In Beauty, former beauty queen Jolee Mercier finds herself in big trouble, locked in the trunk of her husband’s BMW on her way to a remote location in the woods of northern Michigan where she’s going to be killed. Her crime? Knowing too much. An anonymous letter arrived addressed in her name with proof that her husband, Carlos, a state logging and mining mogul, had been the one responsible for her father’s death years earlier, killed for supporting the unions at a local logging camp. When a terrible accident ends her husband’s plan to kill her, Jolee wakes up alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods, rescued by a masked man they call “the beast,” with a husband who wants her dead, and miles of state forest between her and civilization.
In Briar Rose, although her dreams are filled with sensual imagery, and she’s often awakened with a throbbing sense of release, Rose has never had a sexual climax—at least, not while conscious. When she’s forced to confess her faked orgasms to her fiancé on the eve of their wedding, she finds herself alone, abandoned and suicidal—until her aunt gives her a business card with the name of a special clinic. Rose has undergone all sorts of physical and mental examinations in the past, but her aunt assures her that this place is “different.” Desperate for a solution, Rose decides to give it one last try, and finds that Dr. Matt, as he insists she call him, is indeed very different from any other person she’s ever met, and he’s determined to get to the bottom of her problem—one way or another.
In Goldilocks, Goldie Lax is a safecracking prodigy who learned her craft from her father and her grandfather before him. When she pairs up with Richard Campbell, who can hack any system, together they make the perfect team, mixing both business and pleasure. When Goldie’s grandfather, who survived the holocaust only to end up a nursing home in his eighties, tells her about a horrific crime that robbed a good friend of his family’s inheritance, Goldie enlists Campbell’s help to recover the diamonds. The three Behr brothers have stolen something too precious for words and Goldie, safecracker extraordinaire, and Campbell, their head of security, have hatched a foolproof scheme to get it back, but the long, involved plan may just complicate their relationship beyond repair.

Overall a solid 3.5. The ideas were all good but not all were well executed... Plus they all seemed to end a little abruptly; which was sad since I actually enjoyed Goldie...
Beauty - meh... 3 stars. I liked it and the metaphor was a lil deeper than expected but still a classic retelling... even - sigh - boring at times. Jolee just didn't grab me.
Goldie - 4 stars. Felt like it ended a bit suddenly but the sex was hot and the the premise amusing. The end was a little corny but what can you do.... Pausing halfway through had my mind running away with Goldie and the three Behrs :) Alas it was not to be... A good retelling tho; Goldie was fun :)
Briar Rose - 3 stars. an exciting premise that had me sitting up straight but it turned out to be a lil boring :( That made me more sad than the actual story did. It wasn't bad, I actually did like it for itself but it could have been better; especially after the anguish of the first scene...
The happy endings were nice, if a bit cheesy but I guess that is the base of any respectable fairy tale, right?

Definitely a modern twist on classic fairy tales with lots of sex thrown in for good measure. I was able to read 8 different fairy tales (Beauty, Goldilocks, Briar Rose, Rapunzal, Red Alice, Gretel and Wendy) and some were better than others. My favourite was Goldie who is a safecracker doing a job for the three Behrs. The Alice one was also pretty good with the quirkiness of Wonderland opening up to all sorts weird and wacky characters and situations. I also found the Beauty was a nice love story. There's plenty of gratuitous sex throughout the different stories including vanilla, BDSM, homosexuality, weird trapeze hoist silver thread things (in Wonerland)...Something for everyone! I also got a free bonus book and a link to her mailing list that gives you 5 free titles. Sometimes you just want to read something down and dirty - that's when you read a Selena Kitt book.

this is an interesting take on Fairy Tales in a way that only Selena Kitt can do them. I was surprised that Goldilocks was not a menage--hee her--but her take was very unique so it kept me interested. Very hot of course, I mean we are talking Selena Kitt, and a very pleasurable way to spend an evening!
