I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting
4.0
Accustomed to her hockey books which are wildly funny, this is a tamer version of this author’s wacky humor. But what the book lacks in funny, it reclaims in emotion. This book is equally funny and emotional and it was a fantastic read.
Twins Rian and Marley Sutter are working as realtors in The Hamptons. Their dream is to flip houses and make a living out of it, and ultimately purchase the Mission House where they used to live with their grandmother when they were little. Their father, a realtor turned criminal, sold the house and fled the country when he was uncovered. He left the twins to their luck when they were merely eighteen years old. They lost everything but they fought their way out of the debt and the scandal and are making ends meet.
Enter hottie Pierce Whitfield, who barges on Rian in a grocery store where she’s buying her beloved Cinnamon crunch cereal. He accused her of tapping his car and she denied it, then they hear an “oh, shit” and turn to see her twin in plain flight. Eventually they settle Pierce’s claim, Marley gets a scold from Rian and Pierce starts stalking Rian, asking for a date. Incredibly, although the twins look alike, Rian is the one Pierce is attracted to, and he really wants to pursue something with her.
As with most twins, Rian is the serious one and Marley is the flighty one. Marley is all for Rian having a fling with Pierce, but Rian knows to keep men at arms length due to their past history. Rian is increasingly attracted to Pierce, but she is slightly paranoid and afraid of being rejected once Pierce finds out who her father is. The plot gets convoluted because the twins and Pierce and his brother Lawson are working in the same area and going for the same houses. The girls are realtors but want to start flipping houses; and Pierce and his brother buy and flip houses. Rian and Pierce make a deal to separate the personal from the professional and things get hot and smexy between them.
This story has a great pace, a lot of funny and a lot of heart. Initially Marley seemed flaky but then we learn that she’s just a party girl and she tends to enjoy life more. Rian has misgivings and trust issues and these feelings stand in the way to share more of herself with Pierce. Pierce has daddy issues, he’s attached to his inheritance, but he doesn’t like his work which is attached to his trust. He’s evolving but he’s a work in process. The plot gets convoluted, gets tangled, gets funny and we get to read a very entertaining story with bits of great humor and some other bits of heartfelt scenes.
I requested this title from Net Galley to read and review.
