The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice (written under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure) is a daring and provocative reimagining of the classic fairy tale, offering an adult twist on the familiar story of Sleeping Beauty. This trilogy is not for the faint of heart, as it delves into themes of power, submission, and sensuality with unflinching honesty. The trilogy begins with The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, where Rice takes the reader through a fantastical world where pleasure and pain are intricately tied. The characters are deeply complex, and their journeys are as much about self-discovery as they are about indulgence and submission. Throughout the trilogy, Rice explores themes of dominance and submission, set against a backdrop of richly imaginative, often erotic, storytelling. Rice’s writing is lush, detailed, and immersive. The world she creates is both beautiful and disturbing, with vivid imagery and intricate character development. Each book takes the reader deeper into the world of fantasy and desire, and while the subject matter is undeniably explicit, Rice manages to balance the darker themes with a sense of beauty and lyricism. One of the most striking things about The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy is how it challenges traditional notions of romance and explores the boundaries of human sexuality. While the explicit content is not for everyone, those who are drawn to stories that push the limits of fantasy and explore complex relationships will find this trilogy to be an unforgettable read. Ultimately, this is a story of transformation, liberation, and surrender to a world that is both intoxicating and dangerous. If you are open to a tale that pushes boundaries and offers a sensual, sometimes controversial, examination of desire, The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy is an unforgettable read.

For those who read Fifty Shades of Grey, this trilogy makes spending time with Christian Grey look easy. I'd take a punishment spanking from him any day over what happens to Beauty. As I started with the first book I imagined a slightly different tale of Sleeping Beauty with some sexually explicit undertones. What I read was something quite different. I didn't know if I would enjoy reading a story that caused such sexual torment and angst but I admit, I couldn't put it down and jumped right into the other two books to see how the story unfolded and ended. I found myself captivated by the intertwining stories of Beauty, Laurent and Tristan and suffered right along with them when their worlds and ideals were shaken and tested. Eroticism and sexual tension mixed with feelings of torture, humiliation and love that these characters and others endured and found were evident on every page. I think I would have begged for death then think I could survive that life, but found myself very intrigued to think I could have. As the story unfolded I began to see that what I thought of as a miserable way to be punished and live, to learn strength and humility began to serve a purpose in who these people became and their outcomes. The trilogy screams sex of all types, but it is also more than that, its multiple stories of finding oneself, of finding your place in life and of love. Maybe not in the sense we are used to, but nonetheless its there to be found. The trilogy can be a bit intense and uncomfortable a read at times due to the subject matter, but in the end the story is captivating and makes you stop and think. A great and a fitting ending for Beauty, Laurent and Tristen. Sad to see them go. Enjoy!

I read these books about 35 years ago. My set got destroyed in a flood. Can't wait to read them again. Sexy, erotica. Anne Rice/Roquelaure can really spin a tale! I have looked for a reasonably priced set for several years.

So I have read these books before and they were amazing. I lost one over time so I rebought the trilogy. So the books are great but I have to return bc they sent me 2 of the 3rd book. Already got Amazon to send return label. Delivery was very quick for first delivery but maybe too quick to look over the item to ensure I was getting the right books. I’m just hoping asking for a return and replacement of same item will get me the correct 3 lol.

This takes sleeping beauty to a new level. This is not your child's bedtime story! It drew me in quick and I fell in love. It did loose me a bit by book 3 and I can't tell you what didn't keep me as enthused but I did finish it. This does open a world of new um...exploration so be ready!

What’s to say? Anne Rice is wicked twisted. And I guess so am I. This offering , like most of hers, was like watching a burning house fire - you can’t pry your eyes from it. Page after page of The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy was twisted and so descriptive that I am sure that leather straps, nipple clamps and butt plugs sales would surely be improved bc of said trilogy. (Make sure your batteries are new). Well written and more male on male action than one would think considering that Beauty is the titled protagonist it is based on (the Sleeping Beauty fairytale ). Again another look into the mindset of the enjoyment and agony of pleasure or pain and surrender. And how fleeting and confusing love can be. I could not put it down. I read the entire Trilogy straight through and did not stop. I could give more on particulars such as, scenes and dialogue and characters but believe me I wouldn’t want to ruin this offering with my own twist on all that this “fairytale” adventure will surely take you on.
