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.

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.

5 Fantastic Stars for this enemies to lovers romance!!!!
Jessica and Tyler don’t like each other AT ALL!!! Their careers put them at odds with one another…he is Hollywood Royalty, and she is a reporter who gets the scoop on celebrities. He thinks she reports on things that aren’t true, and she thinks that he is rude and nothing but a player. One movie premiere tour will make them reconsider what they thought about one another and may just give them a HEA neither one was expecting.
I love when a writer gives me complicated, complex characters. I love discovering their deeper levels with each chapter I read. Natasha Madison definitely gave me what I was looking for. It was amazing seeing how Jessica and Tyler saw each other. They couldn’t be more wrong in their thinking. I saw that because of the dual POVs the story is told in.
I grew to love their morning runs on the treadmill and then the secret excursions they took. The banter these two had going brought a smile to my face, and I enjoyed watching them get to know one another and the falling in love. They each pushed each other to be the best person they could be, even pushing Jessica to think about pursuing the career she really wanted in journalism.
I also liked how this book was written. I loved going to the different locations around the world that were on the premiere tour. The way Madison described the locales made me feel like I was there with them.
Madison also showed me the darker side of being a celebrity. Yes, Tyler had everything he wanted at his fingertips, but I also saw how he missed doing some things for himself. He also didn’t trust too easily because he had to question people’s motives. Did they like him for Tyler, the superstar or Tyler, the man?
Jessica also learned that things you think are true about a person aren’t always true. Through her, Madison showed us how very little we know about celebrities and who they are as people.
In the past, I haven’t been a fan of Hollywood romances, but Natasha Madison has made me a one! I highly recommend reading this sweet and spicy romance. I know you will fall in love with Jessica and Tyler, just like I did. Be prepared that you won’t be doing anything else until you have finished the last page.
Jessica Hawthorne loves her job and is good at it. When she first wanted to become a journalist she hadn’t imagined being the top enterntainmnet journalist in the country. Her latest assignment is not only going to test her fortitude it will test the boundaries she thought were firmly in place.
Tyler Beckett has worked hard to become the leading man everyone wants a piece of, including the paparazzi that hunt him day and night. Now, thanks to his bosses, he has to spend the next 30 days with the worst one.
This is an amazing enemies to lovers read. I was instantly rooting for these two to get together. The tale spun by this author is phenomenal and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment.
I loved that the heroine was so self-assured and not caught in the glitz and glamour afforded by her assignment. I was in awe of the hero as the story progressed.
I have read other works by this author and will most definitely recommend this story to my friends.
Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison is definitely a unique storyline that brings her readers a fun twist.
Although this one started slow for me, I enjoyed the overall storyline and the way Madison always makes her readers laugh while delivering the feels.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)…
This is a enemies to lovers book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We have the Hollywood Playboy and the Celebrity Reporter going head to head, but things change on 30 day international press tour. I love the fact that they hated each other, especially when we get glimpses into their past interactions, but call a truce to make things more civilized. Unfortunately for Tyler, he starts to notice their is more to Jessica than he thought.
I loved reading this book, although there were parts when I wanted to shake the both of them. Jessica and Kellie’s friendship was so sweet and I loved how they were there for each other. Cassie was a total buttmole and Tyler should have handled that situation a lot sooner.
I can’t wait to read Kellie’s story, because it seems Kellie and Brian are going to have a very interesting story.
Also we do get to see Alex and Meghan from Faux Pas 😉
Holy heck did Natasha Madison hit it out of the park AGAIN!!!! This is an enemy to lover book where Jessica is a journalist that gets thrown together with Tyler-Hollywood’s bad boy. 30 days together. Who is going to come out on top in the end???? I loved this book!
I have been blindsided by Hollywood Playboy, in the best way possible!! I have really enjoyed all of Natasha Madison’s books, so going in I expected to enjoy this one as well. I was not prepared for just how AMAZING this book is. There is just so much depth to this book and the characters of Tyler Beckett and Jessica Hawthorne. Tyler is Hollywood’s playboy and Jessica is the top celebrity reporter. They are oil and water. Natasha didn’t rush their story, nor did it drag on and on. It all progressed so perfectly! It was an absolute joy to watch them fall in love. I loved it all….their back and forth banter, their sweet moments, their hot AF sexy times and their raw feelings. Mad props to Natasha Madison, I can’t recommend this book enough!!
