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 his harem. As this voluptuous adult fairy tale moves toward conclusion, all of Beauty's encounters with the myriad variations of sexual fantasy are presented in a sensuous, rich prose that intensifies this exquisite rendition of Love's secret world and makes the Beauty series an incomparable study of erotica. In it, 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	J. Gomez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The occasional pinky finger suits me just fine, thank you., November 6, 1999

By A Customer

Every time this book started to get me going it lost me by sticking some unrealistically massive object up another characters hiney hole. This resulted in any erotic thoughts I might have had turning into, "Wow, I bet that hurt" or "This guy must have a hole the size of a cave to enjoy that". Bigger may be better, but sooner or later the law of diminishing returns kicks in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beauty's Release is truly Wonderful, Raunchy, and RAW !!!, July 22, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Beauty's Release (Paperback)

Anne Rice, under the name A.N. Roquelaure, completes the third and final book of her erotic Sleeping Beauty series in this elegantly written book entitled Beauty's Release. This book drips with sexuality and only the boldest readers of an adult nature should dare even to glance at its cover ! The story itself deals with topics of love, lust, and the balances and conflicts of dominance/submission. Like never before, this book destroys all social norms dealing with sexuality and at times will cause even the boldest of readers to experience rapid heart palpitations of steamy desire. Beauty's Release, as the rest of the erotic Sleeping Beauty adventure series, is truly a masterpiece in its own right
