Fresh, hilariously cute, touching and mysterious at times, Wren and Lincoln’s story is very entertaining. I just love this author’s brand of enemies-to-lovers romance.

The relationship between Wren and Lincoln is believable. Despite their differences, their chemistry is so wonderful and undeniable. The thing I loved the most about them was how honest they were with each other, they cleared all misunderstanding just by talking, there was no pointless drama.

I liked how the plot mostly focused on the development of the main characters. The plot wasn't super intense, the tension was mostly to find in the way Wren and Lincoln’s romance developed and in their conflictual relationship with Lincoln’s family. Their relationship develops while working and interacting together. Their constant bickering about Wren's micro-management of Lincoln's life brings them closer. I loved the transition of their relationship from being awkward to being able to communicate well with each other. Their romance was so heartwarming and I loved the way they stand by each other through thick and thin.

Lincoln is determined, genuine and headstrong. He chose his own path in life, but his father’s recent death changed everything. His family needs him to manage the company and he doesn’t like his new life. Lincoln and Wren have been thrust together by circumstances and needless to say sparks fly.

Wren may not have Lincoln’s privileged background, but she makes up for it in spunk and intelligence. She was hired to manage Armstrong Moorehead’s reputation in the media and overhaul his disastrous public image. She is efficient, shrewd, witty and has managed to keep Armstrong under control. I loved Wren’s character so much. She was so strong and a pure force to be recon with. She keeps Lincoln entertained, she is snarky, pushy and he appreciates that she refuses to bow to him.

With everything they go through, I was so glad that they were able to get the happy ending that they deserved.

I discovered the talent of Helena Hunting in 2016 when I read the Pucked series. I'm a huge sucker for rom-coms so I wanted to read everything else she wrote too. Later that year, when I read the Clipped Wings series, I became a fan for life because while HH can write the hell out of a rom-com, she also comes correct in the angst department.

Handle with Care is the perfect blend of angst and hilarity. Anyone who has read any of the books in the Shacking Up series probably hates Armstrong Moorehead. Lord knows I do so that made me so much more curious about his brother, Lincoln. How could I possibly love a character who's brother might be my least favorite character of all time? It's easy actually because Lincoln is the BEST!! He's a humanitarian, he loves his family, and he is H.O.T. Seriously, he might be my favorite in the entire series.

Wren is so fierce!! HH writes some pretty amazing leading ladies and Wren definitely fits in with the rest. She stands her ground, she knows some crazy self defense moves, and she goes for what she wants.

I can't imagine two characters more perfect for each other than Linc and Wren. I was glued to my kindle from start to finish. This book is worth every single second of time and sleep I lost reading it. I am totally addicted to this series and don't want to see it end. After Handle with Care, I could even go for a HEA for Armstrong (what??!!)!!! This world is one I'd be happy to visit forever.

Lincoln and Wren will have you falling in love with them from page one to the epilogue. Lincoln big hearted, eco friendly hunk of a man that loves to help people. He is big In making the world a better place. A complete opposite of his family. However, with the death of his father, he must return to New York and help run the family business. He had been out of touch for a while and finds that he has a handler to help him adjust and get him through without embarrassing the family. Wren is also a good person. She has a strong moral code. She is able to stand up to Lincoln even though he pushes all her buttons. The two find themselves Caught up in secrets, lies and attraction. Through it all you will laugh and keep the pages turning.

Helena Hunting's latest, Handle With Care was awesome! I was totally in love with Lincoln from the start and Wren was the best!

Funny, relatable and so damn Sexy! Wren and Linc's story was a blast to read. I laughed, I got mad, I swooned!! 😂😡😯 As usual Helena Hunting writes a story that gets into your heart and mind and makes you feel!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars for making my top 5 summer reads!!!

This was my first Helena Hunting book and I am already looking for my next read of hers. I loved how humorous a lot of her writing was and I’m just in awe of how subtly she developed the romance between her two main characters. Wren and Lincoln started out as grudgingly getting along when they first met to becoming friends and finally giving their attraction a chance. Nothing was rushed or made out to be weirdly fantastical in the sense that they jumped into things too quickly.

I definitely feel like I missed out on a few things starting out with this series in book five so I definitely want to go back and read her other books. Overall though, this was a quick and sweet book that had me smiling from beginning to end.

