Olivia and Chuck have their issues like any other couple, but when Chuck misses Olivia’s grandma’s birthday, it was her final straw. Their breakup was heated, loud, and very public - resulting in a viral video, with Olivia sharing not enough money in the world would convince her to get back with Chuck. Tv producers for Name Your Price take them up on the challenge, asking the two to live in a house together for a month for one million dollars each.

Overall, this was a cute plot and story. Chuck was my favorite part about it tbh. He was giving Glen Powell vibes, which I personally am very into right now. He’s what kept me going. If you saw my stories recently, I did struggle with some of these longer chapters. After powering through those, I enjoyed the teasing, the subplots, and Chuck’s protective/caring moments.

Oliva and Chuck have a lot on the line. Chuck is a struggling actor, and Oliva is a broke nepo baby. So when an explosive fight of theirs goes viral, their relationship is put to the test. Live with each other for 1 month, don’t break any of the TV productions rules and they’ll win $1 million dollars. Easy right?

If you’re a sucker for rom-coms and reality television shows, Name Your Price is a perfect mix. I’m usually not someone who rates romance books 5 stars, but I quickly knew I was going to enjoy the story of Chuck and Oliva. In a lot of romance books, major plot points or character conversations are redundant and drag out the story longer than it needs to be. I did not feel bored once while reading this. Holly James does a great job of balancing the plot out with moments from the TV show, serious conversations with characters, and the characters facing their own personal realities.


If you’re searching for a new weekend read or a book to bring along on vacation, Name Your Price is a good choice for that!



Thanks to NetGalley and Dutton publishing team for this ARC copy!

Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between the characters is so clear. The sexual tension is so thick and heavy. If you are a fan of enemies to lovers, second chance romance, and forced proximity this book has it all!! I loved the premise of this book and the challenges the couple has to do are so funny. This is a must read!

Didn't love, but didn't hate. It's a predictable rom-com (aren't they all!?). The story follows 2 exes that agree to live in a house together for a month on a reality tv show for a chance to will 1 million dollars. However, there is a secondary storyline, which I wanted more from.

The reality of it all was fun to read, but felt rushed. The ending wasn't my favorite, would have loved for Holly James to elaborate a bit more.

*Mini Spoiler*
This book was such a fun read! I loved the reality TV show concept forcing two exes together that are obviously supposed to be together! I also really enjoyed Olivia’s growth throughout the book, and the conclusion that came in the end for her.
I gave it four stars because I thought that while the premise and story itself were strong, I feel like Chuck could have had a little more character development. I also personally would have liked for them to spend more time together in the house. It just wasn’t long enough for me!
In the end though, I really enjoyed this read and would definitely recommend to anyone who loves a good rom com!

Thank you to Netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review!

This book is a romantic tale of two fiery characters. Chuck and Olivia are caught in the Hollywood spotlight and it turns their life upside down. The plot is super exciting and entertaining. It is fast paced and engaging. The dialogue is easy to read and understand. The characters are fully developed and fun. Readers will enjoy the angst that crackles between Chuck and Olivia before exploding in the bedroom. This will make a great summer beach read.

Thank you PRHaudio and Netgalley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.


This had a fun concept, but I thought it was strange that it was second chance romance and they had literally just broken up!!! I think maybe I would have appreciated it more if we saw their relationship more before they broke up and had their argument. We got some glimpses, but much. I didn’t find myself rooting for them as much.

i love when reality tv is in books (my two fav things). this is a slow burn with forced proximity, second chance romance, and lots of banter. this was a cute and fun read!

Name Your Price is an entertaining forced proximity romance. Holly James takes one of my favorite tropes, and adds in “I kinda hate you but can’t keep my hands off you,” along with a reality show set for a genuinely good time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LA journalist Olivia and actor Chuck are constantly arguing, except for when they are kissing and making up. When Olivia is determined to breakup for real this time, though, video of the pair’s screaming argument goes viral. Soon reality show producers are knocking on their doors, promising them $1 million to stay in a house together for a month. Olivia desperately needs the money to care for her beloved grandmother, who raised her after her parents died amid a scandal. And Chuck was fired from the movie he’d thought was his big break, so he’s in too. The catch? Did the producers forget to mention they can’t touch each other? Or that there is only one bed?

As soon as I saw the description of this book, I wanted to read it. I adore the forced proximity that comes with a reality show setting. Olivia and Chuck seem absolutely wrong for each other at the start, but contrived circumstances work to show their good intentions and vulnerability along with their chemistry.

My only quibble is a personal preference: if it’s an antagonists to lovers romance and one character starts out as a jerk, I need dual POV. Otherwise, I have to do a lot of work to uncover the character’s more sensitive feelings. In this case, Chuck is keeping secrets from Olivia, so it probably wouldn’t have worked for this particular story. But, a few scenes from his perspective would have endeared him to me a lot earlier on.

If you are a fan of forced proximity with characters who can’t keep their hands off each other, Name Your Price is a fun book. Even though there are times where it seems that Olivia and Chuck might not be right for each other, their chemistry and vulnerability carry this romcom along to its HEA.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Name Your Price was great! I inhaled this book. It was funny and emotional and just a good time to read. The premise made for a really enjoyable and fast paced read. I’ve liked all of this authors books so far and am definitely a fan. I’d definitely recommend, this was a great romcom!

Name Your Price by Holly James ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did I just obsessively binge the rest of this book today? Yep

Chuck and Olivia are a volatile Hollywood couple, Olivia being the daughter of two celebrities who died in a car crash (Mariska Hargitay anyone?). When their very public breakup leads to them being offered a million dollars to be on tv, trapped in a house together, they hesitantly take the chance. But nothing is as easy as it seems.

