Absolutely loved everything about this cute book. The characters were so relatable and real. The story line flowed and kept me wanting more. And the romance was the perfect amount of cuteness and chemistry. I devoured this book and cannot wait for it to be out in the world for everyone to enjoy as well!

When Olivia and Chuck's volatile relationship explodes for the final time, the video ends up going viral. In the aftermath, Olivia wants nothing more than to keep her head down and look for a way to pay all of her bills, but when the ex-couple is offered the chance of a lifetime, they'll have to put aside their differences and learn to live with their fame - and each other.

All they have to do is live for one month in the same house. Sounds easy enough. If they can keep it together, they may just make it out in one piece - and one million dollars richer. Can they settle their differences? Or will the forced proximity prove too much to handle?

While the growth of character seemed a little too quick for such a short time and interaction, overall the dynamic and premise worked as a whole. Chuck's character was a little too vain for me to handle at some points, but overall their relationship was easy to settle into.

A great new romance for fans of power couples and second chance romances.

NetGalley ARC -

This was a fun romcom and a very quick read. Loved the back stories and the game show environment. Negative was not sure i was invested enough in the couple.

This book reminds me of another rom com book I read with the reality show plot but at least these characters didn’t have crazy names and we weren’t stuck in Christmas.
I loved those trope and had a lot of fun reading it!
This book was fun, fast, and gave me warm fuzzy feelings! Super fun!!

Such a unique and entertaining read.

I did request to view the ARC of this book solely for the cover and the title so I read this for funsies.

Olivia and Chuck's break up went viral so when they got offered to participate in a reality show, they jumped at the chance because they needed the money. We follow them along as they film the reality show at the same time, battling feelings for one another.

It's really easy to read and fast-paced. Right off the bat, we saw the instant connection and chemistry between the main characters. As a fan of reality trashy shows (lol), I did love the whole premise of the book. It's new imo and both characters are so lovable and relatable, so it's easy to root for them both.

We saw both their growth and how they juggled being in a relationship, breaking up and the process of them moving and living together due to the show.

I love the sprinkle of the games and challenges brought on by the producer of the show and the punishment. Reminded me of Too Hot Too Handle which is my fave reality show.

I love that due to the film, they were literally forced to talk and coexist which made them open up about their struggles and challenges in life and in relationship. In a way, it made them their relationship stronger than ever.

Thank you to Dutton Books, @duttonbooks and Netgalley @Netgalley for this arc. All thoughts are my own.


Olivia thought she was done with Chuck, but when their very public, fiery, breakup is caught on tape and goes viral, they find themselves with a unique proposition in front of them. They can go on a reality tv show, for the chance to win one million each, but the twist is that there is one bed, one bathroom, and no dishwasher, oh and they have to do a bunch of challenges over the course of the month.

Chuck readily agrees, but Olivia only goes along with it because she needs the money to keep her grandma in a nice nursing home. She really wants nothing to do with Chuck.

Can these two learn how to turn their sizzling hot communication style into one that is more worthwhile?


I fell in love with Holly James in The Deja Glitch. That book taught me how much I love time loop romances! I secretly wanted this book to be that book, but just slightly different, however it wasn’t. I was only slightly disappointed because this book was amazing in it’s own right! I’m quickly learning, with the help of this book, how much I enjoy reality tv romcoms! Funnily enough while reading this one on my kindle, I happened to find myself listening to a thriller set on a reality tv show as well! It made for a fun time.

Getting to know Olivia and Chuck was a lot of fun. They were fiery and spicy. I loved how over the course of the book they learned to communicate despite being jammed up for it. I have been in a relationship that reminded me of Olivia and Chuck’s fiery style. It didn’t end up quite as humorous for me as it did them though!

I recommend this one for those looking for a laugh-out-loud rom com. Do be warned that this book is all about the miscommunication trope, but it was pretty hilarious in my opinion and I didn’t get frustrated by it because I was too busy laughing.

Picture a couple so irresistibly drawn to each other that they can barely keep their hands to themselves. Now, imagine them agreeing to spend an entire month together without succumbing to their passionate urges. Meet Olivia Martin, the scandalous offspring of a clandestine affair between Hollywood icons. Raised by her grandmother and burdened with debt, Olivia dreams of becoming a writer. When faced with the daunting task of funding her grandmother's care, she reluctantly accepts an offer from producers who see potential in her viral video spat with her ex-boyfriend, Chuck.

Chuck finds himself ostracized from Hollywood following a heated altercation with a top-tier director. Desperate to salvage his career and finances, Chuck agrees to participate in the TV show concept that reunites him with Olivia. Yet, beneath his surface motivations lies a deeper desire to mend their fractured relationship, particularly in the eyes of his family.

Can these tempestuous individuals resist the pull of their shared history and simmering emotions? With unresolved feelings lingering, the stakes are undeniably high.

