Beauty's Release (Sleeping Beauty Series #3)

A beautifully written, delicious erotic tale

I enjoyed the whole series very much! By the time I was half through with Release, I was rationing myself to one chapter a day, though I could have finished it in a couple of hours! I just didn't want the tantalizing tale to end! The Sleeping Beauty novels were so naughty and interesting and exquisitly written, that the content remained tantalizing, even if the acts described were not my 'thing'. Case in point: A lot of this book focused on homosexuality, and though I am neither a homosexual or turned on by it, somehow it remained arousing and lush throughout the novel, bringing unimagined dimensions to the encounters described. My favorite chapter, Courtly Life in all it's Glory,was a lustful, sensual, sexy tryst full of longing. (That one was not gay) A few erotic novels try too hard to weave in a mystery or a story. The popularity of Anne Rice's vampire books attests to the fact that she knows how to tell a tale. But in these books, she keeps the storyline simple and the sex hot. Almost every sentence in the Beauty books deals with sexuality. You don't have to trudge through a poorly written story to get to the 'good part'. After all, we read erotica for one reason and John Grisham for another, right?

First time erotic reader

Was surprised that I'd like the series, as I had never read any erotic books before. I thought that all three books were well written. Though I do agree that the first one was the best.

The best & hottest Erotic Trilogy.

In the final volume of Anne Rice's deliciously tantalizing erotic trilogy, Beauty's adventures to the dark side of the peak of her sexuality was force to the bound captives to the Eastern Sultan. Beauty and the some of her others had to be their prisoners in the exotic confines of the harem. In "Beauty's Release", Anne Rice makes the forbidden side of passion, lust and love. Anne Rice truely knows to reach into our hidden regions of the psyche and the heart. The ending was sweet, steamy and lovely for Beauty.

I would recommend anyone to read this series. It was a total delight, all three of the tales were thrilling & capitivating. Also a fast read especially with the feeling of never wanting to end.

Fantastic Eroticism

The conclusion of the series doesn't disappoint. The submersion in perversion and providence is intoxicating.

Beauty's Release

Exciting and original, Anne Rice really does erotica well.

I wish It woudln't have ended!

I think this book has more twists and turns than the previous two by far. I just wish that you would have had more time to read about their lives in the Sultan's palace. Somehow you cannot help but feel sorry for Beauty when her world is ripped out from underneath her, but dispite the tradgedies that are intermingled w/ erotica this is a novel I finished in two hours and would recommend to anyone w/ an open mind.

Engrossing, pure fun!

I devoured this book in a matter of hours! I t was so fun and naughty,I had trouble putting it down even when my eyes would barely stay open. I look forward to reading the end of the tale to see what kinky adventures are in store for Beauty!

Leah, first time exotic reader

I've always have read Anne Rice vampire books but this book was much better. I have to read her other sleeping beauty books but it was so interesting.

not as good

The first of the trilogy was great, the second was ok, and the third was barely alright. Read the first of the trilogy and stop there. There other 2 aren't nearly as good.

Excellent

This is the third installment of Anne Rice's beautifully written, erotic trilogy. Like many have said before, this series is definately for the more open-minded. I found it very exciting myself and hope that Anne Rice will continue to write more novels like this in the near future. I highly recommend this series.