Lincoln has spend most of his time avoiding his family because of all the drama. When his father dies, Lincoln is left with the family company much to his brother's objection. Wren has been working to keep the company out of the scandals of the media. She is tasked with helping Lincoln look like the CEO of the company. She never expected to fall for her boss. Lincoln never expected to be attracted to a woman like Wren. A wonderful office romance that I recommend.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

OMG, I FLOVED Lincoln and Wren. This will definitely be on my top reads for the year!

I adored Wren from the moment we meet her on the page. She's a girl who can take care of herself and strong, funny, witty and the perfect match for the lumberjack turned GQ modern man - Lincoln.

Lincoln is nothing like his family and was quite the surprise to Wren who was hired to handle Lincoln's younger brother - keeping his indiscretions out of the public eye. So when Wren gets handed Lincoln to make him pleasing to the public eye - she never expects to fall for the guy. 

These two were fun and super sexy together. Lincoln is definitely the jelly to Wren's peanut butter, they were just the perfect fit from the start. I loved Lincoln's transparency. What you saw was what you got. And coming back to deal with his douchbag brother and uptight mother while trying to figure out why his now-deceased father was always so absent from his life growing up. This is a book that will have you laughing and crying and taking you on a rollercoaster of a ride!

Absolutely LOVE!

Handle With Care is the love story between Wren the handler/babysitter and Lincoln Moorehead, the acting CEO. I wanted this story to be so much more. I wanted more push and pull between Wren and Lincoln. Wren is a PR consultant hired to repaired the image of the scandal ridden organization of Moorehead Media mainly because of its current CEO, Armstrong Moorehead. She hopes the assignment will open doors to pursue future endeavors in funding her own passion projects.
When the prodigal son, Lincoln returns home for the funeral he is not a happy camper. He has managed to distance himself from his family and only endure enough until he can return to his life away from Moorehead Media. Suddenly he finds himself the acting CEO and dealing with Wren.
Wren transforms Lincoln from a bearded mountain man to Mr. Madison Avenue CEO. Their attraction grows as they spend time together ultimately in a secret affair. Lincoln's mom and brother is very much against it. Gwendolyn and Armstrong are desperately trying to retain control of the family business, money and status. This is the angst of the story. As family secrets are revealed, Lincoln has to focus on reconciling his past relationship with his father.
As you read, you may ask yourself where is the drama, action, and romance. Don't get me wrong, the first meeting between Wren and Lincoln was priceless. However, all the chemistry was slowly lacking until the second half of the story.
For fans of Hunting, the whitty dialogue and sexy scenes do not disappoint. For a slow burn love story, Lincoln is very yummy in a geeky kind of way. It was a delight to see Wren being a sexy confident single woman who is not afraid to express what she likes and wants in the bedroom. The heat between them are enough to singe the eyebrows

Handle With Care by Helena Hunting is book five in her Sh Up Series, an interconnected series of standalones.
The previous books are Shacking Up; Hooking Up; I Flipping Love You and Making Up.
Handle With Care is Wren and Lincoln's unique story. The seriers is all about the Mills and Moorehead siblings and cousins and this one leads back to the Moorehead family. After Armstrong now Lincoln is about to make our aquaintance.
He's estranged from his family, works for a non profit organisation, but karma leads him back to NYC and a unloved job and unloved family. What he didn't expect is Wren Starling. She's a class of her own. From the same cloth as the Moorehead family, she works as PR Manager, aka Nanny for desaster Armstrong - and she handles Lincoln with ease too.
Handle With Care is my absolute favorite read in this series. I was sucked into the story and the feud within minutes. The story is full of unexpected twists and turns and I loved reading about the strong heroine and the male maincharacter who doesn't stand a chance against her.
I loved meeting characters from previous books. The book is a unputdownable, nailbiting pageturner that had me hanging on the edge of my seat. I read it in one sitting, I simply couldn't put it down. It's a witty and fun read, I recommend Handle With Care , 5 Stars.

"You and me? We were an inevitability. Sooner or later, one of us was going to cave.”

Helena Hunting never disappoints. She creates page-turners, scorching hot stories with a dose of light, fun and emotional accent. Her heroes are amazing individuals, driven and with so much love to give and take. Lincoln is my new ultimate book boyfriend! And Wren, a new brave best friend.

