About this title: This sequel to "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty," the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. Beauty, having indulged in a secret and forbidden infatuation with the rebellious slave Prince Tristan, is sent away from the Satyricon-like world of the castle. Once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.

"I feel funny giving this porn five stars, but I really love the whole Beauty Trilogy. I didn't put this in Best of the Best but really. . . maybe it deserves to be there. The world "A.N. Roquelaure" creates is gorgeous, all-encompassing, and completely bizarre in the best way possible. I think Beauty's Punishment and Beauty's Release are my favorites, but they're all good."
"not for the prude reader. X rated!!! explores the darkness of humans and puts a MAYOR twist to the sleeping beauty story! I started reading the first book by accident...but wanted to read all of it until the very end no matter what! haha.
beauty gets sold unto slavery...of the bad kind!!! she travels all over the world too! very different sleeping beauty from the disney one!"
"The second in the beauty trilogy explores the emotions involved with S&M in a way. The sex is very tasteful. Some may be put off by homosexual activity. Been a while since I read this, but I bought the triology not long after I read it. If I remember correctly, this particular book has my favorite part of all in it, Beauty in a sultan's harem."
