I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting

4.0

If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading a Helena Hunting novel, you need to stop what you are doing and download one STAT! And to think, I almost passed on reading Pucked because someone took issue with the gratuitous use of the word beaver and I worried that I would too. Not the case and since then, I’ve read everything I could get my hands on. Ms. Hunting’s books are such light, funny, easy reads and I enjoy them so much.

I Flipping Love You is book number three in the Shacking Up series. They are all stand alone but do yourself a favor and start with Shacking Up. You won’t be disappointed.

I managed to go into this book without reading any descriptions. All I knew is that this was about flipping (duh, the title) and that Amalie’s brother Pierce was one of the main characters. After Bane and Lex, I knew I was gonna fall in love with Pierce too.

Rian, who’s in real estate, and Pierce, a lawyer who’s side hustle is flipping houses with his younger brother, meet in the most awkward of situations. Despite the immediate fireworks, Rian shuts Pierce down because the cocky asshole is too tempting. After multiple run-ins, where Pierce grows on her like a barnacle, Rian submits and queue explosions.

Things are never as simple as we’d like and our lovebirds soon find themselves on competing ends of the flip market. Can business and pleasure remain separate when hearts are involved? Throw in the fact that Rian has some walls up a mile high to guard some mega secrets and you'll understand the obstacles these two face.

All in all, this was such a light-hearted read which I really needed. Glad I can count on Ms. Hunting to deliver!

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's for the ARC.
