Name Your Price by Holly James sure brings the drama. It's a fun, enjoyable read especially if you love reality tv. For me, though, Olivia's impulsivity is a bit over the top. The couple's chemistry is definitely evident, but because we are thrust into the story after their breakup and the couple only relaying the past story through the couch interviews, it's hard to know what drew them to each other besides "love at first sight". The ending was satisfying and overall it was an enjoyable read, invoking most of the feels that rom coms should.
Thanks to #NetGalley and #Penguin Group Dutton for the ARC.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Big Brother meets Love Island with two people. Seriously two of my favorite shows so when I read "Big Brother-Love Island spinoff" I knew I was going to love this book. It made me laugh quite a few times and also made me mad a few times. Olivia and Chuck both drew you in and left you wanting to read more. Such a great rom-com and page turner. I couldn't put this book down! Holly James just gained a new fan and I can't wait to read more from her!!

After a video of their explosive fight goes viral, Olivia and Chuck find themselves in the Studio office of Name Your Price, a reality game show. Locked together in a house without the ability to leave leaving them questioning their decisions. A million dollars on the line is a huge payday for two people who are broke but will they be able to last given the multitude of tests they're about to be put through? One bed, one bathroom and a lot of rules including no touching. Olivia and Chuck are perfect for each other and have explosive chemistry. Will being locked in a house together push them back together or keep them apart?

Thank you to Holly James, NetGalley, and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the ARC of Name Your Price.

Name Your Price is a great book to read on the beach (or by the pool) - perfect for summer! It starts with the viral breakup of Olivia and Chuck, which draws the attention of a couple of producers of a reality show who approach them about the idea for a show with a challenge to live under one roof for a month without touching (or killing) each other – think MTV show in its prime – for a significant monetary prize. Olivia needs the money to care for her grandmother and Chuck’s career hasn't progressed as he hoped so surely he could use the publicity. This was an easy, fun read!

Thank you to Holly James, Penguin Group Dutton, and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

The plot of this book was top notch and I feel it was executed well! The chemistry between the two leads was amazing. I enjoyed my time with them and would definitely read more!

I've been a fan of Holly's books and loved The Deja Glitch, so was eager to give this one a read. Such an unusual premise where exes vow that they wouldn't get back together even if paid 1 million dollars to then find themselves on a reality TV show, stuck in a house together to try to win 1 million dollars. This was cute and quirky with classic forced proximity & enemies to lovers tropes. The FMC, Olivia is endearing with relatable character flaws as she struggles to overcome the notoriety of her famous parents' relationship, her birth, and their deaths. Chuck is a struggling actor with his own relatable character flaws, and the two together are like a flame to gasoline. This was unique, funny, and entertaining with some slow burn romance, and definitely one to check out! Thanks so much to Holly James, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this e-arc!

I'm not vibing with the writing or the plot. The synopsis seemed fine and like it could be a good spin on Too Hot To Handle or Love Island... but I can't. I got to the part where Olivia and Chuck are moving into the house together and there's just something about it that makes my skin crawl. It just sounds like one heck of a boring reality tv show. If Olivia is going to do everything she can to avoid Chuck in the house.... how is that going to make for good reality tv or a good story? It's a no from me.

If you’re a fan of reality shows, then this romance is for you. Olivia and Chuck are Hollywood stars who have a tumultuous relationship. They have intense chemistry together, yet easily butt heads. This causes an endless cycle of break ups and make ups between the two. They took their last heated dispute to the streets where a viral video caught the attention of a reality game show. They are presented with a contract offering the two exes to survive living in a house together for one month and have everything taped. If they accomplish this, they will each earn a million dollars. Catch is, they get deducted money from that sum every time they physically touch one another.

Here’s what I loved:
- A cute, entertaining, fun romance.
- Reality game show was a great setting.
- Major chemistry, tension and banter!
- Sweet relationship between Olivia and her dear grandma.
- Mysteries surrounding Olivia’s parents and Chucks recent quarrel with a director.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dutton - all opinions are my own.

