Guilty Pleasures is the name of a club that's important to the plot. Deceptive, isn't it?
My gut reaction was no, but thinking about it some more I'm less sure, though you might have to read some of the series to get anything out of it. In particular, the creepy-sexy vampire romance lead doesn't seem to have been originally intended as a romance lead; the protagonist rejects him repeatedly through the first few books to the point of actually going no contact when she doesn't have to deal with him for work.
So, if you were interested enough to read the first several books, the evolution from unromantic-borderline-stalker to love interest could potentially be interesting in terms of genre evolution, and the evolution of the vampires in general from more classic to more paranormal romance types.
Eg. The villain of the first book is a child vampire played for horror, and a lot of tropes that aren't often used in contemporary paranormal romance are used, for instance, making eye contact with vampires is always dangerous and you can tell, looking at them, that they're dead at the beginning of the series. As the series goes on, the vampires get less creepy and disgusting, and the protagonist gets powerful enough things like avoiding eye contact get less important to her.
However, the quotient of sex and rapiness also goes up as the series goes on, and the writing quality goes downhill, so YMMV.
