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.

It’s always best to start with the truth so here we go….Hollywood Playboy is one of my favorite reads ever. Why you ask? Ha! Never ask a book lover that question…but you did so here we go!
This book had the best setting. Take a Hollywood blockbuster movie release with it’s playboy super star and send it on a mega press junket around the world for a whole month. Then to make it really interesting, send along 10 Hollywood reporters. Yep nothing can go wrong here.
You know those 10 reporters previously mentioned….well one of those reporters despises the Hollywood playboy super star (did we mention he is a very good looking bad boy super star?)But more importantly Mr. Playboy Super Star hates this reporter (we need to mention here she’s gorgeous and feisty and doesn’t want to be there at all). Oh yeah, things are going to get verrry interesting.
Now we add in some unbelievable attraction between the reporter and playboy super star. Then of course you have to have the unlikable personal assistant making life difficult for our star and reporter and you have the makings of a smash hit!
How does this amazing book progress you ask? Well that’s the part you have to take on dear reader. Go one click and find out how these two fun, slightly damaged but seriously sizzling, people find their way to a HEA. It’s not a smooth ride but your going to love the trip, believe me.
Hollywood Playboy will probably go down as one of my favorite enemies to lovers book! The intense chemistry between Jessica and Tyler jumped off the page and the back and forth between them made the book absolutely unputdownable. And Tyler! Oh Tyler Beckett… He uttered one of my favorite lines in any book ever: “…I pick her. I choose her every second of every fucking day.” Isn’t that ultimate goals – to have someone choose you so unequivocally? Le sigh. This book had everything: tension, wit, heat, and so much heart. We got a glimpse at the world of someone who seemingly had it all, but also at the price that had to be paid for it. Hollywood Playboy gave me all the feels and I CANNOT WAIT for Hollywood Princess to come out next month! 5 out of 5 wine glasses.
I loved it! It had my attention from the very beginning and I was on pins and needles waiting to see how it would end up!! I highly recommend!
I’ve been a fan of Natasha’s from the beginning and her recent book just confirms why I love her books.
Jessica and Tyler were such a pleasure to read. Opposites attract and these two were on fire!
Jessica is a writer who is sent on a 30 day tour with Tyler who is known as the Hollywood Playboy. They both can’t stand eachother but they call a truce. What we see is a building friendship that grows into more. They both have insecurities and to see how they were together was so cute.
One thing….his assistant? I have no words to describe her, but you will totally understand. In the world of Hollywood, you deal with so much. Who can you trust? Do Jess and Tyler have a shot at happiness? You have to read to find out 🙂
Can’t wait for the next book in this series! I can tell it’s going to be another fave 🙂
5 Stars
What an amazing story! I absolutely fell in love with Jessica and Tyler! Individually I love these characters. Jessica is a go getter with a strong moral compass. Though working as a celebrity reporter may make her seem like she doesn’t care about anything but the story, she would never publish a story she couldn’t be sure was truthful given the information she had at the time. Of course underneath the professional demeanor is a loving and soft hearted woman who cares more than she lets on. Tyler is of course an extremely complicated man. The star the public sees on screen or meets in public is notall there is to the this moral, caring and proud man. There is nothing to dislike about Tyler. The way Ms. Madison brings these to characters together after such a strong dislike of one another is beautifully written as well as sweet and sexy as it gets!

Perfect enemies to lovers story. Jessica and Tyler are at each others throats until well, they aren’t. This is a great story of how to look beyond what is right in front of you to see something deeper that could be just really special. And Cassie has to be one of the evilest villains I’ve ever read. grrr
Jessica was supposed to be an investigative reporter by now, but here she is seven years later still celebrity reporting. She is the best at what she does though. Being invited on a 30-day tour with Hollywood’s Playboy, Tyler Beckett, is definitely NOT what she is looking for.
Wow! Enemies to lovers has always been one of my absolute favorites. Tyler and Jessica take it to a whole new level. I was completely blown away by their story!! They are both so stubborn and determined. So full of twists and turns. Emotions running rampant. It will have you smiling one minute, in tears, and then ready to throw your Kindle the next. I was utterly hooked from the start! This is a MUST READ!!!
