This is trash.
Despite what the forward from Anne Rice says, there isn’t a single iota of the enslaved princes/princesses “enjoying” their predicament. They’re all constantly crying, and Beauty’s resounding thoughts through everything are “no no no.” This is rape and torture. Plain and simple.
NOT TO MENTION THAT IN THE FIRST CHAPTER IT’S STATED THAT BEAUTY IS ONLY 15 (ie. A CHILD), and the Prince is 18. So there’s that.
To add further insult to injury, this book is BORING, both in terms of plot and the way the spice is written. I’m all for a good erotica, but this isn’t it. This is the most bland, lazily written smut I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading.
PLUS, it woefully misunderstands everything about BDSM.
As much as it pains me to say this, 50 Shades is a better choice. At the very least they’re both adults in that story.
But hey—if lazy, boring, repetitive, and highly problematic writing gets you going, this might just be the perfect erotica for you!!
