The heat is on!

Part two keeps the flames burning. I suggest you read it with your partner, when neither of you have to work the next day, or the day after.

Not Free SF Reader

Beauty's Punishment is not as good as the first book in this trilogy, and does tend towards the dull side through reasonable portions of the novel.

Beauty and Tristan, having been busted in the act, so to speak, are auctioned off and sent to separate places for a bit more extreme discipline, having not learned to do as they are told and keep their favours for their owners.

So much better than the first! Much hotter & includes a storyline!

I really didn't care for the first book in this trilogy, but I was encouraged to read the sequel by several fans of the series... GOOD CALL! Immediately, I was amazed at the difference in these two books... Where as the first book seemed to be just one huge relentless spanking with no real character development or story, this book truly developed each main character by explaining events from their perspective AND included a rather interesting story line!

Although I had never given much thought to what a BDSM relationship must be like, Rice's descriptions were mind blowing! I was amazed at the internal battles these characters faced, as well as the torment they endured for the sake or earning approval. I was blown away by the relationship that Tristan formed with his master, as well as the differences in Beauty's and Tristans perspectives on their slave lifestyle. And FINALLY, I actually cared about what was happening to these characters! I found I didn't want to put this book down because I just had to know what was coming up next!

The erotic scenes were SUPER steamy, especially those centered around Tristan, and they actually tied into the development of the characters and the story. The end of the book actually included a great cliff hanger, which made me wish I had already picked up book three!

WARNING TO CONSERVATIVE READERS: This book is VERY explicit and includes some male-male as well as male-female-female interactions. If you don't like these types of materials, you may wish to stay clear of all the Beauty books. Otherwise, if you are open minded and want to read something with edge, this is a most interesting and unique read!

Punishment Is Sweet

After finishing Claiming I immediately started on Punishment. I was glued. Punishment introduces some very interesting characters as well. It, like Claiming, left me wanting more!!

This sequel to The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. Beauty, having indulged in a secret and forbidden infatuation with the rebellious slave Prince Tristan, is sent away from the Satyricon-like world of the castle. Once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.
