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.

Beauty's Punishment is the second book in Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty trilogy, Let’s just say that Anne goes where some fear to tread. This book covers Beauty journey down to the village where he life and that of the other slaves are once again push to the limits. Yes, I fully understand that some will not have liked some aspects of this book, but you need to put your mindset away before starting this is fiction and not what every would be seen in RL. If you are unable to just let, go of what we take as normal then maybe these books are not for you. I read these books when Anne first published them and gave enjoyed rereading them. And now listening to them

Another great read

FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU ARE AN ANNE RICE FAN OR THE FAN OF EROTICA YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. IF YOU HAVE TO BE WARNED THAT AN EROTIC ADULT FICTION WITH THE TITLE "BEAUTY'S PUNISHMENT" MIGHT CONTAIN TRIGGERS, WELL YOU DEAR MAY BE IN THE WRONG PLACE UNLESS YOUR PSYCHOTHERAPY INCLUDES SUBMERSING YOUR SELF IN ALL THINGS SEX POSITIVE. YOU MY DEAR WILL NEED SENSITIVITY TRAINING, FOR YES SOME OF US FIND TO MADE UNCOMFORTABLE IS A PLEASURE, AND YES SOMETIMES WHAT MAKES AN ACT TABOO ALSO SOMETIMES MAKES IT EROTIC. OR AS A WISE PODCASTER ONCE SAID "DON'T YUCK SOMEONE ELSE'S YUM"

PUNISHMENT IS IN THE TITLE

I thought the book was wonderful, I enjoyed hearing about the sex play. I did enjoy how the sleeping beauty story was turned into something different and erotic. I had to give 4 stars because there were a few things going through my head while listening, I was wondering how everyone kept from getting pregnant, I know there were ways to prevent that somewhat back then but not completely right? also some of the words used like "Organ" wasn't a turn on for me , how about huge cock or throbbing staff LOL maybe it's just me LOL this is not your usual story, it's kinky , dirty and degrading but the characters seem to be enjoying themselves . It's very detailed so prepare yourself and make sure your alone when listening. Sleeping beauty was definitely punished 😉

Very fun and dirty

I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to continue this series, the first book was awesome but when it was done I had felt like the story line was weak and wasn’t sure how it would progress.
This book was good and the details are wonderful. The storyline has progressed and I am happy with it I have to finish the series now but I will be taking a little break before the next book.
There are two narrators one male one female. It was kind of weird at first but you get used to it and it helps with the change of tone/perspective.

Have to finish the series

To much anal sex for my taste. Not clear on why this is needed. I read it bef6years ago, it didn't leave an impression. I read it this time and it sounded foreign to me.

an ok read
