Taking a cue from reality shows, TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE follows Roxanne, a schoolteacher and Jake, a millionaire bachelor who got married on national TV via To Marry A Millionaire contest.There might be SPOILERS here:An auspicious beginning that turned out to be flat, even unbelievable at times like dealing with the mob and a bookie with a heart. Somehow, this bookie which remained in the shadows was a very important of the story and his relationship with Roxanne was never explained. A bookie as an angel?There were so many chances that could have made the story very interesting yet the characters remained two-dimensional even with the challenges thrown their way.Perhaps this was a case of too many cooks spoiled the broth. There was too many villains introduced that there was no time to create a believable and heart tugging conflict.This books is rated PG 15 due to situational drama. There were two sex scenes in the book which were actually just implied and not acted out. They were not graphic.
