  <default_description>This sequel to &lt;i&gt;The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty&lt;/i&gt;, the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. 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. Once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The second in the beauty trilogy explores the emotions involved with S&amp;M in a way.  The sex is very tasteful.  Some may be put off by homosexual activity.

If I remember correctly, this particular book has my favori...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74859665">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book took awhile for me to finish because it was basically book #1 but with less plot and not as interesting. I had to take a break after I read the whole cat and butter insanity. I agree with the review that says Anne Rice played Mad Libs when writing these sex scenes. &quot;Alright, Beauty wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24705553">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[All 3 books are pure erotica.  A.N. Roquelaure is really Anne Rice. After reading a few of her books I decided to pick these up too. I saw a review once that said that these books could have been combined into one book because it got repetitious of the same sequences happening over and over and I ag...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39530028">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Despite plodding through this series, I am intrigued by the story. It really is well-written fetish-porn. Don't fool yourself. But it's so explorative and so uninhibited that it demands your attention. <br/><br/>I'm actually torn over my rating: I enjoyed reading this book a bit more than I did th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23286367">more...</a>]]></body>
