Beauty's Punishment by Anne Rice, A.N. Roquelaure

5.0

I had forgotten how much better I liked this than the first book in the series! Just finished listening to it on audio, and was delightfully entertained! We pick up right where book 1 left off, with Beauty and Tristan being hauled away to the village. The story is told partly in third person about Beauty, but then in first person from Tristan about his experiences. The level of submission and depth of self-realization in this book is just amazing. And of course, how can I not mention that the eroticism was hot enough to melt glass! Rice has a talent with her erotic works to blend sexual identities together so much that every act and every combination of partnering just flows and makes perfect sense. This series is the Top Shelf of erotic fiction!
