Hollywood Royalty #1
Hollywood Playboy
Behind the "lights, camera, action" of Hollywood lies a world of deception, love, and seduction.
Are you ready for Hollywood Royalty?
Jessica
An entertainment journalist was the last thing I thought I would be doing.
I thought once I got my degree, I would be reporting on stories that made a difference, but now all I do is report on who broke up with who and who is dating who.
I was over it.
Then I got my next assignment.
He’s Hollywood’s bad boy.
He works hard, and he plays even harder.
He’s rude, he’s condescending, and he’s made it known he doesn’t want me on the tour.
With one month on the road with him, two things might happen
One, I may never work in this industry again.
Two, I may just be like everyone else and fall for Hollywood’s Playboy.

Hollywood Playboy is my first book by Natasha Madison, but I’m looking forward to reading more! Especially from this series.
I got excited when I listened to the first few chapters of this book. I love me a good enemies to lovers story! Jessica is an entertainment journalist and Tyler is a Hollywood star. Jessica reports the story first, and Tyler always seems to block her. It’s safe to say they don’t get along at all…
When Tyler’s new movie tour is a 30 day press tour, Jessica doesn’t want to go, even though it’s an amazing opportunity. And Tyler sure doesn’t want her there. But they both get overruled and end up together. With hate and banter, there is always a spark. The two have such chemistry and when their hate starts turning into attraction and friendship, neither of them knows what to think.
I loved both of the main characters in this book. Tyler is very down to earth for being such a big star. I loved his relationship with his parents, how he had a good heart, and tried to see the best in people. Jessica was great, too. Her life wasn’t exactly how she wanted it to be but she made the best of it and did her best to be successful. She’s determined and strong.
Their relationship was fun, sweet, sexy, and had the best build up. I was anxious to see how things would turn out between them, and by the end I was all happy and swoony. Tyler is the best!
I listened to the audio book of this story and it was narrated by one of my favorite duos, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. They have so much chemistry and are both top notch narrators. They did a great job bringing Jessica and Tyler to life.
If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers story that is steamy, sweet, and highly entertaining, pick this one up!!

GAH!! Hollywood Playboy has officially blindsided me!! This five star read came of nowhere as I was expecting a nice, light, easy read and was completely blown away by the emotional depth, uber sexy characters and heart-stopping angst! This story was so damn delicious!! I read it in one sitting and was so addicted I could not put it down. The emotions it evoked were sooo profound. I laughed, cried, swooned and raged. I loved their chemistry and banter and was all about Tyler and Jessica's story. This swoony enemies to lovers romance was EVERYTHING!!
Without giving away any spoilers, Jessica Hawthorn and Tyler Beckett have an acrimonious relationship. When Jessica, a renowned Entertainment Journalist is chosen as one of a select number of reporters to accompany Hollywood heartthrob, Tyler, on a thirty day press tour, she never would have expected how up close and personal she would get with this badboy. But as the nights go long and boundaries get crossed she realizes how easy it is to love this Hollywood Playboy.
I FLOVED this story! It was emotional and intense and so sexy! Jessica was sassy and strong and gave as good as she got. She was the perfect match for Tyler. He was an alpha with a heart of gold and it was absolutely amazing seeing them look past their initial judgments about one another! I can't wait for Kellie and Brian's book! Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula

How much do you love it when a book basically gobsmacks you, takes you by complete surprise as to just how much you loved it?
That’s me with my immense enjoyment of Hollywood Playboy. Honestly, I started reading around midnight, just wanting to start and maybe read two to three chapters. Well, that didn’t happen. Nope. I read the whole damn book! Much to the dismay of my tired eyes and body! Nothing but a little sleep deprivation, right?
I couldn’t read Tyler and Jessica’s story fast enough. The inner workings of Hollywood and the behind the scenes craziness that goes along with movie promotions, celebrity gossip and the difficulties in having a “real” relationship amidst all the fakeness that surrounds them kept me fully engaged.
I loved the romance that blossomed between Tyler and Jessica. I loved the strength in character that they both had—how tightly they held their feelings for each other. I loved Tyler and his immense need for privacy and his unwillingness to share his whole life with the public—especially when it came to who he loved. And Jessica, lord, I adored her and her smart and sassy professionalism.
And I absolutely adored Tyler and Jessica together. Together they made an amazing couple—even after a really acrimonious beginning, love found a way. And isn’t that just the perfect Hollywood ending. ~ Missy, 5 stars

