This book had so much potential! Unfortunately, it didn't live up to it.The hero is a vampire needs to marry a rich woman otherwise he'll be disowned and lose everything ie: a castle in Moldavia. He meets up with a woman who won the lottery, and who has agreed to go on TV is a reality show called Dream Girl.Where this book goes wrong is that the heroine meets his brother before she meets the hero. She has so much more chemistry with the brother than she does with the hero, so the hero seems like second best. Eventually the brother shows his evil side, but the book never recovers from her attraction to him in the first place.Then we're given a taste of the hero lusting after the woman who owns the place in Fiji where the reality show is taking place. Melody is the heroine's name. But this hero looks at this other woman, Serenie, and `wishes Melody could be more like her.' He holds her hand, kisses her forehead, wraps his arm around hers while walking and even admires her back view as she walks out of his room after dropping off towels.Some hero.Is this a romance?Then when the heroine meets the hero again (after the heroine seeing him with the other woman) she thinks it's her fault for allowing another bachelor on the reality show to kiss her! It seemed to me that the hero would cheat on her at the first moment if Serenie set her mind to it. Which is really sad.As I say, this book had a lot of potential, and this to start off with, ruined it for me. So you can imagine when the sex scenes came, they just had no chemistry. DNF.
