Synopsis
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.

I wish It woudln't have ended!by Anonymous

06/26/2004: I think this book has more twists and turns than the previous two by far. I just wish that you would have had more time to read about their lives in the Sultan's palace. Somehow you cannot help but feel sorry for Beauty when her world is ripped out from underneath her, but dispite the tradgedies that are intermingled w/ erotica this is a novel I finished in two hours and would recommend to anyone w/ an open mind.

04/16/2004: I enjoyed the whole series very much! By the time I was half through with Release, I was rationing myself to one chapter a day, though I could have finished it in a couple of hours! I just didn't want the tantalizing tale to end! The Sleeping Beauty novels were so naughty and interesting and exquisitly written, that the content remained tantalizing, even if the acts described were not my 'thing'. Case in point: A lot of this book focused on homosexuality, and though I am neither a homosexual or turned on by it, somehow it remained arousing and lush throughout the novel, bringing unimagined dimensions to the encounters described. My favorite chapter, Courtly Life in all it's Glory,was a lustful, sensual, sexy tryst full of longing. (That one was not gay) A few erotic novels try too hard to weave in a mystery or a story. The popularity of Anne Rice's vampire books attests to the fact that she knows how to tell a tale. But in these books, she keeps the storyline simple and the sex hot. Almost every sentence in the Beauty books deals with sexuality. You don't have to trudge through a poorly written story to get to the 'good part'. After all, we read erotica for one reason and John Grisham for another, right?
