This was my first book by Holly James and I really enjoyed it! Olivia and Chuck went viral for a very public break up fight. A reality show contacted them and for a chance to win one million dollars they must live together for one month. If someone leaves, they lose the money. They also lose chunks of money if they touch each other. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts but the only problem is, they fight, A LOT. They both have their reasons for needing money so they both agree to the deal.
This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before, which I appreciate! Between the challenges the show throws in and their fire chemistry, this makes such an entertaining read. Chuck made me swoon quite a few times! The forced proximity forces them to face each other and their problems head on. Maybe they fought so much because they just misunderstood each other?
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this book. Cute, easy read!
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for this ARC! This is my honest review.

Thank to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of Name Your Price. Olivia and Chuck, exes with remarkable chemistry who cannot get along. When their very heated breakup goes viral, they’re offered a million dollars to go on Name Your Price. All they have to do to win big is live together for one month. But can they survive?
Forced proximity and second chance romances are some of my favorite tropes and they’re both done really well. This book was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it!

Enemies to lovers done in a great way that had me laughing and entertained the whole way through. A great palette cleanser book that is the perfect amount of lighthearted and cute.

I absolutely loved this book! i thought that 'Name Your Price' is one of my favorite light romance reads of 2024 thusfar. I really thought it was so well written and developed. I also thought that the characters were very easy to root for and easy to visualize. I thought the ending was also executed so good too! My only wish was that it was a tadddddd but longer. I think another 100 pages would've been perfect. That being said I would read it again in a heartbreak and recommend it to all my friends.

Thank you so much to Holly James and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the eARC to review. I loved this book! I mean who doesn't love a reality TV second chance love romance?!?! Olivia and Chuck's story is so well written. The game show reminds me a bit of Netflix's Too Hot Too Handle which is one of my favorites. I definitely recommend this to any one who love some good reality TV.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Name Your Price follows Olivia, the infamous love child of two Hollywood celebrities turned journalist, and Chuck, a B-list actor, who are always either breaking up or making up. The book opens with them having a fight on the street in front of Chuck’s apartment building which a passerby films. Producers of a reality TV show see the video, which has gone viral, and invite Olivia and Chuck to be on the show for a chance to win a million dollars. Olivia wants nothing less but the retirement home where her beloved grandmother lives is threatening eviction if she can’t keep up with the rent and Chuck wants the chance to win Olivia back.
Olivia and Chuck are well-developed characters with believable chemistry and I understood both their motivations for breaking up and why they wanted to be together. However, I struggled to get through the majority of scenes about filming the reality show. The producers of the show kept intentionally bringing up painful moments from the characters' lives and blindsiding them in interviews for the drama. While I understand that this is likely realistic and worked to move the plot forward, I found it hard to read about characters continuously being put in unpleasant situations by people who were taking advantage of them. Although I didn’t enjoy this aspect of the book, I think it shows how well-written it is that Holly James was able to make me feel deeply connected with these characters and want the best for them. By the end of the book we get to see Olivia and Chuck have both individual character development and grow as a couple. It was rewarding to see them learn to communicate and how to best support each other. While this book didn’t personally work for me, I am excited to see what else Holly James publishes in the future.

This book left me in a what’s gonna happen next stance for almost a majority of the book! This book reminds you of reality tv shows and what must really go on behind the drama. Olivia and Chuck are cute together, but seriously Olivia, you need to tone it down sometimes. Team Chuck 100%.

Olivia and Chuck have amazing chemistry in this heartfelt, rom-com style novel about a couple who has a huge breakup that breaks the internet, and then tries to live together for a month to win a million dollars. It’s exactly as entertaining as it sounds. The will they/won't they energy was strong and the switching between banter, steam, earnestness, and arguments was super entertaining. Although the lead-up and talk about their physical connection was often, there were only two scenes of intimacy, so thankfully that wasn’t the whole book. The actual plot line and character development was actually well done, especially since they both had a long way to go. I like how the relationship issues were actually talked about and not just smoothed over making the fiction romance feel more attainable. Overall this was an enjoyable quick romance, easily 4 stars.

This book grew on me the more I kept reading. Olivia and Chuck had an explosive viral break-up that led to a million dollar offer they couldn’t refuse. All they need to do is share a house for a month - throw in no touching, one bed, and 24/7 cameras, what could go wrong?

I absolutely ADORED this book. It has to be one of my top fave books I've read in a really long time. The banter was 100% and the plot sucked me right in. This was such a fun read, and the characters were so cute and lovable. Even though both characters are in the limelight, they felt very down to earth and relatable, and their love/hate for each other felt so real. I can't wait to read more from this writer.