Holy cats, y'all - I was just completely swept away by Hollywood's playboy!
Seriously, this enemies-to-lovers (light on the enemies, which is exactly the way I like it) completely blew me away. I was sucked in immediately by the sparks flying off of Tyler and Jessica, even as they spent their time pushing each other away. Their chemistry was apparent immediately, and I was held captive, enchanted by the way their story unfolded and things turned from hostile to heated.
I am in love with desperate love and that's exactly what I found in Jessica and Tyler's story. Obviously it doesn't start that way, but once their antagonism turns heats to undeniable attraction, the desperation between these two and their feelings towards each other completely hooked me. This story has everything: fantastic, multi-dimensional characters, smart banter, and enough emotion to take my heart on some kind of wild ride ending at supreme swoony satisfaction.
The narration here is flawless. I am always a little taken aback at first when the narrators trade off within chapters, but it was an easy auditory adjustment and the voices were perfect for these characters, enhancing the story rather than distracting from it.
All in all? This was an easy five star audio experience. I loved every single moment I got to spend with Tyler and Jessica and - while my heart was so happy with their beautifully HEA - I was sad to let these characters go. This was my first Natasha Madison experience, but I will absolutely be back for more! ~ Shelly, 5 Stars

Eu realmente gostei dos personagens principais, da interação dos dois e de como o relacionamento foi se desenrolando até certo ponto...
Creio que minha nota seria mais alta se não fosse pelo excesso de drama –desnecessário ao meu ver– inserido na trama, o que tornou a história um pouco irritante e previsível pra mim.
Sem mencionar que eu achei alguns capítulos bem repetitivos, onde o mesmo acontecimento foi narrado em perspectiva diferente e isso definitivamente atrapalhou no ritmo e fluidez da leitura e até mesmo da história.

Each time I read this author, I fall more in love!! This book, gawhhhh, I couldn't wait to see how Tyler & Jessica worked through this crazy journey from hate to passion. It was simply amazing to read their challenges from being a famous actor and the most popular celebrity journalist in Hollywood to being the IT couple.
I hated Tyler at times, then he had me swooning in the next chapter. He's fricken sexy, he is passionate, he is caring, and when his hearts in, he's fully in on making things work. Jessica, she's strong, she's completely against finding love until she opens her eyes to what she's been fighting for years and literally right in front of her. Tyler's new movie is coming out and he's doing a worldwide press junket, where he, along with his team and 10 personally selected reporters will fly around the world and attend the premieres of his movies in different locations. Tyler hates Jessica, and Jessica hates Tyler, so neither one of them are happy about this situation and each personally try to get out of it. Can they overcome the dislike for each other, can they get on 'like' terms, or can they cross the line that will send them into a whole other world filled with so much more??
Well done, Mrs. Madison!! I can not wait for the next book!!!

The H has a female secretary, who I knew from the moment she came in the book that she is an EVIL BITCH OW. The H also bear her a little too much. She was almost running his life and was like a shadow to him. She keeps creating rift between the H and h. Then she keeps insulting the h and his reactions were dumb. He should have fired her on the spot. Also there are other ows too who try to get the H’s attention. This book feels like a waste of my time. I ain’t have no time for bullshit ow drama.
If you like ow dramas then plz read this book. It’s a feast for you.
The main MCs chemistry is not bad. The hate to love was good but nothing new. The h was better than the H. For me the H is coward (for me).
I don’t know why the hell I decided to read a book about a movie star H. I so hate them. They work with other females and too much of time spend with other women. So not my type. Just my personal preference. Others might like this book.

