what can i say... the ideas in the book are interesting, it's what kept me reading. but the quality was horrible. feels like i was reading the draft of a book. some things could have been fleshed out a lot more. some things were rushed... repetitive! god's blood it was repetitive!! lol. i give the ideas 3/5. quality 2/5. would i read it again. no... recommend it? well, maybe not. annoyed me for the most part. especially the dumb rushed ending.

I was really liking this book straight from page one.I found myself laughing out loud at a few things, but as the story carried on laughter turned into frustration and annoyance. Shanna basically cried through the entire book. It was nerve wrecking, every little thing bought tears to her eyes. I did like Roman he was definitely an interesting character as well as a few others. The Highlanders really peeked my interest. I hope they get books of their own. This series will probably be one I read

Although I'm only halfway through, I feel compelled to post a review. To compare, I like this a lot more than the annoying "Sookie Stackhouse" novel though it sort of reminds me of it. There are two extremely annoying things about this book:
1. "God's Blood!" This is the phrase that the main character utters every other paragraph. It was mildly cute the first time, annoying the second time, and by the 2,456th time I gladly would have dug out my eyeballs with a rusty spo More...

Dentist Shanna Whelan is having a rough time. Currently in the witness protection program she has no idea that she was the actual target of the hit that killed her friend. When vampire Roman Dragonesti loses a fang while testing a realistic "blood donor" doll, he needs a dentist who works the night shift. But when he goes to Shanna's office, he discovers it's under attack by an old enemy. Worse, Shanna is able to resist his mind control so he can't wipe her memory. So he takes her home

She started a new life in New York City as a dentist in SoHo, working the night shift at a 24hr clinic. It has been a long time since anything interesting has happened in her life, but that all changes when Russian hitmen AND a gorgeous stranger show up at her clinic on the same night.

Romance novels have always been my dirty little secret—maybe it’s the Disney Princess in me all grown up and still believing in true love. But this series is one I love more for the characters than for the plots or even the genre. The book begins the “Love at Stake” series; each book a different character in the overall story. This particular book begins the story of Roman Draganesti, the inventor of synthetic blood, and how he meets his wife. Sparks has several characters from varying countries

Roman Draganesti has spent much of his long life thinking of himself as a demon abandoned by God. After confiding his secrets to a woman he loved, she tried to kill him, leaving Roman wary of mortal women. But now, Shanna Whelan has entered the picture. Shanna is a dentist currently in the Witness Protection Program after witnessing a brutal murder performed by the Russian mafia. However, they've tracked her down, and it seems the only person able to help her is Roman, her mysterious savior.

Roman was a sixteenth century monk before he became a vampire. In the ensuing five hundred years, he has remained pretty monkish: trying to make the world a better place, and dedicating himself to the science of healing. Which is how he came to invent synthetic blood, which is how he became a corporate magnate, which is how he became filthy rich. Yes, he is kind of a broody, despairing vampire; but he is broody like a monk with a hairshirt. There's no actual bad behavior, just lots and lots of h

I laughed at the title when I first came across How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire on the internet. The title suggested a funny book that should not be taken very serious. But, oh man, was I wrong to judge this book by its title! How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire is a novel about a female dentist under the witness protection program and a super-genius vampire who has made great advances to the vampire and human communities. The romance in this book is somewhat fast paced, but the pace is unders

I feel like I need to explain why this is even in my books, so: I used to work in a used book store and wanted to read at least one book from each genre so that I could have something to recommend. Romance novels are not my preferred type of book, but the premise of this one was too ridiculous to put back on the shelf.

I am not a fan of cheesy romance stories. I can take internal questions, but after and fifth time of 'How can I love him?'/'How can I not love him?' I want to throw in the towel. This story really had potential but was ruined by a B rated, superficial, thrown together romance.
Editors: Please stop allowing the same internal dialog. Ask your writers to be a little more original in their hurried up, 3-day, love at first sight internal conflicts, or ask them to be a little more real More...

This book tried too hard to be funny. I’ll admit, there were one or two points during the story that I laughed but for the majority of the time, I thought the humour was childish and made the characters seem very imbecilic.

For starters, How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire is a great title. I started laughing before I even knew what it was about. I kept imagining this self-help book giving steps on how to first find a vampire, making sure he was a millionaire, then finally the details on how to make him marry you. Of course, it's none of that and it's actually a paranormal romance about a dentist and a vampire. Yes, he's a millionaire.

I was lucky enough to win this, and the rest of best selling author Kerrelyn Sparks‘ back catalogue, through an Avon romance competition a few weeks ago. I have to say that I was a little dubious about the books, given that I’m not generally a huge romance reader, and vampires tend to hold very little appeal for me. However, I cracked up laughing when I read the blurb to How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, and knew that I was going to have a fun time with this book. See for yourself:

I got this as an ARC from the Romantic Times Convention back in 2005. So it has a different cover and blurb. The interesting thing about the blurb is that it calls the book a vampire comedy. I didn't laugh once during the whole book. Comedy fail.
