I devoured this read. I really enjoyed this age-gap forbidden storyline with a few twists. I was hooked from the beginning with Cosy and Griffin‘s banter. Their chemistry is scorching hot and I didn’t want to put it down. Definitely a must read in this series. I highly recommend this book.

Are you Ready For this laugh out loud, sexy summer read from the shaking up series? Cosy Felton enjoys her interesting job, well enjoys the paycheck, working in the adult toy shop until the very sexy Griffin Mills walks in needing help getting items for a batchelor party. He is gorgeous and not what she was expecting when she came to work that day. Can she help Griffin without him turning red with embarrassment? Griffin didn’t want to get stuck picking out sex toys for a bachelor party but when he meets the sales clerk he changes his tune real fast. Cosy and Griffin are adorable together. This is Book 4 in the series but can be read as a standalone. This is a feel good, easy read great for the summer! Told in dual POV. I love these Mills’ Brothers!

I really hope you are following the series that began with Shacking Up, Uh still love Bancroft and so far is my favorite. Anywho we met Griffin in that book and we knew that he was a long term relation and there are other secondary characters that you would understand the dynamics more and how some of the situations that arise will just make more sense. I liked Cosy and considering how serious Griffin was it became refreshing for him. I enjoyed the story, couldn't believe that Armstrong just continues to get worse, and enjoyed the little tidbit of previous characters, that was also my only issue with this book, I wanted more from Bane and Ruby, and from Lex and Amalie, I so miss that crowd.

Forget the "meet cute", and run right into the "meet awkward" with this one. From the sharma in the boobs on, I was hooked on Griffin and Cosy's store. There was laughter, love, sexy times, and yeah...a couple of crazy things thrown in their path to an HEA, but a rocky road sometimes makes for smoother sailing later. This was truly just a great book!

Making Up is a laugh out loud romantic comedy. Told from dual points of view, Making Up follows the story of Griffin and Cosy. Cosy has a some what unconventional job, yet she's really good at it. If you're feeling awkward, she knows just how to put you at ease. So, when Griffin walks into her store, for the first time ever, she's knocked off her feet. He overwhelms her, but that won't stop her from doing her job. Griffin is in Vegas for business and somehow got the short end of the stick and was stuck having to get gag gifts for his friends' bachelor party. He's in way over his head and that's where Cosy comes into play. Not only is she charming, but she helps him get all the items on his list. Cosy thinks this will be the last she'll ever see of Griffin, but she couldn't be more wrong. Griffin is drawn to Cosy in a way he can't explain or understand. He'll do anything to get her to take a chance....

Making Up is a hilarious and awkward read...and I mean awkward in the best possible way. Cosy and Griffin couldn't be more opposite from one another, but neither can deny the pull they feel. Cosy is young and a total free spirit. But don't let her age fool you, she is a lot wiser than one might expect. And then you've got Griffin. He's older, more mature and is used to getting his way. He makes Cosy feel like a million bucks and will stop at nothing to make her his.

Overall, I thought this book was a really fun read. I loved the awkward moments and the sexy ones too. It's impossible to not fall head over heels for Cosy and Griffin. These two are just so much fun and I loved getting swept up in their story. Sure the road to happily ever after was filled with some bumps and drama, but what good romance isn't. At the end of the day, this book had me in stitches with laughter and left me with a huge smile on my face. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Heh. The Mills family are a fun bunch, aren't they? I mean, sure, Griffin was dealing with things when we first met him (and by that, I meant he was still sort of stinging from his former fiancee's sudden break-up and not really looking to step into a new relationship), but the brothers were a HOOT once Griffin reconnected with them in New York. (And now I'm planning on going back and reading the brothers' respective books because HA!)
As for Cosy, she's a certified free spirit. There are enough years between Griffin and her that they're both a little outside their comfort zone in that regard AND she's kind of nicely unfiltered and un-jaded. Which Griffin appreciates. She goes into their relationshippy thing knowing it's going to be short term since he's only in Vegas for a limited amount of time.

She also has no idea who he is outside some guy who works with hotels. So that reveal made things interesting. And the thing with her sister. And the stuff with his cousin, etc.

Yeah, the Mills family are a fun bunch. They're smack dab in the middle of a whole bunch of crazy and I got a kick out of them AND watching Griffin and Cosy fall for one another.

Oh how I love Helena Hunting books and the Shacking Up Series has been fantastic. Making Up is a great addition and one I enjoyed quite a bit. This book focuses on the third and final Mills brother, Griffin.

Griffin is one of the heirs to Mills Hotels. He works mostly with the numbers and is often sent to check out hotels that the company could potentially buy to increase their footprint around the world. He's currently in Vegas to investigate the latest hotel in their cross-hairs. He's recently been burned by his former fiancee, so he's not looking for anything serious on the romance front.

Cosy Felton is a college student who is working to finish her degree, but she also works at a sex toy shop to earn a living while she does so. She's young, only 22, and while she's wiser than her years, she still awkward at times and is still learning about life. She loves adventure and is one of those kinds of people that lives each day to the fullest.

