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

2.0

Marginally better than the first book. But still not my cup of tea. Not much was new in this book that wasn't covered in the last book. A lot of humiliating sexual acts were preformed on the main characters. Tristan was the character of most interest for me and he is the entire reason that this book rates higher than one star. His character was written differently than Beauty's was and it made me come to like him and see him as an engaging character with... actual depth to him.

Overall a very repetitive book. There's a spanking, and then another spanking, and then another and another. There are only so many ways that you can write the thoughts of a character while they are being spanked. There are only so many ways to write a scene with a character who is being spanked.
