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!

Thank you to the publisher for sending a copy to review

If you had the opportunity to live under the roof for a million dollars with your ex would you do it?

I loved the premise of this. If you are a fan of reality tv, romcoms, tension, and banter, this is for you. It was very lighthearted.

Thank you to Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is an amusing love story that’s perfect to read at the beach 🏖️ or by the pool.
Olivia and Chuck have finally broken up for the last time, and this time it went viral. The reality TV show offers to pay them $1M each if they live together for a month, no touching! That’s unfortunate, because the two of them have extra strength chemistry and it’s hard to keep their hands (and lips) to themselves. Olivia needs the money to pay for her grandma’s nursing home, and Chuck has been unfairly accused of trouble on a movie set.
The show wants them in particular because Chuck is an up and coming movie star, and Olivia is the product of one of Hollywood’s most famous doomed affairs.
I liked Holly James’ last book and this one is just as good.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Marrying zany reality TV hijinks and a romance with both simmering sexual tension and an unexpected amount of depth, Name Your Price was a near-perfect adult romcom that took me by surprise.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt like I could really relate to Olivia and all her initial anxieties and feelings.

I have been very into the reality TV trope this summer. This fell a little flat for me and I didn’t see the connection between the two. I did love the grandma however!

NAME YOUR PRICE is a sweet romance with just a dash of spice. If you like forced proximity and reality show tropes, you’ll enjoy this book. It follows the story of Olivia (daughter of a Hollywood starlet) and Chuck (an aspiring actor) who are challenged to live together for a million dollar payout.

There’s some great chemistry between these two and some cute banter. I was interested in Olivia’s backstory and I would have liked more about that, but overall this was an easy, fun read with a great premise. 3.5 stars for me.

Thank you to publisher Dutton and NetGalley for the early digital copy of NAME YOUR PRICE in exchange for my feedback.

I really enjoyed this one and found it fun. I was pretty entertained with this romcom. We meet Olivia and Chuck - with amazing chemistry that you can feel through the pages. Their banter is hilarious and witty. They are challenged to spend one month together without touching each other - can they do it? You get an interesting reality show in this one - where their palpable chemistry might get exploited for the show concept. It was fun, go in blind. Thank you to NETGALLEY and Penguin Group for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Name Your Price starts with the tumultuous, viral breakup of Olivia and Chuck, which catches the eyes of some producers of a reality show. They are approached with the idea of a challenge to live under one roof for a month without touching (or killing) each other – think Too Hot To Handle type of TV show – for a huge monetary prize. Olivia needs the money to care for her grandmother and Chuck’s showbiz career isn’t taking off like he’d like so he could use the publicity.

I adored the full-circle moment at the end with Olivia confronting her past and learning why Chuck’s career hit a speed bump. Their chemistry was also great. 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.

Although I didn’t vibe with this book to the level I have with her past books this is still a wonderful book that I enjoyed. It lives up the concept which I consider an accomplishment with how alluring the premise is. It has forced proximity, insane chemistry, lots of funny moments, and all the drama you’d want from a reality tv show.

I loved the chemistry of Olivia and Chuck right from the start. Their story and relationship was fun to follow. My favorite part was each of them describing their first impressions of one another. So sweet and from that you knew they were meant to be together. & there were a few 🌶️ parts.

Thank you PENGUIN GROUP Dutton and netgalley for the arc!

💭 MY THOUGHTS: This was a super fun and sweet forced proximity trope mixed with a reality show setting. I loved the fun antics Olivia and Chuck were thrown into as a part of the reality competition.

Olivia and Chuck’s chemistry was always there but the relational component was what kept getting in their way. We’d get glimpses of them being sweet to on another but they needed to work out how to let their guards down and communicate. I loved both their backstories and the reasons they each had for holding back.

My only complaint (which I’ve read in other reviews) is the name Chuck 😂 Like the least sexy name possible in my opinion (sorry to any Chuck’s out there.

Read for:
📲 Viral Breakup
🏡 Forced Proximity
🩵 Second Chance Romance
📺 Reality Show
👄 Witty Banter
😂 Funny Antics
👓 Single POV
📍 Los Angeles

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️/ 5

Name Your Price totally took me by surprise. When I read the description and looked at the cover, I thought it would be a cute romcom about exes and second chances. I did not expect to be fully invested in the main characters and their relationship. Chuck and Olivia are both imperfect MCs. In fact, I wasnt sold on Olivia at first - thought she was a bit immature but as the book progresses, you understand why she is the way she is and get her perspective of things. Chuck is the same. I saw a shallow actor who only cares about looks and maybe not as talented. Again, as it progresses you understand who he is and see other parts of him that just endeared me. I was rooting for them to get back together. I felt their chemistry through the pages because of how well the writer has conveyed that. The banter is funny and top notch. The other elements in the book worked for the premise of it - the reality show, Olivia being a nepo baby, Chuck's movie set debacle and more. It all worked for the perfect Hollywood book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley, PRH Audio and Dutton Books for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! I was also lucky enough to receive an ALC from the Penguin Random House Audio Influencer Program. @prhaudio #PRHAudio #PRHAudioInfluencer
All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this delightful novel. I loved how it takes the enemies to lovers twist and turns it upside down. It was so funny to read about Olivia and Chuck having to live in a small house together while they are technichally broken up.

Additonally, this book has some drama and suspense that will draw the reader in, so this book is not just your swoon worthy romance, it is a little more. This book is narrated by Nikki Massoud. I sort of think that this book would've been better if it had switched between Chuck and Olivia's perspectives, though it was still an 5 star read for sure. Nikki Massoud was a great narrator.

Be sure to pick up this delightful romance this summer!

Many Thanks again to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was fun, steamy and kept me reading. I enjoyed this book and will look for more books by this author.

What I loved most about this book was how well Olivia and Chuck learned to communicate with one another. I will take fighting as a form
of communication over the miscommunication trope any day of the week. The passion and chemistry between the characters was alive on every page, and the forced proximity with the added twist of losing money for every stolen touch really upped the tension in this novel.

The TV show concept is intriguing and entertaining, but I found myself getting too irritated with the various challenges the couple had to perform. I know it would probably would have been a pretty boring book without all of the added drama, but the plotted pettiness is the exact reason I can’t stand reality TV. Something I probably should have thought about before applying for this ARC, but also the exact reason this book is perfect for anyone who loves watching reality TV.

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for:
🎥 Reality TV Romance
❤️ Forced Proximity
🎥 Second Chance Romance
❤️ One Bed
🎥 Open Communication
