This is pure erotica. Not a romance. There is a lot of BDSM, servitude, Punishment, f/m, m/m, f/f, and multiple partners in various forms. Not for the faint of heart.

I know that I shouldn't have read this... but... Review to come.
#MY REVIEW
I didn't know what got to me when I read this. I won't say much because I'm shocked, this my first time reading an erotic book. And I will never again read one. Okay, maybe when I get old, like 30 or 40.
The whole time I'm reading this, I'm thinking about tampons and pregnancy. It was never mentioned. I didn't even say if Beauty ate on her own (without the Prince), and seldom mentioned...more

Banned books! What is the cause for banning books? The top reason for banning books are sex, violence, drugs, and religion. Banning books doesn’t help student, it takes away from their learning or take away what they enjoy doing on their free time which is to read. Age plays a major roll that can stoop the banning of books. Violence is more then what people think it is. Sex plays a major roll in life too. I don’t think books should be banned

Basically some extremely boring erotica. I do like the attempt to graft it to the Sleeping Beauty tale, it's an interesting take. But generally not very interesting, especially not over the course of three - admittedly short - novels.
I read it so long ago (I don’t have 
the 3 in 1 edition, but buying soon!)… only now I remember to put as “read” at Goodreads.
Well… If you are over 18 and want to know how a erotic novel must be you MUST start with this one. I was so incredible (my personal experience) read about so many (stupid) taboos that I couldn’t stop. She is marvelous… great book. Enjoy (really, I mean, enjoy in all senses
) the reading.

WARNING FOLKS: This is ADULT BDSM SEXUAL fantasy and could be shocking to those not familiar with the genre or lifestyle. It's not the best writing in the world, either. Only pick this series up if you are looking for some unique BDSM smut! Anne Rice fans beware... this is not her usual fare!
It'd be a interesting project for someone (not me) to note exactly how many times Beauty gets spanked in this and the rest of the series! And she's not the only one! Naughty, naughty, naughty......more

these naughty little books are an interesting read. They are erotica, so know that if you choose to read them- Anne Rice certainly had a dirty little mind at one point- for which I think she's trying to atone, now that she's re-embraced her Catholic faith and started writing about Jesus... These books are the kind that I don't mind that my sister's read them (which she has) but I would die if I knew my mother read them (which I'm praying she hasn't!!!)

I have read this series like 10 times. It is by far the best erotic series I have ever read. Now, if you are a virgin and super pure, this is NOT the series for you. I have to say that this is not The Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that you are used to. Ann Rice made this more adult. Now, I will not tell you the what happened in this series. I will tell you if you want to read something naughty, this is it!!
This book is a good read (note: erotica) for those who are into BDSM. This rather peculiar twist of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale is quite interesting-- I can still quite remember the singular scenes of the oriental palace. What's most curious is that just like any fairytale, this one ends in a happy ending-- one wherein a pretty princess gets a sexually-fulfilled happily ever after.
This set was a gift from someone who just didn't know any better. I read most of the first one; it was awful. I find it very difficult to just throw a book in the trash, preferring to give them to someone who'd appreciate them. I don't know anyone I could have inflicted this drek on. These books are among the very few I as all too happy to just trash. Ick.
This series should be called the Sleeping Booty series. There isn't any kissing nor hugging in these books. If you read these books, you might as well watch a porno. You're not going to be able to get through them without putting them down. Happy reading to ya!
I wanted to like these books. I'm not an Anne Rice fan and by admitting that I'm spewing blasphemy to most. Just because Anne Rice is writing under a psuedo name doesn't make it any better for me. I will have to agree that this is the most boring erotica I've ever read. Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for smut but something a little more classic and poetic.

Love this book. It was definately a big change for anne rice to change from her usual vampire books. But like all her books was very sensual. I loved it. This is a book I could read over and over again without getting bored.
I really enjoyed this series. I read it for the first time in freshman year of high school, but I recently re-read it. It is a fun look at what it might be like to live in the dominant/submissive lifestyle 24/7.
I read this set years ago and yet even today it sends chills and awakens my private area's. Not meant for the young. Not meant for the prude. Well written. I love this set and could read it over and over.
this was nothing like I expected. I am no prude, but OMG this started bad and went way off base. I could not even read the rest of the set. It was not even erotic it was sadistic/masochistic it was awful.

I have currently read the first one of these. While I was dissapointed that it did not have more story, as the build-up always makes the naughty bits that much more exciting to me, it did have enough variety to keep me reading this erotica. Not for the faint of heart or the sexually prudish. Worth reading book two to see what happens.
It has it's moments of desirable qualities. I did expect a little more from Ann Rice. I believe she made this erotic, fetish topic into a bedside table read. For me anyway. I'm glad I read it.
super erotic, beautifully written..... when I was reading these as a senior in high school I would call my H.S sweetheart for a roll in the hay I would get so worked up over reading these books!
If you want to read erotica without romance with a mix of domination/submission then this is for you. Not the greatest erotica out there, but it's a decent read.
This series was too much for me. I guess after the series I realized I wasn't so much of a big erotic novel fan.
A very different side of Anne Rice

i think of this as perhaps the girly version of all that shit Sade wrote. so i'm not sure i really want to read it, at least not for the sake of fun.
A fantastic version of the sleeping beauty fairy tale. Erotica at its finest. NOT for the closed minded of faint of heart!
these were interesting..and very very erotic..not a light read by any stretch.I'm honestly not sure how I feel about them.
I have finished book one, "The Claiming of Beauty", in 2 days. I just couldn't put it down. I have never read anything like this trillogy, and probably never will again. It's labled as "literary erocita", but is bassically all the most horrible sexual situations you can think of.
I'm about half way through book 2, and at first I thought that Beauty was being used aginst her will, but now I am not so sure. She's more than willing to please, while trying to tell ...more

Sexy and erotic and all about S & M. Gay men sex, heterosexual sex, lesbian sex. This series is all about sex.
Very kinky. Super crazy. But, it opens the door of understanding into the whole S&M thing, which normally eludes me.
ah, anne rice's beauty series.
i was fourteen when i asked for this series for christmas. my family knew i loved to read and the only description i gave of the books was that they were just another anne rice goth trilogy. luckily, the box set i unwrapped christmas morning was still sealed in shrinkwrap. I think they would have had a heart attack if they knew they had bought their little catholic school girl bookworm a complete box set of graphic S&M erotica. oh! it was the best chris...more

An extreme view of BDSM in a medieval setting with an interesting take on Sleeping Beauty.
A trilogy rich in imagery both sexual and non-sexual, despite the subject matter.