Title: Hollywood Playboy ( Hollywood Royalty #1)
Author: Natasha Madison
Publication Date: January 22, 2019
This is my second book I've read written by this author. I didn't really enjoy the first one (Faux Pas) but THIS....THIS I enjoyed.
It's almost night and day compared to Faux Pas.
Hollywood Playboy is absolutely Delicious!
You know what? sometimes, you just want to read a book where the characters can't stand each other but because we know it's a romance book, you go all " I can feel the chemistry! I know you guys are attracted to each other...You just don't realise it." hahaha
Hollywood Playboy is exactly that book!
An enemies to lovers book that takes you on a whirlwind adventure of intense chemistry, wanderlust desires. And honestly speaking, the banters between these two characters makes you smile like a Cheshire cat hehehe
Hollywood Playboy is a absolute joy and I loved reading every moment of it!
I would highly recommend this book for your upcoming weekend read.

“I pick her. I choose her every second of every fucking day.”
4.5 chemistry-filled, swoontastic stars!
Holy freaking swoon, I love this book! A celebrity enemies-to-lovers romance with all the chemistry, all the hotness, all the feels, and a sexy, emotional and super-romantic love story.
Jessica is an entertainment reporter, and she’s the best in the business. It’s definitely not where she saw her career going, but she took the job as a temporary thing and years later she has the best contacts, the best scoops, and a reputation as a shark. That doesn’t mean she likes it though. And things get worse when she gets her next assignment – she has been invited on a 30 day worldwide press tour with Hollywood’s golden playboy, actor Tyler Beckett.
Tyler’s latest movie is expected to be his biggest yet, but the last thing he wants is a 30 day press tour with ten entertainment reporters all up in his business. Especially when one of those reporters is ruthless Jessica Hawthorn. She’s reported on him before, of course, and he knows from experience that her stories can hurt, and he wants nothing to do with her. But she’s the best, so she’s on the tour and he doesn’t have a choice.
And from the first moment, sparks fly. Neither of them hold back their feelings about being forced together for 30 long days, and it’s all on!
The animosity is real, and though there is an attraction, they’re both annoyed that they feel it, and it takes a while for things to change, but as they begin to spend real time together, a tentative friendship forms which naturally, easily and unexpectedly turns into more, and I was glued to my kindle as it all unfolded!
Squeeeee! This is such an exciting romance. The chemistry is intense, and I could feel every moment of the build-up, so that when the big moment actually comes, it’s a squeal-inducing feeling of epicness that doesn’t really let up for the rest of the book. It’s pure and honest, the sexual tension is awesome, the feels are intense, and I was right there with them through every stage of their relationship. They are keeping things quiet from the rest of the group, and the secretive flirtation adds a really fun element, and I swooned and fanned myself at all of the romance and the utterly delicious steaminess.
And just sayin… Tyler Beckett now owns my heart *dreamy sigh*. He’s sweet, fun, and so freaking sexy, and he handles his job and his celebrity brilliantly! And Jessica is a great heroine – she’s strong, smart and very relatable, and I just love them together!
But their dreamy bliss has its challenges. Between Jessica’s job and Tyler’s celebrity, they have a lot they need to deal with and it’s not always an easy ride. But it is an incredibly emotional and swoony one, and my heart was pounding and I was madly flipping pages as it all played out.
The journey around the world provides a wonderful backdrop for the love story to unfold, with lots of sweet moments for the two of them in the middle of all of the madness, and wow, I loved it. There is some drama, but it works well to enhance the story, and though it doesn’t come as a surprise, I still enjoyed watching it all unfold.
There’s a fun tie in to Faux Pas and a glimpse of the couple in the next book of the series, which will be a standalone, and I’m really excited to get my hands on that one!
I loved this book. A genuinely enjoyable read that is swoony, sexy and beautifully emotional, and another fantastic read from Natasha Madison!
4.5 stars!

