Double the vampires, double the fun.
Look out, Sin City—here they come!

Welcome to the first of THREE fang-tastic giveaways I have planned to celebrate the release of my super-sexy, bitingly funny paranormal romance MUST LOVE VAMPIRES!!!

If you haven’t already, mark your calendars for September 27th (or right around there, anyway) & grab your copy as soon as you can!

Yes, that’s a shameless plug for you to BUY THE BOOK! :elvira

But it’s also my way of giving you fair warning:  Giveaways #2 & #3 are going to require you to read the story & be familiar with the characters.  (Trust me, the prizes will be worth the hustle. :fanglips )

Giveaway #1 (i.e. this “Vamps in Vegas” Giveaway) is pretty much a freebie. :vegas

So here’s a picture of all the fang-tastic swag you could win by entering…

And since you probably don’t have super 200/200 vampire vision, here is a list of the…

CONTENTS of the “Vamps in Vegas” Giveaway

:bat2   bottle of Vampire Wine (Yes—it’s actual Vampire wine, & it is awesome.  This one is Merlot, & it has the cutest…I mean, darkest, scariest, bloodiest—raaawr! :littlevamp …little description on the back!)

:bat2   The classic & soooooo good cult favorite The Lost Boys on DVD

:bat2   “Welcome to Las Vegas” refrigerator magnet

:bat2   “Welcome to Las Vegas” notepad set

:bat2   Living the Life!:  The World of Elvis Tribute Artists

:bat2   Little Black Bats Ice Cube Tray (silicone for easy pop-out)

:bat2 Glow-in-the-Dark Fangs

:bat2   Vampire Blood antibacterial gel (which smells like Plum instead of blood, thank goodness)

:bat2   dog playing poker (of the plush (was going to say “stuffed” then thought blurg!) bulldog variety)

:bat2 Vampire Bite necklace Complete with ooey-gooey drops of blood!  (You have to look kind of closely for this one; it’s around the stuff dog’s neck.)

:bat2   etched glass Las Vegas ashtray (I mean, candy dish.  Yeah, it would be unhealthy to give you an ashtray, so you’re going to have to use this as a candy dish.  Luckily, the next item in this giveaway is…)

:bat2 set of Colorful Dice (for practicing Craps on the flight to Vegas :fuzzydice )

:bat2   set of Chocolate Playing Cards

:bat2   “Cash in on a Kiss” Lip Balm / “I’m Worth a Mint” sugar free peppermints (Both inside the same handy, showgirl-pink tin! :dancer )

:bat2 Vampire Fangs Whistle

:bat2   R.I.P. breath mints (Which do not—I have it on good authority—give you breath like a corpse.  Rather they’re meant to take care of that dreaded morning “death breath.” :coffin )

& last but not least…

:bat2   a little Rubber Devil Duckie (which has nothing to do with Vegas or vampires or MUST LOVE VAMPIRES, but is one of Mistress Heidi‘s Dungeon favorites)

:bat2   all inside a gorgeous Ed Hardy “Love is a Gamble” denim duffle bag

:batmoon

And because fine print can be a killer (worse than a bloodthirsty vampire, even! :face ), here are some…

Another delightful review to share for MUST LOVE VAMPIRES thanks to Missy at Night Owl Reviews:

5-stars and Reviewer’s Top Pick!

“Must Love Vampires is the tale of two twin sisters and two vampire brothers.  This book was fun and very entertaining.

The first story tells of Charlotte “Chuck” Lamore and is titled ‘Vampnapped!‘  I just love the title!  Chuck is a writer for the Tattler, a smutty paper that pays the bills. At least she gets to do something she loves to do—write.  So she is on her latest story, to prove that her sister’s (Chloe) boss, Sebastian Raines, is in fact a vampire.  The chance comes for her to get the proof when she subs for her showgirl sister one night so Chloe can sneak off to see her boyfriend Aidan Raines. Only things don’t go quite as she planned, & she may just get the interview of a lifetime with Sebastian Raines.

‘Married with Fangs‘ is the second story, and tells of Chloe, whose job as a dancer is killer on her knees.  Sure, it’s fun being a show girl, but having her butt pinched every time she turns around is just getting old.  And let’s face it, her knees are feeling the years of being a show girl.  Chloe wants to settle down and raise her son with a father in his life.  She thinks she has found that someone with Aidan.  Yeah, she works for his brother, but she really feels Aidan is The One.  So they sneak off to get married…after all, it is Vegas…only her new hubby has a secret of his own.

Wow!  I just love the two sisters and the so handsome brothers.  I must say that Chuck and Sebastian are my favorite characters.  I really enjoyed their banter back and forth.  Chuck is just so funny, you fall in love with her right off the bat.  The twins have different personalities, as do the brothers. They perfectly match each other.  This is my first book by Heidi Betts, and I can’t wait for more!”

Thank you, Missy!  And Night Owl Reviews!  I’m thrilled you enjoyed my Vegas vampires so much, especially if MUST LOVE VAMPIRES was the first of my books you’ve read.  That’s a double Yippee! moment for me. :dancer
