Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ebook in exchange of an honest review.

La verdad esta historia, pese a ser el típico romance cliché en pueblo pequeño y con un actor millonario, me resultó lenta de leer e incluso aburrida. La verdad llegó un punto luego de la mitad de la historia, o quizás un poco antes, donde ya no lograba leer más de 5 minutos sin querer salir de ese mundo.

La pareja principal no me gustó ni juntos ni por separado. Aunque se debe a que no me agradaban sus personalidades por separado, y menos la forma en que desarrolló su relación una vez coincidieron en la trama.

La verdad este libro no lo recomiendo. Imagino que podría tener sus fans, pero no creo que los encuentre entre quienes tienen gustos similares a mí.

This book was a fun one, we are fans of forced proximity! come on what can bring two people together more than to be forced to be in handcuffed for 5 days! We love Ryan and Olivia's chemistry, and if this book would have been a open-door romance wow it would have been a 5 star read for me! This was a great slow burn that kept us reading to see if they got their HEA!

Immature adults that rushed into a relationship. This would be the perfect cheesy hallmark movie. I only put a hallmark movie on when i wanna take a nap. i don't wanna feel like i need a nap when I'm reading a book.

I couldn’t get into this series. I shouldn’t have taken all three before trying the first book. DNF at 34%

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this e-arc. I don't have much to say on this book. It wasn't awful but it was definitely not the best book i've read. It definitely had more potential. I really really hated the insta-love aspect the author added I wish there was a little more sustenance. It reminded me of a hallmark movie but worse.

This book was such a good book and I really enjoyed it. likeable characters and interesting plot. Would like to thank netgalley for this arc copy. The plot in this book was interesting and is definitely a book I'd reread and recommend to others.

While not a horrible romance, I feel that this book could have been so much better.
I have a hug issue with insta-love, and this was the actual definition. In real life, people don't fall in love like this. Maybe teenagers.....but.....the real world...not so much.

This seems to be a trend in the romance world unless it's smut. Smut is supposed to be insta-lovey......

3 stars from me

Olivias best friends get her a date with her childhood crush turned Hollywood star, Ryan. When the two get stuck in a pair of handcuffs and the key is no where to be found, things get complicated.
Forced proximity & small town romance, with all the cuteness of a Hallmark movie.
The storyline was good & I really enjoy duel POVs. There were a couple of areas that became a bit monotonous with the internal dialogue, but there were also a few scenes that had me laughing out loud. There was also at least one ice cream I really need to try.
It was a great retreat from some other reads I had going with really heavy topics.

Mia Summers can do no wrong. The premise of this sounded implausible to me, but Summers really makes it work and gives enough detail to make it seem like it could happen! I loved watching our protagonists fall for one another and learn to navigate their different lives. More please!

I wouldn't say this was terrible, but it definitely had more potential.

The insta-love was a bit too much and too fast in my opinion.love the cover though

This was a fun, light read! Perfect for a cozy night in or reading on vacation. I love a good rom-com, and that is exactly what this is! It is a little cheesy in places but has plenty of sweet moments between the main characters. I loved that it had the forced proximity and fake dating tropes while also being a closed-door romance.
A massive thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I enjoyed reading this book. The drama wasn’t too over the top and there were some very sweet moments between the characters. It did feel like some moments were super cheesy, but overall I would recommend and read again.

Hooked On Hollywood: A Fake Dating Celebrity Romcom by Mia Summers is such a fun rom com. I loved the premise of this book and how it gets childhood friends back together, but now one of them is famous. Readers of rom coms will love this book so much. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Olivia and Ryan. They have known each all their lives. Olivia is a professional dog walker. Ryan is a movie star. He just finished a movie and has returned to his hometown to help raise money for the theater. They are auctioning off a dinner date with Ryan. Olivia’s friends buy her the dinner date with Ryan. While on the date they get handcuffed, no one has the key. They go five days without it. They lots of difficult situations, but they manage. They fall in love.

Hooked on Hollywood was cute, but not a book that I would want to come back and read again. I feel like insta-love only works if it's for the purpose of sex scenes, and as this is a closed door romance, it didn't make sense with the overall feeling of the novel.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

This was a light and enjoyable book which kept you reading on. It was a cute and cheesy rom com following Olivia and Ryan. while I felt this book could have had more potential it was overall an easy enjoyable romance read.

Your typical romance novel. Very cute and cheesy moments and perfectly did the small town romance and ex best friends trope. I just felt like so many other books I read.

Her celebrity crush becomes her enemy. She can’t forgive him for a scandal that took place. There’s an auction and her friends win her a date with him. They get handcuffed together and can’t find the key. This book was so good, so funny, and so addicting. I gave it 5 stars and I highly recommend it.