I enjoyed NAME YOUR PRICE's premise as a massive reality TV fan. There were a few places that I felt like the books could have used a bit more exposition, character building, and motivation. I loved the tension that Holly James was able to achieve between the characters, but I would have loved to see a bit more of the "why." A fun romcom read, nonetheless.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for the eARC.

Second chance romance is a trope that I either love or hate. With the setting of a reality TV show Holly James managed to put it into a setting that made me swoon. I loved this book. I loved the characters and the relationship development. I found myself so engrossed in this story.

Name Your Price brought together a combination of things I love: reality tv, specifically game shows like Big Brother and dating shows like The Bachelor or Love Island. Olivia and Chuck have the type of chemistry that took them from lovers, to enemies, to lovers again. Their hot-tempered relationship ended in an explosive fight that turned into a viral video. Olivia was put to the test when the Name Your Price reality show approached her and Chuck about making good on her break-up vow. Suddenly, 1 million dollars was on the line, and they were forced to live together for one month with rules that only skyrocket the tension. Can they do it? You'll have to read to find out!
Holly James did a beautiful job weaving in character development and personal growth for both Olivia and Chuck while also maintaining a fast paced, tension-filled, romcom love story. I recommend this book if you like: family drama, second chance romance, lovers to enemies to lovers again, forced proximity.

Name Your Price is a delightful rollercoaster of a rom-com that sizzles with chemistry and crackles with humor! Olivia and Chuck, exes with a knack for drama, find themselves locked in a house for a reality show with a million dollars on the line. Their explosive chemistry lights up every page, making for a deliciously tense and hilarious read.
The author masterfully captures the absurd sincerity of reality TV love, blending high stakes and heartfelt moments. Olivia's desperation to secure her grandmother's future and Chuck's relentless determination to win Olivia back add depth to the frothy fun. The show's rules—one bed, one bathroom, no touching—ensure that the sparks fly in every direction.
If you're looking for a spicy, entertaining, and surprisingly heartfelt second-chance romance, Name Your Price delivers in spades. Tune in for the drama, stay for the romance, and enjoy every twist and turn along the way!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Your public break-up goes viral and leads to a reality TV appearance with a million dollars on the line? Talk about a gripping premise!

This sweet romcom was so much deeper than I anticipated it would be and I loved every second of it. Olivia and Chuck both seem to be pretty immature people from the start — but the character growth is phenomenal.

The chemistry between Olivia and Chuck is off the charts — the tension is soooo good! Such a slow burn with so. much. steam. 🔥🔥🔥

The ending felt rushed and I wish one certain plot line had been more drawn out (obviously can’t expand on that without spoilers 😆).

Highly recommend if you like:
second chance romance
forced proximity
family drama
Hollywood setting

The Deja Glitch was a surprise 5 star favorite last year, so I quickly jumped on the chance to read Jolly James' new book. This ended up being a case where I should have been more aware of how rigid I can be with particular tropes, because even though the book was well written, I couldn't connect to the Hollywood scene characters and reality TV theme.

Olivia Martin is the daughter of an ill fated, infamous Hollywood couple, who has largely lived her life out of the spotlight due to the careful upbringing from her grandmother. Her on again, off again boyfriend, B-list actor Chuck Walsh has just been fired from his breakout role amid production, and the two do what they do best, fight. Their screaming match on the street ends up going viral, and catches the eye of the producers of the reality game show, Name Your Price. They pitch the former couple with the unthinkable - live together in a house with their every move recorded for one whole month without either of them leaving, and they will win a million dollars each. Desperate for the cash to keep her mother in her nursing home, Olivia agrees, and the forced proximity ups the tension that has always existed between them. With the producers throwing every obstacle in their way to try to manipulate them into giving up their fortune, Olivia has to fight her instincts to run away from her feelings. The physical chemistry between the couple was palpable, but Olivia was emotionally closed off and hard to connect with. It was a quick read and easy to digest, but it didn't blow me away.

I wasn't sure about the reality TV angle here. I have had hit and misses with this, but the premise was intriguing. I found this captivating and was rooting for Chuck all along. He was a smitten secretive guy who was just trying to keep his girl! Olivia was a but much sometimes, but I loved their banter and inability to stay apart.

Thanks to the publisher for this advanced eCopy. All thoughts are my own!