I received an advanced copy of this book and am choosing to review it. Enemies to lovers story. This book is so good, full of sweet moments, touches of funny moments at the right time. Full of romance and slow burn when hit the highest is hot as hell. And the perfect amount of drama because let’s be honest what is a romance book without drama just plain. But this one is just perfect for the story development. Another amazing book by Natasha Madison.
Wow Natasha has written another amazing book! Have you ever hated someone so much and judged them before you really got to meet them. Jessica works at a magazine and she gets volunteered to go on a tour with other reporters to interview celebrity but also mr playboy Tyler. Will these two get their act together In 30 days?
Drop everything and read this book! This is a book you DO NOT want to miss! Natasha Madison delivers the hottest and most captivating movie star ever with Tyler Beckett in Hollywood Playboy. She has outdone herself with this one. An enemies to lovers read filled with banter, drama, the best of the best when it comes to romance and some seriously sexy heat!
I wasn’t sure how much I’d like Jessica at first. I mean part of what makes this book so unique is I twist I personally haven’t seen before and that’s her being a celebrity reporter. Usually those reporters are always the go to “bad guy” in a story. But Jessica is smart. She’s fun. She’s genuinely kind. And she doesn’t back down. I loved her within minutes. She has the perfect balance of strong independence and heart.
Flipping me on my head again was Tyler. Seeming arrogant and a bit like a spoiled jerk with his hatred of Jessica at the start I wasn’t sure I’d be his biggest fan either, but I should know better when it comes to Natasha’s writing. Before I could blink I found myself swooning over him. Like any good celebrity read there’s everything from drama that has you gasping to steam that has you fanning yourself in this read. After falling in love with Tyler and Jessica I cannot wait to see what’s coming in the next book!
This enemies to lovers story sounded fantastic when I saw it was being released and it certainly lived up to its image!
Actor, Tyler Beckett and celebrity journalist, Jessica Hawthorn, do not see eye to eye at all! So when they both realise they’re going to be spending a month cooped up together, along with nine other journalists too, on Tyler’s latest movie premiere press tour…well let’s just say they weren’t over the moon with happiness.
This thought of Jessica’s sums up how both lead characters feel about the tour I believe … ’…my ride to my thirty-day incarceration is downstairs.’ So as you can see there is good humour laced throughout the book. The banter between the lead characters is very amusing in many places too.
What stands out in this story are the excellent descriptions of everything, from the characters themselves and what they wear to the settings. Going from location to location these descriptions were fascinating for a homebody like me, making me want to pack my bag and organise a flight immediately. Having such vividly clear images made it easy to visualise the story as it progressed.
So was I glad I chose this book? A fast paced, easy to read story that is extremely entertaining and enjoyable..of course!
OMG! Natasha Madison has given us kick a** characters to fall madly in love with in this, her newest release.
Tyler is Hollywood’s hottest male star and Jessica is the hottest gossip reporter who always manages to ‘scoop’, and print, the juiciest gossip.
At the beginning of ‘Playboy’, I was convinced that there was some unrevealed history between these two… that’s just how much they hated each other!
Fortunately though, as they’re forced to be in each other’s company for a prolonged period of time, misconceptions, misunderstandings and disrespect soon become a thing of the past and a genuine friendship (with some explosive chemistry) develops.
Add in an efficient P.A. some unrequited love and you have a recipe for fireworks where someone’s heart is bound to get fractured.
There were times whilst reading ‘Playboy’ that I laughed aloud as well as times when my eyes were filled to overflowing. There was never a time where I wanted to put it down and even contemplated a sudden case of the plague so that I could keep reading!
It’s safe to say that Natasha Madison has another winning series on her hands and I can’t wait for Hollywood Princess.
A fantastic story from start to finish. A unique spin on the celebrity/reporter storyline, I enjoyed it from start to finish. Tyler is charming, sexy and swoon worthy, Jessica is strong, independent and confident. This is An enemies to lovers storyline which is my favourite kind, and this didn’t disappoint. A very enjoyable read, cannot wait for Hollywood Princess!