Let’s be real right now, everyone that knows me, knows that Natasha Madison is one of my absolute favorite authors of all time. Every book she writes, is pretty much my most anticipated books of all time. So as you can imagine, I have been dying for Hollywood Playboy, and let me tell you, it more than measured up to my expectations. This Dual Pov is a flippin’ epic masterpiece. As always, Natasha’s writing lured me in, and trapped me with the crazy banter, one-liners, and the swooniest s*** I have ever read. I also should mention, the chemistry and the heat in this book, it was off the charts, I was even blushing for a moment, Hollywood Playboy is a sweet and charming book, with a plot that does not drag out for God knows how long, and it flows at the perfect pace.
Jessica Hawthorn is the biggest entertainment journalist out there. She has a backbone that is made of steel, and she gives better than she gets. She isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and go toe to toe with anyone for making her feel less than. Along the a backbone made of steel, she is also quite hilarious and is very easy going, just don’t bring politics up around her lol.
Tyler Beckett is Hollywood’s playboy. Everyone wants a piece of him, weather it’s on the big screen or in person. Being in the business for over 12 years, he knows who he can and cannot trust. Just because he is some big celebrity doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy the small things in life, he enjoys normalcy as much as everyone else.
When Jessica’s next assignment takes her on a tour with the Hollywood Playboy, tension is immediately in the air, but deciding to be adults, a truths is called and slow progression is made towards anything but enemies. But as one day turns to two, and two turns into three, the progression takes on a role that both do not see coming.
If I haven’t made my point clear yet, I will make it now. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK, and devoured it in one sitting, even though I wanted Hollywood Playboy to last forever. So if my opinion means anything is should be this, READ THIS BOOK because this author writes books like no other, and she cast her magical spell on you and you will love her writing as much as I do.
She is the cream of the crop in her chosen profession. The biggest entertainment journalist in the business.
But he’s her Achilles heel. One step ahead of the game, of her. Each scoop ruined with a press release before the ink is dry on the paper, rendering her news old.
There is no love lost between them yet for 30 days they shall fly high together for a month long press tour.
She’s trouble, her words can ruin you but still he is attracted to her.
He’s a playboy, with a non existent private life, but still she leans towards him when he isn’t looking.
I had high hopes for this book from the cover alone. It is stunning! Yes I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but come on… really look at it!!
I have read quite a few books by Natasha and so knew I wouldn’t be disappointed in this and I wasn’t.
Jessica is strong willed, confident, sassy independant and very self assured. She’s amazing.
Tyler is simply a god in man’s clothing! from his image to his need to do his own stunts his dedication to his performance is out of this world.
The storyline is very unique as in I don’t think I’ve read anything like it before.
A fresh novel idea, with strong characters that soon try to steal your heart. Add in some shade to their light and it’s a winner!
A beautiful story of many depths, complications and misplaced trust.
My only real criticism is the margarita pizzas they had in Italy.. I wanted toppings, spicy meats, and explosions of taste! but I guess we can’t have everything!

Up All Night w/ Books Blog
Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison is a page-turning enemies to lovers romance.
Jess is the best tabloid reporter out there and the first to deliver the juiciest and most up-to-date gossip. Except when it comes to Tyler Beckett. He is one mark that she is only too happy to avoid and one who is always one step ahead of her.
Tyler Beckett is an in-demand Hollywood superstar and playboy. He has no time for reporters especially those the like of Jessica.
When an unprecedented press junket for Tyler’s new movie brings these two together, the sparks fly as the animosity between these two explodes.
But when a truce is made, the sparks continue to fly but now, it may just be love instead of animosity that explodes.
I enjoyed and was entertained by the banter between Jess and Tyler. This, for me, was the highlight of the book.
I love how Jess didn’t pander to Tyler and that she is self-sufficient and independent.
I also like that their problems were real and not overly dramatized.
Although I did love these two together, I found their relationship was a little rushed and/or forced. I think this is because their relationship develops and blossoms solely in the second half of the book.
Overall an entertaining and enjoyable read. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.
I want to give ALL the swoony, weak in the knees, fantastic STARS!
Natasha Madison, I LOVE your words! I ADORE your characters! This storyline and the way it unfolds is utter PERFECTION!
This is an enemies to friends to lovers – with the most tangible, lust inducing build up of magnificent angst and desire I could possibly ask for. Jessica and Tyler share a mutual animosity or even revulsion towards each other as they begin their journey . Both are legitimately justified due to past events although maybe misunderstood past events. Which makes the level of contempt they harbor that much more titillating as they both struggle with their intense attraction. The dual point of view was so spot on and impeccably written. I too fell in love right along with these excellent characters. This story contains just enough uncertainty and volatility to keep me on the edge of my seat for more than just the budding feelings between the hero and heroine. The supporting cast, especially Tyler’s PA, has the potential to create chaos. Will Tyler and Jessica overcome their spiteful past? Do they trust each other enough to overcome what ever threatens to tear them apart? Hollywood Playboy is a MUST READ!
