I Flipping Love You

Rian and her sister have a history that they’re not proud of. They are determined to turn things around by flipping houses in the Hamptons. When a hit and run fender bender puts Rian on Pierce’s radar, her summer just got a whole lot more interesting. Pierce is unhappy with his job. After a colossal mistake sends him to the Hamptons, he’s using the time to do what he loves best, working with his hands. When he sees the woman who scratched his car in the grocery store he’s ready for a throw down. However, after a grocery cart crash into his family jewels he’s determined that he wants that throw down to be of a different kind altogether. I loved Rian’s snarky attitude and take no prisoners personality. Her loyalty to her sister was commendable as they work together to achieve their dreams. Or at least Rian’s dreams. Pierce was so much fun. He knew just how to get under Rian’s skin and did so at every opportunity. He was careful not to run her off, knowing she was skittish and used his talents to prevent her from doing so. I was so glad that his history did not include him being a one night stand kind of guy. This was a cute and fun story with lots of saucy, sexy banter. The angst level was low, the steam high and the secondary characters were appropriate to support the main characters while not making me necessarily want to read more about them. The conflict was resolved with communication but was not an ongoing issue and the ending was in keeping with the rest of the story, sweet and cute. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes a light hearted but not silly read. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and St. Martin's Press. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

5 star Review I Flipping Love You (Shacking Up #3) by Helena Hunting A stand alone novel from the very talented Helena Hunting. I Flipping Love You had me laughing so much it hurt. I loved the premise of this book and could not wait to dive in. When lawyer Pierce decides to take some time off and help his brother out by flipping houses, he has no idea that his life is about to change in ways he never imagined. Firstly he mistakenly meets Rian and believes that she is the woman who caused damage to his car. Once Rian sorts out the mess and realises that it was in fact her twin who was the one involved, she has to negotiate a settlement with Pierce and this is where the fun begins. Romantic comedy is fast becoming one of my go to genres to read. I Flipping Love you was one of those books that had me laughing, smiling and generally feeling great. Pierce and Rian connected and the attraction and their chemistry together is smoking hot and almost electrifying. I love Ms. Hunting's style of writing, she ensures that her characters are not “perfect”. I was entertained and captivated from the start. If you want a fun, not too long romantic comedy to read, then I highly recommend this book, you won't be disappointed.

Helena Hunting has done it again. This book is FLIPPING amazing. This book is exactly what we love from Helena Hunting. It's chock full of charm and humor and witty banter and a heroine we love and want to be BFF's with and a hero we want to claim as our own. We start off with an intense face-off in a grocery store, when Pierce encounters who he believes is the woman who hit his beloved car. He couldn't be more wrong, but you'll find out why he was adamant that she was the one. The sparks fly immediately despite the accusations being thrown around. Rian is awesome! I just love her! She's fun and funny and witty and charming. She's trying to get her life back together after some unfortunate circumstances in her past. She's trying to get an important piece of her childhood back. In the process, she runs into Pierce multiple times. Even though she tries to resist his charm, because she has had bad experiences with guys like him, she finds herself keeping company with him quite often. Pierce is just plain amazing. He's successful, despite doing something he's not passionate about. We're lucky enough to see him in is true element, green speedo and all. ;) He's funny and flirty and soooooooooooo charming and dang sexy and I just adore him. Pierce and Rian's journey is a wee-bit of an up and down ride, but it's perfect. The push and pull. The way they gravitate toward one another. The chemistry is on-point. How they try to sabotage each other, but in a fun way. I just love them together. We get to see a few characters from Helena's previous books from this universe. I almost had a heartattack thinking she was going to smear my one true love's reputation in this particular book. But, thankfully, she did not. LOL!!! This book is extremely well written with engaging characters and a fun and refreshing plotline. This can absolutely be read as a standalone, and I'd highly recommend reading it ASAP. You should also read Shacking Up and Hooking Up, both from the same universe, because they are equally amazing!
