I Flipping Love You

by Helena Hunting

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 catches the attention of a sexy stranger who snaps up every house from under her,all bets are off…

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 understood her hesitation...

Off the table, because I'm happily married BUT let's say I was young and single again. Let's say an extremely buff, good-looking, rich and obviously successful man walked up to me and asked me out. Would I jump at the chance? Ummm...probably not. See, even when I was younger, slimmer, less wrinkly, less jaded and less worried about the future, I would have been questioning WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU WANT ME??? I would have judged on the outside package. If and that's a BIG IF I let my guards down, I wouldn't have been even remotely thinking happy ever afters and babies. I would have been thinking fun and flirty times for the now. I could understand why Rian thought Pierce would be fun for a little while. Like Rian, I would definitely hesitate to flipping love Pierce. Luckily, Pierce is better than the outside package.

I really enjoyed I Flipping Love You. Years ago when hubby and I did a few flips...of the property kind. It was fun, hard work and a bit of a risk. We even talk about getting back into it and after reading this, I admit to feeling the flipping bug again. You get a high from seeing something rundown and needing a bit of love, get a makeover and come to life again. You hope for the best, cross your fingers and wait for the money to fall in your lap. Not every property is a success, but the ride teaches you a lesson and there's always another opportunity around the corner. The real estate world is a bit cutthroat though, and I don't miss that bit too much.

Helena Hunting has treated us to a fun and sexy story where we meet Rian and Pierce and see their attraction grow to something more. Both of them keep secrets about their families and they must learn to trust each other first before they can share them. I think their hesitations were warranted considering their pasts but I loved that it wasn't something resolved with the blink of an eye. They needed to work through their issues with communication, support and faith that it was worth the effort.

I didn't realise until I was halfway through, that I had missed one of the stories in this series which I'm going to quickly remedy. Especially after meeting Lex. Sure, Amalie was interesting...but have you seen Lex...I mean read about him.

I Flipping Love You was a great read and I was left with a big goofy smile at the end. Helena Hunting, your work here is done. Thanks love. 😍