I devoured every word of this book and can’t wait for more. I hope this isn’t the last we read of Tyler and Jessica. My fingers are crossed that they make an appearance in the next book.
6 Award Worthy Stars!!!
Oh My Stars!!! Yes, I’m giving this book 6 Gorgeous and Glorious Stars!!! Ms. Madison has outdone herself with this book!! Tyler and Jessica are EVERYTHING I wanted them to be and oh so much more!
When I first heard about this book I got excited because I’m all about everything Hollywood, movies, awards and everything in between. You see I grew up in Southern California and have been very lucky to have attend some Hollywood things, not a lot mind you, but enough that my thirst for everything that’s celebrity is never quenched.
When I first started this book I was thrilled to see this wasn’t going to be an easily earned HEA because what fun would that be? When Jessica, is literally forced to spend thirty days with Tyler, let’s just say she wasn’t jumping for joy. Tyler for his part wasn’t thrilled either. And so begins the press junket that changes everyone’s lives.
I fell in love with Tyler and Jessica. She’s smart and sassy and oh so beautiful. Tyler has movie star good looks and is really the man of the moment in this glitzy rich town. He basically can get anything or anyone he wants.
As I was reading this book, seeing their relationship grow and how they truly fall in love when they least expected it is so phenomenally captured by Ms. Madison’s words. The story is so well developed it could actually be a movie script. It’s that detail oriented. The accuracy with how this press junket is lived out in this book is in my mind and from what I’ve read exactly how it is in Hollywood.
Lest you think there’s not some scorchingly hot sexy times with our H/h never fear we get all that and more. I really think the author has outdone herself with this book and their time between the sheets and everywhere else. But more importantly she’s captured their feelings so beautifully….
“I’m lost in everything that she gives me, lost in her touch, her scent, just her.”
This is a pretty rapid moving book given that it’s taking place on this press junket, but it works astoundingly well. I never felt the characters were rushed or that the story didn’t seem on pace with the way they became friends then lovers. It was magic to see!!!
This book is out of this world introduction to this new series. Ms. Madison has once again shown why she’s in my top list of favorite authors by yet again delivering a story that captures me and my imagination taking me on a ride that was captivating, seductive and magnificently told!

Rating: 4.5 Stars
Jessica Hawthorne would like to travel but not as part of her job. Tyler Beckett is a man that people love to write about. It was interesting to see how the author created the love/hate relationship. There’s something about that which gets our attention. Just like when you’re in the grocery checkout line and people pick up those gossip rags.
This was a good way to get the reader involved into the life of an actor. We see them on screen and some believe that’s what they are. You read some of the tabloids and you believe they must do everything you see in print – after all, no one would every print a lie. It certainly makes me glad that I don’t live in the limelight.
One thing I loved about our author is that she created the perfect character for me to hate. I’m sure that at one point in her life she was a lovable person. But when we meet her I can picture her as a young Cruella De Vil – minus the mismatched hair. I also liked the fact that there’s someone willing to stand up to her. Something else the author did is that we get to see some scenes from the point of view of both main characters – a different perspective.
I haven’t read many of this author’s work and I’m glad that I changed that by getting a copy of this book. It was nice to see a woman who didn’t really care if someone was famous or not. I’d like to think that I would act the same – but until I’m put in that position whose to say. I have come in contact with some of our own local news reporters and luckily have never fallen over my tongue. My only disappointment was that I never got to see any pictures. Something else I loved is the twist Ms. Madison put in just as the story should be leading us to the end. And what an ending, I can’t wait to see where she takes her readers in Hollywood Princess.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
I absolutely freakin loved this new book by this very talented author!!! I must admit enemies to lovers isn’t my favorite to read but I have seen the light….she knocked it out of the freakin park with Tyler and Jessica’s story. Jessica is an entertainment reporter…she was picked to travel with other reporters on a press junket in regards to one of the hottest Hollywood stars out Tyler Beckett. She tried her hardest to get out of it….Tyler is someone that she can’t stand at all. When her boss pretty much told her she has no choice but to go, she vows to make it work for the next 30 days. Tyler feels the same way about Jessica…she writes stories about him that has no truth to it and he pitches a fit that she will be on this tour with him. Slowly they get to know each other and realize that maybe they were wrong about each other. They decided on a truce and starting hanging out with each other as friends. Feelings develop into something more. Can they make the relationship work in spite of what their careers are? Will someone from the inside destroy what could be a forever relationship? I loved their story so much….I laughed, swooned, fanned myself during the hot sexy times, and cried a bit too. The chemistry they shared was off the charts hot. I highly recommend this book to everyone and I can’t wait until the next book in the series comes out. Well done!!!!