“It’s pretty safe to say you know that I don’t want you here,” he says, folding his arms over his chest and puffing it out more.
“It’s safe to say I don’t want to be here any more than you want me here.” I lean in to him, trying not to hiss. “The last thing I thought I would ever do was be stuck with you for thirty seconds, much less thirty gruelling days.”
The animosity is real, and though there is an attraction, they’re both annoyed that they feel it, and it takes a while for things to change, but as they begin to spend real time together, a tentative friendship forms which naturally, easily and unexpectedly turns into more, and I was glued to my kindle as it all unfolded!
“All day.” My lips kiss her lightly, my heart beating, my chest heaving. “All week. Scratch that, for two weeks I’ve wanted you more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.”
Squeeeee! This is such an exciting romance. The chemistry is intense, and I could feel every moment of the build-up, so that when the big moment actually comes, it’s a squeal-inducing feeling of epicness that doesn’t really let up for the rest of the book.

They are keeping things quiet from the rest of the group, and the secretive flirtation adds a really fun element, and I swooned and fanned myself at all of the romance and the utterly delicious steaminess.
I’m lost in everything that she gives me, lost in her scent, her touch, just her.

Let's be real right now, everyone that knows me, knows that Natasha Madison is one of my absolute favorite authors of all time. Every book she writes, is pretty much my most anticipated books of all time. So as you can imagine, I have been dying for Hollywood Playboy, and let me tell you, it more than measured up to my expectations. This Dual Pov is a flippin' epic masterpiece. As always, Natasha's writing lured me in, and trapped me with the crazy banter, one-liners, and the swooniest s*** I have ever read. I also should mention, the chemistry and the heat in this book, it was off the charts, I was even blushing for a moment, Hollywood Playboy is a sweet and charming book, with a plot that does not drag out for God knows how long, and it flows at the perfect pace.
Jessica Hawthorn is the biggest entertainment journalist out there. She has a backbone that is made of steel, and she gives better than she gets. She isn't afraid to stand up for herself and go toe to toe with anyone for making her feel less than. Along the a backbone made of steel, she is also quite hilarious and is very easy going, just don't bring politics up around her lol.
Tyler Beckett is Hollywood's playboy. Everyone wants a piece of him, weather it's on the big screen or in person. Being in the business for over 12 years, he knows who he can and cannot trust. Just because he is some big celebrity doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy the small things in life, he enjoys normalcy as much as everyone else.
When Jessica's next assignment takes her on a tour with the Hollywood Playboy, tension is immediately in the air, but deciding to be adults, a truths is called and slow progression is made towards anything but enemies. But as one day turns to two, and two turns into three, the progression takes on a role that both do not see coming.
If I haven't made my point clear yet, I will make it now. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK, and devoured it in one sitting, even though I wanted Hollywood Playboy to last forever. So if my opinion means anything is should be this, READ THIS BOOK because this author writes books like no other, and she cast her magical spell on you and you will love her writing as much as I do.

5+ STARS!
Hollywood Playboy was everything I have come to expect from Natasha Madison, plus SO. MUCH. MORE!
I'm completely blown away by Tyler and Jessica's story!
Flawless perfection from beginning to end.
A romance worth fighting for!
If the next two books are anything like Hollywood Playboy, we are all in for a spectacular treat!!
I don't know how she freaking does it! It never fails to amaze me! Every time I pick up a novel written by Natasha Madison I get wrapped up in a journey that is so unlike anything I've ever read or been on. Since the very beginning I have been a fan of Natasha Madison's. She has a way of making me feel every single emotion, sometimes in large doses other times in small doses.
I'm completely blown away!
Hollywood Playboy is the first book in Natasha Madison's brand new Hollywood Royalty series. I have to say if the next two books are anything like Hollywood Playboy, we are all in for a spectacular treat!!
This story is based on Hollywood's very own bad boy, Tyler Beckett, and a renowned journalist, Jessica Hawthorne, who is out to uncover the true story of who Tyler Beckett really is.
From the very start I was intrigued by Jessica and Tyler's relationship. I loved the endless banter! It made for some hilarious moments! I also loved the fact that there was more to Tyler than the average hollywood joe. He was a good man with an unwarranted reputation. I also loved witnessing 'getting to know the real Tyler' through a journalists point of view. Jessica thought she knew everything about Hollywood's playboy, she's soon to discover she knew nothing about Tyler Beckett.
I cannot wait to continue on with this series!!!!