Natasha Madison seriously WOWWED me with this one! I FLOVED Hollywood Playbook and cannot tell you how excited I am to read the next book in the series, Hollywood Princess, already! Natasha’s writing style has changed from a romcom to something a little sweeter and angsty with this one. The Enemies-to-Lovers is Tyler and Jessica’s story and is full of sweet, sexy and fun moments. It was incredibly entertaining. Tyler and Jess had a very real romance that I found sweet. The plot got my attention and I loved that this one was a dual POV as I might have struggled with Tayler’s character without it. I loved Jess’ forthright mannerisms and how strong she was. Tyler’s character is complex. Success has taken away the opportunity for a lasting love. Not that he has a problem with ‘playing hard and fucking harder’—he’s Hollywood’s Playboy for a reason after all… but he’s layered, and Natasha really teases out his character’s nuances throughout the story. Earlier I said this romance is sweeter, but I want to make sure you don’t misconstrue my comment. Hollywood Playboy was seXXXy. There was no shortage of chemistry between the characters and even the fighting initially made the eventual tumble all the hotter. For me, Hollywood Playboy was actually hotter than I’ve found with some of the other books in Natasha’s catalog. If you are looking for a book to really drag you in and keep you entertained right up til you read ‘The End’ then look no further. Natasha’s writing is going to get your attention from the get-go, and Tyler and Jess are going to have you flipping the pages in rapid succession. Absolutely a five-star read.
Natasha Madison does not disappoint with Hollywood Playboy the first book in her brand-new Hollywood Royalty series! Every time I pick up a book written by this author I know I am in for an amazing reading experience because her writing is beautifully unique and captivating. This amazing lady is hands down one of my favorite authors and I have yet to be disappointed by any of her stories.
One moment I was starting this story and the next moment (okay more like two hours later, but you get the idea) I found myself at the end. Seriously this one completely captivated me and I couldn’t put this one down, even if I had tried. The storyline was so interesting and I found myself completely in love with Jessica Hawthorn and Tyler Beckett. These two kept me on my toes and I loved everything they threw my way. Jessica was a sassy and strong independent lady that would give as good as she got. She was the YING to Tyler’s YANG. He was a total alpha male and yet he was also so amazingly sweet. This story was equal parts intense, emotional, and of course SEXY!
I am legit counting down the days until I can get my greedy hands on Hollywood Princess, the next book in the Hollywood Royalty series because I have no doubt it is going to be just as spectacular as this one way!
The book- was beautiful- amazing gave all the feels. The more Natasha Madison books I read- the more I fall in love with her writing!
Tyler is the hollywood playboy, Jessica the entertainment writer. They hate each other but are put together to go on his 30 day world tour.
As they spend more time together on the tour- a respect for each other is formed. From that respect things start to change- they have chemistry, passion, appreciate simple things together.
Without giving anything away- go read this book- it is so well written. It flows really well, I love all the characters, I love the honesty of both Jessica and Tyler. He’s swoony and loyal, she’s honest and passionate about what she wants and together- they just make you want more! I didn’t want it to end!
4.5 stars
Who doesn’t love an enemies to lovers romance every once in a while? Honestly, I can’t get enough of them and this one was everything I’d hoped it would be.
Jessica and Tyler have a mutual dislike of each other. Forced into extremely close quarters, they’ve no choice but to spend time together even if it is the last thing either of them wants. The banter between these two had me grinning nonstop, the sexual chemistry is enough to have a lady fanning herself and there’s plenty of swoon worthy sweetness.
I loved Jessica and Tyler. Jessica has a backbone and isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with anyone..even Hollywood’s playboy Tyler Beckett. Tyler was nothing like I was expecting! The man behind the playboy is surprisingly easy to like.
This really is a great book. It’s a fun, hot, chemistry laden romance that will leave you with a smile on your face.
Enemies to Lovers is one of my favorite troupes and Natasha Madison has given us one that will take a permanent place on everyone’s recommendation list. The story line, the characters and Ms. Madison’s writing make this book one that you will devour from start to finish.
Oh my goodness, was Tyler the ultimate Hollywood A Lister Playboy? Or was that just what he wanted you to think? His ability to control the narrative of his life was important to him and that’s why Jessica had the capability to annoy him.
Jessica has found herself in a place where she never thought she would be and doing a damn good job. However, in doing that job she has made an enemy in Tyler.
