Behind the “lights, camera, action” of Hollywood lies a world of deception, love, and seduction. Are you ready for Hollywood Royalty?JessicaAn 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 … 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.

WOW ! What a book People… ! I mean it for real – what a book ! I know that I shouldn’t throw up all this excitement here… but I JUST CAN’T do any more different.
Hollywood Playboy is my very first book from this author and BAM ! Natasha Madison had taken me by BIG suprise. Obviously I saw her name here or there but never ever didn’t read her books. What did make me to read it? Of course great recommendations from my bookish friends. Did I mention how amazing they are??? I can assure You… the are the best. I’ve trusted them so my life need another author aka Mrs Natasha Madiso, like for now.
Mrs Madison had done amazing work with Tyler and Jessica’s story. All book was written in the finest author’s style. Author gives the best plot, and showed readres how exactly Hollywod’s world could look like… how every celebrity or star needs to live with lots of paparazzi, just behind their back. Well this famous character in whole story is Tyler… what can I say about him??? In the begining I didn’t like him… I had thought that he’s just another spoiled by fame Hollywod Golden Boy, and obvuiosly… playboy. Jessica, as reporter is invited for tour with Tyler. She’s the best in her work… so it could be only interesting journey. This adventure started to be much more excitet when between Tyler and Jessica showed up tension… desire… passion… and feelings. Gah… it makes this story just sinfully delicious.
Sooo readers of all kinds grab You copy now !!! Hollywood Playboy is worth of Your time !
I loved Tyler and Jessica in Hollywood Playboy! I’ve been in such a book slump, but this book took me right out of that. I always love that no matter how many books I read by Natasha Madison, they all have their own originality to them. Her storylines are never boring or predictable.
I am a sucker for an enemies to lover book. Tyler is Hollywood’s playboy and Jessica is a lead Hollywood gossip journalist. She’s always trying to get the scoop and he’s always two steps ahead. When a new movie is being released and the two must spend a month together, what’s the worst that could happen?
Hollywood Playboy had a great flow, was easy to read, and the characters were beyond likeable with ridiculous chemistry. You are going to need to get this one….like now!
This was a fabulous read!! I was expecting something a bit more light and fluffy, what I got was an engrossing storyline of enemies-to-lovers in the cut-throat entertainment business that was highly emotional and angsty with some toe-curling drama with some super-hot sexiness thrown in. I was addicted, I couldn’t put it down – I laughed, I cried, I melted and I got mad!!
Jessica is a top class entertainment journalist, Tyler is THE movie heartthrob. He has a new movie coming out and is doing a 30 day promotion across the globe taking a handful of top journalists with him to promote everything. The movie people have arranged all this, he’s knows he has to do the publicity, what he doesn’t want is to have Jessica along for the ride – they have a bit of history where she has reported things about him, he doesn’t like it and avoids her at all costs, she just wants a good story. Neither want to be on this ride full stop, each going above and beyond to get out of it, but they’re stuck with each other. What they don’t expect is just how close and personal this 30 days will get.
I loved this story, the characters are awesome, their chemistry sizzling, the banter between them is outstanding!! I totally sided with Jessica to start with but Tyler really melted my heart as you got to know him, very swoon-worthy indeed!! Told from dual perspectives which totally made this story for me, it was delicious to watch them get to know each other.
This has really set a high standard for any future enemies-to-lovers reads for me, a well deserved 5 stars – can’t wait to read the next book!
In Hollywood, appearances are everything, and if someone is going to make it, he needs to learn to deal with the paparazzi, with the tabloid fodder, with the invasion of privacy, and with the constant need to be ‘on’ at all times, ensuring that everyone sees what he wants them to see, never truly ‘knowing’ him because that’s not what the public seems to want and doing anything to ruin his image would affect his career negatively.
So, that’s the Tyler Beckett readers meet at the beginning of Hollywood Playboy…the arrogant, unapologetic womanizer who is constantly in the headlines for his flavor of the week or his newest movie…And, that’s the Hollywood Playboy whose buttons Jessica Hawthorn, entertainment journalist, loves to press, which means that because readers are privy to her feelings and her insights for said heartthrob, it was so easy to accept her perception of him regardless of how stereotypical it was.
But, that was the perfect way for Natasha Madison to introduce the hero and the heroine’s first impressions of him because that means as the story continues and Jessica’s initial beliefs are proven incorrect, readers get to witness Tyler let down his walls and just be Tyler, the man, with Jessica, the woman and not the reporter, and by the time the animosity turns to hot and cold interactions and then to stolen glances that lead to something neither of them saw coming but now so desperately want, it’s beyond clear that these two ‘get’ each other in a way that usually doesn’t happen between reporters and superstars and even better, the reality of who they are and what they want is something only for them…at least until someone uncovers their secret…
In a Hollywood romance story, it’s so easy for misunderstandings to run rampant…for false perceptions to be seen as truths…for misguided actions to make the situation worse, so everything that goes down between Tyler and Jessica is more than believable, and that’s what makes Hollywood Playboy so captivating, and, at times, frustrating because the fact that people in the public eye are constantly scrutinized and can’t just be ‘them’ has to be extremely difficult for them and I don’t envy that part of their lives even a little bit.
