Beauty's Punishment (Sleeping Beauty Series #2)

Beauty's Punishment #2 was just as good as the first.

As I said before in my reveiw of one, this can just be a read or a very very deep read. I would have to say it would depend on who you are. For those of us who have to make all the decisions and be incharge of things, just the thought of not having to think for a change is nice. But the ecrotic points in the books are also wonderful. I will say that for those who dont like the thought of someone else being in control over you physically and sexually then you maynot enjoy this book.

Quite Enthralling...

I was very surprised to find that Anne Rice was so talented at writing in this genre. Erotic fiction is a hard thing to write well but somehow she has pulled it off, not just in this book but in the prequel and the third enstallment as well. I was never very into the concept of bdsm, but this book has opened my eyes to what it's all about; and I will say it intrigues me. I'd only recommend this book, and the others to those who have very open minds. Otherwise you'll end up wasting your time and money, trust me.

Beauty's punishment-or ours?

This book is a very guilty pleasure for those who can stand the more explicit S&M scenes. The story is meaningless, there is no beauty in it, however it does titilate and has something for every taste. It was too rough for my taste but I admit to having finished it after slamming it shut a few times.

Ho-hum, more whipping, slashing & spanking

Just plain boring! I expected more from Anne Rice. I thought her erotic books would at least contain a sensible plot & depth. I was really disappointed to learn that her piece was so senseless. Buying her trilogy was a waste of money & reading her books (this + its prequel) was a waste of time.

What a great mind Ann Rice has

This book,second in it's series, definitely leaves you wanting more. Which really is a testimate to Ann Rice's writing. This book is extremely sensual and arousing. Not something I would share with my mom, but my best friend who I share everything with, would definitely read this book along with me. It is also a book that men would love as well. That's another part of Anne's writing that is intriguing as well. She can write sexually to appeal to men and women, which in one forum is very complicated, without offending both parties. I highly recommend this book in the series for those that are adventoures and have an open mind.

review

i read the first book in the series and found it hard to get through. the character development is poor and the plotlines at some points are disturbing and degrading. there are spelling errors throughout the book as well as wrong words in more places than the spelling errors. i feel the editors did a very poor job at what was supposed to be their job. normally i would have been able to get through a book this thick in less than two days but after nearly every single page i am having to swear like a sailor due to the plotlines not fitting how they should be. the main character of beauty is supposed to be naive and innocent and she is far from that, she is a greedy little s.l.u.t.

Wickedly Erotic

This addition to the series doesn't disappoint. The submersion in perversion and providence is intoxicating.

Fantastic - A Wonderful Trilogy

Finally, a fantastically written and tastefully erotic work. If you've ever wanted a well-written romance novel, you've hot the jackpot. My boyfriend and I read these at the same time and we both adored them. Ten thumbs up.

A Great and Sensual Continuation.

Beauty's Punishment was an excellent up to the series. In this tale it had hardcore s&m and other wicked sexual acts with steamy scenes. The story is still catchy and thrilling. The cliffhanger was cool and interesting. Anne Rice has done it again in capitivating me with her writing.

So I would recommend anyone to read this novel to anyone. But I wouldn't recommend it to children, or pre-teens .

Great followup.

This is the sequel to the first one, Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, and it gets right into the good stuff. Overall, I have been pleased with this series and will read the other one soon.

Great read when you're alone.

This book is very true to it's genre and is a great addition to any erotic collection.

A great follow-up!

Having loved Beauty, I wanted more and got this one. It's a fantasic read, in and of itself, but accompanied by the first erotic novel, it's so interesting. It's complex, yet just about love. Loved it.

I enjoyed it

Beauty's Punishment is the continuation of The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Anne Rice's erotic retelling of the popular fairy tale.In the this sequel Tristan Beauty's lover is the main topic. It tells in graphic and precise detail of the punishments that all the slaves endure. I had high expectations for this particular book cause at the end of the first book. Anne leaves u hanging and wanting more. So when I read the first chapter it was all I expected to be and more. I L.O.V.E how she made sure whatever it was that she was going to explain made you feel like you were right there. The ending to me was very sad. Hopefully the beginning of the last and final book makes it all better for both Beauty and Tristan I L.O.V.E the book and cant wait for the 3rd book.

Erotic

I have this whole series, and have read it a few times now. It's very hot and erotic. Not recommended for children or even young adults. But, if you like steamy, erotic romance, then this is a great series!

Great

Anne is an amazing writer. While reading this I felt like I was there. I recommend this book. It is a departure from her regularly subject matter but still a great read.

5 Stars for the first half....-1 for the second

From the first sentence this book grabbed me and kept me enthralled until about 1/2 way through the book, and at one point I only continued reading to see if the author would come up with anything new. Don't get me wrong...the first half is WELL worth reading whether you read the second half or not. It's just that you get the whole shebang in the first half. After that, its just repitition to the point of agravation. The first spanking, for example, is thrilling. The 100th is a bore. Give me something new. Therefore, I highly recommend the first half of this book to any reader who enjoys fairy tales and erotica. For more variety on the same theme, I would also recommend Bedtime Stories for Women by Nancy Madore, which has a whole bunch of fairy tales - with a DIFFERENT fantasy in every story (all of them fantastic).

What a lot of naughty fun!!!

When Beauty is sent to the village, her varied experiences take on more and more dimension. It was such mind candy to read! As of this review, I have finished the trilogy, and I really just wish there were more to Beauty's adventures. The last book (Beauty's Realese) Has a lovely ending, and I just want to know what her life will be like. Although I do have an imagination, I've grown accustomed to Ms. Rice weaving these dirty little tales in her own brilliant prose. Even if you are not into s&m (which I am not, either) you may well find these books are great fun to read and they may even enhance your sex life.

Watch out for Beauty's playmate!!

Even though I thought this book was great I wouldn't have liked it as much as the first title in the trilogy if it wasn't for the chapter 'MistressLockley's Discipline'!!!! You will either be shocked or disturbed or a mix of both! I laughed myself to tears reading the specific part(you'll know it when you read it if you dare to read it) almost 15 times! Most of my friends and people I seldom talk to read it think it was disturbing. If it arouses you(sexually)........I don't know what to say?! Overall this is a great book! After reading this you HAVE TO go on to the third book!!.. ......but trust me...it gets worse!...BUT IN A GOOD AND SHOCKING WAY :) !!!

An engrossing novel

A terrific book. I read it in one sitting. I'll surely read the rest she has written.
