LOVED it. Spicy, funny, flirty and filthy. This book was entertaining and full of laughs. Enjoyed the twist on classic vampire romances and enjoyed the vampire himself! What a unique world the story was set in.

A fun little book if you like vampires and the rich. An enjoyable way to spend an afternoon - but not if you don’t like cliffhangers!

Geneva Lee's Filthy Rich Vampire thrusts readers into a whirlwind of opulence and intrigue, blending the allure of vampire lore with a young adult romantic fantasy. The plot revolves around a centuries-old vampire who becomes irresistibly drawn to a twenty-two-year-old musician, setting the stage for a narrative steeped in drama and excess.

The story is undeniably entertaining, offering a ride through a series of shocking and extravagant twists that keep the reader hooked. The author's flair for dramatic detail ensures that each turn of the page is packed with jaw-dropping moments and larger-than-life scenarios, making for a highly immersive reading experience.

However, while the book excels in delivering entertainment and surprise, it leaves a lingering sense that something essential is missing. Despite the rich and engaging plot, there may be a sense of emotional depth or character development that feels slightly lacking. For readers who enjoy high-stakes romance and dramatic fantasy, Filthy Rich Vampire offers plenty of thrills, but those seeking a deeper connection or more nuanced storytelling might find themselves wanting more.

Excuse me while I go scream into the void after that ending!! Needing to get my hands on book 2 immediately!!

Could not put this book down!
If this is on your tbr go read it now!!!
I read it one sitting and omg was it good!

*Vampires and Witches
*Fated Mates
* Fake Dating
* Instant Love??
* Touch her and ☠️
First of all I think we can all agree with how much we dislike Sabine. I think when we read vampire books they all start to sound the same, but this one felt like a new idea and world. For me this was a Bridgerton meets Interview with a Vampire. I love the combination of vampires and witches though they aren’t magic wielding. I think that’s the only part that was a bummer for me. Other than that I love this book and about to start book 2 right now. I’m also not huge on insta love type tropes but Julian sir has flipped this into fated mates and I am so here for it. Now the ending!!!! I cannot believe the cliffhanger of that…. I have to know what was said in that meeting for him to just let Thea walk away like that. I have to know what happens next! Diving into book 2 ASAP!!!!

Title: Filthy Rich Vampire
Author: Geneva Lee

Review:

✨★★★★☆ 4.5/5 Stars

Geneva Lee’s "Filthy Rich Vampire" is a tantalizing plunge into a world where wealth, danger, and irresistible romance blend seamlessly to create an unforgettable reading experience. From the moment you step into Julian Rousseaux’s sophisticated, opulent, and perilous vampire society, you won’t be able to put this book down.

Julian Rousseaux’s problem is one many envy but few could handle: as one of the wealthiest vampires, he’s expected to find a wife during the rapidly approaching social season. His reluctance to participate in the vampire marriage market is palpable—Julian would rather face the threat of a stake than conform to these expectations.

Enter Thea, a cellist whose life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles into Julian’s world at a gala. Despite her innocence, kindness, and humanity—which make her an unlikely match for the brooding vampire—Thea becomes an essential part of Julian's plan. Julian’s offer to Thea is as irresistible as it is pragmatic: pretend to be his lover to ward off vampire matchmakers, and in return, he’ll protect her and help alleviate her mother’s crippling medical debt.

The chemistry between Julian and Thea crackles with intensity from the start. The unconventional arrangement soon blurs the lines between pretense and genuine emotion as they navigate the treacherous, decadent vampire social scene. Lee masterfully explores their evolving relationship, delving into forbidden desires, hidden vulnerabilities, and the awakening of emotions long buried in Julian’s heart.

The vampire world Lee crafts is as fascinating as it is dangerous. From lavish parties to the ever-present threats lurking in the shadows, Thea’s journey through this new realm is as captivating as her growing connection with Julian. Lee’s writing immerses the reader in a rich tapestry of dark magic, primal attraction, and breathtaking romance.

One of the standout elements of "Filthy Rich Vampire" is the depth of its characters. Julian is more than just a wealthy vampire; he's a complex individual with a deeply buried sense of longing and a protective streak that makes him both mesmerizing and relatable. Thea’s courage and kindness make her an instantly likable protagonist, whose vulnerabilities add a layer of realness to the high-stakes world she’s plunged into.

The book’s pacing is excellent, with each chapter unraveling new secrets and escalating the tension both romantically and in terms of external threats. However, some readers might find the plot twists somewhat predictable, though this doesn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyment.

In conclusion, "Filthy Rich Vampire" is a sumptuous blend of danger, sensuality, and romance that will sweep you off your feet. Geneva Lee has created a daring new world that is darkly enchanting and utterly addictive. If you’re looking for a story that combines the allure of vampire lore with the intrigue of high-society drama and heartfelt romance, this book is a must-read.

This book was quite entertaining. It also gave me nostalgia vibes. Reminded me of the story structure of Twilight and reading that as a teen. Not in a its-a-copy-of-twilight kind of way. just the same feels.

