Shacking Up

I loved it!! Helena Hunting is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with this book. Bancroft and Ruby were a perfect match. The chemistry they had was amazing. I definitely want to read more about them and their families and friends. Especially Amalie and Armstrong. The only problem I had with it was how fast I read it and now I have to wait for the next book. Lol

Rugby player, actress, and lots of steamy sex.... that's my kinda story! Bane is the dirty talking business man with that sexy ex athlete vibe and Ruby is that independent sassy starlet that gets stuff done. You can't help but to love this couple! Any Helena book I read is the kind of romance book I need at that moment! One click now, you won't be disappointed!

I smiled and laughed the whole way through Shacking Up. It is different from her previous books, but it is classic Helena Hunting. The story moved quickly and didn't leave you wondering how things happened. It deserves to be read and to take its place next to her other works. Read it and fall in love with Bancroft, Ruby, Franny and Tiny. You'll be happy you did.

Helena Hunting is on my one click finger. Her books are fabulous and funny.

Shackling Up had me laughing and smiling and love every character no matter good or bad.

Love has a funny way of entering Ruby's life then seeing the truth to having good karma.

I won't spoil the ending but I recommend this book to everyone.

Loved this book, Ruby and Bancroft were fabulous together. The story was sweet and sassy and I was throughly entertained. Francesca was so cute too.
Throughout the book I kept picturing Stuart Reardon as Bancroft, don't know if it was the rugby thing that did it <3
I really want Amie to get a story as well as Bancroft's brothers.

Spoilers

Really liked this it was pure fluff. Such a cute story so many of her books leave me wanting more about the couple. Bane and Ruby are adorable yes the misunderstanding with her leaving is not surprising but it works. The time spent chatting while he is gone is awesome it's a great build up with a great pay off.

Ruby and Bancroft have chemistry from first kiss. I was in love with Ruby from the very beginning with her inappropriate vagina talk it's so funny and her will to have her own independence away from her father I love it. Can't wait to read more about these two.

Loved it! Actually couldn't put it down. You think the end is predictable, but then it's not. The plot twist was a neat idea too. I'd recommend this book if you want a great short read. ( I normally like a longer story). The characters were more than likable, I wouldn't mind having a "Bane" for myself!

The sneak peeks for this book looked promising. I looked forward to a book full of funny snark and a budding relationship. But there wasn't enough interaction between Bane and Ruby to make me believe in this intense attraction \connection they were supposed to have.
Ruby's snark came off bratty, as she admitted, and I found myself not liking her at all.
Bane was ok. He really could've used a stronger backbone when dealing with his parents.
I look forward to Amie's book, how she couldn't see what a creep Armstrong was is unbelievable!

Shacking Up should be added to your TBR! Helena Hunting has done it again! She never disappoints. I love her sense of humor and her hot & sexy alpha men & their women are always great! Bancroft & Ruby are no exception. They way they meet is the Best ;) I can't wait for Hooking Up the next book in this series!

Helena Hunting delivers a fun, sexy read filled with hilarious banter and super sexy times. I loved how strong and independent Ruby was and how sweet and caring Bane tried to be. I could not get enough of this sexy duo and cannot wait for Amalie's story to release in November. ❤

I started reading shaking up out boredom in plane to kill the 5 hours journey. I loved everthing from the start to the end. Every single character was explained well and to make the story interesting there was slight affection between Amie and Lex. Ruby was just soo adorable and Bane lovable

I love Helena Hunting's books. The funny story of Ruby and Bancroft is no different. Ruby is an out of luck actress waiting for her big break while Bancroft is a wealthy playboy with a ferret that needs a ferret-sitter while he is out of town. The chemistry between the 2 of them is scalding and the story is funny and the characters are so likable and engaging. Rooted for them from the beginning. Definitely recommended must read

I love Bancroft! He was down to earth and sweet. My favorite thing about this book was how the author did such an amazing job building the characters relationship. As the reader I really felt like I witnessed their journey of falling in love with each other. It makes a romance novel so much better.

