Gisella Trelain is 21 years old and has lived with her disgusting uncle after her parents died a year ago. She decides to leave and become a Priestess of Light like her parents always wanted her to be. It would get her out of the house and make both her parents proud.

Tristan is the rightful ruler of Rigel Nine. He has looked for a woman that could rule by his side. One that was strong, brave and as lustful as he is.

After the unusual good bye with her uncle, Gisella thinks that she is headed to the spaceport but instead is brought to “Erogenous Zone”. She has been sold to man named Fat Sam who is as appealing as his name. Luckily, she is sold to a man that will take her to his “Master”. Tristan was cursed many years ago and now becomes a monster once a month. His servants must bring him a woman during that time and hope that she can live long enough to break the curse. Is Gisella that woman that can save him or will she becomes just another set of bones?

Taming the Beast by Evangeline Anderson reminded me a bit of Beauty and the Beast but with a sexual twist. You have the loyal servants who are very dedicated and try to defend him. You have the beast known as Tristan that has given up on being saved until a small woman comes to rescue him from his prison. Gisella has been set free from one prison to the next so she has nothing to lose. She decides that one of them should be free and tries to help him. Taming the Beast is extremely explicit when it comes to the sex scenes. If that is not your cup of tea, stick with water.
