REVIEW: Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison

Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison: Jessica never imagined she would be reporting on celebrities and racing to print the latest scandal. But now she’s on the top of her field and she knows how to work her sources to ensure she’s first to print. She’s smart, savvy, determined, and has built a formidable network. She may be stuck as a Hollywood reporter, but she’s got quite the wardrobe to show for her workaholic ways.

Tyler is the hottest actor in Hollywood. He’s incredibly sexy and charming and everyone wants a piece of him. He enjoys the work, but could do without the intrusive press and constant lies printed about him. He doesn’t trust easily and maintains a small group of friends, family, and others in the business he can trust.

Tyler is notorious for not giving interviews and seemingly always staying one step ahead of the press. He loathes reporters who make a living off printing anything they can find about celebrities and profiting off pain and scandal, and no one is the epitome of the hateful press like Jessica. It’s much very a case of mutual dislike since Jessica can’t stand him either. Besides the fact that he always beats her scoops about him, she sees Tyler as nothing more than a playboy leading a very charmed life.

“Okay,” I say, and now I start pacing. “One day you hate me.”
“Yeah. I remember that day,” he says, smiling and then takes a sip of water.
“Then we call a truce?” I look at him, glaring.
“Yeah, I remember that also,” he says, now getting off the treadmill and standing in front of me.
“Then you go back to being an asshole.”

It’s debatable who hates the idea of a 30-day around the world press tour more: Jessica would rather be anywhere else and Tyler couldn’t get her kicked off the tour. From the get go, they constantly bicker and argue in spite of just how attracted they are to each other. But being forced to spend time together presents them with a unique opportunity to get to know each other and see the other in a new light. Acting on their attraction is a terrible idea for both of them, but it might be the most pleasurable mistake either has made.

“You aren’t go to let up, are you?” she asks, her eyes becoming a touch brighter.
I shake my head. “No, not when it comes to you,” I finally say, and she nods her head.
“Go back in,” she says, “I’m going to go to the bathroom and freshen up.”
“It kills me that I can’t kiss you right now,” I say, my hand squeezing hers.

Hollywood Playboy is thoroughly entertaining with banter, conflict, drama, and oh so hot. Natasha Madison provided an engaging enemies-to-lovers story that I didn’t want to put down. Ms. Madison built a believable world of power, money, status, games, and betrayal with quite the mix of secondary characters from friends, family, coworkers, and rivals. Fans of Corinne Michaels and Tessa Bailey will love Hollywood Playboy.

Are you ready for Hollywood Royalty?
Jessica

An 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 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.
