Reviewed by Lynnfor TheRomanceReviews.comDYING TO LOVE HER explores a nontraditional view of love in the vampire world and what sacrifices people are willing to make in the name of love.Melanie thought she was a little overweight so she decided to join a gym. Empriva Fitness had an amazing reputation with guaranteed results. What she didn't know is that the rapid weight loss experienced by clients of Empriva Fitness is the result of a special enzyme that increases metabolism--and that this enzyme is created by a vampire's bite. Melanie doesn't mind so much because the bite feels good and the two men, or vampires, who want to bite her are gorgeous.Of course biting isn't the only part of the weight loss plan; there also has to be sex. Again, Melanie is willing to make whatever "sacrifices" she must to lose some weight. But Alec and Rook, the owners of Empriva Fitness, are keeping a secret from Melanie--she is the key to their humanity. Now that they have found Melanie they have a limited amount of time to get her to understand everything that is happening and accept them both into her life.For me, this book was fun above all else. Melanie is thrown into this crazy situation and given all of this unbelievable information in a very short period of time. In her mind she is so focused on losing weight that she isn't able to process some of the heavier information being given to her. Alec and Rook want to make her a permanent fixture in their lives and she is worried that if they stop biting her she won't lose weight. There is a great deal of humor that arises from the misunderstandings, the time crunch, the sometimes too straightforward approach of Rook, and the instant and unexplainable sexual attraction.The dynamic and differing personalities between Rook and Alec were also a complete pleasure to read. While there were some serious elements thrown in--Rook and Alec's existence depends on their ability to connect with Melanie--this book was mostly light and a complete joy to read.