Trust is not an easy thing to give and/or receive in the world Tyler and Jessica live/work, so it makes sense that Jessica is hesitant to give herself to Tyler, knowing that he’s so well-known and always in the public eye, but as Tyler and Jessica’s walls come down and Tyler proves himself to her at pivotal points in the story, I was their biggest cheerleader and I wanted nothing more than a certain female character to be dealt with in less than a gentlemanly way;)
I’m beyond excited for Kellie’s story, and I’m hoping readers will get to catch up with Kellie’s best friend and her leading man in Hollywood Princess.
4.5 Poison Apples
Tyler aka the Hollywood Playboy and Jessica aka the reporter, have always had this relationship that Tyler wants nothing to do with her. That’s not to say he won’t talk to reporters because he will, it’s just Jessica that he has a problem with and he makes that well known.
When they’re thrown into close proximity with 9 other reporters for a month with the release of his next movie sparks will fly, words are said that can’t be unsaid and did I mention that sparks will fly? Yeah, bunch of those. The more these two are together the closer they become but is there someone trying to sabotage their relationship?
Will they be able to weather the storm that is heading their way or is it going to be too much?
This is a fun story (for the most part.) I liked how the characters were smart and mature, but still had their little tiffs like they were in high school. Jessica was a successful journalist, even if she just covered celebrity gossip. Tyler was a A list actor and known playboy. He hated her for the stories she was always writing about him. She hated him for always seeming to have the upper hand on said stories. Forced together for a month and watch the tension flair. Despite her career choice, she isn’t manipulative or sly. Despite his playboy status, he is kind-hearted and generous. The side characters are entertaining as well. There’s the witch who thinks she controls him. The best friend who will do anything to help her. The loving parents. The ‘ditsy blondes who throw a wrench in their plans… to name a few. The story isn’t new… two enemies who fall in love, but the way it all plays out is a little surprising to me. I anticipated things happening, and some came true, some came true but totally opposite how I expected, and some didn’t come true at all. I can’t say too much without spoiling it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole ‘big breakup’ and who was the ‘victim.’ There are a few laughs, not what I would classify as rom-com material, but for the most part this is a lighter read. There is some sexual content. It reads easily and smoothly and alternates between POVs.
5 Hollywood’ stars.
Talk about starting the year off with a bang!! Natasha Madison does that and a whole lot more with her brand new series, Hollywood Royalty, beginning today. Hollywood Playboy was a freaking hot, sexy ride of a story. Hollywood’s top A list actor, Tyler Beckett was tough, slightly brooding and sexy as sin. Jessica Hawthorn, is a beautiful no nonsense woman, but she’s also Hollywood’s top entertainment journalist. When being she finds out she’s sent on a 30 day assignments as part of a press junket to promote Tyler’s latest movie, she’s not one bit happy. Why? Because she hates his guts… and the feeling is mutual. Tyler has no time for the woman who seems to be single-handedly out to smear him with non-existent dirt. These two squabble and bicker like children, but with a whole host of repressed emotions that only adults can feel and watching them dance around their reactions to them was entertaining al on it’s own. I read this book in one sitting, it is that unputdownable. It went everywhere with me…lol. This book had a great storyline, filled with sizzles and sparks, heat and lust, snarky banter and some seriously intense moments that will leave you desperate for more of the same. It is one of my top reads for this month. Will it make it to the list for the year? Probably, but there are 11 more months of books out there, including the next in this series which I am eagerly awaiting.
Every time I pick up a book by Natasha I know I’m going to be blown away, she did it again.
Take a hotshot journalist and a Hollywood playboy and what do you get? Fireworks, scandal, unexpected love and let’s not forget heartbreak. Through a tour with beautiful places in each stop with 10 journalists looking for the big story, a scheming minded witch ( something else I would like to call her ) and true lives and emotions brought to the surface we have a story that will leave you with an open mouth and contemplating murder for a few parts and people, it shows this is one of Natasha’s best work and I’m sure with the next book in the series she won’t disappoint with more everything. Thank you for being an amazing writer Natasha
Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison is book one in her new series, Hollywood Royalty. Hollywood Playboy is a standalone and has no cliffhanger.
Meet Tyler Beckett. He’s a Hollywood A-List actor and about to promote his latest movie. He works hard and plays harder, and the bane of his existence is a certain journalist. She drives him crazy.
Jessica is an entertainment journalist and loathes Hollywood’s Golden Boy Tyler from the bottom of her heart. She’s the best at her job, only somehow Tyler weasels his way out from her investigations. Seems like they can’t stand each other. True. But now both are forced to spend a great amount of time together. Over time their picture of each other changes. It turns from a hate-hate over a love-hate to a accept each other relationship, followed by crazy chemistry and scorching hot scenes.
