Olivia Martin and Chuck Walsh have chemistry. Too much chemistry, perhaps. Their every interaction as a couple either lights the house up with sexual tension or burns it down with anger. After one huge, very public fight, they finally break up for good. Or so they think. Someone was filming their dramatic argument in the street and—because Olivia’s parents were Hollywood royalty, and because Chuck’s an actor whose star is on the rise—the video goes viral. When Name Your Price, a reality game show, sees the footage, they invite Olivia and Chuck to shoot a very unusual challenge: Live locked in a house together for one month and they will be paid a million dollars. Each.
Olivia really needs the money if she's going to keep her beloved grandmother in her nursing home, and Chuck is desperate for any chance to win Olivia back. So the game is on—even as the show tries to pluck every nerve with only one bed, one bathroom, and a set of rules that will lose them money if broken—including no touching. With stakes that have never been higher and their explosive chemistry at a fever pitch, can Chuck and Olivia keep it together (and their hands off each other) for one month? Find out next week on Name Your Price!

James's (The D�j� Glitch) latest offers a tantalizing twist on the forced-proximity trope in romance. After a recent breakup, Hollywood darling Olivia Martin is presented with an opportunity. A reality TV show proposes that she and an ex spend a month together in a house; if successful, they'll each win a million dollars. The catch is that the ex in question is rising movie star Chuck Walsh, whom Olivia just broke up with in spectacularly public fashion. Olivia is hoping to forge a new path for herself, and this kind of financial prize could be a real boon, but is it worth putting her heart on the line? Nikki Massoud provides a lively and engaging narration of this second-chance romance, making the most of the comedic twists, witty banter, and simmering chemistry. Even so, listeners may tire of the premise, which creates contrived arguments and detracts from deeper character growth. VERDICT While listeners seeking a more layered story may be disappointed, this rom-com should appeal to those who enjoy lighthearted romances in the vein of Maggie Knox's All I Want for Christmas.--BreAnn Weeks
