Hollywood Games: A Grumpy Sunshine, Small Town, Steamy Romcom (The Kinloch Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 332 ratings

Brace yourself, Scotland. Hollywood’s coming…

Hot Earl Rory MacGinley and feisty redhead Zoe Maxwell are in love, but true love can’t save Rory’s ancestral home from falling down. When a Hollywood superstar lands on their doorstep wanting to film Braveheart 2 at Kinloch Castle, it sounds like a dream solution to all their problems. But it’s about to turn into an absolute nightmare.

A bonkers script that rewrites Scottish history, celebrities who believe in pixies and past lives, and a mystical holy man with nefarious plans. It’s not just the castle that's coming under siege.

With tensions running high and more drama behind the camera than in front of it, it’s up to Rory and Zoe to rewrite the script, save the castle’s future, and secure their happy ending.

When Hollywood meets the Highlands, things will never be the same again…

Hollywood Games is a laugh-out-loud, super-spicy, small-town romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily ever after and no cheating or cliffhanger. It can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed after the multi-award-winning romcom, Highland Games.

Review

'How much trouble could Hollywood bring to a small Scottish town? Answer: A LOT!
Prepare for laugh-out-loud, non-stop kooky fun and drama when one charismatic Hollywood megastar with a personality so OTT takes over Kinloch castle with all the accompanying entourage, including one very eccentric Hollywood starlet and a devious charlatan to stir up trouble.

Fall even more in love with your favorite characters from Highland Games with heart-felt emotions, family drama, laughs and oh-so-STEAMY romance!.'
- Katie Reads (Goodreads review)


'Evie does it again with another laugh out loud, super steamy rom com!! This is a book you'll want to savor, but devour at the same time. What a delightful and brilliant sequel!!! I loved it just as much as I loved Highland Games.

The story flows so nicely and is entertaining from start to finish! All of the scenes are written in such a way that it's like the pages came alive in my head. I felt like I was right there in Scotland with the characters as all the chaos and drama unfolds in the castle!

Zoe and Rory are my absolute favorite couple! I love how they banter back and forth. I love their sizzling, hot passion (that shower scene though ��) and how they always crave each other! I'm obsessed with them!'
- Lindsey Sinnett (Goodreads review)

I loved Highland Games but I loooove this one so much more! I could not wait to read more from the lives of Rory and Zoe and this did not disappoint. From the start, it is non-stop and laugh-out-loud funny and sooo steamy throughout! Evie Alexander has a writing style that is very down to earth yet brilliantly witty, you can relate with every character and it is as if you are standing right there with them. The author captured the essence of 'when it rains it pours' in this book. And the chaos of a film crew in a tiny Scottish village was so perfectly done, down to the food even! (Thank you for the shortbread recipe!)

The storyline here is fantastic- we return to Kinloch Castle, which is literally falling down around them, but the McGinley's are broke. When a Hollywood star wants to film his movie of Braveheart 2, Rory and Zoe have their financial prayers answered only to find out how much more trouble they've just gotten into. Some surprises you won't see coming in this one!
I cannot stop gushing about this book and I couldn't put it down. I really want to see this as a movie!'
- Jen (Goodreads review)


'This is even better than the first one!

It was so wonderful to read these characters again! I missed them. Especially Rory...(sigh).
This author has created a world that is easy to fall into and enjoy. Her ability to transport a reader to somewhere they've never been is wonderful. I swear I could actually see the castle! Rory and Zoe are (of course) the focus, but the other characters are well designed also. Easy to read and enjoy.

I really enjoyed the drama and the steamy chemistry. There's so much to enjoy in these pages. They flipped themselves and I was at the end of this book too soon for my liking!'
- Claudia Marie (Goodreads review)


'Hollywood Games really hits it out of the park. Like Highland Games, it's still a sweet love story, but this one made me laugh out loud. There is no down time in this one, something is always happening to keep the reader's attention, allowing me to finish this in one day.'
- Tori Ross (Goodreads review)

