"Did you kiss him back?” I shrug. “You didn’t even know who he was!” “I was caught off guard. He’s a good kisser. And have you seen him? That man could revive a corpse with his hotness.” “Sometimes you’re very creepy, you know that?”

Shacking Up, a romantic comedy by Helena Hunting is  packed with Hunting’s signature brand of humor and it is a sexy and hilarious story of Ruby and Bancroft.

Ruby is an actress. She comes from a family with money, but unless she works at the family business (which she has no interest in doing) she’s basically cut off financially. She’s in a bit of a pickle right now, not knowing when her next job will come and being behind on her bills… her friend may have an opportunity for her. A pet/house sitting gig that could give her time to find a job and a place to live.

Bancroft Mills is an ex-professional rugby player and heir to a huge hotel chain. He hasn’t lived in New York for several years and now he’s looking to learn the family business and keep permanent residence in NYC. He is pleasantly surprised when he crosses paths with the beautiful girl he shared that unforgettable kiss with. He’s also beyond remorseful when he learns of her predicament due to the fact that he gave her the flu. Bane asks Ruby to house sit and care for his furry friends while he’s away in London.

Will these two be able to work out their housing and employment issues or will an unfortunate misunderstanding between Ruby and Bane end up tearing the couple apart?

This was honestly such an incredibly enjoyable read for me. I love it when a book can transport me to another world and during that short period, the stress and monotony of everyday life are forgotten.

I loved how this story came together at the end, I only wish we got more time with the couple as an actual couple. Overall, Shacking Up is a seriously entertaining, light-hearted romance I devoured. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fresh and fun read.
