Congrats to Limecello on her win!!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a copy of this anthology Juliana, which sounds excellent.
I think vampires are sexy in literature because of the sensual aura that surrounds them as well as their speed, strength and stealth.
There is something very enigmatic about vamps.

Shock and Joy!!! I’m so excited – thanks for having all these giveaways! Also, I’m pumped for the release of your book, Juliana!
As for what makes vampires so sexy… the whole forbidden aspect. And as Lea said – how they’re enigmatic, tortured… I think a number of people find vampires appealing because you want to "save" them and be the one that makes them happy. (Otherwise when you think about it… blood sucking? Eek. Not sexy!)

Congrats to Limecello!!!
Are you kidding me… Vampires are the supreme sexiest!! From their gorgeous stare through my soul eyes, to they cool exterior but heated passion. The feeling they evoke to protect what is there to the tortured soul they carry. And let’s not forget how orgasmic their bite can be. What girl does not want that!!!
Thanks for the chance at winning this book!

Congratulations Limecello!
For me the vampire appeal is how strong and secure they are. I like a man that is sure of himself and doesn’t take crap from anyone. That is a given with a vampire.
Comment
Vampires are sexy because they are so sensual and seductive. NATURE OF THE BEAST sounds like an excellent anthology. Count me in!
Comment
I think it has to do with the mystery and danger.
Comment
I love Hannah Howell! Vamps are sexy because of the danger element. It’s nice knowing they have hearts, despite the brutality of their species.
Comment

This anthology looks fab. You’ve got to love a tortured soul & vamps have that in spades – dark & mysterious & damn sexy. A little bit of danger always adds to the turn on too LOL
Comment
vampires are sexy because Anne Rice and Brad Pitt
Comment
The danger, the mystique, the eternity ~~ it all adds up to sexy and dangerous for me ~~ I lov me a good vamp!!
Comment
They’re sexy because they’re powerful, dangerous, immortal – they’ve lived so long they’ve had plenty of time to learn how to please a woman.
Comment
Well….Because they are vampires, of course! What other explanation do you need?
Comment
I think vampires are incredibly sexy because of the air of mystery and nobility that surrounds them, although most of the vampires that I like have an air of quiet strength and loneliness and that makes me want to comfort them.
I also think that the fact that vampires are what we shouldn’t want in a man,and that is what makes them so alluring.
Congrats Limecello!
