Toni Logan delivers a delightful and fresh take on the classic opposites-attract romance in Hollywood Hearts, a rom-com that pairs an unlikely duo: a paparazza and a famous actress. In a world where these two professions typically clash, Logan masterfully crafts a compelling love story filled with sizzling chemistry, witty banter, and unexpected emotional depth.

The novel follows Erin, a dedicated paparazza who thrives on capturing Hollywood’s most elusive shots, and the glamorous yet guarded actress she’s been pursuing. When circumstances force them into closer proximity, the tension between them shifts from professional rivalry to undeniable attraction. Logan does an excellent job of balancing the enemies-to-lovers dynamic with genuine character development, making their eventual romance feel both earned and heartfelt.

One of the novel’s standout elements is its strong character work. Erin is not simply a stereotypical intrusive photographer, but a well-rounded protagonist with motivations that make her career choice understandable. The actress, in turn, is more than just a celebrity—she’s layered, vulnerable, and struggling with the pressures of fame. Their interactions are filled with electric chemistry, and Logan’s writing ensures that each moment, from the snarky exchanges to the tender confessions, feels authentic.

Beyond the romance, Hollywood Hearts also explores themes of privacy, trust, and the cost of celebrity life. Logan weaves these elements seamlessly into the plot, adding depth without taking away from the story’s lighthearted, feel-good nature.

For fans of rom-coms that bring something fresh to the genre, Hollywood Hearts is a must-read. It’s a well-paced, charming novel with just the right blend of humor, heart, and Hollywood glamour. Toni Logan proves that even the most unlikely love stories can be the most satisfying ones.

McKenzie is a famous actress and isn’t fond of the paparazzi because they use her status to make money off her. She meets Rylee and there’s an instant connection that turn into something more but when she learn who Rylee is she has to reconcile her feelings for the paparazzi while Rylee starts to wonder if this something she wants to continue doing. This was a bit instant love story because they interact with each other but it’s didn’t feel like they actual did but overall a good enjoy both characters the chemistry was there.


I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Rylee and MacKenzie meet and have a one night stand. Only it isn't. Rylee is a papparazzo and Mackenzie an actress. Rylee omits to tell Mac this is what she is so when Mac finds out things go downhill and they break up. This is a story about their second chance.
I quite like Toni Logan's books. This was quote a good read. I enjoyed it.

This is an interesting twist on a celebrity/Hollywood romance. The story started out with some insta-attraction, then slowed way, way down to the point where I was wondering how the plot arc could possibly wrap up in the remaining time my kindle said was left. The latter part of the book moved significantly faster, and I would have liked to see more time spent in that section. This was overall an enjoyable read and I’d recommend it to someone looking for a light celebrity romance.

Enemies to lovers, this story follows McKenzie, a Hollywood actress, who unknowingly falls for paparazzo Rylee. McKenzie is forced to deal with her negative feelings about her past of being used for her status, and Rylee begins to question if her career is really what she wants to continue persuing.

I was excited to pick this up because the idea of an a tress dating a paparazzo seemed like it could be entertaining. I am also all for the representation for LGBTQA community. The underlying idea and story is good. Good side characters. Decent development of who the characters are as a person.

However, what brings my rating down, is the problem of pacing. In my opinion, the romance and some of the timeline in general felt rushed. All of a sudden it would be weeks later and it felt odd and out of place. We also have nearly no interaction between the love interests for nearly half the book and then it jumps to date, to fall out, to the ending. I felt left wanting more. Like the relationship could have been shown more on the page. Where was the tension and build up?

Overall, I enjoyed the writing style and underlying story. Just wished for more time spent with tension for the characters. I would read another of her books.

If looking for a quick somewhat romantic read, go for this story!

This was cute and funny but honestly I was ecpecting more. The romance fells a little bit flat and it’s too much instant love (which I don’t like vey much, unfortunately). However, it was very interesting learning so much about the paparazzi job!

There is something about Hollywood that engages. Maybe it is the illusion (what is projected) or the desire to see the real person (doing everyday things). Whichever it is, this story provides a perspective that makes you think about the life of a paparazzi. Rylee Callison is good at what she does and is focused on making money to protect and provide for her family. McKenzie Gomann, actress with a negative view toward paparazzi because of what happened to her when she was dealing with a family issue. When the two meet, there is an instant connection. Of course, Rylee knows what McKenzie does for a living and there is confusion about Rylee's employment.

As the story unfolds, it is engaging at times and drags in some places. I would have liked more detail about the challenges of an actress dating a paparazzo. Also, it would have been good to have more comments/dialogues from Rylee and McKenzie's friends. In general, a good read.

I normally love books that feature Hollywood actresses, unfortunately this book was an exception. Lots of details about being an actress and paparazzo, but way little about the romance. I really do not like Insta love stories and this was a good example of that and on top of that I did not like the writing style. The book could have been so much better if more focus on the romance and interactions with friends and family, now all is unfortunately way to superficial.

An amazing enemies-to-lovers romance. If you're looking for a fun romance. This is it.

Loved the caracters. Definitely worth adding to your TBR.

This is my second book by this author and this one fell short. Its an enemies-to-lovers romance about a fairly famous actress, McKenzie, who unknowingly falls for a paparazzo, Rylee. It was interesting to see, but this was rushed and not at all what I thought it would be.

It was a decent book, but the pacing fell short and Rylee and McKenzie got together quickly after basically no interaction. It could have been fleshed out way more and explored the dynamic of an actress dating a paparazzo. This was a good try, but didn't do it for me. I don't really have much to say that is good, so I'll leave it here.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I can't in good conscious rate it below a three.

Toni Logan is a new author to me. I appreciated her writing style, it was an easy read.
My major contention with the book is there is a limited romance story. We start off with great chemistry with both times the MC's meet. The second progresses a little farther than the first. Then the MC's have a single date, sex, fight, and break up until they reconcile half way through the last chapter. Next up, the epilogue is 18 months later.
Each MC has more dialogue with their friends and other characters in the book than with each other.
Even with my thoughts above, I am willing to give Logan another chance. I enjoyed her writing style.

I loved this story. I laughed out loud several times. The MC’s were well developed and the plot was interesting. There was a bit of angst, and some nice love scenes. Overall, a nice read. I’m sure I will be reading more of this author’s work. Well done.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I very much enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the characters were well developed. I hope to read more from this author in the future.

“Hollywood Hearts” by Toni Logan is an enemies-to-lovers romance about a fairly famous actress, McKenzie, who unknowingly falls for a paparazzo, Rylee. I was skeptical about this setup as I, like McKenzie, have negative feelings for paparazzi. I wasn’t sure how Rylee could be depicted as a good person and paparazzi at the same time. And how the issue of celebrity and paparazzi could be resolved.

I thought the book was a cute romance and had some interesting side characters as well. My main issue was the pacing. Over halfway through the book Rylee and McKenzie had barely interacted. So when they did finally get together, their feelings felt rushed and underrepresented in the pages. I wish the book had spent more time on them together and explored more of the conflict that could arise from a celebrity dating a paparazzi.

Overall, “Hollywood Hearts” has an interesting premise but did feel like it could be fleshed out more thoroughly. I did enjoy the read and had a good time with it. If you’re a fan of celebrity romances, I would recommend checking this out.