I ll give it 3.75 stars cause, as any other book by Natasha Madison, had enough drive to keep me immeresed and reading it in one gasp...
But that's her writing style, a tested formula with the right ingerdients (enemies to lovers, usually; pent up animosity with charged chemistry, then it bursts into sexual flames of lust and pleasure, then you have a ploy with drama and angst, and after groveling you get HEA)
And even when the formula is right, almost perfect, there's just smth missing, smth that you can't quite pin point so you'd know how to improve it the next time, and that's this book for ya...or well, for me
But nevertheless, it's an entertainment that gets you hooked and makes your afternoon a too fast moment to pass😉

This was an ok enemies to lovers book.
The damn descriptions of everyone’s clothing down to their belts and shoes freaking annoyed the hell out of me. I guess it was in there because it was a Hollywood book? Jeez I almost stopped reading because it was really bad.
In the end it was a defiant no brainer who the bad guy/women was. lol

I absolutely loved the promotion for this book and was reeled right in. I love books about Hollywood romances and actors in general. The glam life calls to me. Hahahahaha The enemies to lovers trope along with the storyline worked really well.
Jessica and Tyler loathed each other. The hate was so real, but fortunately the attraction between them was just as real. He’s the biggest actor in Hollywood and she’s a reputable reporter. The forbidden aspect of the relationship was a big turn on.
Here’s what I loved:
Tyler is so swoony!! Regardless of his status, he’s down to earth, sweet, and well grounded.
Jessica is an independent, feisty, and strong woman. She stands up for herself and doesn’t take crap from anyone. She’s a wonderful female lead.
Their chemistry is the best.
I loved several of the secondary characters. His parents and her friends are fabulous.
The love story is compelling and gave me all the feels.
Overall, a very entertaining read that’s sure to please fans of this trope.

Twisted some arms to get this one early and I'm SO glad I did! I really enjoyed this one and loved how the heroine could give as good as she got! I loved the transition that happened from enemies to lovers. It was perfectly paced and watching them see each other in a different light so enjoyable. This is a fun, fast read you'll whip through enjoying every minute! Champagne waterfalls for everyone! ;)

I loved this book. The animosity between these 2 at the start made their relationship changing so satisfying. Tyler was perfect and Jessica was the perfect woman for him (since she didn't care who he was...she called him on his crap).

“I kiss her with everything I have to give. I kiss her knowing this kiss will change everything. I kiss her knowing this first kiss beats out every kiss I’ve ever had. The need, the want, and the wait have all led to this moment, and I would imprint on this memory forever.”
“How can I let you be when I can’t breathe without you? How can I let you be when half of my soul is missing when I’m not near you? Tell me how, Jessica, and I’ll leave you and never come back.”
Hollywood Playboy was the absolute best book to spend my day getting lost in. From enemies to lovers to an unforgettable love story, Hollywood Playboy hits all the marks and will keep you begging for more.
From the moment I dove into Hollywood Playboy, I just knew this book was going to be a fun ride. I mean, from the moment you are introduced to Jessica and Tyler, their disdain for one another is completely palpable. You’re left wondering why the heck these two hate each other so much and wondering where all this delicious tension will lead. You see, Jessica is amazing at her job. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions and isn’t afraid to run those intriguing celebrity stories. But, when it comes to Tyler, all bets are off. He’s Hollywood’s playboy and a total jerk. She doesn’t like him and he doesn’t like her. But, when Jessica’s next assignment finds herself and 9 other journalists on the road with Tyler, her sanity will be put to the test…..Can Jessica and Tyler find a way to get along or will they both end up ruining their careers???
Hollywood Playboy had me hooked from beginning to end. Jessica and Tyler’s story was incredibly well written. The story-line so real and raw. You could tell that a lot of research went into the story. I personally felt every emotion right alongside the characters. I felt like I was right there with them on the red carpet or sitting with them in the rooms during their interviews. Jessica and Tyler’s story played out like a movie I couldn’t help but watch. I couldn’t help but fall in love with these two as I desperately hung on each word, waiting to see how their story would play out.
Hollywood Playboy has totally blown me away. I loved characters and their story. I enjoyed this author’s take on a celebrity/enemies to lovers romance. I loved the passion and chemistry between Tyler and Jessica. I loved their push and pull. I even loved their initial disdain for one another. I loved the angst and the drama. I loved all the real and honest moments that kept me glued to the pages. This story was not only refreshing, but kept me on my toes in the best possible way.
Hollywood Playboy is a fantastic and I mean fantastic read. It gave me all the feels and left me with the biggest smile on my face. Hollywood Playboy kicks off the Hollywood Royalty Series in the best possible way and I can not wait to read more.

