From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes I Flipping Love You, a love story about flipping houses, taking risks, and landing that special someone who’s move-in ready. Rian Sutter doesn’t usually get hit on in the grocery store, but when she notices a sexy man in a suit checking her out, she thinks maybe it’s her lucky day. Either that or the suit has a thing for sweaty, … has a thing for sweaty, yoga-pant wearing women with excellent price matching skills.
Turns out it’s neither.
Pierce Whitfield can’t believe his luck when he’s able to track down the woman who scratched up the paint job on his car at the scene of the crime. But when he confronts the hit and run hottie, he discovers there’s not just one, but two of them, and he’s been throwing accusations at the wrong twin.
As repair costs are negotiated, and the chemistry between them flares, Rian and Pierce find out they have more than mutual attraction in common. They’re both vying for the same pieces of prime real estate in The Hamptons and neither one plans to give up without a fight.
Can these passionate rivals turn up the heat on their budding romance–without burning down the house?

I Flipping Love You is a great rom-com; a sexy, slow burn with no drama and hilarious one-liners, perfect for a summer read. It had me laughing within the first couple of chapters. Rian and Pierce were a joy and fun to read. They may have the best first encounter. I loved their banter. The second characters were great, too. Rian’s sister and Pierce’s brother are something else. I can see them getting into a lot of trouble. Ms. Barber was just awesome. I do wish there were more scenes with Pierce’s and his siblings.
This was my first book from the author. I enjoyed it. I didn’t know it was a series of standalones with interconnected characters before I read it. Hunting knows how to write wonderful and funny characters, ones that I couldn’t help liking. I’ll be reading more of her books.
4.25 stars
4.5*
This Rom-Com is more than a fun read, it has amazing characters and a story that will keep you entertained from the beginning.
Rian has started a new life along with her twin sister after a disastrous experience with their family, she doesn’t get closer to people, specially men so she doesn’t get hurt. After all this time, she is doing really well, but she didn’t she Pierce coming, this amazing but pushy guy that will try to break all her walls.
Pierce not always had the life he knows right now, but he and his family have worked to be where they are, but a little mistake has Pierce on the edge and makes him start to think that maybe that’s not for him.
When Rian and Pierce meet, they didn’t know how their “social” and “work” lives will cross and how this could affect the little they have advanced.
Rian and Pierce will entertain you with Rian’s sassy, with Pierce’s sexiness and good lines and all the (funny) “drama” that only Rian can bring into the relationship. Rian doesn’t fall easy to Pierce’s feet but she is dying to fall in his bed. Pierce will not give up on Rian, nobody is like her and he will not let that go easily. He has what he has because he is persistent and with Rian will be mot different.
Every book in the Shacking Up series is better than the one before it!!
Pierce and Rian, with an i, are hilarious. Pierce is all the swoon with a big dash of arrogance thrown in and Rian is confident, smart, and the perfect opponent for Pierce. From their very first meeting through every verbal battle, I was laughing hysterically, even having to put the kindle down to compose myself so I continue reading. While this book is packed with humor, there is some definite angst in the backstories of both Rian and Pierce. Add in the heat and this book has absolutely everything!! HH never disappoints!
Rian and Pierce are flipping fabulous !
This such a sexy, funny , cute story.
Pierce is the tall, handsome, intelligent suit that has never found that someone to keep his interest and make him feel that spark …until Rian. A chance run in ….literally and he is enthralled !
Rian is sassy, sweet, sexy and also a wiz with numbers . She has been having a bit of bad luck in the man department and wants no part of the suave Pierce . She puts up a good fight but when he turns on the charm she begins to see that their is so much more to him!
Rian and Pierce have a amazing witty banter and undeniable chemistry. They will yank you in to their lives and keep you entertained right till the end. They are also surrounded by a wonderful cast of characters that compliment them and their story so well! Loved them !

I flipping loved this book! Pierce and Rian=Swoon!
This book was funny, sexy it had it all.
This is the perfect beach/pool read.
Miss Hunting did it once again.
Amazing.
I FLIPPING LOVE THIS BOOK. From the moment I started reading I was hooked. Every time I read one of Helena’s books I know I will always have a smile on my face and will definitely be LOL. Pierce & Rian will give you all the feels. From the moment they meant you could feel the connection that they have and I loved every minute of their story. Another phenomenal read that once I started reading I didn’t want too stop.
This was my first read by Helena Hunting and definitely will not be my last. This book was a fun read and I loved the everything about it. The banter between Pierce and Rian had me laughing out loud quite alot. The chemistry was off the charts between the them which made for very hot sex scenes. Highly recommend this book
Received a ARC via NetGalley for my honest opinion.
This book!! No seriously, this book!! It was so so good, I’m not even sure how to do it justice with this review. This may end up being one long run on sentence of babbling.