Fans of the Pucked series will be thrilled with Shacking Up by Helena Hunting. This time the main male character, Bancroft, is a former professional rugby player who has joined his family's hotel empire when a knee injury ends his sport career. When off-off Broadway actress Ruby finds herself unemployed and homeless her best friend Amelie helps her land a job housesitting for Bancroft for 5 weeks while he is working in London. Ruby resists her immediate attraction to Bancroft before he leaves for London, focusing instead on finding a job and apartment before Bancroft returns. Although Ruby comes from a wealthy family herself, she is determined to find her own way in life and rejects her father's demands to join his pharmaceutical company. Ruby becomes attached to Bancroft's adorable, mischievous ferret named Francesca and tolerates Tiny the tarantula. The hotness factor increases with each video chat between Bancroft and Ruby with the sexual tension enough to melt your panties. But family expectations, miscommunications and Ruby settling for a job as a burlesque dancer might be enough to end their relationship before it has a chance to blossom. Helena's stories are always sizzling, steamy and hilarious with a HEA and Shacking Up is no exception!

Once I got pat the name Bancroft I absolutely loved this book. Ruby is such a strong likeable female character and Bancroft is loveable make lead. I want to go get another per ferret because Francesca made me miss mine. I want more of Amie's story now minus Armstrong.

I enjoyed Shacking Up. The characters had such personality and the story was fun. I loved the spunky heroine and her knight in shining armor. Such a fun, flirty story and of course the ferret scenes make you want to play with Frannie! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved Ruby and Bancroft.. You never know when you will meet that special person...You never know until you take a risk. Ruby is so fun loving and Bancroft is in lust with this gal he accidentally kisses...
Enjoy this fun read with some great hotness sprinkled in!

Great story and characters that keep you reading and coming for more. Ruby and Bancroft are a couple of people brought together by circumstances beyond their control and ridiculously funny, read on and find out how things going after such an illustrious meet up.

Helena Hunting is the best at laugh out loud sizzling HOT romances. I laughed so hard at times I almost peed myself and needed ice cubes just to cool down from some very sexy scenes. Shacking up was a page turner , great time , a fun ride!

Funny, sexy, and a great story line. This book does not disappoint!! Bane and Ruby have great banter and chemistry together. Also, knowing how this author likes to introduce characters in one book so they can have their own book down the line makes me excited to more on Amie and Lex, maybe even together.

This book was a boat load of fun! These characters (Ruby & Bancroft) were a match made in heaven. Her with her stubborn sassiness and him with his sweetness and let's not forget his hotness, are great together! Totally enjoyed this book & would highly recommend!

Fantastic! Loved this book stayed up way to late couldn't put it down. It was funny and Ruby and Banfield were adorable I hope there will be a book two to follow up on their relationship and also see what happens to Amie she surely can't marry that jerk!!!

Giggling out loud all the way through. Lines like "When I attempt to follow my things, Bancroft puts a hand on my shoulder. My nipples react immediately. They’re so slutty when a hot guy is around." OMG. Definitely spit out my drink a few times. This author writes like my brain spins.

This is one of the wittiest and cleverest stories I've read in a very long time. Ruby is a firecracker. Bancroft will steal your heart. The plot was original and the characters felt real. I absolutely enjoyed every moment of this book.

Never disappointed w her books like EVER, one of my favorite authors. No disappointment w Bane or Ruby either and their unique living arrangements turned hot steamy and sexy relationship. Pair all of that was franny and tiny it's like the perfect read!

OMG this book was awesome. Hot, steamy, romantic, emotinal, LOL funny! You will fall in love with these characters. I can't wait to read more about the bf's Amelia's story!! You can never go wrong with any book by Helena Hunting.

Loved this book. This is an Helena Hunting book so you know it will be hot and sexy. I loved how the characters were able to develop a friendship and they didn't just immediately fall into a sexual relation. Well developed story and I loved their HEA.

This is a slow burn love story done right! Highly entertaining with lots of chemistry between Bancroft and Ruby. It was great how they got to know each other over weeks of just talking, it made their relationship more believable....So good!

Ruby & Bane are great together. I loved their story! I hate Armstrong & feel so bad for Amie. I hope there's another book where Amie gets her happy ending & I hope Armstrong gets what he deserves. Thank you Helena for another great story!

Bravo! Author Helena Hunting has once again blown my mind. She creates such an amazing connection between the male and female characters, which keeps the reader entranced within the book. I cannot wait to read many more of her books.

One of my favorites has scored AGAIN!! This one is full of funny, adorable snark, mixed with some of the most intense sexual tension! Simply adorable secondary characters, Tiny the hairy spider, and Francesca, the playful ferret!!
