Sparks ignite as a pair of broke exes get locked in a house together on a reality show for a chance to win a million dollars, a second-chance romance that perfectly captures the absurd sincerity of made-for-TV love.

What I Liked: In the last 20% of the book once they are out of the competition Liv starts taking control of her life. She helps Chuck get his career back on track by writing the article exposing why he got let go from his job and putting him into a better spotlight. But even more so Liv finally comes to terms with her parent's untimely death and eventually capitalizes on the story they never got to share with the world. I didn't really understand why she thought her parents hated her when she was a baby but I liked the plotline about Liv getting together with the "other woman" to hash it out. I also liked Liv's emotional arc of not running when things get rough and realizing that she was kind of the problem, not Chuck.

What I Didn't Like: The toxic relationship between Chuck and Liv for the first half of the book They're all sex and no communication. Liv seemed kind of immature. I mean she locks Chuck out of the house and makes him sleep on a pool chair because god forbid they share a bed. Like what are we 16? It felt like it went on like that for over 50% of the book and I was just over it.

Read if you like enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and second-chance romance. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 7/30

I enjoyed this book! It was an interesting concept and idea that I haven’t heard before in a book which I really liked!! It was an interesting take on a more modern love story. The banter was so fun, the challenge was so fun I couldn’t put it down I had to see if they were able to win the million dollars or not!!
3.5 stars!

Perfect from start to finish! Great banter and a charming cast in Name Your Price — I loved Chuck and Olivia, loved how the story opened and unfolded, and thought the premise made for an entertaining journey. I was itching to get back every time I had to put it down, and was gasping as if actually watching this play out on air 😂

It didn’t disappoint!! Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for a DRC in exchange for my honest review.

"How he could go from making her want to scream to make her ovaries burst in the same hour was truly a unique talent."

Would you agree to spend a month in the same house with your ex? For a million dollars 💰 🤔🤔

Well that's what happened to our heroine Olivia.
She and Chuck had just broken up and their break up went viral on the internet then they got spotted by the producers of the show Name Your Price.
The challenge is they have to spend a month in the same house with only one bathroom one bedroom no internet and no touching of any kind or else they will lose money easier said than done right?!😮‍💨😏 especially when the two cannot stand each other but also they cannot stay away from each other they are both fire and gasoline could she survive and not kill him and win a million dollar? Will it end badly? At the end there are both in the same house anything could happen and a speck of fire could light their passion on again 🔥🔥🔥.
Loved this book soooo much 😍 ❤️
From the first chapter I was hooked and laughing 🤣 so hard. It was different from all the other rom-coms I usually read which made it way more interesting ❣️.
Olivia & Chuck relationship was complicated, sweet, and fiery. I really loved the chapters were they were forced together and not trying to touch but they were dying inside 🫠🫠🫠.
So much angst and passion 💕💕.
It was written perfectly and I wish it could be made into a movie or TV show it would be a blast 😉.

Thank you so much @netgalley and the publisher for granting me an ARC of #NameYourPrice in exchange for my honest review.

NAME YOUR PRICE is a romance about two exes who are offered a prize of a million dollars if they can spend 30 days locked in a house without leaving or killing each other. without a doubt, it's one of the funniest, messiest books i've ever read and i had the time of my life!! it takes a very talented author to make me go from disliking the MMC in the beginning to loving him in the end, and that's exactly what happened. liv and chuck's chemistry was absolutely insane and the bickering, arguing and sexual tension in this book had me SWEATING but loving every minute.

read if you like:
- forced proximity
- second chance
- reality romance

thanks to netgalley and dutton for the advanced copy! NAME YOUR PRICE comes out july 30.

Well, it was a good read. It gave me a few butterflies and I enjoyed the snark. A solid contribution to my contemporary romance reads!

This was so much fun! Really the perfect rom-com and would be fabulous as a movie. Chuck and Olivia have such awesome chemistry and banter, plus the forced proximity game show adds the perfect amount tension. I felt like the stakes were at the right level: Liv needs the prize money to fund her grandmother's assisted living fees and Chuck is trying to stay afloat after mysteriously being fired from his big-break acting job. These two really struggle to keep their hands off each other which had me giggling and kicking my feet. They fight a lot, especially in the beginning (that's how they wind up on the show). But the way we learn about them while they learn about themselves and each other made for some great character development. Olivia and Chuck felt like real people with realistic flaws who needed to face their issues to move forward and the game show was a great setting and antagonist for this process. The pacing is consistent and the end of the story felt, honestly, perfect. I often feel like endings are either rushed or drawn out, but this was a great blend of third-act conflict, reconciliation, and upward growth. My one wish was that somehow Olivia and Chuck were able to sue the show for their prize money because the host broke contract by bringing up Chuck's job. But the actual endings solved their money troubles so I don't mind that this didn't happen. It just would have been fun karma for TJ.

Thank you so much to Dutton/PRH and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.🫶🏻

Well, it was a good read. It gave me a few butterflies and I enjoyed the snark. A solid contribution to my contemporary romance reads. 💜📚

I absolutely loved this book! Holly is such a fun author to read and this book really had it all!! I did not want this book to end. Olivia and Chuck have witty banter, spice, tension and show so much growth as individuals and in their relationship! I love the touch of Hollywood scandal and reality tv! It’s a MUST READ if you’re a rom-com fan like me!