After the sudden death of his father, Lincoln has to come back home and help with running a family business. They need him more than ever because his brother Armstrong slowly ruins a family legacy. Lincoln isn’t tight with family, especially with younger brother, but for his grandma, he agrees to take a hold over the business. But he wasn’t expecting to find his match in a world of manipulation, false and greed.

Wren is a PR consultant. She is a witty, loyal and strong woman. Her job and attention revolve around Armstrong, smoothing scandals, controlling his image and behavior as well. For the sake of business, she agreed to take care of older Moorehead brother, but Wren wasn’t ready for Lincoln charm, chin dimple, and amazing personality. I wasn’t ready for him.

At first, very reluctant toward each other and controlled by work policy, soon they couldn’t stop the intense pull and slowly blossoming feelings. But in a world of blackmailing and secrets, nobody is safe. Can their relationship last?

Helena Hunting created amazing enemies to lovers story with a dose of suspense. I could read Handle With Care again and again. Wren and Lincoln were perfect together. I loved how their relationship build-up, their sexy times, funny interactions and emotional moments.

And the thing I loved the most: remaining faithful to your morals, beliefs, and family. Courage to fight with your enemies, not bending to their feet.

An arc kindly received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much!

Handle with Care is the perfect rom com from Helena Hunting. Another 5 star read by this brilliant author!

It follows the relationship of Wren and Lincoln. Wren is a people person and a "handler" at Moorehead Media and after the death of his father, our male lead, Lincoln, returns home to attend his fathers funeral and gets guilted into running the show since his younger brother Armstrong proves he's just not cut out for the job.

The chemistry between Lincoln and Wren is red hot and instantaneous, although to their credit, they fight like hell to deny and evade it. Eventually though, tough love wins and they both get what they've been vying for as do we, the readers.

Helena has a fluent and rich writing style that you just can't get enough of and always infuses the perfect blend of drama, humour, romance and heat into all her titles. Handle with Care is no different. With cameos of some of our favourite characters of the series, this book is an absolute must read!

Now I need Armstrong's story! That would make for one hell of a redemption tale. It'd be interesting to see who "handles" that man.

*Reviewed by Ali at Fallen For Books

I'm so in love with Linc! Wren is the perfect fit for grumpy Linc. She's down-to-earth, no-nonsense but gets him on track as CEO of his family's company while he would rather be doing charity work. I love reading about Amalie and Ruby.

I'm hoping for some future books for some siblings or best friends.

Handle with Care is the fifth book in the Shacking Up series by the talented and hilarious Helena Hunting. I love this series. So much. There are only a few authors who make me laugh out loud throughout the entire book and Helena is one of them! I've been waiting for Lincoln's story since I met him. Something about his personality just called to me. I wanted to know what happened to him. Why he does what he does? What makes him tick? We meet him all surly and hairy and I was already dying. His man bun and his scruffy beard. His drunkenness. He's back home after his father's death and how he's the CEO of his father's company. His a**hole brother, Armstrong, is not happy and he meets Wren, who's been hired to help turn him from bear to business mogul. Wren has no idea what Lincoln is going to be like? His father? His horrible brother? She was not expecting to be attracted to all the hair and the attitude and she about swallowed her tongue when she say him clean shaven, hair cut and a fine suit. Oh man was she in trouble. Lincoln doesn’t want to be in NY or running his company but there are not other options. He never thought he'd fall for Wren and her bossiness and the damn red lipstick that won't come off. He hates it. While they are working together and getting to know each other, the attraction becomes too much to contain. It's a bad idea. A very bad idea, but neither of them can say no. When a possible scandal and too many secrets threatens to tear them apart, they realize they are better as a team. Together they can fight for their families and each other. Wow! I knew I was going to love this book, but I didn't realize how much! Lincoln is so hilarious, funny, sexy as sin, smart and romantic. Wren is bada**, smart, dedicated and Lincoln's perfect match. I loved seeing Griffin again and Armstrong is always good for a laugh and a karma update. Overall, I laughed, smiled, cried, got mad, wanted to punch someone, got hot and bothered and laughed some more. I loved Lincoln and Wren's fun banter and their explosive chemistry! I hope this isn't the last time we see the Moorhead's and Mills'.

I love the Shacking Up series by Helena Hunting. Handle With Care focuses on Lincoln (Armstorng’s brother) and Wren, the women hired to handle the Moorehead Media scandals.

This book is steamy, and cute – it has everything a contemporary romance should.