I loved this book so much. This is my second Holly James book and she has sucked me in every time. If you like Hollywood romance you need to give this a chance. It’s out on July 30th!

Great chemistry between MCs, great backstory for the FMC, a really neat idea for a reality show, and a satisfying conclusion!

This book is perfect to be made into a movie! Exes Olivia and Chuck are asked to participate in a reality TV show where they are stuck in a house together for a month after their breakup was filmed and sold to a tabloid. But it’s more than just being stuck in the house together. There’s one room, one bed, one bathroom. The dishwasher and the other bathroom are locked until they complete their challenge (if they complete it). The show throws them plenty of curveballs like they can’t touch each other or they lose prize money. But then the show does everything to try to get them to want each other. Will they win the prize money and last 30 days? The only places they can go are inside the house and the backyard.

This was so much fun to read. I know that there are plenty of books about reality TV shows, but this is now probably one of my favorites. The chemistry between Olivia and Chuck was fantastic. But so was their explosive arguments. I fight a lot like Olivia. Oliva is a great character. Born to famous parents, but lost them early on, Olivia has always felt alone. Her birth alone is a scandal and she has tried to stay out of the spot light. Chuck on the other hand was born for the spotlight and he eats it up. But he was fired from his job and he won’t say why.

Chuck tries to get Olivia to see they are perfect together, but Olivia wants to protect her heart. The forced proximity in this book worked well for their relationship because it caused them to talk. They know each other really well, but there are always more things to learn.

There are plenty of funny moments in this book as well. And fantastic side characters. Grandma Ruby is one for the books! She’s so sweet and wise. Manse is also great. The TV show people are just eh and cross lines, but I guess that happens.

I think any rom-com reader will love this book.

I tried, but not for me.

I just couldn't connect with the characters or the storyline. I felt they were either at 100% combat or 100% combustion, with nothing much else in between. It was a cute premise but unfortunately missed the mark for me.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Olivia and Chuck are such a passionate and volatile couple at the same time and when they have a public fight outside Olivia's apartment that goes viral, they are approached by the producers of Name Your Price, a reality tv show. Chuck is an actor and Olivia's parents were a Hollywood scandal back in the day so the producers are very into their story and want them to live together in a house that they can not leave with certain challenges for the potential to win 1 million dollars each. They are both in need of the money with Olivia's grandmother who raised her living in a nursing home and Chuck recently got fired from the movie he was working on. The stakes are high, but will they be able to make it to win 1 million dollars?

I thought this was such a cute, laugh out loud, second-chance romance. Olivia and Chuck were really both good people but when together, they were volatile for each other. Their chemistry is insane which is shown when they can't keep their hands off each other in the house and start loosing money. I loved how they worked through their issues and staying in the house really pushed them to address their issues together and separately. I enjoyed the side storyline of Olivia finding out about her parents and the true story there, not just what they media had picked up and ran with. Overall, I really loved this one!

This was such a cute second chance romance! Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes -- actually, it's probably my favorite -- and this book definitely delivered on that front. Perfect book for summer. Also, the reality show element was spot on and so well done!

I loved this book so much. Second chance romances especially when they go from lovers to enemies and back to lovers is my jam. I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

The chemistry between them is unreal. So good. This story made me cry, sigh, laugh out loud, growl, it put me through the ringer.

Seriously such an amazing story.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the free ARC!

I loved this one! It was a spicy page-turner with the always fun celebrity/Hollywood element. I’m not a big fan of reality TV, so those scenes weren’t my favorite, but thankfully the book focused less on the TV show than I thought it would. Chuck and Olivia had great chemistry. I read this in one day, so obviously I would recommend it!

Thank you to the publisher - I received a complimentary eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

“Name Your Price” by Holly James is a romcom with an interesting twist. Our main characters start the book in a fight, a silly fight, but a fight none-the-less that escalates enough for bystanders to record it and change our characters lives forever.

Olivia and Chuck have been in an on-again/off-again relationship for while now (the timeframe is never really clear). They break up and make up with almost every fight they have. The latest fight lands them a reality tv show deal to live together for a month and win 1 million dollars. Of course from here reality tv show antics ensue.

Let me say I did come to enjoy this book. I even shed a tear at the end, but the main characters are immature and so are their fights. I actually almost didn’t finish the book because I found the fighting was so inexplicably childish for the first 30% of the book It was probably meant to be funny how outlandish they acted, but it didn’t work for me. Once the characters really started opening up to each other, that’s when the story really took off me in a much better way. Olivia and Chuck really did have great chemistry, but I wanted more emotions rather than, “omg he is so hot, but I hate him”. Once that happened, I really enjoyed the story and their character development. I get that the immaturity in the beginning helps show growth at the end, it just wasn’t believable immaturity, if that makes sense.

I think many readers will love this premise and this story. Thank you NetGalley for the eARC! 3.5 stars, rounded up!

Rules are made to be broken!

Olivia Martin loved Chuck Walsh but when he cancelled plans for the last time she had enough of him ending in a huge fight in front of his apartment building to hopefully never see him again. She never expected that someone was filming their breakup and posting the video online and it goes viral. She never expected that Name Your Price game show would come calling.

Olivia agreed to do the show because she needed money to pay for her grandmother’s nursing home but she never expected being around Chuck twenty-four hours a day would cause them both to break all the rules while they tried to win the money.

I loved where Olivia and Chuck would forget how good they were together when they tried to stay away from each other.
