This is the first book I’ve ever read by Eva Haining and it was one of the best enemies to lovers romance I’ve ever read. I definitely need to go read the other books in this series. This story was about Jasper “J.J.” Savage and Maisie. The story was entertaining from beginning to end, it was original and well written, with strong supporting characters.
You could feel Jasper and Maisies hatred for one another run deep, and then you can feel the tides change because their chemistry is off the charts. These two are hott together, you’ll need a bucket of cold water to douse out the flames. When they’re together they are wild, uninhibited, and explosive. These two are the definition of opposites attract.
Maisie is a southern belle but she also has that pure southern sass. She doesn’t take crap and can stand with the best of ’em. She’s fierce, loyal, honest, and hard working. Sometimes she has a tendency to be a little too blunt and sticks her foot in her mouth.
Jasper comes off as a prick, to the point you want to punch him, but he’s just bitter from being burned by someone he cared about and by Hollywood. He’s actually really sweet and caring once you get past his walls. He goes about his redemption all wrong, but Kingsbury Falls chews him up and spits him out (in a good way) leaving him with new insight, game plan, and mission.
I loved these two main characters together. They had such chemistry . Also love it when the story itself is one that you can get lost in, just like this one. This whole book really just entertained me and did not let up.
This of course is an enemies to lovers romance, which I so do enjoy those moments when they fight, until they don’t. So much fun to see them have that ah moment. Here it just seemed to be more, more hatefulness I should say. I do not know what others think but it seems that they were enemies longer than what I am used to. But you know what it just make it the more sweeter when they did finally get together. So hang in there, it does happen.
But overall, it was fun watching Maisie and Jasper get to their happily ever after. I would definitely recommend this book.
Ms. Haining’s best book yet!
From hate to hotness, Jasper and Maisie were flames-a-blazin’ from start to finish. Their chemistry was so well-written. I could feel it as I read, but it was also portrayed well in their acting in the book. It was fire when they fought and fire when they loved. I was hooked from the very beginning.
I really liked Maisie’s character. I love a feisty heroine, and she was definitely that. However, she also had the right amount of vulnerability to make her a well-rounded, endearing leading lady.
Despite his ego, I couldn’t help but root for Jasper. There was just something in his character that made me feel like he was worthy.
I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. This author’s writing gets better and better with each new release, and I can’t wait to see what she puts out next. I definitely recommend this book.
**I received an ARC of this book from the author.**
I haven’t read anything else from Eva but I will have to remedy that really soon, I just Loooved Mustang Hollywood. I love Hollywood romances, especially those set in small towns. In this one we meet Hollywood Royalty and all round jerk JJ Savage, at least he is when he meets home town gal Maisie.
After an incident in Hollywood that just about ruined his career, JJ is taking a chance on rebuilding by taking a role in a movie shot in a small town. Maisie is incredibly talented and wants a career in acting, but JJ refuses to entertain the fact that she might bring something special to this movie to help it become a success.
Although these two butt heads all the way through the book, their chemistry is totally off the charts. Everyone in town can see the on and off screen chemistry these two have but JJ is afraid to risk his career on an unknown until he has no choice.
This is such an entertaining story that is tough to put down until finished and you have to cheer for warmhearted Maisie who is super talented, sassy and refuses to let JJ steamroll over her, she is going to stand up for herself and show him how talented she is. You will have a wonderful time during your trip to Kingsbury meeting the friendly and genuine people there. Have fun!! I haven’t read the previous two books in this series but I am planning to read them soon.
Oh such a good story. I love these characters so much, they sicked me into their story so far I just couldn’t put it down. I loved watching how they were with each other and at some points I just wanted to bang their heads together. This is the first book I’ve read of the series, I didn’t feel left out of any inside stuff but it has made me want to go and read the other books! Such a good read.
This story is a great read! While it is apart of a series, you do not have to read the other ones. I had read this as a standalone and had no problem following it. I love the small town feel setting of this story. Enemies who become lovers makes it so engaging. The love/hate relationship makes it so steamy and of course always a happy ending. Loved it!
