My Second book by Holly James, and I enjoyed it!! I found some parts a bit slow and fluffy, but overall enjoyed the story and found myself think what I would do if in the same situation! I don't think I would have survived in a house with my ex even for a million dollars!
Holly James provided us with further information regarding the course of their lives following the "challenge" and the outcomes that affected them both. This book had 2 of my favorite tropes - forced proximity and second-chance relationships. And I thought both are done incredibly well in this book. Anyone who like such tropes or decent reality TV should absolutely check this out.

I love Holly James, and for some reason, I love books about reality television. And, this book checked several boxes for me. It's a fun rom com!

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me.

Cute rom-com book, but the story needed more. Love the cover and title! Hoping to read more from this author in the future.

I think that this was an amazing plot idea! Reading this book reminded me a lot of those reality dating tv shows (my guilty pleasure) and I was sucked in immediately. I loved the forced proximity as it kept things very interesting. I was hoping for it to have a little more drama similar to the reality tv shows, but that is really my only critique! It was fun, the romance was great, the plot was there, Olivia and Chuck had great chemistry, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This was a fun fast paced enemies to lovers/ second chance romance. This story follows Olivia and Chuck who’s recent viral breakup caused them to be recruited by a reality tv show. Their challenge live together for 1 month without leaving or touching one another. Olivia desperate for the money to pay for her grandmas care Olivia agrees. I love reality tv and this book delivered I loved the fun challenges they had Olivia and Chuck completing. The pacing of this book was fast and the writing entertaining. This was my first book by this author but it was so fun can’t wait to read more. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

I didn't feel the premise of this book was going to hold my attention. I told myself I'd give it 100 pages. Spoiler Alert: I loved this book! It was funny, endearing, and told perfectl

I would score this a 3/5

If you like: Enemies to lovers, "second chance", forced proximity, and one bed you would like this.

I thought this book was a cute read, but it wasn't a wow for me. The whole premise of the book is being on a reality tv show after a couple broke up and seeing all the drama and to get juicy stories about their personal life everyone wanted to know. They both would of won $1 million dollars if they could last and not break any of the rules. I just thought Olivia and Chuck would of lasted more than 5-6 days out of a whole month. It just seemed rushed to me and they both figured out each others flaws in those couple of days from being stuck together in a house and then lived happily ever after, just didn't sound realistic. Character development happened real fast and wasn't that much in depth. It was just an okay read for me. It had so much potential, but just fell flat. I did like the challenges where they had to work together to get different areas of the house unlocked and the cute do you know me questions. Just wanted more.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the early ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

Name Your Price was one of the most fun books I read this year and I can't believe it was my first time reading something by Holly James, but she's definitely become an autobuy author for me now. It really speaks to her talent when I started off hating Chuck and ended up loving him after finishing the book.

A typical reality show romcom where the tender moments hit hard and the wild ones thrive.

I sincerely enjoyed this book far more than I expected. I found myself wanting to know what was gonna happen next, however there were moments I wanted the story to get to the point and move on.

Forced proximity and only one bed, say less. Name Your Price is laugh-out-loud funny. A great summer read with hilarious banter. Can't wait to read more from Holly James.

Thanks to Dutton and NetGalley for the e-ARC.

I enjoyed this book! It was a cute read during the summer but I wasn’t obsessed with it. I would love to read additional books from this author because I enjoyed the story still and I thought the writing was really well done
!

I'm the minority in not loving this one. I didn't find the characters likeable and the horrible relationships they had were tough to handle. Not for me.

Name Your Price is a fun and flirty read that will appeal to fans of reality TV and second-chance romances. With its engaging characters, witty banter, and heartwarming story, it's the perfect escape for a cozy afternoon.
Highly recommended for readers who enjoy lighthearted rom-coms with a touch of drama and a lot of heart.

This was such an easy one to read. It's bingeable. But the characters were not very likeable to me initially. Chuck was just really not charming. He's too high maintenance and is such a snob. The whole dynamic between the couple is just EXPLOSIVE. They have high tension all the time. They fight hard, they f-.... make up hard. It was very tiresome and toxic. Until they were forced to live together. It's like a Big Brother situation. They can't run away from their problems with each other and were forced to actually deal with them and fix stuff between them. Their explosive energy and chemistry that broke them up initially morphed into something survivable and then into something actually good. They learned to be kind to each other. I like that this seem realistic. Two broken people, not knowing how to fight, until they have to. The plot tied up nicely. The writing style was okay and it gave off that easy-read vibe. I couldn't say that it gives off "light read" vibe cuz it ain't light. It stressed me out reading how these characters bicker. 🙃

Forced proximity fans... here you go. This is for you.

Thank you @netgalley and Dutton Books for a gifted e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

If you’re into reality TV drama, sizzling chemistry, and couples who can’t stop bickering or making eyes at each other, this book is for you! After Olivia and rising actor Chuck’s messy breakup goes viral, they get a once-in-a-lifetime offer: star on “Name Your Price”, a reality show where they have to live together for a month and keep their hands to themselves to win a million dollars. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. Their chemistry is electric, but their tempers are just as fiery. Oh, and every time they touch, money disappears. Talk about high stakes!

Both Olivia and Chuck are deeply flawed but impossible not to root for. They clearly have unresolved issues (and zero self-control around each other), which makes the whole setup deliciously chaotic. The reality show premise is a blast, packed with funny challenges, forced proximity, and enough banter to keep you grinning. Chuck, by the way, might just make you swoon a little—or a lot.

The show forces them to confront their problems head-on, leading to explosive arguments that feel as intense as their off-the-charts chemistry. Maybe their constant fighting was just a big misunderstanding? Maybe not. Either way, watching them navigate love, lust, and ridiculous reality TV rules is pure fun.

If you’re craving a celebrity rom-com with humor, heart, and just the right mix of light and heavy moments, this one is a must-read. Highly recommend!

Thank you Penguin Group and NetGalley for the #gifted ebook ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was everything I wanted and more. The chemistry between Olivia and Chuck was done so well, I'm obsessed with them. The plot was so interesting too, it wasn't like anything I've ever read before.

Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton for the eARC! Forced Proximity is one of my favorite romance tropes and this takes that to the extreme with an incredibly exciting premise. I loved the idea and was excited to see how it was executed. While the premise was promise and the book had some great moments, it was hard for me to overlook some of the character choices. Ultimately sweet and fun, this was an interesting and ambitious romcom!

This book sounded so intriguing to me because I love books that are set on reality tv shows. The premise sounded great, however it wasn’t executed well at all.
Olivia Martin never wanted to be famous while that’s exactly what her on again off again boyfriend, Chuck Walsh, wants. Both of them are broke and Chuck is on Hollywood’s “Hard to Work With” list. When a video of their latest breakup goes viral and they are approached by the producer of Name Your Price, Chuck jumps at the opportunity. All they have to do is survive living together for an entire month. If they can do it they’ll both win a million dollars. Olivia needs the money, but is it worth all the stress and aggravation?
I really wanted to like this, but I just didn’t. I felt like the set up for the plot was over the top, the middle dragged along, and the end cleaned up far too nicely. In addition to that, I forgot myself rolling my eyes and sighing annoyingly more times than any book should cause.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for an advanced copy of this. Name Your Price hit the shelves on July 30th.

This is a fun eom xom. This is exactly what I was looking for a true treat to read. Thank you for the opportunity to read and and review
