Publisher Description
A collection that includes all three novels in Anne Rice’s seductive retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story.
A spell has been cast upon a lovely young princess who sleeps, waiting for someone to save her. The Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty’s complete and total enslavement to him...
In 1983, Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquelaure, began the first installment of a series that is now considered a forerunner of erotic literature. This collection—containing The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty’s Punishment, and Beauty’s Release—is a testament to Anne Rice’s irresistible talent, exploring the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic trilogy that makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.
Customer Reviews
An instant favorite
I didn’t even finish reading the first chapter of the first book and I was hooked! I looked for opportunities to squeeze in some reading even if it was a quickie. It did not matter if it was an entire page or a couple of paragraphs at a time until I had read the entire trilogy! An instant favorite series!
Really a Great Series
I read one review that said the story gets better if you read further, but I'm having a hard time looking past the rape and kidnapping.
S&M is consensual, this book does NOT depict that.
Sleeping beauty trilogy
People say this compared to 50 shades , but what they don't realize is this series came out in the 80's. The author is Anne rice but she wrote it under another name."A.N.Roquelaure"