I've had a couple of days to digest and get my thoughts together to spill the beans on Tyler & Jessica! Yet I feel as though my review will do no justice as to how awesome this book is and what an amazing job Natasha Madison did with their story.
Tyler's outward appearance towards the paparazzi was cold, distant and business only. And because Jessica was almost always accurate in the stories that involved Tyler he couldn't stand her. How was he going to survive a whole month with her?? Jessica wanted to be on that tour as much as Tyler wanted her to be as well.... NOT!!
As I got lost in Natasha's beautiful words it helped me to see the true Tyler and fall deeper in love with him. And the moments that he and Jessica shared when no one was around were just unbelievably beautiful. But what had me loving Tyler more where his alpha moments and hot damn, they had me panting!! 🔥🔥🔥
“F@ck being your friend.” I charge her, her eyes widening when she realizes I’m coming for her, and her arms fall by her sides. My mouth crashes down on hers before I can talk myself out of it."
Everyone needs click their story and be prepared to laugh, snort, hate, scream and love Tyler and Jessica. Thank you Natasha for sharing your beautiful words and treasures with us and allowing to get lost in them. I will be anxiously awaiting more treasures from you ❤💜 Kara~5 Hot Stars

The writing in this book annoyed the hell out of me. DNF at like 60%-I don't remember after I put it down a few hours ago and just don't want to pick it up again.
The characters: Jessica was supposed to be this business focused, headstrong and smart character, yet she just come off as defiant with a permanent holier-than-thou attitude. Seriously-her attitude sucked. Her nose was so far in the air, she couldn't even see where she was going-and that's not even an exaggeration...she literally kept running into Tyler b/c she wasn't looking where she was going. Not once in this story was I rooting for her. Tyler seemed to have potential-his back story with his parents was nice and he seemed like a genuinely good guy who deserved exactly no woman described in this book.
The plot: A little far fetched...I don't think I have every heard of a movie actor doing a promotion trip with the press? Much less walking the carpet with him? I didn't understand that part...why would they walk the carpet? What was their purpose on this trip other than make it so him and Jessica had to be forced together? Did I miss something in my skimming (probably)?
The writing: OY VEY-why was every single article of clothing described down to the fabric blend on these characters for EVERY OUTING. Why were name brands thrown out like candy on Halloween? It did not aid anything in this story and Jessica throwing out a nick name for her bag-'Louie'- just made her even more insufferable. Besides that, every single mundane action these characters took were described in painstakingly detail - every step they took, every bite of food, every sip of their drink was described. IT'S SO BORING.
TL;DR: No thank you.

I really like a true enemies to lovers story. Where there has been real issues in the past not just a little dislike or a past misunderstanding. This book fits that scenario.
Jessica Hawthorne is an entertainment journalist. She always seems to get the juicy gossip and report it first except for when it comes to one of Hollywood’s most famous actors, Tyler Beckett. He is known for his action movies and for being a playboy but he always seems to block the scoop that Jessica has on him.
When Tyler’s newest movie release is setting out on a 30 day press junket to promote it, a small specially chosen group of the media will be along the press tour. Even though Tyler doesn’t want Jessica along nor does she want to go with them, she is known as the best in her field and the powers that be are insisting she be there.
Both of these characters are very likable. Even though Tyler is such a big star he does seem to be a normal guy when not thrust into the public’s eye. Jessica is funny, strong, sassy and a really strong character that doesn’t let anyone walk all over her.
I really enjoyed their relationship journey. It moved organically and didn’t seemed forced at all.
There are some great lines towards the end of this book that I didn’t highlight to share since it would give too much away but trust me when I say that Tyler is super dreamy!