This is the 3rd book in the Mustang ranch series. Eva Haining is becoming one of my favourite authors. I could not put this book down. This is a book showing love and support from friends and a whole whole town. This enemies to lovers book is full of sass, laughter and downright just cheering. Sometimes you don’t know what you have till it’s gone. Lack of confidence in yourself is sometimes transferred to others under different circumstances.Vote of confidence from friends and people having your back is sometimes all you need.

Arc received for honest review
This has everything from enemies-to-lovers, amazing chemistry, and downright hotness all mixed into a small town. I was unable to put this down. I loved Jasper and especially Maisie because she was fierce!
Eva Haining continues to give us stories we can sink our teeth into and enjoy immensely. My first read by this author was Fumble, her most recent rom-com. I enjoyed that story so much. The characters, dialogues, and situations, which at a couple of points moved into the dramedy category, were all so entertaining I was just looking forward to reading more of her work. I have to say Mustang Hollywood definitely met my expectations.
The enemies to lovers storyline with two diverse characters was engaging and a page-turner. I swear I wasn’t sure they were going to get over themselves long enough to get together there for a while. But past characters Maddox and Jax from previous books played integral roles in this novel. The dialogue, setting, and storyline were so much fun to watch play out as Jasper and Maisie fell in love.
I continue to look forward to more of Eva’s rom-com novels, but now I am anxious for her to maybe take us back to Mustang Ranch.
This is the 3rd book in this amazing series and is Jasper and Maisie’s story. J.J. Savage is a famous Hollywood actor until they turn their back on him, and now he finds himself in a small town for a small-time movie. Maisie is a hometown budding actress who is excited to be an extra in this movie and to work with Jasper. These two butt heads from the first time they meet, but the chemistry between them is off the charts, and now they are forced to work together. This is a well written fast paced story which is an enemies / lovers’ romance story and is humorous and entertaining. I was captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend for all.
JJ’s reputation has been trashed by his ex. When he takes a part in a B list movie in Kingsbury Falls, his hopes for the film to restore him to his former status are quickly dashed. Maisie is thrilled to be an extra in a JJ Savage film. They have a rocky introduction and are quickly at odds.
This is a fun 3 book in the series. I will be honest I really wasn’t a fan of Jasper in the beginning. Maisie was relatable and the girl next door. As the story progresses I loved getting to know the real Jasper and fall in love with him. It was wonderful to have all the previous characters. The banter was great and kept me laughing. I totally want to visit Mustang Ranch and Kingsbury Falls. Can’t wait for the next book.
I absolutely loved Maisie and Jasper. These two are oil and water. The push and pull, the banter is amazing and the spark and chemistry between them off the hook. These two did not start off on the right foot and Miaise gives him a piece of her mind. No way can he work with her, but when the leading lady is a dud he’s out to find a new one, anyone except Maisie. He has to admit that they have amazing chemistry on camera as well as off, but she is infuriating and all the do is fight and they argue, this can only mean one thing, right? Will stardom make it break this budding relationship or will they flourish? So much fun, I really enjoyed reading this story, what a breath of fresh air. This author is fast becoming a new favorite for me. I received a copy of this book.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy. I absolutely loved this small town… enemies turned into lovers story. Mustang Hollywood is a must read if you LOVE small town romances. The two main characters J.J Savage aka Jasper, and Maisie have an explosion of wonderful banter, and an amazing chemistry. I love how Maisie is this sassy, determined southern beauty (starts as a fill in in a movie with J.J.) who wont take any crap from J.J who is this famous actor (at first arrogant and very stand-offish with everyone, including Maisie), while working together in a movie. These two go through some ups and downs, but eventually see each other for who they really are, and realize they are a perfect match. Wonderfully written…definitely held my attention throughout the whole story. I highly recommend this book!!
OMG!!! This book is amazing. Jasper and Maisie are amazing. From their first meeting they have a love hate relationship. When they realize the chemistry they have just isn’t on the big screen or a scratch the can itch, it is amazing. My favorite part is when Maisie stands up for her man.
