Thank you Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review. I am a sucker for a second change romance and this didn't disappoint! I really enjoyed the connection that Olivia and Chuck have. Their chemistry was off the charts! Adding the element of living together for one month for a chance to win $1 million dollars on a TV reality show, made this a fun, fast paced read.

I am very thankful to have been gifted a copy of this book; however, at this point this book will be moving to my DNF shelf. It sounds like something I would have really enjoyed, and will happily come back and re-review once I am in a better mindset for the book.

This was super cute! At first I though this was going to be the typical type of reality show romance but I was pleasantly surprised!

A sincere thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Holly James just has a way with rom-com novels and Name Your Price is her next success. Oliva and Chuck have broken up for good. They fight and makeup, but this time they’re done. But how can they turn down a million dollars, which is what they’ll earn if they can live together for one month? Name Your Price is fun, at times laugh out loud funny and generally a good time!

I AM HERE FOR REALITY SHOW ROMANCES!

This trope has honestly thrived over the past couple of years! It's one of my favorite tropes because I absolutely love reality TV.

After a viral break up video, Olivia and Chuck are invited to live locked in a house together for one month and they will win money at the end.

This book has reality TV, second-chance romance, and forced proximity! what else could you want?

This book has been on my Netgalley for a bit and I haven’t picked it up. I haven’t been into romance in a minute, so I’m not the right person to review it anymore.

It drug on a bit, but overall was enjoyable and a fun premise. I love the way it wrapped up in the end. I'd give it a 3 and a half but not quite willing to round up.

I had so much fun reading this!! The hollywood/reality show setting was exciting, the premise was playful and fun, and the characters were so loveable (even with their flaws). I loved the background story for Olivia and the way Chuck was always there to support her. I loved the hilarious antics in the house and I loved that the "no touching" rule amped up the tension in a really delicious way! This was a one sitting read for me and I highly recommend it to anyone else who considers romance a comfort genre.

Totally felt like this story premise reminded me of Real World and Jersey Shore all wrapped into one. Also throw in a little Big Brother in there and Survivor, and you've got the perfect description of Name Your Price! The two characters live locked together in one house with one bed, one bathroom, and rules that they must abide by - I would go NUTS. But I would say their relationship really wasn't... there. The lust? Sure, but a relationship with true feelings? I didn't feel it or buy into it. Also - there were a couple ideas that floated through the house that I thought oooh this is PERFECT, but then two scenes later, that same idea came crashing and burning and wasn't a real thing anymore. These inconsistencies are difficult to read about and follow along with, and really detract from the storyline! Overall, though, this was an interesting story premise and it was carried out decently well. Thanks for the opportunity to read!

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4/5 stars

A fun and sparking romcom full of chemistry and banter. Two broke exes get locked in a house together on a reality show for a chance to win a million dollars and sparks inevitably fly.

I especially loved the humor in this romance. The chemistry was palpable and the banter was on point. Very fun and entertaining.

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.