Love. Love. Love!! I flew through this book; reading it in less than 24 hours!!!
Y'all this book has got me all in the FEELS!!!! I was so excited to get an arc of this book because the synopsis sounded so good (and I love me some Hollywood genre). I quickly fell head over heels crazy for Tyler. I honestly could have been one of the crazy fangirls screaming his name LOL! And oh how I LOVED Jessica! She is the epitome of a strong, take-no-BS-this-is-me, female that I've read in a very long time! She is the perfect balance of strong and soft.
This was my first ever Natasha Madison book and I want to know WTH has taken me so long to jump on her book train?!
The chemistry between Tyler & Jessica was palpable, even when they hated each other...it carried the undertone of passion. I hated to see this story end because I could have continued reading another 100 or 200 pages!
This was a fantastic mix of angst, passion, chemistry, individuality, and love!
Hollywood Princess is the next book in the series (but can be read as a complete stand-alone) and I am so ready for it NOW!

When I read a book by Natasha Madison I expect a lot of laugh and funny things, buy Hollywood Playboy is more than laughs.
When I first read about Jessica and Tyler I wasn’t sure how they could work out their past and find their other half in them. These two couldn’t stand each other, and when they found out they needed to work together for a while, they made everything to get out of the situation.
The firsts days were as expected but being the adults they are they worked a plan to work together, in this time, they found out they are more than an actor and a reporter, yes! They are human beings! Well, but this couldn't stay as a frienship, Tyler being the hottest actor and playboy in Hollywood is was hard to resist him.
Beijg who they are it would be hard to trust each other in the world they are involved, maybe it can’t work because they will be waiting who will betray who.
I fell in love with both Tyler and Jessica, because Jessica wouldn’t stand being bullied or feel less and Tyler shows us that there is more of the Hollywood Playboy everybody knows.
“”Tell me you don’t feel anything for me.” His eyes bore into me. “Tell me that when I left, your heart didn’t hurt like mine.””
I got all kind of feelings while reading their story, their hate, their friendship, their loved, their betray and their forgiveness. I didn’t want it to end but I needed to know what would be of them and after a few hours I got what I wanted.

Natasha Madison has an incredible writing style you can lose yourself in. Jessica and Tyler’s story is sexy, fun, and real. But just like the characters themselves, you forget what they represent to the world at large and simply fall in love with a boy and a girl.
Your heart will break for Jess several times along this journey because that's what happens when you fall in love with a man more than half the world salivates over. Your heart will break when your "friends" end up stabbing you in the back. Your heart will break over the strength of a woman whose convictions are so strong, they would rather let her love shine rather than let love shine.
And this is why I love Jess.
Summing up why I love Tyler isn't quite as easy. At first I wanted to hate him for being that playboy. But then Natasha showed me he was so layered; so complex. And he made Jess laugh. He showed her who she really was without the shell she's had to hold up to stay in a cutthroat world. And he made her realize that going around the world in thirty days is a perfect way to fall.
Every story I read by Natasha Madison is special, but Hollywood Playboy is going into that special place in my heart where the hero had to work harder for the heroine. And that's quite a bit of alright.

Thank goodness for days off so you can spend the day curled up with a good book. And this was a good one. I finished it with a smile on my face. Tyler and Jessica's story was sweet and had just enough drama to spice it up. I really, really enjoyed this :)

After two thoroughly heartbreaking books this last week - but beautiful stories that I won't soon forget, I desperately needed the bright lights of Hollywood!
An enemies-to-lovers story between two well-developed characters, I got more than I was expecting. Nothing really new about this trope -- there are lots on the market if you're looking. But this one had a few extra elements that kept me highly entertained. Of course, there's always that bad seed hiding just off-stage, and you're sure to spot the baddie pretty quickly. Romance reigns -- but it takes a battle. Readers won't be disappointed with the storyline or the writing.
I'm new to Natasha Madison's books, but I'm definitely going to continue on with the Hollywood Royalty Series.

