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!

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.

This was such a great concept for a book. i lovedddd the romance and i would definitely recommend this book! there were some things i would have changed but regardless what a great romance

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.
