"Can a Beast woo a beauty to give her virginity to him?"

Betty dreams of finding love with a prince, someone to sweep her away from her dreary life with her widower father. Until then, she enjoys her sexual escapades with the handsome but idiotic butcher's son and watching other couples engage in sexual fun. Betty won't sacrifice her virginity, but she's done just about everything else. Her father, of course, thinks his little girl is pure in every way.

Betty's father Henry doesn't want his daughter to know of his "needs", so he sets off to a nearby town for some relief. As Henry is quite drunk, he loses his way and ends up in a strange mansion. After eating the food set out and spending the night, Henry is shocked to discover that he has intruded on the domain of a vicious Beast. An enraged Beast who intends to get his revenge by taking Henry's life. When Betty encounters this scene, she offers to work off her father's debt.

The Beast has been waiting for someone like Betty for years. A woman pure of body is what he needs to end the spell that has turned him into this monster. If she willingly gives her body to him, he will revert to his natural form. Now, if he can just control his lust around her long enough to woo her. Hilarity ensues as the Beast bumbles his way through attempts at romance.

Filled with Mr. Carpenter's twisted sense of humor, BETTY AND THE BEAST is a fun ride. Don't expect a serious love story, but if you enjoy slapstick, madcap scenes, you'll love this latest "Quickie" from Ellora's Cave. An unexpected plot twist near the end will have readers howling with laughter. Fans of the outrageous should definitely snatch up this tale.