Throwing these two together for 30 days is not a good idea, but it happens. And what happens next will have your heart and mind laughing, cheering, swearing and sighing. The chemistry between Tyler and Jessica is combustible, because it’s an attraction that started as dislike and grew to complete adoration.
And just because she can, Ms. Madison gives us a slippery little slope to make our hearts drop before giving Tyler, Jessica and the reader an outstanding HEA.
I have loved every book that I have ever read of Natasha Madison’s, but she has brought it all to the table with Hollywood Playboy. Superb writing with excellent characters, she does the evil ones so well, and her storyline is so in-the-moment.
Hollywood Playboy is the ultimate enemies to lovers story. Jessica is a reporter in the entertainment industry. Tyler is a movie star whose ego is as back as his bank account. These two have had run ins in the past. What happens when Jessica has to travel with Tyler all around the world to cover his movie promo and premiere? Can these two get try and get along or will their past interfere? Hollywood Playboy is fun, sassy, sexy, emotional, and completely swoon worthy. Natasha Madison gives us another captivating story that can make you laugh, cry and fall in love all in one breath. This story was truly magical and leaves me feeling completely euphoric.
J’aime en général les romans de Natasha Madison car ce sont des comédies romantiques légères avec les mâles alpha qui nous séduisent au fur et à mesure qu’on apprend à les connaître. De plus, j’ai adoré la mise en scène faite pour le blog tour car quand nous avons été choisi pour lire le roman, nous avons reçu notre invitation à l’avant première du film .
Tyler Beckett est à 35 ans un acteur reconnu mondialement pour ses films et son talent mais il fait aussi malheureusement la une des tabloids pour nous faire part de ses frasques. Pour la promotion de son dernier film, les choses vont être faites en grand car il sera suivi pendant plus d’un mois par 10 journalistes qui vont l’épauler à chacune étape de sa tournée promotionnelle donc autant de chances de publier des articles mensongers ou de laisser fuiter une information personnelle. Il est d’autant plus sur la défensive que la présence d’une journaliste en particulier le dérange. Elle a publié des articles erronés à son sujet et ça il ne le pardonne pas. La haine est donc présente et il sait qu’au moindre faux pas , il n’hésitera pas à exiger son renvoi.
J’ai bien aimé ce personnage car sa routine est bien rodée et il peut compter sur son assistante personnelle Cassie pour l’aider à avoir une vie réglée au millimètre près. Elle est très efficace mais dès le début , je n’ai pas aimé son attitude vis à vis de certaines personnes. Elle fait très bien son travail mais parfois elle en fait trop et j’ai deviné assez rapidement ce que cela impliquait. Quand il est avec les journalistes ou ses fans , il est vraiment génial mais c’est surtout dans les scènes avec ses parents qu’il est vraiment lui même. On espère donc qu’il saura montrer son meilleur visage à Jessica et qu’il saura faire fi du passé.
Jessica Hawthorn est une journaliste aguerrie de 29 ans qui n’a plus rien à prouver mais qui a bien envie de réaliser un autre type de reportage. Elle se voit contrainte et forcée de participer à cette press junket inédite mais ce qui aurait pu être une expérience géniale sera en fait un vrai calvaire. Elle ne supporte pas le côté arrogant de Tyler et se cantonne à ses premières impressions. Les débuts ont été très difficiles et chacun campant sur ses positions, cela ne peut pas s’arranger. Heureusement l’entente et le respect entre journalistes est de rigueur et elle pourra continuer de faire preuve de professionnalisme. Le film d’action semble être intéressant et si elle tentait de découvrir ce qui ce derrière la figure publique, elle pourrait découvrir un homme qui pourrait la charmer. J’ai adoré le fait qu’elle ait beaucoup de caractère et qu’elle dise le fond de ses pensées. Tout comme derrière la star, il y a un homme qui mérite d’être connu, sous les traits de cette journaliste impitoyable , il y a un coeur qui bat. Et s’il se mettait à battre un peu plus fort pour celui qu’elle détestait tant?
Bref, j’ai passé un bon moment de lecture avec ce roman qui a tout pour plaire. On découvre l’envers du décor hollywoodien et on se délecte des aventures et des piques que nos deux héros vont se lancer. Et si l’amour pouvait se cacher derrière la haine?
