Description

A collection that includes all three novels in Anne Rice’s seductive retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story.

A spell has been cast upon a lovely young princess who sleeps, waiting for someone to save her. The Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty’s complete and total enslavement to him...

In 1983, Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquelaure, began the first installment of a series that is now considered a forerunner of erotic literature.  This collection—containing The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty’s Punishment, and Beauty’s Release—is a testament to Anne Rice’s irresistible talent, exploring the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic trilogy that makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.

Reviews

  • Too repetitive - book all about spanking

    By ShanMarieeeeee
    I usually love reading bdsm books but this book doesn’t do anything for me. It is too repetitive with all the spanking and being on all fours and just the same punishments over and over. I tried so hard to get through book 1 of the set to give it a real honest effort to get into it and I just couldn’t do it and that says a lot with me.

  • Fantastic!!!

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from this series but I was hoping for something nasty. Something to give me my own ideas. And boy did it ever. I have read this series three times through and love it more every time!

  • An instant favorite

    I didn’t even finish reading the first chapter of the first book and I was hooked! I looked for opportunities to squeeze in some reading even if it was a quickie. It did not matter if it was an entire page or a couple of paragraphs at a time until I had read the entire trilogy! An instant favorite series!

    I only sampled the book so I never really read past the 5th page. I could t get passed the part where this guy basically rapes her. Not my cup of tea but each their own. Just warning y’all just in case

  • Amazing.

    I read one review that said the story gets better if you read further, but I'm having a hard time looking past the rape and kidnapping. S&M is consensual, this book does NOT depict that.

    I absolutely love this book! If you can handle a little degradation, whips, and the taboo this isn't your book but if you do then read this book.

  • Don't compare!

    If you are looking for a book similar to 50 shades this is not it. This is the TRUE depiction of BDSM. Love is not often a part of the lifestyle. You are a slave, you wait on the Doms say so for everything. If that is "degrading" or a "turn off" don't read this. 50 shades is a good trilogy, but not a true depiction of BDSM. Do not compare the two, they are very different.
