Sleeping Beauty Tale Part One

I read this on an acquaintance's recommendation. If you are a fan of erotic fiction, it is very well told. However, it definitely leaves you hanging with a "to be continued" and might be better purchased with the full trilogy. Every tale involves spanking. So if this is not your cup of tea, your better off to find a different book.
It is at it's heart a fairy tale and as such requires a willing suspension of disbelief beyond what perhaps a normal erotic fiction book might.
Beauty is rather flighty going from this person to that without much of an established emotional connection.
The Prince is awesome! By far the in charge no nonsense hero.
The main character is more of the setting in which they all find themselves. The rules, customs, and training that takes place in the kingdom far outshines any individual persona.
There is a head nod on two different places for the safe, sane, and consensual guide lines---but this is far from an injected element of realism.
I will look forward to reading the next two in the series.Read full review...

Freaks are out around the clock

These books have everything sexual possible in them. Not for all, however if your imagination is vivid and your not shy or afraid to think in new ways. there is a lot to picture in your mind with these books. Fifty shades of grey is mild compared to these books. Read full review...

Don’t buy it

The book was visibly used. The cover/edition was different than the one advertised in the picture. Content is poor too. Really bad erotica. Do not recommend.

OK for long form literature of its genre

Good condition. Fiction is slow moving and a little more emphasis on humiliation and subjugation than appeals to me.

Wife is an Anne Rice Fan

My wife loves the book and really happy to have an autographed copy.

Very Erotic- Bi-Sexual BDSM

This is a very original book. Unlike any other- even those by Anne Rice. The story is set hundreds of years ago in a far away fantasy land where royal peoples undergo a period of sexual "slavery" before rising to power. Beauty, the heroine, finds herself awoken (in many ways) and taken away by a mysterious stranger to begin her "education." We follow Beauty as she learns the ways of a slave, and develops some very **interesting** relationships with her fellow slaves and master(s).
A must read if you love Erotic Fiction. As always, Anne Rice's elegant voice presents this story in beautifully.Read full review...

I love Anne Rice

This book take's you where most people never go, The BD/SM life style is not for everyone's taste. But that's what I love about Anne, She can draw you into her story's and take your breath away. I have read everything of her's I can get my hands on. No this book is not for Kids, But if you have read anything eles she's put in print...She not writing to kids.

Pain for Pleasure

As I am reading these books I find that I am definitely not into the "pain for pleasure" group just to achieve another level of ecstasy, at least not the pain that was introduced to me in this book! Some may agree, some may disagree, we all have our own opinions. But I have been enlightened to another level and when I hear a certain song with the line "I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all..." I'll have a different viewpoint to back that saying. LOL
With that said I shall say no more.Read full review...