After finding themselves the faces of a viral breakup video, Olivia and Chuck are approached by television producers to star on an episode of the game show Name Your Price. They can win a million dollars each… if they can live with each other for 30 days.
I loved the idea of this book! The forced proximity, the tension between Chuck and Olivia, it was so good! I loved the side characters too. What I really enjoyed is that while the Name Your Price episode was obviously the forefront, it wasn’t everything. We got to see everything from start to end be wrapped in a pretty bow which made it feel complete. By the end of the book, I felt like I was right there in Chuck and Olivia’s world. This was the ultimate comfort read.
Thank you to Holly James, Penguin Group Dutton, and NetGalley for the eARC!!

Unfortunately, this book was a miss for me. It felt like it should've been an alternating POV to really get the stories through both character's perspective, rather than having things just described to us by our FMC. I started the book intrigued but didn't make it very far (maybe 30%) before I was skimming.

I was lucky to read an ARC of Name Your Price, the first book I’ve read from Holly James. I loved it! There were some twists I wasn’t expecting that kept it fresh and though I knew there’d be a happy ending, it came about in a bit of a different way, which was nice! I enjoyed Holly’s writing and it was both silly and spicy. I’ll definitely read more by her! 4.5 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for the e-ARC to this book. Breakups are tough. Olivia and Chuck’s breakup was no different, but it was a little more public than either one was hoping. A video goes viral of the two of them breaking up and the “show” needs to go on. Imagine living with your ex, in a beautiful home, cameras everywhere you turn…what could go wrong? Oh and sweeten the pot- a pretty little payday if you make it a month.
I loved Olivia and Chuck’s story from beginning to end. Their banter was great, their chemistry was perfect, and their back stories throughout the story really made me keep reading! The book was well written and was a great “lighter read” type of rom-com. Highly recommend!

I DNF’d this book at about 30%. It just really didn’t grab my attention. The characters chemistry was not it for me.

3.5 stars
I love the premise of this book, exes who are agree to go on a gameshow to win a lot of money. This was a satisfying second chance romance story. While I enjoyed this book, I'm not sure it is one I would reread or recommend.
What I liked:
-Olivia and Chuck's relationship. I think their relationship was a solid point in the story. High emotions and BIG feelings happening in this book. At one time, I thought Olivia seriously hated Chuck. And while I couldn't really understand why she felt that way, I definitely felt her feelings through the pages.
-The gameshow premise. Nothing went smoothly and I love how things about it took me by surprise. There were frustrating moments and swoony moments and I loved it.
-Not everyone else was nice to Olivia and Chuck.
What I wish would have been better:
- there was too much description or paragraph after paragraph. I feel like there wasn't a lot of dialogue in this book and it didn't make the book fly like I would expect a romance book to.
- more things need flushed out. In the end, we were told of specific changes but were never showed anything. I think this made Olivia and Chuck's relationship feel a little forced.
Overall, an interesting read!
Thank you to Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Holly James shows her impressive versatility in her third novel, Name Your Price. While The Deja Glitch was soft and sweet, Name Your Price is bursting with chemistry so hot, it threatened to burn my brain while also full of emotions that pulled on my heartstrings. There is so much more to Olivia and Chuck's love story than their intense physical attraction and James masterfully peels back their layers one at a time to reveal the sweet and supportive love story at the center. All set against the glamorous and fast paced backdrop of Hollywood, Name Your Price is such a delicious treat for your summer reading and all year around!

3 Stars Name Your Price by Holly James is a goofy romance centered around some heavier familial topics. It’s the literal definition of forced proximity as the two characters are paid to stay in a house together for a reality tv show. The chemistry and banter was on point. A fun read!

This book had so much of what I love about a rom-com, forced proximity, one bed, plus it involved a reality show! This was a fun read, fans of rom-coms will definitely enjoy it.

I loved this novel that posed the question: how much money would it take for you to shack up with your ex?
Olivia and Chuck share an explosive chemistry that frequently leaves them unable to decide if they want to tear off each other's heads or their clothes. When their very passionate public breakup goes viral, they're approached by reality TV execs who make them an offer they can't refuse: live in a house together for a month. If they survive, they'll win one million dollars.
Between the hilarious hijinks and sizzling chemistry, this was such an entertaining read from start to finish! I also adored Olivia's complicated backstory, which added so much depth to her character. And of course, it didn't hurt that Chuck was an absolute smokeshow Can't recommend this enough!
