A new kind of love story about flipping houses, taking risks, and landing that special someone who’s move-in ready…
SHE’S GOT CURB APPEAL
Rian Sutter grew up with the finer things in life. Spending summers in The Hamptons was a normal occurrence for her until her parents lost everything years ago. Now Rian and her sister are getting their life, and finances, back on track through real estate. Not only do they buy and sell houses to the rich and famous, but they finally have the capital to flip their very own beachfront property. But when she inadvertently catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her, all bets are off…
HE’S A FIXER UPPER
Pierce Whitfield doesn’t normally demo kitchens, install dry wall, or tear apart a beautiful woman’s dreams. He’s just a down-on-his-luck lawyer who needed a break from the city and agreed to help his brother work on a few homes in the Hamptons. When he first meets Rian, the attraction is undeniable. But when they start competing for the same pieces of prime real estate, the early sparks turn into full-blown fireworks. Can these passionate rivals turn up the heat on their budding romance—without burning down the house?
I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, set in the Shacking Up world, follows two people, both working in real estate, who find themselves vying for the same properties in the Hamptons, leading to a sometimes-not-so-friendly competition.

Helena Hunting is a wonderful writer and I enjoy reading everything she writes. Her newest story, I FLIPPING LOVE YOU, is engaging and filled with banter, sarcastic remarks and sexy scenes.
The story begins when Rian and Pierce meet in a grocery store. As soon as they meet, they can’t ignore the sexual tension sparking between them. They immediately start trading quips while Pierce tries to talk Rian into going out with him. While Rian is attracted to Pierce, she has learned to stay away from rich, good looking guys with big egos. Pierce is intrigued by Rian and chases after her but she keeps refusing to go out with him. The more she pulls away, the more he chases. Rian pretends to be annoyed with Pierce but secretly she is thrilled.
Pierce is a wonderful mix of arrogant, vulnerable and sensitive. He is a dirty talking sexy guy. He is confident and goes after what he wants. Even though it takes him a while to convince Rian to go out with him, he never gives up.
Rian is intelligent, beautiful and covers her insecurities with a sassy attitude. She is outspoken and isn’t afraid to let Pierce know what she thinks. She has always been afraid of relationships because she has some family baggage she is embarrassed to share with anyone.
I found myself immediately transported into this entertaining story. Pierce and Rian are realistic characters and it is easy to connect with them. I also enjoyed all the interesting secondary characters. This is a perfect mix of funny and sexy.
