Publisher Description

In the final volume of Anne Rice’s erotic trilogy, Beauty’s adventures on the dark side of sexuality make her the bound captive of an Eastern Sultan and a prisoner in the exotic confines of the harem. As this voloptuous adult fairy tale moves toward conclusion, all of Beauty’s encouters with myriad variations of sexual fantasy are presented in a sensuous, rich prose that intensifies this exquisite rendition of Love’s secret world and makes the Beauty series an incomparable study of erotica. In it, Anne Rice makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.

"This is the third book in the trilogy, and I suggest saving it for last so that you know the history. If you've read the other two, then obviously you're not bothered by literature containing fantasy sexual violence, various BDSM and the like. Again, as with all three of the books, the spankings get monotonous, but there are less scenes of those in this book than in the prior two. This book has yet another change in locale as Beauty and a few others are kidnapped from the village and taken to an Arabian kingdom. By the end of the book, all of the primary characters have some sort of closure, and the loosest ends are nicely concluded."

    " Very soft porn/erotica. Not especially noteworthy in any way except as to the author. The plot does occasionally lose vibrancy. Pretty good ending though, the ability to end a story well should never be overated. "

    " Again, the same pleasures, punishments, and tortures just a different location. Laurent and Tristan are the main focus of this book, Beauty is given scant few chapters and doesn't really show up until the end. The ending is merely okay. I just never felt emotionally invested in any of the characters or the story. My overall opinion of the series remains the same as it did for each book individually...didn't hate it, but didn't love it either. "

    " The third part of the trilogy, i couldn't stop. If you can get through the 1st two (that are also great), and by that I mean aren't put off by certain sexual subjects, you will really enjoy this. "

    " Book three really was more about Prince Laurent and Prince Tristan than Beauty. It dragged out a bit too much and I can honestly say I was glad that it was over. "

    " I don't really agree with Anne's "pain= pleasure" proposition. The idea of a reinterpretation of Sleeping Beauty loses force over three volumes. "

    " A book for pedophiles and rapists. Teenage sex slaves with stockholm syndrome. I read this because it was supposed to be like Fifty Shades. It is NOT. Rape is rape and should not be glorified in books. "