I had no doubt that this book was going to be great the moment I heard about it. It was so many things all rolled into one amazing package…..it was laugh out loud funny, super sweet, and had just enough heat to require ice water.
Oh man how I adored this book. On the surface it seems like a simple opposites attract tale, but it is so much more. I’m a die hard fan of Helena Hunting (if you haven’t read the Puck series – get on that ASAP), but this is the first book from the Shacking Up series that I’ve read and now I must binge-read the prior books in the series. Pierce was just EVERYTHING and I love how the book was basically set up to introduce him to us as one way but was really a journey to show is the man he is inside. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed Rian, but Pierce is definitely the star of this show. It was a sweet story, with the humor and heat I expect from HH and I can’t wait for more (hopefully Marley’s story is next)! 4.75 out of 5 wine glasses.
4.5 Stars! Funny, sexy and charming, ‘I Flipping Love You’ stole my heart!
Do you have any idea how sexy that is?
You think it’s sexy that I can do math in my head?
Yes. You’re gorgeous, outspoken, and intelligent. It’s a heard-on-inducing trifecta.
Rian Sutter and her twin sister, Marley, went from spending weekends on yachts and summers in the Hamptons, to a small, dingy two bedroom duplex thanks to their parent’s shady dealings. Determined to take control of their lives, the two take on the renovation world and get into flipping houses. It’s Ryan’s dream that buying and selling houses will give them enough money to one day, purchase the Hampton’s home she spent so many summers in with her grandmother. It is the fear that people will relate the two with her parents that keeps Rian guarded and single.
Pierce Whitfield and his family knew what it was to struggle. They came from having very little to living in multi-million dollar penthouses and beachfront homes. His father worked hard building a business that would not only sustain his family but one that his children could take part in when they were old enough. Unfortunately, Pierce doesn’t want to be the patent lawyer his dad wants him to be. He’d rather be wearing a tool belt than sitting in a boardroom wearing an Armani suit. Renovating homes is his true passion.
When Pierce sees Rian in a grocery store, he mistakes her for the person who hit his Tesla and left without so much as a note. What he finds is a smart, feisty woman who intrigues him. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, at least to him. She’s going to take some convincing but Pierce is up to that challenge!
‘I Flipping Love You’ was filled with witty banter, hilarious moments and deliciously sexy scenes. Make sure to add this one to your summer vacation book list!
I was provided a review copy by the publisher. This did not influence my opinion of the book nor my review.
Charming, hilarious, and heartwarming! From a memorable first meeting between two interesting and lovable characters to a series of not-so unfortunate events that lead them to each other’s paths, I Flipping Love You promises a diverting rom-com packed with Ms. Hunting’s signature humor and heart.
Rian Sutter and Pierce Whitfield’s first meeting is memorable, to say the least. There are groins getting hit by shopping carts, dinged Teslas, and mistaken identities involved. Thanks to Rian’s flighty and slightly irresponsible twin sister Marley doing a hit-and-run on Pierce’s fancy car, they have to pay him with money they can barely afford to spend. But unlike Marley, Rian knows what responsibility means, and she knows it’s the right thing to do.
You’d think that settling that issue would be the last of their interaction, but it’s harder to shake off an interested and persistent Pierce than she first thought. Especially if Pierce is the brother of her and Marley’s real estate client.
After a blunder at his law firm, Pierce takes a few months’ break in the Hamptons to regroup. He’s no longer happy with what he’s doing, and now he has a chance to do what he really wants—flipping houses. When he meets Rian, he can’t help but pursue her. She always thwarts his advances, staying as detached as she can, but he knows it won’t take her long to admit that they have a connection stronger than lust.
But with secrets threatening to come to light and dreams so close to coming true, a connection might not be enough to reach their happily ever after.
Honestly, I wasn’t so sure how I felt about Pierce consistently pursuing her at first, but he grew on me. He’s cocky, confident, and endearing. He’s also caring, sweet, and so transparent with his feelings. I love me some brooding men, but goodness do I love men who aren’t afraid to express their feelings. That’s Pierce, and I just love him for it.
Rian and Marley have gone through a lot, and it says so much about them—Rian especially—that they were able to go past it and find a way to survive with little to their names at such a young age. I’m not a huge fan of what Marley did at the beginning, so the jury is still out on that one. But I love Rian with all my heart. She’s strong, resilient, sassy, and loyal. She deserves the best, and I cheered for her to reach her goal.
Watching Pierce and Rian fall in love was an experience I’d love to relive again. They were funny, sweet, and incredibly heartwarming. The chemistry has been there from the start, but to see it grow alongside their feelings, to see them know more about each other and love what they find, it can make anyone swoon.
I won’t say how this book is related to the other books in the Shacking Up world, but the clues are all here. Besides, I think it would be more fun for you to find out yourself.