I fell in love with Holly James’ stories and writing when I had the privilege of reading/reviewing her previous book, The Deja Glitch, and this second book did not disappoint. I love books that feel like you’re watching an early 2000’s romcom and it was too good to put down. The forced proximity trope will always do it for me, especially when both lead characters have impeccable chemistry together. If you like a cute, short, summer romance with enjoyable characters, I would highly recommend name your price by Holly James

A different take on the second chance romance storyline! Loved the reality show setting and banter between Olivia and Chuck. Would of loved to read more about their relationship before the breakup. Fun summer read!

<i>I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.</i>

3.5 stars

I loved <i>The Deja Glitch</i> so I had high hopes for <i>Name Your Price</i>. The premise sounded unique and entertaining. The cover is adorable. I love Holly James' writing.

Unfortunately, while this book has interesting moments, it didn't grab me. It held enough of my interest for me to keep going; I never thought about not finishing it. I was vaguely curious where it was going (and unsurprised by the direction it took). But I had a few issues with it:

It had a weirdly condensed but slow timeline, if that makes sense. The events of the story were smushed into like 2 weeks but it dragged at times. The supporting characters were fun but the nature of the setup didn't give us much time to get to know them. It put a lot more pressure on the main characters and I think it did the story a disservice.

We needed more time to get to know Olivia and Chuck before they ended up on the show. Maybe more time pre-breakup? Or immediately post breakup? We needed something more because Olivia is intensely unlikable in the beginning. The story is told from a third person limited PoV so we're in Olivia's head but at a remove that makes it difficult to relate. It isn't flattering to Chuck, either. But I know that without that, Olivia's arc wouldn't pay off in the same way.

I feel ambivalent about this one.

Emphasis on the COMEDY in romcom, this one will definitely make you laugh.

There’s a story for every mood, I’d recommend this one for a playful and fun vibe. Olivia & Chucks story is lighter hearted than most, so if you want an easy read you’ve definitely found it.

I enjoyed their banter and the backstory, but wish we could’ve gotten just a bit more depth. I would recommend the read, just make sure you’re in the right mood for it!

Thank you to the publisher for the gifted ARC

I wish that this novel was told through alternating perspectives because I would have warmed up to Chuck much sooner. I kept waiting for the real romantic interest to show up. I wish that there was more exploration of the house and challenges. The steamy scenes were steamy and good.

What a fun silly romance. Perfect for the poolside or the beach. Easily to devour.

Olivia and Chuck get filmed when they explosively broke up and they are both already a little famous so a reality tv show wants to do a segment where they live as exes in a house together for a month for a million dollars each if they complete ridiculous challenges and don’t leave the property.

This was a fun take on reality tv shows and it did add in some heart with Olivia’s grandmother in a care facility and Olivia needing the money to keep her where she wants to be. I enjoyed it.

Thanks to netgalley and penguin group for an eARC.

DNF at 33%.

Despite having some of my favorite tropes, this fell flat. The main characters hate each other and are forced to live together for a reality tv show.

They had undeniable chemistry but were otherwise boring. They lacked depth and it was hard to root for either of them because they were so shallow. There was no plot outside of their centralized conflict.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐

I loved Holly James’s sophomore book, The Deja Glitch because of the fun storyline, the way Holly writes and the fun characters and Name Your Price follows in it’s footsteps and is such a fun read.

I wish all books made me laugh as much as Name Your Price while also making me feel all the feels and being unable to put it down. If I didn’t have real world responsibilities, I would’ve for sure finished this in one setting.

Olivia and Chuck agree to live with each other for one month for one million dollars, after a viral breakup, for a reality tv show which gives us the perfect recipe for tension and their exploding chemistry to blossom. The showrunners are totally all of bookstagram putting these two in situations to force them to give into their temptations. Like having there be only one bed 😈

I was hooked from the beginning so be sure to pick this one up as your next pool side/beach read.

I really enjoyed this book! The action starts right away (so does the chemistry) and it was a pretty non stop fun read. I loved both Olivia and Chuck. I thought they were really great together, but just needed to find better ways of communicating besides running from conflict and people pleasing. It’s funny, I don’t watch reality TV, but I really love reality tv rom coms! I thought that part of the story was such a hoot. I really enjoyed the side plot of Olivia’s famous parents and their decades long scandal that she discovered the truth about. That was really fun to read about. I also loved how Olivia and Chuck really knew each other and figured out how to better communicate and be there for each other. I highly recommend this one for fans of reality TV, the entertainment industry and chemistry that leaps off the page!
CW: mentions of sexual harassment, mentions of parental death

Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton for an advanced digital reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

gosh I liked this book. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Enemies to lovers only sometimes works, but the lack of pranks and the deep connection of these two characters in close proximity just made me need to follow their story.

Olivia and Chuck have been in a VERY contentious relationship. When their volatility hits it's peak with a viral video, they are asked to be on a reality show. Both are broke, but also a little reluctant to be forced into a small house for a month on camera. Tensions are high. Stakes are higher. Everything explodes in the most fun ways.

A breezy second chance romance for lovers of so-bad-it’s-good reality tv. 4*.

Thank you to Dutton and NetGalley for providing this e-arc.
