When I was offered the chance to read this book for free in exchange for an honest review, I thought why not, after reading the synopsis it sounded like this book would be a fun read, and it was.How clever to use a dating show as the platform for the two main characters to meet. The Tahiti back drop was beautifully depicted. It was easy to picture the scenes the author described;Melody is a shy, very pretty girl who finds herself in a impossible situation when she wins the lottery and becomes sought after by gold digging bachelor's. All she wants is her old life back and to be left alone to persue her dream of becoming a librarian. But fate has other plans. Guy is a Moldavian Count who has been given an ultimatum, find a bride and get married in the time allotted or lose his inheritance to his scheeming younger brother. Though Guy is drop dead gorgeous he is not without a flaw, a big one. He's a vampire! Guy on the Tahiti as one of the bachelor's is derailing Melody's plans to pick a bachelor and have a long engagement so she can blend back into the woodwork.This book is pure fantasy but a lot of fun to read. I wanted to give it 5 stars but there were a few passages that could have used editing, especially towards the end of the book. The ending seemed a little rushed.Both these issues could easily be corrected. With that said, I still found this book to be an enjoyable read.
