Description

New York Times bestselling author of SHACKING UP and I FLIPPING LOVE YOU Helena Hunting mixes humor and heart in this scandal-filled romantic comedy.

HE WANTS TO LOSE CONTROL.
Between his parents’ messed up marriage and his narcissistic younger brother, Lincoln Moorehead has spent the majority of his life avoiding his family. After the death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the drama. To top it all off, he’s been named CEO of Moorehead Media, much to his brother’s chagrin. But Lincoln’s bad attitude softens when he meets the no-nonsense, gorgeous woman who has been given the task of transforming him from the gruff, wilderness guy to a suave businessman

SHE’S TRYING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER.
Wren Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at Moorehead Media at bay, so when she’s presented with a new contract, with new responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working with the reclusive oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the hassle if it means she’s that much closer to pursuing her own dreams. What Wren doesn’t expect is to find herself attracted to him, or for it to be mutual. And she certainly doesn’t expect to fall for Lincoln. But when a shocking new Moorehead scandal comes to light, she’s forced to choose between her own family and the broody, cynical CEO.

    This is the story of the elusive Lincoln Moorehead, we got hints and peeks of him in the other stories in this series. So I was so looking forward to this and Ms. Hunting gives us readers another amazing story! Handle With Care is not only funny and full of the heat you come to love in Ms. Hunting's stories, this one has some twists and turns that are gonna leave you with some OMG moments! Lincoln in forced to become something he doesn't want or need.  He has always been the absentee family member and with good reason. Wren is hired to polish Lincoln's image, but what starts as a professional relationship becomes so much more! She is a bit of a mystery, but good at her job of handling both Lincoln and Aaron...(still the complete jerk he has always been!) Quick witted banter and fantastic dialogue make this story a page turner that you won't be able to put down till the end. Past characters make appearances and it's lovely to read up on what they are up to.  It doesn't distract from the main story and brings just more. Each story in this series just gets better and better! Get you hands on this story, you won't regret it!

    Crazy story about Wren, the city girl, who is hired to be the handler for two brothers in a family business. Armstrong is the womanizing sibling without much of a conscience and Lincoln is the good guy who was off in third world countries living his best life. Their father, who is the head of the company dies unexpectedly, and just like that Lincoln becomes the new CEO of the business. As a handler, Wren, makes sure the brothers look great and keeps them from getting into trouble. She also tends to walk in on Lincoln at all the best times. Some themes: Office romance, cool Grandma, a mother that is not so lovable, twists and turns, tighty whities, strong women and a sweet guy.
  • So good!

    Absolutely Fantastic! Smart, sexy, funny and very entertaining. Wonderfully written with characters that jump off the pages. The banter between the grouchy he-man, Lincoln, the reluctant heir to the massive Moorehead Media empire and his PR handler, the beautiful, smart and capable, Wren is marvelous and so much fun. The two hotties soon find a sexy chemistry that can't be deny. She handles him into the groomed-to-perfection face of the company while he melts her panties (and mine) in the process. Even though he looks the part, behind the scenes he's still the man with an axe to grind with his family and itching to return to his altruistic endeavors to help the less fortunate in third world countries. It looks like their relationship has an end date plus it's not the best for his optics as CEO. Also, his scheming mother has other plans for her eldest that doesn't include a romance with a woman she considers beneath the powerful Moorehead dynasty. The secondary characters are terrific and I love the glimpses of Linc's cousins from previous stories. Oh, those sexy men, Lex and Griffin! The way Wren handles Linc's nasty brother, Armstrong is hilarious! I guess there's no redemption for him in the future. This author's writing is just spectacular and the characters she gives to enjoy are terrific in every way. This story has everything you could want in a sexy romance with humor and enough drama to keep it interesting for a divine couple in Wren and Lincoln and a little mystery surrounding Linc's recently deceased father. Great ending. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

    Wren is a sassy, font take no crap kind of woman. Armstrong has been trying her patience for months. Now she’s hired to be Lincoln’s handler to help him adjust to his new role as CEO of Moorehead Media after his dads death. This book will keep you reading and laughing along. I loved the banter between characters and the steamy chemistry they share. Some twists you don’t see coming and the awesome HEA. Lincoln needed love to thaw his heart and Wren was strong enough to put up with him. A must read book and series. Helena knows how to write great series.

    Oh! My! This was such a wonderful, romantic and yet humorous tale. When and Lincoln are such perfect fools for one another and their relationship makes you sigh with longing for just such a relationship. This, and discovering the source of Armstrong’s severely innate douchery, make this a must read. Oh so many feels!
  • Lincoln is my FAVORITE!

    I adored Bane, Lex, and Griffin, but I LOVED Lincoln! He is rough and gruff and is a bull in a china shop. He is abrasive and aggressive and ALL man. He made my heart pitter patter from the beginning to the very end! Wren was so much fun. I liked her take charge personality and how she handled the super dysfunctional Moorehead family; especially Armstrong. She was exactly what Lincoln needed. I really enjoyed Lincoln and Wren’s story. It was so much fun to read. I loved the witty banter, the heat, and the swoonalicious moments between them. Helena Hunting has became one of my most favorite authors. I can always count on her stories to captivate me and take me to another world where perfect men and happily ever afters exist. I can’t wait to see where she takes me next! ~Review by Lys

    I have been anticipating Lincoln's story and believe me, HH does not disappoint! I have been drooling over Lincoln for awhile in the Shacking Up series, and you will find in this book that he is seriously swoon worthy! Wren is a piece of work and I loved every second of it! These two are dynamite together and you will be waiting for when it all goes down. Handle With Care with give you the goosies, blushes, and an excitement you weren't expecting. Hands down Lincoln is my number one book boyfriend that Helena has written. I never want to leave the Shacking Up crew!

    Handle with Care is the perfect blend of angst and hilarity. Anyone who has read any of the books in the Shacking Up series probably hates Armstrong Moorehead. Lord knows I do so that made me so much more curious about his brother, Lincoln. How could I possibly love a character who's brother might be my least favorite character of all time? It's easy actually because Lincoln is the BEST!! He's a humanitarian, he loves his family, and he is H.O.T. Seriously, he might be my favorite in the entire series. Wren is so fierce!! HH writes some pretty amazing leading ladies and Wren definitely fits in with the rest. She stands her ground, she knows some crazy self defense moves, and she goes for what she wants. I can't imagine two characters more perfect for each other than Linc and Wren. I was glued to my kindle from start to finish. This book is worth every single second of time and sleep I lost reading it. I am totally addicted to this series and don't want to see it end. After Handle with Care, I could even go for a HEA for Armstrong (what??!!)!!! This world is one I'd be happy to visit forever.

    I really loved this book! We have been introduced to many of the characters in this book throughout the Shacking Up Series. Lincoln Moorehead is the brother of Armstrong, who was the dastardly, cheating groom in Hooking Up. Lincoln has been off saving the world when his father dies. He is back for the funeral, when his grandmother talks him into taking over the family media corporation. Since the only immediate family member he respects is his G-mom, he acquiesces. Wren Sterling was initially hired as a PR fixer to cover up Armstrong Moorehead’s many indiscretions. She is now tasked with transforming Lincoln from a scruffy do-gooder to a Fortune 100 CEO. Of course, while they spar verbally, they are insanely attracted to each other. Wren and Lincoln are truly enjoyable characters and I loved their banter, I also loved that the odious Armstrong finally got his comeuppance. I am sad to se the end of this series. I was given an ARC of this book from the author and NetGalley for my honest opinion.
