Review: Unbelievable and Stiff
Rating: 3 out of 5

I really hate giving 3 star reviews, but on this one I simply must.  I feel like authors put so much of themselves into writing a book that it's got to hurt to get 3 stars.  First off, this is about the tenth romance book I've read this year with the word Millionaire in the title.  It's been the worst thus far.  You can tell the impact of the economy has so many of us readers dreaming of an easier life financially.  I almost didn't finish this book because I just could never get into it.  I was bored, the characters were stiff, and nothing was believable.  No one really expects their romance novel to be totally believable, but this goes way beyond the normal fantasy.  From how the main characters manages to get onto the reality show they meet on, how she reacts to the death of her gambling father, how she interacts with the Mob, how the male character lives his life, his constant consideration of her with no apparent flaws in his entire personality........  The only thing I did like about the book is that I believe her point is that all of the money in the world won't buy happiness and the main character was rich in other ways of life with her loving family and friends.  It's saddens me to do it....3 star book.
