment by moment, their hearts start to feel more, and not falling for the other person isn't an option. When it all finally appears to come together, the cracks appears
Rian has all the reason in the world to be suspicous, and Pierce knows he should be careful, but past experiences get smashed to smithereens. Needless to say, I was in tears for these two, sad and happy, the last two chapters. There isn't a big moment for these two, just some small ones that reveal everything, and prove they are going to be okay this time
Again, a perfectly sexy love story about a boy who meets a girl, and they fall in love with each other over the course of the summer!