Hollywood Playboy starts off the Hollywood Royalty series by Natasha Madison with a bang! Natasha Madison has given me a glimpse into the world of Hollywood that I just could not put down! This is the first time I’ve read this author and I’ve got to tell you, she’s moved up to my immediate one click author list.
To say Tyler and Jessica don’t like each other, well, that’s an understatement. Throw in the fact they are forced to be together for thirty days traveling together, working with each other…things are bound to get a little too close for comfort.
I truly cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed this book. I fell head over heels for the love-hate relationship between Tyler and Jessica and once they came together? Pure. Magic. I felt that the secondary characters also added a bit of a spark to the story without being overwhelming and taking away from Tyler and Jessica’s story. This was one sexy story that I just could not put down!
Hollywood Playboy was a really enjoyable enemies to lovers storyline. This was a book that held my attention from the get go. It reads really well and is nicely paced. This boook really had a little bit of everything I want from a romance; great story, great characters with depth and clear chemistry, it was funny, it was emotional and left me feeling content at the end.
A definite recommendation from me!
4.5 stars
Oh my days!!! Natasha absolutely nailed it with this story and most definitely kicked 2019 off with a bang!
Tyler and Jessica are arc enemies. Tyler is the ultimate Hollywood Playboy, a different woman on his arm at every event, a superstar Actor who everyone wants a piece of, and he HATES it. Trying to keep his personal life private is virtually impossible, especially with the likes of Jessica always trying to catch him out.
Jessica is the ultimate celebrity reporter, always getting the scoop before everyone else, she is at the top of her game. If only Tyler would stop getting in the way of her biggest story – HIM. Tyler is always one step ahead of her, thwarting her plans for the biggest story of her career.
These two despise each other with a passion, but when they are thrown together on a huge Press Junket for 30 days, can the close proximity change their opinions of each other? What could possibly happen in 30 days to make their hate turn to friendship, then into love? The answer is EVERYTHING!
I LOVED Jessica, her character is strong, independent and classy. She’s not your typical Celebrity spotter, she has her own unique style and she doesn’t take any crap from anyone, especially Cassie!!!
Cassie was the Bitch I loved to hate! I wanted to reach into the kindle and punch her straight in the throat on many occasions, and the fact that she brought that reaction out of me shows just how well written these characters are.
Tyler was totally refreshing. Deep down he wasn’t anything like the press made him out to be, he was just a normal guy living an exceptional life because of an amazing talent he possesses. The way he fell for Jessica melted my heart and he has fast become one of my favourite Book Boyfriends!!!
Reading the Build up to the twist, I thought I knew what was going to happen, But when I read it and realised what had happened I was like OMFG
It was perfect.
everything, all the emotion and the way they both let their walls down to allow each other in was beautiful, I felt everything deep in my heart. Natasha has also produced my favourite quote:
“I pick her, I choose her every second of every fucking day.”
UTTER. FUCKING. PERFECTION
Natasha has honestly knocked it out of the park with this one, and set the bar really high for other books I want to read! I can’t wait for Kellies story, i love her already!!!
5 HUGE sparkly stars
Natasha Madison proves over and over again that she can write the swooniest romances! I’ll be honest in that I really miss her romantic suspense storylines like her first two books… she just writes a perfectly captivating suspense. I think that first duet will always be my absolute favorite of her books and her Love series is right there trailing them. However, Hollywood Playboy is the start of a series that I’m going to watch (or read) incredibly closely. I just know that Mrs. Madison is going to give me a something that rivals my favorite stories.
So, Hollywood Playboys is way more than I saw coming! I was honestly blown away with how intense the story was and how full of real feelings it felt. I really loved Jessica. She’s just what I’d want in a friend… kinda sassy and this ultra spunky attitude that just made her endearing. Tyler, oh Tyler, I was more than smitten with this man. He was so much sweeter than I thought he’d be. No one will walk away from Hollywood Playboy without falling in love with the characters.
Plus, I’ll be honest Madison’s writing is getting better with every novel! I seriously feel so impatient waiting for Hollywood Princess. I love the way this story unfolds… it’s has a bit of everything we romance readers want in a book… sweet words that make your heart falter, fun and light while still being deep and emotional. I just know this is going to be a story loved by all!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
Natasha Madison has certainly out done herself with her brand new series! I was so excited to read something new from Ms. Madison, being a huge fan of her previous series I wanted something I could quite literally sink my teeth into. I wanted to be blown away by her words!
