Hollywood Playboy: Hollywood Royalty, Book 1

This was my first time reading one of Natasha Madisons books, and I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised. It seems in romance that there are too many authors, who write these women who are supposed to be strong and then faint or pass out her are weak and you’re just so disappointed, but Natasha balanced that out so well when she wrote about Jessica. Jessica is strong and she is independent but yet she can still fall in love and she can still follow her heart and she can still expect good things and flow with the bad ones. I really enjoyed every second reading this book.

This was a fabulous book. Tyler and Jessica were so good together. I knew that Cassie was going to be a problem. She was so possessive. The matching outfits were a red flag. I was happy that Jess gave Tyler another chance.

Jessica is one of the best entertainment reporters in Hollywood, which is whys he ends up on a 30 day worldwide press tour for the newest release from Hollywood’s playboy, Tyler.From the first moment Jessica and Tyler don’t get along. There is a ton of tension between them, but beneath all that tension you can feel the chemistry brewing between them. Plus, their banter at times was just pure gold.I loved seeing them grow. The more time they spent together, the more they learned about each other and realized that maybe they really misjudged on another and there is a lot more that meets the eye, especially in the case of Tyler.There is spice, there is swoon, and there is plenty of addictive tension and drama between Tyler and Jessica.If you’re looking for a forced proximity, enemies to lovers romance check this one out.

Hollywood Playboy was a mixed bag, for me. The parts that I loved I loved immensely. The parts that didn’t work for me really felt laggy. In the end, the good far outweighed the bad, and I enjoyed the overall story. Jessica and Tyler were an interesting, if unlikely, couple and I felt they were going to be able to weather life’s storms together.Hollywood Playboy was kind of an enemies-to-lovers romance, though I never quite bought the enemies side of their relationship. It felt a little forced, and the reasoning behind their disdain didn’t quite ring true for me – at the very least it didn’t seem like they had any reason to hate each other beyond why any famous person and Hollywood reporter would hate one another. I kept waiting for a big reveal to explain their animosity to no avail. I was exceedingly happy when they finally dropped that façade and began to treat one another with respect and interest, that was MUCH easier for me to buy into.My favorite part of Hollywood Playboy was the secrecy in which they developed their relationship. I think that keeping things between the two of them helped Jessica and Tyler learn to trust one another and keep things real in the midst of a world that is often manipulative and fake. When they were in the little cocoon of their relationship their chemistry and connection was intense and satisfying. I loved that Ms. Madison added scenes with Tyler’s parents and the ways they showed their love for one another, then mirrored it later in Tyler and Jessica’s relationship because it made it feel more powerful and real.I struggled with the first third of this book really dragged. There was a lot of information that didn’t add to the story in any way, and I found myself getting increasingly annoyed with how superficial the characters all seemed to be. I attributed that to the excessive name brand usage and unnecessary descriptions of every. Single. Article. Of clothing, every character in the book was wearing. It got repetitive and felt very inelegant.

**could contain spoilers**This book was a wonderful read, I found myself laughing along with the characters. The main character, Jess, is a strong and independent woman who constantly stood up for herself. That’s one of the things I admired most about her is that she always stood her ground and fought for what she believed in. Then there’s Tyler, Hollywood’s playboy, who becomes the opposite of what Jess believes him to be. It was amazing to watch these two go from detesting each other to respecting each other and then inevitably falling for the other. Along the way they need to handle things like Tyler’s pesky assistant who’s in love with him and low key trying to sabotage Jess and Tyler’s relationship or the media possibly finding out they are more than friends.I would recommend this book, especially considering I read it in one sitting! The only reason I did not give this book five stars is because I felt like the end was a little rushed. We jump from getting back together and doing the press tour to all of a sudden the oscars and having a baby with only some details in between. I would’ve liked to see more about Jess’s process of taking the next step in her journalism career and kinda a glimpse into what that looks like as Tyler is filming for his next movie. The talk about a proposal during the oscars is sweet, but I would’ve liked to see what happened after and Jess revealing to him that she is pregnant just to feel like it really concluded.I can not recommend this book enough if you’re looking for a good read in the rom com Hollywood genre. I loved the book! Happy Reading!

Celebrity romances get me every time because I like to believe this is what celebrities are actually like, completely normal human beings who just want to fall in love like the rest of us.And oh my god, Tyler 😍😍😍 honestly, he was such a sweetheart, I loved him and his charming nature so much! Jess was such a badass, she was so great, truly standing up for herself and her beliefs and putting herself first in tough situations. They were so hot together but such great characters apart too! The whole plot was so well written, it felt like you were on the press tour with them! Definitely one of my favourite celebrity romances and will be reading the next in this series ASAP!

Enjoyed this book, enemies to lovers. Loved the story, easy to read, loved the chemistry between Jessica and Tyler and although you saw how this would fold out with Cassie, it still was well told.Easy read, good story line, well worth the purchase Natasha Madison

Hollywood Playboy was a fantastic start to Natasha Madison's new series. As it was engaging, entertaining, sweet and sexy. And it easily hooked me in. Thanks to a swoon worthy hero and a feisty, fabulous heroine. Who both had issues with each other and found it extremely hard to trust. But I loved that element between them and the chemistry Tyler and Jessica shared, sizzled as they went from hating each other, to friends to lovers. And I would happily recommend this story to others.

30 day press tour with 10 journalists ,what could go wrong!!!!!Tyler and Jessica don't like each other but they grow on each other through the tour into the unforgivable happens through no fault of their own.The chemistry between these two is amazing,it's as if they are drawn to each other.Jess sees the other side to the stories she writes an Tyler just loves to niggle a t her.Great fun read.