Hollywood Playboy is a enemies – to – lovers romance and I absolutely loved this book. 5 stars. Next is Kellie and Brian’s story.
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.
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.
Angst, sarcastic banter, sweet, romantic, steamy, enemies to lovers – Natasha Madison has packed this one with all that and more. Jessica and Tyler love to hate each other. Opposite sides of the fence in Hollywood but forced to “play nice” for a whole month on the road. Jessica is a reporter and Tyler is the Hollywood Playboy, the IT boy with a new movie coming out. Ten reporters are asked to travel with him on a thirty day press junket around the world. What starts as torture turns into something so much more as they begin to see each other behind the masks. I loved tagging along for the ride on this one. It is worth the trip!
OMG, I got lost in this Hollywood stars book.
I read this book in one go, couldn’t put it down when you have an opportunity of a lifetime like this.
Jessica is a celebrity entertainment reporter who was chosen with another nine colleagues to go around word on a 30 days press tour with Tyler, a hot actor that everybody is talking about and wants a piece him.
Look simples and fun right? Wrong!
They hate each other! That will be fun.
From the first days will see the chemistry speaks loud and both can’t deny that, as the tour goes on both starting know more about their lives, and enjoy the talking, on the interview days and is beautiful to see relationship starts.
I love this book so much, and I can’t wait to read the next instalment!
All the Stars
Hollywood Playboy is yet another stellar, sexy, must have hit!
Seriously I find myself waiting on pins and needles for every new Natasha Madison release! But this one!!! Jessica and Tyler’s story was it in so many ways! Think crazy hot with a deliciously hot spin on a Hollywood romance.
Mark my words drooling worthy!
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.
The story is beautifully well-written, perfectly paced, well-plotted and with all the feels.
A deliciously cute, sexy and enjoyable read I greatly enjoyed, and in my opinion, is probably the best enemies-to-lovers story I have read in a while.
Jessica and Tyler’s chemistry is undeniable, even though it appears that they can hardly stand each other and the loathing is mutual. Their love-hate relationship, in which the sexual tension and the banter are amazing. This brilliant, well developed characters have a great way to entertain.
I recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in a great read!!
OMG this book IS AMAZING!!! It’s EVERYTHING I hoped and wished for from Natasha Madison!!! Her ABSOLUTE BEST YET! I dropped everything to read this book in one night, and it was time well spent. I swooned, I sighed, I laughed and I cried (just a little), because Tyler will melt your heart!! Jessica and Tyler are something special.
Hollywood Playboy starts off with an exciting 30 day trip around the world to promote Tyler’s newest movie. Jessica, a hot shot journalist is one of the elite few invited to promote the tour and interview Tyler as they jet set around the world. Unfortunately, they hate each other. AND this is where Natasha Madison turns up the heat. From hate to resentment to anger, these two cannot find common ground. They simmer and steam until finally it’s too much and passion takes over.
Under the backdrop of Hollywood glitz and glamour, my favorite tropes are Hollywood stars finding love with everyday folk. While Jessica isn’t truly your everyday chick, she’s a #bossbabe, she’s not a Hollywood star. I love the balance of Tyler’s actor persona mixed with his real self and how he can be that person with Jessica. Together they are the perfect match and they create pure MAGIC! Hollywood Playboy is one of my favorite books this year! Experience the magic of Hollywood love, Tyler and Jessica. They will DAZZLE you!!
When I read a book by Natasha Madison I expect a lot of laugh and funny things, but 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.
Being 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 love, their betray and their forgiveness. I didn’t want it to end but I needed to know what would be of them, after all there is a fine line between love and hate.
Tyler and Jessica…Tyler is Hollywoods IT guy…and Jessica has always been one step behind him as one of the best entertainment reporters in the business. It is no secret they despise each other, but circumstances throw them together for 30 days on a rather unusual press tour around the globe. The tour is what made the book new and fresh, not something that felt like it had been written before….slowly Tyler starts to see Jessica…and what burns suddenly erupts ..and can only be put out with a champagne waterfall (you won’t be disappointed at the chemistry and hotness of all of this!) Dedicated Alpha Male, he does not waiver, and as usual the series sets up perfectly for the next book. 5 stars on a fresh way to write about Hollywood romance.
There’s nothing better than a love hate book. Jessica hates Tyler with a passion. She believes he’s noting but a Hollywood Playboy. Tyler can’t stand Jessica and thinks shes a bottom feeder. Of course they are both wrong in their assumptions. Fate has thrown them together for one month on the road. Can these two put aside their differences? This book is full of laughter, angst, passion, and secrets. I really enjoyed the banter between Jessica and Tyler. They are both so wrong about each other and watching them slowly realize it was so fun. The passion is off the charts hot and will leave you thirsty for more. I absolutely adored this book and can’t wait for more.