If you’re looking for an all-out romantic comedy with a touch of angst and a healthy dose of heart, you’ll enjoy I Flipping Love You.

I flipping wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!!!
This was the most unputdownable enjoyable story that I just couldn’t put down!
The characters were entertaining, the banter witty and the storyline just hooked me to no end! I didn’t want to stop reading even when it ended!
I have a huge hole in my heart, Rian and Pierce have done that to me!! The friendships, the sizzling connection and the way things eventuate, just wonderful!
An absolute must read that is a highlight of this year!
Cant wait to read more from this author!
This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed the storyline. Rian feels like she is unlucky at love and is hesitant to be in a real relationship. Her sister Marley’s mishap brings Pierce into her life. House renovation is the backdrop to fuel the angst between them. Pierce tries to pull her close while Rian tries to push him away. Hot love story with a HEA included.
There is just something so great about reading a feel good romance. Hilarious meet cutes, swoony hero’s and lovable heroines give me the warm fuzzies every time. This book checked all of those boxes for me and then some, which is no surprise, because Helena hits it out of the park with her books every single time.
The banter and chemistry between Rian and Pierce was perfection. I loved their push and pull. Pierce was just, sigh.. I’m such a sucker for a good man in books and he was giving me all the heart eyes. Rian’s character was equally adorable, with her sweet demeanor and quirks. The inner dialogue from both characters had me constantly chuckling and smiling. Seriously, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. I can’t forget about the sexy time in this book, it was HOT!
This book is the perfect beach or pool side read. I enjoyed every single word and I truly didn’t want it to end. Five stars again to Helena, she truly is a master of the Rom/Com.
Go grab yourself a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, get into your favorite reading spot and be ready to flip over reading & loving this book!
From the first Chapter, you will be laughing out loud, totally drooling, and wishing you were Rian who has just met Pierce in the most outrageous way.
Rian is comical. She just brought a smile to my face while reading.
Pierce is everyones hot guy fantasy come to life in this book.
He is the full package and then some which has Rian in a totally tizzy.
Their chemistry was hot, sexy and super fun to read.
Go grab this book and start your summer off right.
As a huge fan of Helena Hunting’s work, I knew I needed to read this book. It did not disappoint! Helena’s heroes are sexy, masculine, and in Pierce’s case, know exactly what they want. I loved the banter between the main characters and am so glad we got to see characters from her other books in this world, particularly Amelie!
This was a fun read! From the way these two meet to the sass to the sexy situations they got into, it was the out of the box moments that only Helena Hunting can come up with. It was a light read that was very enjoyable to read.
I ended this one with a big smile on my face! I wanted to hug my iPad after that epilogue. I think this one is my favorite out of the whole series. I was all about Pierce in this one. He had me giggling at some parts, loves to cuddle and he was quite smitten with Rian. Their first encounter had me chuckling. Rian was trying really hard to resist his charming ways, but once she caves, chemistry exploded all over the place! I seriously could read more with these two, I just loved them.
5 Flipping Stars
**First of all, I WON A FREAKING PAPERBACK ARC!!! That is all. Continue to check out my review!
Wow! I can’t really put into words the way I feel after reading this book. I know Helena has an amazing ability to write heroes that I will fall for—no matter what. Honestly, she hasn’t written a man I haven’t wanted to drop to my knees for.
OH, is that too much? EH. You’ll be okay. But let’s get to Pierce and Rian (with an i).
You may remember Pierce from Hooking Up. He’s mentioned briefly since he’s Anarachy Amie’s brother. You know the lawyer brother? The one you kinda wanted to know more about, but you weren’t focused on that because you were too focused on Sexy Lexy?
Yeah, that Pierce. And OMG. Pierce. I don’t even have the mental capacity after that wild ride. He’s sweet, kind, caring, generous (in bed and out), and just amazing. As soon as I finished this, I messaged my best book girlfriend and RAVED about Pierce. I crazily explained how I just couldn’t handle how perfect this book was. The writing, the characters, the story. All of it is perfect. The back and forth, the push and pull, the lust and love. It’s. All. Perfect.
Absolutely Flipping Perfect.
Where do I go from here? Because I’m going to need more from this Shacking Up world and I’m gonna need it in a way that only Helena Hunting can deliver.
I Flipping Love You is the perfect way to kick off the summer. It’s hilarious, sexy, romantic and highly entertaining, and my cheek muscles are sore from smiling so flipping much while reading it. From their first laugh-out-loud confrontation in the cereal aisle, Pierce and Rian have a charming dynamic and fan-yourself-worthy chemistry that leaps off the page. They trade rapid-fire, laugh-out-loud banter as they bicker their way into falling head over heels in love while competing for the next house flip in the Hamptons. There’s nothing not to love about this steamy, feel-good and heartwarming romantic comedy.
