Dana was tired of her relationships always going wrong. After attending a sex toy party, she's hooked and takes a secondary job selling sex toys. She needed the release selling the toys offered and managed to find herself in the process. Bolder now, she takes her future in her own hands, risking her job and finding that special someone she had always fantasized about.

Toys 4 Us, like all of S.L. Carpenter's novels, is well-written and erotic. This wonderful tale has very likeable characters an erotic plot. And boy, did I learn about some new sex toys I had no idea were out there, but intrigued me enough to try one day. A great story and highly recommended.

Betty wants an adventurous life but finds fumbling with Ralph as good as it gets. Until the day her father goes missing in his search for an escort. Stumbling into an opulent castle, which he mistakes for a brothel, he is quickly set straight by the hero with a three foot tongue, the Beast. When Betty locates her dad, the Beast sees her as a way to break the curse and return him to his true form. However, his plans don't turn out quite how he expected.

What a truly amazing book, S. L. Carpenter mixes fornication with fun against a send-up of a much loved fairy-tale. In three words, fast and funny. Betty is a progressive heroine for her time and the Beast is an absolute scream. Trust me. I raced through to the end and was sorely disappointed when it ended. At 45 pages it isn't nearly long enough but credit to Mr. Carpenter, he manages to fit EVERYTHING in. The plot is simple, the story tight and the jokes never stop rolling in. The characters are, without a doubt, one of the best casts ever, from the Beast down to Betty's father Henry. If you want an enjoyable yet explosive read, choose this book.