Hollywood Playboy was such an illustrious enemies to lovers with the perfectly plotted villain!
I've felt lately that we haven't had a lot of villain like characters in romance, and when this particular character reared it's ugly little head I was stoked! I won't tell you too much about this person because well I don't want to spoil the fun for you!
Tyler, Hollywood's Playboy, (obviously) has a a hatred for entertainment journalist, Jessica, because she is always trying to get the scoop on him. I really enjoyed their back and forth and honestly I don't think that anyone does enemies to lovers quite like Natahsa Madison. Tempting the Boss is a perfect example of this.
Tyler and Jessica much to each of their displeasure are forced to go on a long press tour together and things just get more and more interesting from there.
The chemistry was unmistakable in Hollywood Playboy, and watching them struggle to keep on even footing was highly entertaining and fascinating. Seeing the two finally come together was sexy and wonderful.
If you are looking for a drama-filled, sensual enemies to lovers, you won't want to miss the star-studded romance that is Hollywood Playboy.

Audiobook Review
Overall 4 stars
Performance 4.5 stars
Story 4 stars
What a fantastic celebrity/enemies to lovers romance! Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross were awesome in this duet narration! You could really feel the emotion in this one and Wen Ross especially brought an intensity to our hero, Tyler, that you wouldn't have felt without listening to the audiobook. I think my only minor issue with the narration is that it felt a touch too slow. I'm not sure if that was done to maintain a more serious feel or not, but I ended up speeding up the narration to 1.25x to compensate.
Tyler and Jessica's story hooked me right in and I loved watching the sparks fly between them as they went head to head. They both wear masks thanks to the nature of their professions, but once the real Tyler and Jessica started to surface, the REAL sparks started to ignite. There is some OW drama and I did feel like a lot of the misunderstandings could have been avoided if these two didn't automatically jump to conclusions, but overall, the pacing and flow of the story worked really well and I was invested through the entire book. I also liked that we were given both Tyler and Jessica's POV's for certain scenes, so that we could know exactly what our characters were thinking and feeling. Cassie played her role perfectly in the story and though the conclusion wasn't a surprise, I did like how it wrapped up. I only wish that Jessica would have remained the same strong and independent woman through the final drama, instead of essentially imploding. It did help set up the next book featuring Brian and Kellie (Jessica's BFF) though and the epilogues left me smiling. I'm excited to continue with this series!

I also liked that we were given both Tyler and Jessica's POV's for certain scenes, so that we could know exactly what our characters were thinking and feeling. Cassie played her role perfectly in the story and though the conclusion wasn't a surprise, I did like how it wrapped up. I only wish that Jessica would have remained the same strong and independent woman through the final drama, instead of essentially imploding. It did help set up the next book featuring Brian and Kellie (Jessica's BFF) though and the epilogues left me smiling. I'm excited to continue with this series!

5 “I’m not going anywhere without you” STARS
Swoon-worthy perfection, romance at it’s finest, banter, dialogue and characters that are amazing in every single way. I NEEDED THIS BOOK DESPERATELY!!!
I’ve never read a Natasha Madison book. Denise and I have very few authors that we read together. But with the strong encouragement from Dani at InkSlinger and my utter love for anything Hollywood, I dove in and devoured this book IN A FEW HOURS.
What starts off as enemies becomes something so much more as these two individuals...the Hollywood Playboy and the celebrity journalist are forced to travel on a press junket tour together for 30 days. Throw in close quarters, a crazy obsessive PA, two hands full of journalists, and let’s not forget the loathing of each other followed by the undeniable heat and chemistry and you have THE MOST AMAZING, heart pounding, not a dry eye til the very last page, romantic book I’ve read so far this year! And it’s only JANUARY 😳 this book will be a tough act to follow so romance readers, get ready for some perfection! My heart is SO FREAKIN HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!! The push and pull between these characters and the dialogue....*le sigh* 😍😍😍
I’m so looking forward to the next books in this series and reading more from this author. Denise, you were right! I should have started reading her long ago!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