All I can say is… WOW! WOW! WOW!
Not only am I blown away, I am completely speechless. Hollywood Playboy was so much more than I expected. The story itself is beautiful; it combines this exciting enemies-to-lovers romance with a soulful once in a lifetime love.
The characters are well developed and I wish I could have spent more time with them! Jessica and Tyler are just incredible. I have few words to describe how much I loved them both. Jessica is this beautiful and incredibly strong independent successful woman. She is my favorite type of character. Tyler, in all his sexy goodness, is her perfect counterpart with just the right amount of alpha possessiveness while being oh so kind and gentle.
Beyond the story I am so impressed with Ms. Madison’s growth as a writer and storyteller. Having read all of her books I have had the opportunity to watch her grow and I cannot believe this is the same person who wrote the Something So series. She clearly puts alot of time and effort into her craft and grows with each story she writes. I love watching her learn, navigate and grow as a author.
5 Stars
Hollywood Playboy is the all new phenomenal enemies- to-lover story by Natasha Madison. It is the first book in the Hollywood Royalty series and OH MY GOSH it was amazing. If I could give it 10 stars I would. It is hands down my all time favorite from Ms. Madison’s, and I know, it will be one of my top reads of 2019. Days after finishing, I still can’t stop thinking about it and I know this review will not do this book justice. (I’m still going to try!)
Jessica never thought in a million years she’d be a celebrity journalist. But here she is, getting all the latest gossip about celebrities, and kicking butt at it too! When an amazing opportunity arises for her to travel the world for a press tour with an actor she can’t stand, she doesn’t want to do it. Even with knowing it would be great for her career. But as she gets to know the man behind the playboy facade, things start to change. Will she see beyond the mask to the man beneath? Or will Hollywood’s playboy ruin not only her career but her heart too?
Tyler Beckett is known as Hollywood’s bad boy. He works hard and plays even harder. When he learns that he will be surrounded by reporters 24/7 for an around the world press tour, he is not happy about it. And when he finds out this one specific journalist will be there-he is pissed. Once he starts working with her he starts to feel differently. But he needs to decide if getting close to a reporter is worth risking his career…
This book was EVERYTHING! I was not expecting the emotions that I felt while reading- at all. From laughter to tears I absolutely love it when an author makes me feel. Jess and Tyler’s chemistry was palpable-as was the animosity. The story flowed well and the writing was excellent. This book was unputdownable and I am SOOOOO excited for the next one!
Epic. Amazing. Beautiful. Emotional. Gripping. These are just some of the many words bursting out of me after reading this book. Once again Natasha has hit it out the park, starting 2019 in the best way. Anyone who reads my reviews knows Natasha Madison is my number 1 author, but even if I went into this one blind, I still would have been blown away by this stunning enemies to lovers story.
We got a glimpse of Playboy movie star Tyler Beckett and celebrity journalist Jessica Hawthorn in Faux Pas, when Alex and Meghan make their debut outing as a couple at Tyler’s movie premiere in Paris, and have longed for their story since then.
Tyler, being a movie star, wants to keep his skeletons hidden, not that he has any of course, if you ask him, there’s nothing to tell. Jessica being the top celebrity journalist wants to uncover his skeletons, even if that means she suggests things that may not be true, she has to get the scoop at all costs. To say these two dislike each other is an understatement, so when they are both told, not asked, that they will be spending 30 days together in close quarters (along with 9 other hand picked journalists) whilst Tyler travels the world on his press tour to promote his new movie, neither is happy to say the least. In amongst the misunderstandings, bitchy assistants, wardrobe malfunctions and other craziness, Tyler and Jessica begin to find some common ground, getting closer and closer until the tension reaches its peak and the Playboy reaches his limit.
I loved Tyler, though a top movie star, he still maintains his roots, frequenting simple, tucked away, local restaurants, as opposed to flashing his cash, and just wanting to live a life where he can be free, and not have to be ‘on’ all the time. Jessica is the same, she’s as happy in 5 inch heels as she is in her trainers when she visits the gym every morning, she’s funny, witty, strong and badass when she needs to be, she doesn’t take anyone’s sh!t and can hold her own.
Being along for the ride whilst these 2 battle their way to their happy ever after, is a privilege. This is a book I will be reading over and over again, and I can’t wait for everyone else to experience this beautiful love story.
Every book this lovely lady writes is my new favourite, and after seeing a sneak peek at Kellie and Brian’s story, I know she’s going to make me fall in love again and again.
