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

3.0

Not nearly as good as the first book in the series. Still, a fairly interesting read. I did not find this tale to be as steamy as the first: the 'horse play' was a little much and clearly not my thing, and this installment was a much slower moving story. It took a long time for me to care about the character of Tristen and what was happening to him. I only started to get the point of his storyline when it was contrasted with Beauty's perspective in his master's bed chamber. I will finish the trilogy, but I hope the 3rd is better.
