Brooklyn James should know better.Born into Hollywood royalty, the brooding prince has a reputation as being a player. A manwhore. A womanizer.Adoring fans are his thing.His best friend’s little sister is not.Even thinking about her the way he is isn’t cool.Not cool at all.And yet every time she pouts those sexy lips at him, she turns him inside out. Makes him harder than he’s ever been. Drives him to the brink of insanity.
Amelia Waters has always idolized her big brother, and the last thing she wants to do is disappoint him. Falling for her brother's ex-roommate is off-limits. She knows this, but she can’t help herself. The way Brooklyn looks at her with those smoldering blue eyes makes her wet in an instant. Turns her into a shivering, shaking mess of sexual frustration. And soon the idea of spreading her legs for him is the only thing she can think about.
She wants him.He wants her.
When they finally decide to give in to their insane attraction, they agree it will remain between them. That their illicit affair will be short-term. No strings. No baggage. No messy ending.
But when the first night of mind-blowing sex leads to another, and another still, how long can the endless hookups go on before Amelia’s brother finds out? Or worse yet, before feelings develop?
Brooklyn and Amelia know they need to walk away from each other before either of those things happens.
The problem is doing it.
Talk about a mess.
Hollywood Prince is a sexy, standalone, contemporary romance about a bad boy and the off-limits girl who steals his heart.

I’m going to start this off by saying Brooklyn made me cry. I wasn’t expecting that. Not the Brooklyn we had seen in “No Pants Required” and “Bedwrecker”. This Brooklyn was so much more than a playboy and it was hard not to fall in love with Sir Towhead.
Amelia, Cam’s little sister, flees NYC after she discovers the real reason why her parents divorced and Cam fled to the other side of the country. Hoping to gain some clarity from her big brother, she discovers she the only shoulder to cry on is her brother’s best friend’s little brother, Brooklyn. What she discovers with Brooklyn is the vision she had of her Mr. Right was very different from the real prince who meant to be her HEA.
Brooklyn, son of Hollywood stars, an ex-reality TV star, current lifeguard and playboy is looking for how he fits in the world. He doesn’t like the direction his life has been going and he’s looking to grow up. He’s hoping to do that with his first attempt at a screenplay, but he discovers all he needed to grow up with the support of a good woman.
I loved Brooklyn and Amelia together. Both of them seemed to be floating around trying to figure out who they wanted to be. It wasn’t until they spent some time together that they figured out what they wanted to do. It was the encouragement of someone who wasn’t related. Who didn’t have a vested interested in telling them what to do that finally got each of them to look at themselves through a different lens. It was refreshing and also a little heartbreaking when both of them seemed to stand in their own way of a HEA.
This was my favorite of the interconnected books between best friends/siblings. There was so much more to Brooklyn that I looked forward to seeing what else we discovered about him. He had depth, a huge heart and a burning need to not be his father. All that together made it impossible not to love him. And even though I enjoyed Amelia as well, it’s Brooklyn that stayed with me after I finished the book.
