This is all the rage and for good reason! It is captivating and thrilling. If you want a good vampire story then this is the one for you! Being let into a vampire’s life isn’t a small deal.

Thank you Entangled Publishing for sending me an e-arc.
This isn’t a typical vampire romance, it’s definitely not twilight either.
As a rich eligible bachelor vampire, Julian needs to get married. Unfortunately, when he meets the human Thea, he’s not interested in following the vampire traditions anymore.
This book is full of ups and downs, took me right into the vampire world and its etiquette. I absolutely loved the steamy romance and the innocence of Thea on the other side. I can’t wait to read more of those filthy rich vampires and their community.
The small cliffhanger at the end… I definitely could have done without. At least I can keep reading the next instalment.

I feel like Filthy Rich Vampire is a story we've all heard before at this point. It was a fun read but I don't think I'll be continuing with the series. For the right audience, however, I can definitely see the appeal of this one.

I have read a decent amount of vampire books, and I have also read a decent amount of series where romantic interest/steam doesn’t build until books further in the series. This one for me misses the mark on pace, romance, and characters. I don’t feel like the first book hooked me enough to see what the payout will be in further books unfortunately.

[Received the arc for an honest review! Thank you, Entangled!]

This book was not what I was expecting. There were so many things I truly enjoyed, and some I found a little predictable.
In the end, I'm curious to see how their story continues, s the book finished with so many unanswered questions.

I liked that Thea was so open to a new world, but at the same time, she was extremely reckless with her safety.
I didn't like Julian as much as I wanted to like, but I believe there are so many things that could explain his behaviour that I can't pass judgement.

Overall, it's a solid 3 stars for me. I do want to continue the series.

Sexy paranormal romance. Thea is a young cellist, barely making ends meet as she pays for school and her mother's medical bills. Julian is a wealthy centuries old vampire. Their worlds couldn't be more different. After being awoken from decades of sleep, Julian is unhappily thrown into the rites, where he will be forced to take a familiar as a wife and to continue the family line. Then he and Thea meet, and the attraction is immediate. They come to an agreement: she will pose as his girlfriend to keep the others off his back, and he will introduce her to a whole new world. But this fake relationship could easily turn real, if only the entire world weren't against them.

I enjoyed this read. Julian is the classic sexy brooding vampire. Definitely controlling, but I'm not too against it in vampire romances. I'm eager for more lore. I find the vampire/witch origin story interesting, though you don't get the whole picture here. The Paris date was definitely a highlight of the story. I'd love to see more magic. Though there's no full on sex between the main characters, there are plenty of sexy scenes. They have great sexual chemistry, though their relationship is pretty fraught what with all the secrets Julian often refuses to share. Big cliffhanger ending. I will be picking up the next installment.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Filthy Rich Vampire was exactly the vampire book I have been craving. To give you an idea of the vibes: It was as if Twilight became Fifty Shades of Gray and then was turned back to a vampire story -- sans all the BDSM. In short, an average woman stumbles into the path of a very rich man (vampire), they cannot stay away from each other (for reasons), they begin an arrangement (fake dating) that leads to them actually falling for each other, he has reasons for protecting her innocence (virginity--it's a social construct, unless magic is involved), and then everything goes awry. The plot points sound familiar, yes? Trust me, it is EXACTLY the kind of book adults who read and loved Twilight as a teen would be feral over.

I loved the characters and I loved the possessiveness the FMC and MMC feel for each other. I love a good fake dating trope. I loved everything about this book. Filthy Rich Vampire was a five star read and and a 2.5 spice rating for me. I cannot wait to sink my teeth (see what I did there?) into the rest of the series!

This is my first book by this author and I liked it. The characters were interesting and I loved their dynamic, but the banter was easily my favorite part. The story was easy to follow and engaging. The slow burn is real!

The pacing of this book just didn’t work for me. I really did like the premise and I love a good damsel in distress story but I didn’t buy the insta-romance and it just felt off for some reason.

I loved this book, it was so much fun to read and the characters were so interesting! The only thing I wish is that it had some more spice. This is an amazing book if you want to read an interesting romance that is also simple!

When I saw this I expected something similar to the Twilight Saga and hesitated. Although there is a bit of a Twilight flare, it really tells its own story with a 50 Shades of Grey twist! I seriously couldn't put the book down!

The writing style was interesting, not one I've experienced before although this book was completely outside my norm. You read through Thea's and Julian's eyes and I'll admit it took a few chapters to get used to but it was certainly enjoyable during the sensual moments. I think it added more depth to the characters as well.

Although you know who will romance who very early on, what happens within the first and last pages definitely take you onto quite an adventure! This book highly exceeded my expectations, and I'm CRAVING for more!! I can't wait to jump into the next book!

This book, and all four in the series were 5 star reads! I couldn't put them down! The characters are easy to like or hate. And the developments in the story leave you unable to put the books down at all! Highly recommend!

Where do I begin! This book had me hooked from the first chapter. The spice is sublime, but I love this plot
We have, as the title states, a Filthy Rich Vampire , vivacious FMC, and oh so much scandal!!!

We have galas and blood orgies to sweet but smuty sexacapes! I have to say, I was so into this read that I immediately bought a physical copy and knew I was reading the entire series! It leaves us with a cliffhanger, so prepare yourself!!!!

Thank you too NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, for my ARC copy!

This books read like setup for more to come. I think the setup of the society was pretty interesting between witches and vampires and other supernatural creatures. Still a bit too long but interesting to have humans as familial. It did read like a pet but what I do know.

I love a good vampire book so I will always add them to my TBR. That being said this one wasn't my favorite, but it's still a decent vampire romance book! I liked different aspects of the story, like how Thea is a classical musician and plays the cello ~~ I used to play the cello in high school and wish I still did because it is definitely a beautiful instrument ~~ and the vampire family drama was entertaining. I didn't feel like this book hooked me until the end and I'll certainly continue the series to see what happens next.

I’m a sucker for a morally grey vampire who is helplessly in love with the feisty human. Filthy Rich Vampires is that and so much more. From the complexity of Thea’s lifestyle and her finding herself with Julian to the vampire who swore off all love. This book makes vampires even more glamorous that I already wanted them to be and exposed a much darker side of magic and birthrights. The ending was magnificent in the gut punch kind of way. The second installment cannot come soon enough.

Can I have the next one? This was full of banter and well vampires of course. I loved every single page until the end. Man you can't help but fall for Thea and Julian I was hooked until the last page.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience

I love Thea and Julian. Totally wasn't what I expected. This book is fun and fills my "vampire lust". I was wishing that it would "Get to the good stuff" sooner (not the smut), but the how and the why. I just had to be patient. Read in one sitting and immediately jumped into book 2. This is a new to me author and I'm not disappointed at all.
