Product Description
In the final volume of Anne Rice's deliciously tantalizing 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. In Beauty's Release, Anne Rice makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in the series., July 2, 2009

By	Jennifer Gomez (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Beauty's Release: The Conclusion of the Classic Erotic Trilogy of Sleeping Beauty (Paperback)

The other two were great, but I thought the conclusion was the best in the series. I was glad things were tied up and though I was sad to see it go, I had fun while it lasted! Anne Rice is a top notch writer and she should be applauded for her efforts at writing bdsm, some of which can be a bit trying, to say the least. This one, however, goes on the permanent bookshelf, or in the nightstand--haven't decided yet! Another good bdsm novel: Eager To Please.

5.0 out of 5 stars One reason to read this...., March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beauty's Release: The Conclusion of the Classic Erotic Trilogy of Sleeping Beauty (Paperback)

is the menage-a-trois between Laurent, Tristan and Lexius. I am a woman, and never in my life could I have imagined that a male homosexual scene would do this to me. I made love with my husband three times the same day I read this. So much emotion, love, depth and pure raw sex and hunger. It's one of the most fascinating scenes I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anne Rice's erotica at it's best!, April 3, 1998

By A Customer

This is the third and last instalment of the Beauty series, and, by far, the best. If you have gotten this far in the series, graphic S & M discriptions have probably gotten a bit less shocking and now it's time for a really good story. This is the book for that. Oh, you won't have to miss your quota of intensly-worded erotica, but the story is compelling enough not to have to skip pages of yet-more-sex to find it. And this book wraps up the series very nicely. It's a keeper, as are the other two books. But, be warned in advance, if hardcore erotica isn't what you're into, move on to her more recent offerings because this series isn't for the faint of heart or easily offended.