First time reading a book by Geneva Lee I thought it was a pretty good read. I did the audiobook of it. I liked the main character Julian and Thea. Love how you have old vampire mixed with waking up to this new advanced world and has to adjust to it.

What I didn’t like was how easy Thea was to follow and do everything asked or told of her. I do wish some scenes went into more detail. Really don’t like the nickname he gave her. Felt like some things should have more explaining or went into more detail like him wearing gloves etc.

What I did like was the Paris scenes. Thought it was pretty cool hearing her write in Beethoven and the opera. The spice level was good. Not overbearing.

Overall it was a good read!

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with the eArc for the printed version of this book. It was difficult to read due to the formatting so I actually ended up reading the book through Kindle Unlimited because I wanted to finish the story but found it hard to read on my phone. I'm a sucker (no pun intended) for a good vampire novel. This fit the bill for a fun, intriguing, sexy vampire story. Obviously the scenery and people were lush and beautiful because, as the title says, they are filthy rich. The author does a great job of making you care about the characters and you really start rooting for everything to work out for them. Of course, life isn't that easy. As soon as Thea meets Julian, her life is turned upside down and you know things will never be the same again.

This was an enjoyable story that was only marred by it's many typos and grammatical errors throughout all of the books in the series (and yes, I did go on to read all of the rest of the books after I finished this one). I'm hopeful that maybe these were corrected in the printed version.

It's a solid 3.5 that I'll round up to a 4 because, vampires.

DNF at 20%. This wasn't for me. I don't understand anything, the world building, the characters, just no. I did not enjoy it at all. I think the characters, conflicts and world building needed more depth to create an immersive read.

Thank you Entangled Publishing, NetGalley and Geneva Lee for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review

Fifty Shades of Grey with vampires! Julian is one of my top book boyfriends! This book is so good and the whole series is amazing!!! You do not want to miss out on this one.

If you need a book with so much suspense, plot twists, secrets and lust, this is the one for you! While reading, I couldn’t put the book down for more than 5 minutes without wanting to pick it right back up and see what was going to happen next. The 2 main characters were super likable! Thea, a cellist who is struggling to just get by in school and help her mom pay her medical bills after beating cancer, and Julian, the grumpy rich vampire who has just woken up from a 40 year sleep because it’s his turn to get married and help create new vampires. The love these characters ended up sharing was so pure, it wasn’t out of necessity or lust, but it was truly something so special and i loved every minute of this book. The cliffhanger however is very rude lol

Wait vampires are real? And I didn’t know it? And the dark brooding one is…. Hot?

I’m not usually into vampire paranormal romance post my twilight era, but Filthy Rich Vampires was surprisingly a couldn’t put it down kinda romance read. So much so I read the next book immediately after, and couldn’t put that one down either. With engaging and mysterious characters, mixed with letting out little tidbits at just the right time, Geneva Lee writes with an intensity that comes through the page. Even during what are meant to be “lulls” Lee continues to engage the reader, in a way that doesn’t make it feel like downtime in the book. The supporting characters still engage in the story, and everything feels intentional without being forced. Overall 10/10 would recommend, especially for those looking for a place to start with Lee’s extensive catalog. These books are spicy, but still have a great story that doesn’t get watered down as it goes along.

Thank you to the entangled team for this copy to review!

"Sensual, dangerous, provocative ― step into a daring new world of dark magic, primal attraction, and breathtaking romance."
This book delivered! I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy romance and look forward to more!

Forgot how much I love Thea and Julian. Such a cute little love story. It was gripping and couldn’t put it down!

This book started out SO strong. I was super intrigued by the thousand year old vampire that just woke up from a 40 year nap.
I enjoyed the FMC and how strong she was but she just fell apart throughout the book becoming a weak, tagalong character instead.
There were so many things that weren't explained and it felt frustrating to not understand why the vampire world was the way it was. Why they did certain things, etc.
I think the storyline could maybe hold the series together but I don't know that I'll continue this one.

Premise was interesting. Opening scene was very captivating. I enjoyed the characters for the most part and the writing was straight to the point with some prose. However, pacing was odd at times and it had a lull period around 30% through the book. Other than that, it was an okay read if you are into vampire romances

This book was so easy to fall into, it was definitely Twlight meets Gossip Girl. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next. As a bookseller I constantly think what I could recommend to fill the gap after finishing a book, this one is perfect for readers of Bride, or Court of the vampire queen.

Umm, scuse me.....I lost a week to this series. Forever, what have you done?!? This was a gem of a story that led to an absolute binge!!!

Its grown up Twilight with so much steam and I was here for it!!

Sorry for the late feedback, I forgot to leave my review! I really enjoyed this book where a struggling musician meets a centuries old vampire and pretends to be his girlfriend. She gets thrust into a beautiful but dangerous world. I enjoyed their romance and I can’t wait for the next book!