When Griffin encounters Cosy when he has to go buy items for his buddy's bachelor party, he's immediately taken by the pretty story clerk. He does something he never ever does and he goes back to the store weeks later to ask Cosy out. While neither is wanting something serious, they enjoy one another's company, their chemistry is palpable and they just click. Will their age difference and the difference in their backgrounds end up and cause problems in the end? Or will they be able to overcome all the obstacles in their way and prevail?

I enjoyed these two characters and how this story unfolded. They may be from very different worlds, but they just seem to click. The things they had to overcome were real-life issues that I thought were tackled very well. I was surprised a couple of times by the way the story went, but I trusted Helena and in the end, it all worked out as it should.

I definitely would recommend adding this to your summer TBR!

Making Up was so much fun to read. It had the same feel as Shacking Up or the Pucked series. Basically, it had the over the top humor I've come to love from Helena Hunting.

Cosy wasn't quite a Violet, but she had a quirky sense of humor and self-confidence. I didn't expect her to be as mature as she was, and I loved that. Her romance with Griffin was adorable from the start.

Griffin came across as slightly uptight, but only because he was wealthy and established. Oh, and like ten years older. The age difference between the two of them was smart. It added this fun aspect to the story. It gave Cosy a way to make Griffin slightly uncomfortable.

The romance between Cosy and Griffin wasn't quite a slow burn, but things happened slower than I expected. I loved that their relationship had a natural feel to it. Things progressed in a believable fashion and they really got to know each other before diving deeper. There were some predictable parts of their relationship, but there were also some big surprises.

Making Up is the fourth book in the Shacking Up series, but it did feel like a standalone novel. Sure, there were cameos by some previous characters. Their presence wasn't a walk down memory lane, though. They popped in to help Griffin out and that was it. It was fun to see them, but a reader could totally start the series with this book and be good.

Overall, Making Up was super entertaining and filled with characters I adored. It's one of my new favorite Helena Hunting books.

Making Up is the latest installment in Helena Hunting's Shacking Up series, following the oldest Mills brother, Griffin, and Cosy, a college student working in an adult toy store in Las Vegas. I can't do this one justice with a summary so make sure to check out the blurb.

Griffin is sexy and Cosy is fun. I loved that there was a lot of relatable relationship banter and thoughts, particularly about their 10 year age gap.

There's something revealed at 35% in that I don't have a problem with, but I don't like the way that it was revealed. I'm also not sure I liked having the rich boy, poor girl trope on top of an age gap since it felt like too much of a power imbalance when all Cosy wanted was to be equals. She's good at demanding her space and holding her own though.

There's also some really big drama in this book that ends up playing how exactly how I thought it would and while it resolves itself, I felt like we could've done without it.

It's no secret, I am in love with Helena Hunting's steamy and hilarious Shacking Up series. Griffin had some big shoes to fill because Bane had a pet ferret and I had 2.5 books to fall in love with Lex. There's only the tiniest bit of Bane and Lex in here, and only mentions of Amie and Ruby.

As characters and a couple, Griffin and Cosy are lovable, but this plot fell short for me. I wish it was less about external drama and more about their relationship struggles.

Thanks so much to St Martin's Press and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is part 4 of the Shacking Up series, but can be read as a stand alone. Griffin Mills is the oldest Mills brother and he works for the family Hotel empire. He has recently broken off his engagement and is in Las Vegas for work. Griffin wonders into a sex shop in Las Vegas to get gag gifts for a bachelor party where he meets Cosy. Cosy works at the shop while she is finishing her degree in Hotel Management. Griffin is extremely embarrassed, and Cosy decides to flirt with the hot guy to increase her sale. Two weeks go by and Griffin shows up at the shop to ask Cosy out. Normally Cosy wouldn’t go out with a customer, but Griffin charms her. I loved both Griffin and Cosy, and while they were very different people they worked together. This is a fun, steamy read that is perfect for beach or poolside reading. I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review.

I’ve seen it said in articles before, Helena Hunting is the queen of romcom. Because really, she is. There’s no debate.

Her books are always the perfect mix of charming and sexy, as well as being able to make you laugh out loud and tear up when it pulls at your heartstrings.

Making Up is another hit for Hunting.

Cosy is a sassy and delightful free-spirit with a heart full of wanderlust. Griffin is romantic and born to be in love, and the perfect amount of alpha male without coming across as domineering.

Watching them grow and fall for each other was delicious and entertaining. What I always love about Hunting’s books is that there’s an angst filled conflict that causes Drama™ but she delivers it in a way that’s natural and makes you unable to stop turning pages.

Hunting’s Shacking Up series has quickly become an all-time favourite because each book is unique and has its own voice. They’re so filled with love and characters that steal your heart.

Making Up is really sweet with Griffin and Cosy at the helm. This book gave me ALL the feels. I was laughing and feeling angsty and angry and then back to being totally in love with Griffin. I was worried for awhile that we wouldn’t be getting Griffin’s story. I kept hearing about this chick named Imogen. I’m not gonna touch that, other than to say that HH will break your heart and then fix it again before the end of the story.

It was a sweet, sassy, and an emotional read. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one is no exception. I definitely recommend this book, this series, and this author.
