This was my favorite book in the series (so far)! The book picks up right where the last one left off, and as can be expected, the steamy eroticism never cooled a degree! We are treated to more in depth descriptions of the "pony" slaves, the ultimate submission! The books doesn't try to hide what it is, pure, hardcore. unapologetic erotica!
On a side note, all the negative reviews of this book crack me up! If you hate what you're reading so much, put the damn book down! Why spend time doing things you hate so you can then go online and bitch about it? Life is short, folks!

I could have gone without reading this trilogy but my brain won’t stop wondering what would happened at the end! They should have TW because this was all about S** slaves, if you asked me. Some of it was to much! But literally it was sexy time on every page! You definitely have to be a non-bias person to read the whole trilogy.

If you do not "get" BDSM--or vanilla writers' interpretations of it--then don't bother with this trilogy. Anne did not get it all right; she treated BDSM like a world that you are eventually supposed to leave. I took exception to that, being a longtime member of the BDSM community.
Anne had a thing about blurring boundary lines where sexuality was concerned. That is not easy to do, and she does it well. She knew what she wanted to say, and she said it. She immortalized her fantasies without the slightest concern for other people's approval. As a fellow author, I respect that.
As usual, I adored the images that her descriptions brought to mind. And I think that the story should have ended with this book.

I simply cannot read the first two books of a trilogy without finding out how it all ends. What am I, a monster?
This third book did drag, I'm not going to lie. Maybe that's because Beauty was no longer the focus. I enjoy the male POVs, but this trilogy was intended to be about Beauty, after all, and I felt like that was lost a bit.
I needed to brace myself for some of the scenes in this book. This was a new level of intense exploration of kinks on the edge of oh so many boundaries was a lot, even for me, and I definitely needed some breaks in between. One thing that really disturbed me was the prolonged mention of genital mutilation. This wasn't meant to be a kink, as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure why this thread of seriousness had to be woven in. Obviously the whole trilogy involved violence if you look at it outside of dark fiction, but this all too realistic violence against women in such a disturbing form really turned me off from scenes following that. After everything was so clean cut (i.e., no menstruation, no illness, no fecal matter, etc.), I just felt like this could've easily been left behind.
It did have an HEA at least, so yay! I expected the ending but at times I wasn't quite sure how we'd get there. Overall, I'm glad I read this series but have no plans to reread in the future.

Decreasing marginal returns...there's only so much hopelessly falling in love with each successive master that one can swallow. Also, enough with the ponies. Although at this point I feel I've got a pretty good handle on the author's fetish list.