A laughing out loud sequel of Highland Games
Can their young love survive such an invasion … I am much sorry to have the same complain that I have had for my previous read, I feel bad for having read it so late (but life intruded in my reading schedule) when it was laying dormant on my shelves, even more as I knew it would be a good continuing story. So this is another romcom to not miss. I am not usually for a romance running through different books, yet for Rory and Zoe, in some way it was needed. Rory has such a past, so much bagages, the « I love you » by the end of the previous book was not enough. His insecurities and struggles among people plus his estate near ruin needed more time to come to a solution. And what an answer he gets. Oh my, from the moment the Hollywood machine is set in motion, it is catastrophe after catastrophe, so hilarious but so moving too as these two are the breathing air of the other. Rory despite Zoe’s reassurances is unsure of himself, his past and social name made him a commanding person, he is a born leader but for all things about the heart, he is a rookie. Making mistake after mistake, all of them because he loves Zoe but his inner caveman struggles to accept she is able to stand by herself, that he is her choice without him marking his territory. Zoe’s heart has only room for Rory, he is her person, but it won’t mean she will accept everything from him like his need to label her as his in front of everyone, still she understands his uncertainties when in front of Hollywood mega super star, why she tries so much to protect him when she knows only a tiny spark could ignite his temper and send him on a fit. I would recommend to read the first book to understand the dynamic of their relationship, even if part of it is explained, you would miss many hilarious but also moving key moments. 5 stars for this story, I think I enjoyed even more than the previous one, my heart was so touched by Rory’s love for Zoe, he keeps stumbling but it came from the bottom of his heart and Zoe understands his struggles so forgives him his missteps.

    In Hollywood Games, Zoe meets her longtime Hollywood crush, superstar Brad Bauer. To save Kinloch Castle, Zoe convinces Rory that filming Braveheart 2 at the castle is the answer to all their problems. But now Rory must contend with the odd cast of characters that threaten what he loves most. There will be shenanigans, chaos, and zaniness as Hollywood intrudes on the Highlands of Scotland.

    I love grumpy Rory who just wants to spend alone time with Zoe and is thwarted time and time again with all the people swarming his castle to make the movie. But when their schedules do align, there are sparks and steamy times aplenty between them.

    I adore Evie Alexander’s brand of romcom. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and doesn’t skimp on the steamy moments. The pacing was great and kept me laughing as each new wild event unfolded. And it didn’t hurt that we got an extended look into Rory and Zoe’s relationship. Big, bearded, grumpy Scotsmen seem to be my catnip.

    If you are looking for a super angsty book, this isn’t for you. But if you want a book to escape and laugh with, give this series a try.

    I’m looking forward to book 3 already.

    First read book one first. Book 2 is a continuation of Rory and Zoe's arc. I was expecting to read about another couple but it is mainly about Rory and Zoe. Book 2 basically sets up future couples with the main focus on R & Z. You do get to see the beginnings of several couples however when I got to book 3 thinking it would be about Jamie or Barbara no its Rory's friend Charlie which acted more as a throw away character with little read time about him or that something might be going one with him and Valentina. So that threw me off. If you can suspend your disbelief ( there are a lot of situations that would not happen in real life that are overboard) It's an entertaining series and will continue to read.

    Hollywood Games picks up where Highland Games left off. Rory and Zoe are still trying to figure out how to save the castle, and while Zoe's marketing prowess is starting to show some returns, it is not quick enough to tackle the mounting debt and repairs.

    Until Brad Bauer, Hollywood celebrity hunk, came into the picture.

    He wants to film Braveheart 2 at Kinloch, and Zoe sees this as a perfect opportunity to help with Rory's goals. When Rory finally agrees to bring Hollywood into town, he also finds out that not only has he opened his doors to complete strangers, but he has invited hilarious chaos into his life as well.

    If you are looking for pure romantic comedy, Evie Alexander is an absolute go-to for what you are looking for. This read brings absolute hilarity in the midst of chaos, and I am here for it. The wacky celebrity characters introduced in this book create the perfect satire of Hollywood and definitely keep our two main characters on their toes.

    On top of dealing with the new crazies in town, Zoe and Rory still have to come to terms with their relatively new relationship and what it means for their future. Don't worry; they still bring a lot of the spicy as they figure things out.

    This second trip to Kinloch did not disappoint. In fact, it has reinvigorated my love for this world and has me counting down to Valentina and Charlie's story in Book Three. This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading Highland Games to better understand the depth of Rory and Zoe's connection.

    If you loved Highland Games, then trust me Hollywood Games will not disappoint, because Zoe and Rory's story continues in the craziest way imaginable.
    Hollywood Games delivers everything you want it to...
    -Assertive Zoe's brilliant castle saving idea's
    -Brooding Rory's under kilt action
    -Cute antics from Basil
    It will also deliver something that even Kinloch wasn't quite ready for...enter Brad and his Hollywood entourage.

    After Highland Games my expectations for this were well...high. Safe to say it exceeded in every way. I LOVED it!

    This book is one of the best recommendations one gave give when asked for a romcom. It had plenty of romance, plenty of individual deliberations and best of all, so many actual laugh out loud moments.

    This is the second book in this series, and the author has done a great job of giving a complete HEA to the MCs, and in writing comedic scenes that played perfectly to each character's traits.

    I definitely recommend Highland Games and Hollywood Games if you want a movie type romcom which has plenty of romance and wholesome moments as well!