Name Your Price by Holly James is a fun, quick read, about Chuck and Olivia, a couple whose hot-tempered relationship goes viral when their angry and public break-up is filmed, without their knowledge. Never one to pass up an opportunity, reality TV producer TJ Price reaches out to them with a proposition: a Big Brother-type seclusion together in a house for a month. If they make it, it's worth a million dollars to them. At Olivia's insistence - a million dollars each.

But it wouldn't be reality TV without some major challenges. Can they overcome the challenges presented by the show - and more importantly, by each other?

It's a fun ride, finding out. The quick-paced novel has realistic situations and misunderstandings, and characters you can't help but like and root for. Definitely recommend.

**Review posted on Amazon and Goodreads

Name Your Price by Holly James is just too much fun. Olivia and Chuck have a love/hate relationship. They have explosive chemistry, which is great for their physical relationship, but otherwise they are constantly fighting. And this time when Olivia breaks up with Chuck she swears it’ll be for the last time. Unfortunately their breakup was captured on camera and went viral…attracting the attention of the TV show Name Your Price…and they’ve made Olivia and Chuck an offer, and since both are in dire need of cash it’s an offer they can’t refuse. They need to live together for a month in a house, having their lives filmed 24/7. If they can do it, they’ll each walk away with a million dollars. Of course the deck is stacked against them with rules geared to push their buttons and drive them crazy. Great characters with a fun story make this a romcom not to be missed. I’d like to thank PENGUIN GROUP Dutton and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an eARC of Name Your Price.

This is cute, it was not what I expected and I found it to be predictable and very slow in parts, but overall I enjoyed it. I was able to skim through the parts I found slow and it did not miss anything. I thought the story line was cute - exes who are trapped in a house for a month to win $1 million each. While trapped in the house they need to actually talk and walk through some of their issues. The dynamic between them is annoying at first, but by the end you fall in love with them. I loved the chemistry and the growth that they both went through. Overall a cute summer read.

Thank you Netgalley for my advanced reader copy

5 stars! What a surprisingly cute read! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this new to me author in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this book! It had a great mix of fun, drama, heart and humor. I enjoyed both the main characters as well as the side characters. The plot was plenty exciting and kept me reading. I will definitely look to read more by this author in the future

Thank you to @hellohollyjames @prhaudio & @duttonbooks for the #gifted paperback & #audio #ARC of #NameYourPrice

I really loved last year’s The Déjà Glitch by #HollyJames so I couldn’t wait to #read Name Your Price.

Olivia & Chuck have insane chemistry. They literally cannot keep their hands off each other. But they also have plenty of fights & making up is one of their favorite activities. That is, until Olivia has finally had enough after Chuck lets her down by missing her grandmother’s birthday dinner. They have a HUGE public fight that gets recorded by the host of Name Your Price & goes viral since Chuck is a famous “bad boy” #actor & Olivia is caught up in a decades long #scandal involving her #Hollywood parents. Name Your Price gets them to agree to do the show by letting them name their price of $1M each if they succeed. Chuck has his own reasons for needing the money & Olivia’s grandmother is about to get kicked out of her nursing home if Olivia doesn’t come up with past due payments very quickly.

All Chuck & Olivia have to do is live in a locked house together for one month without angering each other so much they bail, plus participate in some fun little challenges to keep it entertaining - - or so they think. What the #gameshow really has planned for them is far worse than either could have imagined. Will they be able to make it the full month without hitting their breaking points or will they be rolling in huge piles of cash? And how will their relationship be once it’s all over?

I LOVED both MCs, but definitely loved Chuck a little more. He’s not perfect, but Olivia’s issues are definitely more crippling to their relationship. I wanted to scream at her so many times. And the villain to this story? He’s a doozy! I loved the premise of the story being a reality game/dating show. I’m a sucker for #RealityTV! Most of all, I loved how Olivia & Chuck really worked on their relationship & their issues the entire way through the #book. The growth in both of them was phenomenal.

4.5 Stars - Grab it TODAY!

Name Your Price is fun and sexy and well worth a read on a lazy afternoon when you just want to relax with a guaranteed HEA. I miss the characters already!
