288 pages

"Las Vegas knows how to party, and for once, event planner Liv McKay won't be entirely behind the scenes. The Dixie gang is in Sin City to celebrate Mama and Earl's rockin' Elvis-themed wedding. And between juggling the botched bachelorette party and a problem-plagued soiree back home, Liv's ready to double down on some fun.

"Mama & Earl's happily-ever-after seems like a sure thing, but all bets (and nuptials) are off when they get to the Burning Love Wedding Chapel. Their Elvis-impersonating minister has left the building...permanently. and even worse, Liv's cousin, Little Junior, is suspected of his murder.

"With Mama's happy ending on the table and Little Junior about to lose it all, the stakes are higher than ever. Liv and her best friend, Di, must hit the Strip to find the real killer before he finally plays his ace..."

This was a hoot!  Vickie is a funny lady as well as a friend of mine.

Sadly Ms. Collins passed away on September 19, 2015 of breast cancer, two weeks before her 78th birthday.

I will miss reading and listening to her stories. 

A word of warning, these stories have strong language that might offend some readers/listeners.
