Publisher's summary

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.

Another great read

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

better than the first one,

liked it better than the first one likes it having male and female voice big difference

PUNISHMENT IS IN THE TITLE

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"

Exquisite!

Exquisite tale from start to finish! Outstanding performances from the readers. A must have for any fan of Classic Erotica!

Excellent

Very well executed, and enticing story. Anne Rice never fails to in capture her audience.

Good Story

I have heard this on both audible format and on cassette tape. The cassette version featured Elizabeth Montgomery, and her narration was MUCH better. The audible format does not have the range of emotion that the cassette version had. Otherwise, it is an enjoyable tale.

Exciting, erotic and satisfying.

Normally I do not read erotic novels. But after hearing about this series from a friend of mine, I decided to listen to it and see if I would like it. I found it simply amazing and could not stop listening at any chance I could get. True Ann Rice and her current and former form. Outstanding job.

Love Anne Rice

The narrator was easy to understand, the story is interesting. An amazing fantasy explained in great detail. My husband even listened for a while!

Have to finish the series

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.

Beauty Book 2

Anne Rice has done an excellent job with the first book that I knew the second book would go the same excellent way
