A Circlet Press Erotic Fantasy Anthology. If you thought the end of Beauty and the Beast was awesome--you know, when the Beast we've all fallen in love with turns into some boring ol' human--then you've picked up the wrong book. The stories in this book are about beastliness, as well as beauty, and the fragility and glamour of both. "Bête Noire" by Annabeth Leong is a Western about survival, revenge, and the kind of love that hurts you while it shapes you. "The Day the Mirror Told the Truth" by Neil James Hudson takes us down a rabbit hole where "Beauty" is a drug, and its use is both thoroughly understandable and utterly unforgivable. "Bed and Breakfast" by Sita Bethel starts with an accident, and becomes an intricate, often funny, dance of misunderstanding and unbridled lust. Rose P. Lethe writes "Victim Beyond Recall" like a seduction, drawing you in slowly and inexorably until you, like Poppy, are so deep in danger that you can't escape, even if you wanted to. "Outcast" by TJ Minde is a simple story about two people falling in love in spite of the odds, and it features a bookworm farmer, and lots of man-on-man-beast action. Finally, after waltzing through our romance, and sliding down a rainbow of sexuality, we end up in "Deflowered" by Avery Vanderlyle. No spoilers, but it's silly and hot and you won't be disappointed.
