An erotic novel of discipline, love, and surrender for the enjoyment of men and women.
This sequel to The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. Now Beauty, having indulged in a secret and forbidden infatuation with the rebellious slave Prince Tristan, is sent away from the Satyricon-like world of the Castle. Sold at auction, she will soon experience the tantalizing punishments of "the village," as her education in love, cruelty, dominance, submission, and tenderness is turned over to the brazenly handsome Captain of the Guard. And once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.
Read by Genvieve Bevier and Winthrop Eliot.

10/26/2009: As I said before in my reveiw of one, this can just be a read or a very very deep read. I would have to say it would depend on who you are. For those of us who have to make all the decisions and be incharge of things, just the thought of not having to think for a change is nice. But the ecrotic points in the books are also wonderful. I will say that for those who dont like the thought of someone else being in control over you physically and sexually then you maynot enjoy this book.

09/05/2009: This book,second in it's series, definitely leaves you wanting more. Which really is a testimate to Ann Rice's writing. This book is extremely sensual and arousing. Not something I would share with my mom, but my best friend who I share everything with, would definitely read this book along with me. It is also a book that men would love as well. That's another part of Anne's writing that is intriguing as well. She can write sexually to appeal to men and women, which in one forum is very complicated, without offending both parties. I highly recommend this book in the series for those that are adventoures and have an open mind.
