Review: Flipping for Love

✩✩✩

Lily Broadbent has always lived in her sister’s shadow. She finally has a chance to shine when her gorgeous boss, Jackson Davenport, tasks her with flipping a house. This is her opportunity to not only snag a promotion as project manager but also to impress Jackson. Then she’ll have her dream job, her dream man, and her dream life.

Ryan Mills wants nothing more than to run his own successful home remodeling business without his father’s interference. He’s eager to prove himself when Davenport Properties hires him.

When Lily meets the new contractor assigned to her house project, she’s stunned to see her old high school crush—the same guy who used to date her sister. Ryan doesn’t recognize Lily and her web of deception begins.

Will Ryan discover who she really is before they finish the project? Will Lily win Jackson’s heart before she loses her own?

Review: Can you love and hate a book at the same time? I don't remember having such extreme feelings about a story before, but that's what happened when I was reading Flipping for Love. 

I love a good home renovation project, and even more when it leads to a sweet romance. But the main characters in this book? They were terrible. 

Lily is keen on getting a promotion, and I totally understand that. But when she finally gets it, her first thought is that the next step is to convince her boss that she also should be his wife and the mother of his children? Frankly, she not only comes across as a stalker, but I also find her attitude an insult to all professional women out there that want to be promoted based on their skills. 

My feelings about Ryan are not as stronger, mostly because I found him so bland he could fade into one of the walls he paints. 

So...overall I believe the story had potential but the characters needed to improve a lot before I could bring myself to actively recommend this book. 

Happy readings!