Lincoln and Wren are an iconic duo by Helena Hunting. They are equal parts sassy and sexy. Wren is what every woman aspires to be- kick-ass at her job, desired, and good at getting her way. Lincoln is hunky and irresistable.

I fell in love with these characters quickly, thanks to Huntings wonderful development. I cannot wait to see who comes next in the Shacking Up world… for now I am catching up with the PUCKED world.

The big question… could these two worlds ever overlap?

Lincoln Moorehead is *italian chef kisses* . I love that man more than reason.

This story was a summer breeze on a sunny day at the beach. I got such warm and fuzzy feelings reading about Wren and Lincoln. I was invested from page one and honestly I could have read 50 more pages about them.

Wren is the kind of woman I admire and aspire to be. She is so badass and amazing at everything she does. Man, reading about her incapacitating a grown man within seconds just woke up something in me and I don’t know how to deal with it. 10/10 recommend Wren as a life partner.

Lincoln is surly, sullen and everything that can be used to describe him cribbing 24×7. But at the core of it he’s a cuddly bear who just wants to love and be loved. I was gone for him from chapter one and my love for him only grew deep.

I smiled so hard while reading this book. Wren and Lincoln gave me this bubbly and happy feeling that I grew addicted to. These two are just too much for more me to handle.

4.5 Stars!

4.5 stars

I really enjoyed Handle With Care by Helena Hunting.

From the first few pages I was hooked, I enjoyed the storyline, it's well written, well paced and entertaining all throughout the book.

Wren and Lincoln are both passionate, smart and likable characters that I easily connected with and enjoyed watching their relationship unfold. These two made me swoon on so many occasions, I loved them together and I was happy they were able to put all the drama aside to love each other unconditionally.

Overall, Handle With Care is a beautiful and heartfelt romance and I highly recommend it.

*A big thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the advance copy.*

Handle With Care had me hooked from beginning to the end. The story is easy to follow, fun, office romance, a tad bit of family drama, and secrets. I really liked Lincoln and Wren, they were fun, both hard working, and steamy together. Seeing past characters was good too. It was so entertaining, and enjoyable to read.

I received this from Netgalley!

I´m really loving this series by Helena Hunting, and every time a new one is released I run to read it, I love these character and can´t get enough of them. This story was really addictive, even though I didn´t have lots of time to read it I found myself making space or taking advantage of every minute I had to read it, and honestly it was so fun, light, sexy, romantic and with two protagonists that were perfect for each other. Totally worth it!!

Lincoln Moorhead was unlike any CEO you’ve ever met. Chiseled abs and long luxurious hair that would make any woman cry with envy to run their hands through each lock. He had one goal. Go home for his father’s funeral and then leave New York behind and return to his project. After a heartfelt plea from his G Mom he decides to stay for six months. He wasn’t prepared for his handler and her constant need to intrude into his life. Wren simply won’t take no for an answer no matter how many times he talks to her and pushes her away. Will the handler get handled? The transformation of Lincoln will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat and helpless to each look he tosses your away.

It’s no secret that I am OBSESSED with Helena Hunting and her Shacking Up series! And her fifth book lived up to all the expectations I had and more! Handle with Care might be my second favorite book of the series (Hooking Up with Lex and Amie will always be #1!), I adored everything about this story!

When Lincoln Moorehead is suddenly named CEO of Moorehead Media after his father’s death, the last thing he expects is to also inherit a handler. Wren Sterling has been responsible for keeping Lincoln’s brother Armstrong (yes, THAT Armstrong!) and his indiscretions under control. While this isn’t her dream job, Wren knows this will give her a head start towards working with a nonprofit. Adding another Moorehead to her list should be easy, until she starts to fall for him.

Oh man, the chemistry between Wren and Lincoln is so good! This story has an element of forced proximity that I absolutely love! Lincoln is such a welcome change after getting to know his terrible brother Armstrong in the previous books. Lincoln actually HAS morals, for one! The family drama that propels the story forward is really engaging, I had a hard time putting this one down. Hunting knows how to write some damn despicable villains in this series, and Handle with Care is no exception. I loved reading about the scandal that comes up in this story, it introduces us to some great new characters and I can’t wait to see where the next books will go!

Handle with Care has all the elements I love in the Shacking Up series. Seriously, this book is SO good! Handle with Care was a 5 star read for me! If you decide to dive into this series, please do yourself a favor and read them in order (with the novella!)
