In the final volume of Anne Rice's deliciously tantalizing erotic trilogy, Beauty's adventures on the dark side of sexuality make her the bound captive of an Eastern Sultan and a prisoner in the exotic confines of his harem. As this voluptuous adult fairy tale moves toward conclusion, all of Beauty's encounters with the myriad variations of sexual fantasy are presented in a sensuous, rich prose that intensifies this exquisite rendition of Love's secret world and makes the Beauty series an incomparable study of erotica.

Beauty is kidnapped from the village and taken by boat to the Sultan's kingdom where she meets the Sultan's harem and brings her own vigorous sexual energy to her experiences there. Tristan and Laurent are exposed in the garden of male delights and all of the kidnapped slaves delight in the sensual Eastern pleasures of the Sultan's kingdom.
But their delight is challenged and short lived when the Captain of the Guard rescues them back to Queen Eleanor's court.
I didn't feel comfortable bringing this to work to read so it got buried on my bedside table for a while. I like this the most of the trilogy because of the challenges Laurent faces as a switch and the proposition of what happens after the slaves are released. ( )

I did read this series, but since the author does not support anonymity for readers (only authors are allowed such luxury, apparently), I am removing my rating. ( )

I liked this book quite a bit, but I would have liked to read it more in Beauty's point of view. It was still probably the best book in the trilogy and I totally loved the ending. It surprised me, but I loved it. ( )

I love the subplot and the finale of this series. The sex is kinky and a bit extreme, but the explanation of the sub/dom desires are spot-on. ( )

The third (last) book of the series was luckily more excting than part 2. Still need to say that all is a bit toooo much overdone. Specially the part at the palace of the Sultan. The part in the stables was for me, as a female I think, couldn't captivate me. The end was, though not surprising, still great to read. For me it could have been a bit deeper as it seems that the end was a bit rushed. ( )