I adored this book, awarding it five stars for its electrifying chemistry! I wholeheartedly recommend diving into it without spoilers for the full experience!

Thank you @duttonbooks and @netgalley for the eARC of Name Your Price by @hellohollyjames in exchange for an honest review!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 Olivia and Chuck have a spark that has ignited into a wildfire that is beyond their control. Their passion runs a little too hot and their break-up seems pretty permanent. After all, she “wouldn’t get back together for a million dollars.” They soon learn the meaning of putting their money where their mouth is because when a video of their break-up goes viral, they are approached with a reality show that will pay them each a handsome reward to tape their lives together. Name Your Price is a delicious balance of laughs and romance. Holly James writes an absolutely delightful, clever book that might just leave you asking yourself what your price might be in a similar situation.

4.5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The concept of this book is great. Put two recently broken up fiery personalities in a house together for a chance to win $1M and they cannot touch each other or lose money. The sexual tension is on high right from the start. The challenges were fun. I love that they learned to talk to one another and learn more about each other that lets them move on from their anger for one another. I also loved Chuck"s "grand gesturing". I do wish the MMC had a different name because Chuck just doesn't do it for me lol.

This was a fun, sexy read.

Thank you NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Dutton | Dutton and Holly James for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adore Olivia & Chuck so much. I loved the Hollywood and reality TV setting of this book so much. These characters were so easy to cheer for and it made reading this book such a delight. Well paced and the perfect mix of romance and spice! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC. Looking forward to reading more books from Holly James.

This book is addictive.

No really. I read it in one sitting. I'm still thinking about it hours later. I am already wondering if I should go on a game show with my ex (the answer is no but 'Name Your Price' is making it hard to remember why its such a bad idea).

'NYP' is a lovers to enemies (?) to lovers romance with a whole lot of tension and even more feels. In short, it's wonderful.

The book is short, but it manages to get through quite a lot of plot without feeling rushed. I remember looking down at the page numbers when I finished and gasping at how low the number was. Point is, it's fast-paced but not rushed. The perfect combination. We start the book in the middle of an argument between the two main characters and the plot runs from there. I was hooked from the first page to the very last.

The characters are all well flushed out considering the length of the novel. I honestly thought I would hate the characters based off of the introduction in the first chapter, but they surprised me in the best possible way. I loved how they learned to work through their issues and found their way back to each other. It was so sweet, especially when they stopped fighting and started working together.

My one complaint is that this book isn't longer. I would've loved to see more of them both on and off the show. I wouldn't say it's a necessary fix considering how nice everything is already. I'm just greedy and want more.

I recommend this book to fans of Sarah Hogle's 'You Deserve Each Other,' fans of celebrity romances/romances set on TV, and anyone that watches 'Love Island.'

Thank you to the publisher for the e-copy. I am eagerly awaiting James's next release.

Romantic comedy is the genre I often turn to after reading a book that requires a lot of thinking and effort, and when I just want to immerse myself into something light-hearted. Name Your Price was exactly what I needed! The plot is unique, well paced, and all the characters (main and side) were extremely well developed. I loved everything about Chuck and Olivia’s relationship, their back stories, and the reality show premise. I binged this book in a matter of hours! This was my first book by Holly James, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Thank you to Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Rom coms are my kryptonite I have to said, loved this one so much, it was fun , entertaining and enjoyable. Definitely will keep a eye out for more books by this author

Rounded up to four from a 3.5

Cute rom-com which follows the basic premise of most - somehow sexy couple fighting and splitting up find their way back to one-another and true ove.

This one was lusty and cute, with a fun premise of the adult surviving child of Hollywood darlings whose story was never really told. That premise, along with a fun inside look at what it’s like to film a reality show, caused me to broaden my reading horizons to read romance.

Good book for escaping.

I love a rom-com and this one doesn't disappoint. Fun storyline with likeable characters and the spin on the game show idea worked well

Was this review helpful?

I liked, but didn’t love this book. It felt both rushed and slow in the storyline. I was excited for the premise, but the actual reality TV aspect of the show wasn’t as exciting as I hoped. I did like the characters trying to make each other crazy 🥵 but I feel the sub-plots were kind of unnecessary and took away from the whole story.

I really like this author so I’m looking to see what else she writes, but this one wasn’t a hit for me personally. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for allowing me to read and review this book.

Name Your Price by Holly James is a cute Hollywood romance that will leave you swoon, with all the feels all the way through the book until the (spoiler alert) happy ending. The drama & passion in this story is off the charts, but the storyline definitely makes you wanna keep reading as well.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book on #NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own, buy do yourself a favor & read this one. The main characters, Chuck & Olivia, go from a volatile romance through a roller coaster series of circumstances that help them realize that they need to fight for each other instead of with each other.
