Review: Handle With Care (Shacking Up Book 5) by Helena Hunting
Lincoln will have a hell of a time as he takes over the running of his family's empire. He's been away from the city (and his family) for a decade, doing REAL things, humanitarian things, and really does not want to take over running the empire. But, when his Grandma commands him, he jumps. She's the only one he really loves, and he'd do anything for her. He has to say goodbye to his now deceased father, figure out how to get the empire up and running, then take off back to his life. But when Wren bulldozes her way into his life, he's flummoxed. He wasn't expecting her, but he sure as hell realizes how gorgeous she is (and how much easier she's making his life, even though he doesn't want to admit that at first). Can these two start something, maintain something, when he plans on leaving the city soon? She just may surprise him, just may turn out to be the rock he needs when long-held secrets concerning his family come to light.
"You know, Wren, until you came along, I didn't think love like this was possible."
"You just needed someone who could handle how amazing you are."
I've been dying for Lincoln's story forever, and I gotta say that Handle With Care more than lives up to my expectations. Like its most recent predecessor, Making Up, Handle With Care is fun and witty and sexy. I love how these seemingly opposite people fall for each other, even while not wanting to admit it at first. But most of all, I love that Lincoln is not the normal alphahole so prevalent in romance these days. Oh sure, he's confident, but he's not an ass, he's not a manwhore, he's sweet but strong, and unafraid to be vulnerable when he's feeling in need of some comfort. He's fabulous! And Wren is most definitely equally as fabulous - strong and tough with a huge heart. She's perfect for Lincoln. I hope there's more to come in the Shacking Up series, because it just keeps getting better with each couple.
