Wow! Great book! Very erotic like stated on the cover! Good continuation of the first! Slightly excessive with the paddling in the story, but still fun! "Harvy" liked it too! (Note to self: buy more batteries!) (show less)

No, it's a flop!

I was so bored........it seemed more comical that erotic.....for some reason it reminded me of the story 'Candide'

  Anne Rice (published originally under the nom de plume of A.N. Roquelaure) dives headfirst and unapologetically into S/M eroticism in her "Sleeping Beauty" trilogy, of which Beauty's Punishment is the second installment.

  Anne Rice (published originally under the nom de plume of A.N. Roquelaure) dives headfirst and unapologetically into S/M eroticism in her "Sleeping Beauty" trilogy, of which Beauty's Punishment is the second installment. Described by the publisher as "an erotic novel of discipline, love and surrender for the enjoyment of men and women," there's no sugar-coating it here; this book contains page after page after page of intensly vivid and graphic scenes of s/m, sexual humiliation, bondage, spankings. The trilogy is an erotic update of the Sleeping Beauty fable; Beauty is a sexual slave who rebels against her masters and in this installment she is sent, along with her forbidden love Prince Tristan, to a village where rebellious slaves are ceaselessly humiliated, degraded and...well, treated like sexual slaves... in an effort to break down their willful natures. Its unapologetically pornographic, so be forewarned if you're thinking about checking it out. Its nice to see a writer of Rice's stature willing to craft an erotic story that leans heavily on the pornographic and isn't afraid to immerse itself in one of the admittedly deeper and darker corners of eroticism and desire. However, I would recommend starting with the first book, The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty, if any of this sounds like its...um...up your alley. (show less)

  I didn't read this one very thoroughly but I read it nonetheless.. My opinion is still much the same as my review of the first book.

At one point the story got a bit more interesting with one of the prince slaves Tristan as he learns his true inner struggle and a master he can love.. and then his is captured by the same sheik that Beauty is. I am curious about the next book but I dont know when I will read it. (show less)
