New York Times bestselling author of SHACKING UP and I FLIPPING LOVE YOU Helena Hunting mixes humor and heart in this scandal-filled romantic comedy.HE WANTS TO LOSE CONTROL.Between his parents’ messed up marriage and his narcissistic younger brother, Lincoln Moorehead has spent the majority of his life avoiding his family. After the death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the … death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the drama. To top it all off, he’s been named CEO of Moorehead Media, much to his brother’s chagrin. But Lincoln’s bad attitude softens when he meets the no-nonsense, gorgeous woman who has been given the task of transforming him from the gruff, wilderness guy to a suave businessman
SHE’S TRYING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER.
Wren Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at Moorehead Media at bay, so when she’s presented with a new contract, with new responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working with the reclusive oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the hassle if it means she’s that much closer to pursuing her own dreams. What Wren doesn’t expect is to find herself attracted to him, or for it to be mutual. And she certainly doesn’t expect to fall for Lincoln. But when a shocking new Moorehead scandal comes to light, she’s forced to choose between her own family and the broody, cynical CEO.

I absolutely love Helena Hunting’s books! Her words had me howling in laughter, fuming mad at some characters antics, smiling like a giddy teenager or swooning like a woman on the edge. Handle With Care managed all of these feelings impeccably. I adored every word.
Lincoln is such a wonderful man, he is all kinds of sexy and just manages to get better with every chapter. He made me want to know him. I am so proud of how he handles the problems that arise throughout the story and how he falls for Wren is simply wonderful.
Wren is a fantastic match for the Moorhead family. She has her wits about her and can deal with any situation that arises, and boy do a few nasty people and problems come up. The writing is so superb that I felt I was there to could give them a well deserved pat on the back and a hug for being so wonderful.
This book is a standalone but has ties to previous, equally fabulous, books. I highly recommend that everyone should read this book. In fact, read all of Helena Hunting’s books, she is an awesome author.

Handle With Care by Helena Hunting is the fifth in the ‘Shacking Up’ series about the Mills and Moorehead families. This is the mysterious, long talked about Lincoln’s story. He and Wren were so perfect together it just made me never want to stop reading this book.
Lincoln’s been called back to New York by his father’s sudden death. He’s reluctant to go, and even less desirous of staying.
But, meeting Wren changes that feeling, even though she’s been hired to make his change from surly outdoor’s man to man about the city. He’s poked and prodded within an inch of his life and that’s before he comes face to face with his family.
I loved how these two. The banter was spot on, the chemistry scorching hot and the storyline was filled with fun, love, a little mystery and some serious mom-hate!! That Gwendolynn!
This is yet another fabulous story from an awesome writer.

Wren and Lincoln have such sizzling chemistry. Everytime they fight you can feel the sexual tension burning bewteen them and when it happens, it feels so good. Wren is a badass and doesn’t let Lincoln and his brother walk all over her. She knows just the right way to handle them and they actually listen to her. Lincoln is a little bit gritty and dirty and arrogant, but can’t help be drawn to Wren. What a great couple to watch come together. Lincoln has so many layers and you feel for him each step of the way.
“Handle With Care” by Helena Hunting
Read the blurb, then read the reviews, then read this story. It is a fun romantic comedy with some secrets that unravel. I received an ARC from the publisher and this is my honest review. I really, really, enjoyed my time in this story. I was caught up in the story from the get-go and it never let me go. Happy Reading !!
Helena does it again! Handle With Care is a great story about an entitled family with many skeletons in it’s closet. There are some great characters in it. Wren is a strong woman with a take no prisoners attitude, who is hired to handle Armstrong and his indiscretions and help Lincoln settle into the role of CEO or Moorehead Media. Lincoln is a good man and the brother who is nothing like his family. Taking over as CEO is the last thing he wants. Armstrong is the son who would rather chase women and live in excess than be responsible. When Wren and Lincoln meet, it’s not love at first sight, but there is a strong attraction between them.
This story is funny, engaging, has a few twists, and lots of sizzle. You will admire Wren and fall in love with Lincoln.
Yes, we got a new Hottie! and it looks like a new series coming from the Shacked up series!!!. We have heard of Lincoln thru that other series, if you have not read, please do you will enjoy it and you will know and understand some of the secondary characters. I loved Linc! and so enjoyed his relationship with Wren who is another awesome female character. Can I tell you I had never liked Armstrong nor his disgusting mother, but dang that could not have prepared me for this. Armstrong is seriously deranged and I can not understand how he hid all that craziness before, but he has nothing on the witch that is Gwen, some serious mommy dearest moments..We got introduced to Hope which gives me some hope(yeah yeah I know) that we have more coming from her..Enjoy!
Rcvd and ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions
This was a fun, sexy and sweet read. I definitely recommend this book, this series and this author.
Outstanding!
Handle With Care had power struggles amongst family members, comedy, a bit of angst, fantastic sexy time and exceptional writing. Can Wren keep Lincoln’s image untarnished? Will family secrets tear them apart?
Helena’s ability to make me fall in love with her characters within 3 minutes is truly masterful.
It’s not often that I’ll read from a paperback. Why? Because it requires light! So what do I do…kick the hubby out of our bed for the night and finish the book in one sitting. Handle With Care is that good!
I highly recommend this book.
