He’s beautiful, but it’s nothing new. After all, he’s Hollywood’s golden boy.
This was a great start to this series. I loved the forced proximity of superstar Hollywood actor Tyler and one of the many journalists on the 30 day movie premier extravaganza, Jessica. These two have never seen eye-to-eye until this assignment puts them in close quarters again and again - and they both realise the sparks flying between them are less angry and more white-hot chemistry. This was a brilliant story and one I could see myself enjoying again - it had heart, it was funny, Tyler & Jess had some good character development and the spice was on point!

This book is absolutely amazing. I was expecting Tyler to be a complete a**hole, but I was ecstatic when I was proved wrong. Jessica wasn't your typical paparazzi journalist either, and together, just WOW.
Cassie definitely needed her butt kicked and I was sooo willing to do it, I hated her with a passion.
The storyline is fast paced with fantastic characters. Beware though, near the end I was so emotional, so have tissues nearby to soak up all those feelings.

“All day.” My lips kiss her lightly, my heart beating, my chest heaving. “All week. Scratch that, for two weeks I’ve wanted you more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.”
After loving and devouring the second book in this series I had to have the first book as well. I wanted to know if it was just as good. Just as sexy. Just as sweet. And yes, holy yes it was.
It is enemies to lovers story. Yep, Jessica hates Tyler and he hates her. She is an entertainment journalist and hunts for all the juicy and spicy bits of news, and since Tyler is the big star... However Tyler has ways to find out that she is about to do a story and nicks her spotlight by breaking the news himself. But for a tour for a movie they will need to be together (along with several others). You can imagine how awkward it is and how both of them are not happy to be there. Which I could definitely understand, but sadly sometimes you don't have a choice in the matter.
I am happy that we saw both Tyler and Jessica's perspective on the situation (and not only for that but also for characters because both of them were quite strong about how they feel about things and that at times gave a bit of an asshole vibe). It gave more insight and I could understand both sides of how they felt about things. Plus it was fun to see when those feelings changed for both of them. When each of them saw the attraction and were definitely interested in going much further than drooling. :P
Tyler's assistant? Hot dang, that woman was a mess. I never liked her. I found her rude, mean, and just downright bitchy. She hurt Jessica so so much, and with that also Tyler. In the end she did even more hurtful things, stuff that caused so much damage. :(
I felt sorry that both Jessica and Tyler had to hide their relationship. That we could see them connect and fall further in love, but yet had to hide it. Especially Jessica didn't want people to find out. But given her job, so she knows how it will blow up if she is found with the Hollywood Playboy. But still I was hoping that they would be able to come out of things, get a real relationship and not just have great dates (and wonderful sex) secretly.
As you can read, sex, yep, tons of sex. Many ways sex. These two are going for it, and it was very steamy. *fans herself*
I was also happy to see Kellie and Brian again, see scenes we saw in book 2, and also get even more of them during the ending.
The ending was really great, though I was crushed at first, but then it all got so much better and I was squeeing in delight.
All in all, fabulous characters, steamy sex scenes, hilarious situations, swoony moments.

“𝙄 𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧. 𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙖𝙮."
My favorite line throughout the whole book.
Woah! This book is everything. The dual POV is AMAZING! The sass in this book is REAL. The one liners will leave you shocked or make you laugh.
Jessica is the biggest celebrity entertainment journalist. Everyone knows that she is the best. Tyler is Hollywood's biggest playboy, and maybe a little intimated by Jessica. The hate they have for each other is real. But, they are both doing their jobs. When Jessica's next big job is to go on tour with Tyler and his team for the next 30 days, she wonders if she will survive. Tyler and Jessica decide to call a truce...knowing this is the only way to get through the next month. The things you do for your job! Obstacles get in Jessica's way. Not in a good way. You learn to keep your enemies close..but sometimes your enemy is unbearable.

I was so excited to see this released and could not wait to give it a listen, and I am so glad that I did! It's one of the best of the year for me so far! Tyler is an A list actor, going on tour for his upcoming blockbuster release. He is taking 10 journalists along for the ride, one being his nemisis, Jessica. And from there, the story goes. This enemies to lovers story is pack full of feels and emotions. Tyler is a great character, full of sincerity, the kind that is easy to fall for. Jessica on the hand is the character I really fell for. She is a consummate professional, and goes into this assignment with grace. I love how strong and independent she is, and yet, Tyler becomes her one vulnerability. It's an easy listen, had me completely caught up and kept me entertained the entire time.
Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross give this story their all. The performance is spot on. Kai's portrayal of Jessica gives her that determined undertone, never giving in and can turn on a dime to show that passionate, vulnerable side. Wen's smooth voice for Tyler will woo the best of them, and with Tyler, he makes him strong and emotional, showing that Tyler is more than his image. It's spectacular narration and one you do not want to miss.

I honestly read this for a challenge. It was eh.
Hollywood Playboy was an okay book. I totally felt and liked the romance but other than that.. meh. In it, you will meet Jessica and Tyler. They were cute in their own way.. but ugh, I just couldn't get into this story. Maybe it was work.. okay it totally was work.
They had their funny moments and swoon worthy moments.. but I've read much better smut if I'm being honest. I don't know when I got super picky but now it's a thing. I did, however, enjoy this book and I can totally see myself diving into the second book of this series.
