I like Helena Hunting. This series is siblings and cousins and I wish I had a family tree to go off of. Love the tropes used and the spice...

”I’ll take the uncertainty of a future with him, rather than the certainty of his absence and the hole it will leave in my life.”
With Making Up, Helena Hunting delivers another hilarious romcom in the Shacking Up series. It was about time that Griffin got his very own story that will lift your mood in record time.
I enjoyed every second of this book. The story ran smooth, in a perfect pace and aces the balance of lighter and heavier topics.
”You’re not a rebound or a fling; you’re exactly what I want and I’ll do whatever I can to keep you in my life.”
With Griffin and Cosy we get another fantastic fit out of this authors feather. Even though there is a little age gap and they are both in different points in life, they balance each other perfectly.
Cosy is exactly what Griffin needs to detach himself and find himself more in this Mills Hotel imperium world. Whereas Griffin is exactly what Cosy needs to give her some more stability and guidance and to push her towards her goals.
”Talk to me. Fall apart on me. Show me your weakness, so I can give you my strength.”
Making Up is a funny and highly entertaining story with great characters that will steal your heart at first sight.
”You’re the only person I want to road trip through this life with.”

Helena Hunting is a one click author for me! I have been anxiously waiting for last Mills brother to arrive and Helena did not disappoint!! He is sweet, slightly shy, yet commanding, he is absolute perfection and the wait was worth it!
Griffin Mills is the eldest Mills brother, yet very different from his two younger outspoken and don't mind living in the spotlight brothers. Griffin is a numbers man, the traveler, and planner. He has helped build the Mills Hotel chain by being calculated, meeting Cosy Felton while he was shopping for gag gifts in a sex toy shop was not his usual style, but something told him she was worth the risk. She may be a little younger than he is, but he's willing to take a chance, at least see what their connection is while he's working in Vegas. If it doesn't work out then no harm, he's only in town for a couple months and they can end things when he leaves. Seems easy enough, that is until things get complicated.
Cosy was finishing her degree and working part-time in a sex shop when a gorgeous man in a suit came walking in. Sure lots of people came in everyday, but there was something different about this particular suit. Griffin was shy, downright awkward about being in the store and Cosy couldn't help but be drawn to him. Even against her better judgement and her self appointed rule about dating customers, she gives in...hello he's gorgeous. What she doesn't find out until weeks later is Griffin is more than just a suit, he's a hotel mogul billionaire suit. What is he doing with her?
Griffin is a serial monogamist, a billionaire, and a decade older with just a bit more baggage than Cosy, can he really offer her what she needs as she's just getting started with her life, which includes diner milkshakes, no long term commitments, and barely affording rent?
Cosy has yet to see the world, she never makes plans, when she wants to go somewhere she just hops in her car and heads in a direction. Can she really offer Griffin a life of perfection when he is used to having everything at his fingertips and she's a hot mess?
Cosy and Griffin are so imperfectly perfectly matched, that once they get over their own imperfections they wake up and realize just how perfect they are for each other. This is just one of the reasons I adore Helena's writing! Make sure you add this one to your TBR now!

So this book sort of begins in a adult toy store, where Cozy is working when hot sex in a suit Griffin walks into the store with a bachelor party list. She thinks that would be the end of their encounter but few days later he walks into the shop and asks her out to dinner.
The thing with adult romance or chick lit is not to give too much away. We usually all know how they end. The sweetest parts are in the middle where we cant predict. So advice is, just read it.
