Audio Review: Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison

 

Hollywood Playboy is my first book by Natasha Madison, but I’m looking forward to reading more! Especially from this series.

I got excited when I listened to the first few chapters of this book. I love me a good enemies to lovers story! Jessica is an entertainment journalist and Tyler is a Hollywood star. Jessica reports the story first, and Tyler always seems to block her. It’s safe to say they don’t get along at all…

When Tyler’s new movie tour is a 30 day press tour, Jessica doesn’t want to go, even though it’s an amazing opportunity. And Tyler sure doesn’t want her there. But they both get overruled and end up together. With hate and banter, there is always a spark. The two have such chemistry and when their hate starts turning into attraction and friendship, neither of them knows what to think.

I loved both of the main characters in this book. Tyler is very down to earth for being such a big star. I loved his relationship with his parents, how he had a good heart, and tried to see the best in people. Jessica was great, too. Her life wasn’t exactly how she wanted it to be but she made the best of it and did her best to be successful. She’s determined and strong.

Their relationship was fun, sweet, sexy, and had the best build up. I was anxious to see how things would turn out between them, and by the end I was all happy and swoony. Tyler is the best!

“I pick her. I choose her every second of every fucking day.”

I listened to the audio book of this story and it was narrated by one of my favorite duos, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. They have so much chemistry and are both top notch narrators. They did a great job bringing Jessica and Tyler to life.

If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers story that is steamy, sweet, and highly entertaining, pick this one up!

Beneath, You're Beautiful (Beneath #2) by Tori Madison

Kara's Review 

remember when I read this book in June of 2014?

I have been waiting on PINS & NEEDLES for THIS book.  Tori pulled out all the stops and made a home run with this book. The writing is great.  The characters are real.  The setting is my home state (Minnesota!).  There is just so so so much I really like about this story.... I want ALL OF YOU TO READ IT. 

**Yes it is about cancer.  but please don't let that scare you - it really is about love & character (who you are when no one is watching).  So read Tori's journey... and I will be here to hold your hand.

Excerpt

Four words continue to haunt me . . .

You. Have. Breast. Cancer. 

I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.

So, here I am, in the midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of my shattered marriage and attempting to piece the rest of my life back together. With three amazing friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’ finish line is coming into view.

And then . . . there’s him. The man I never anticipated. The one who breathes hope and meaning back into my life. A man who kisses my scars and shows me that I’m beautiful. I never expected him. Hell, I never expected cancer. I’m finally ready to write my future, a future I never planned on, but one that is sure to exceed anything I ever imagined.
