About this listen

An erotic novel of discipline, love, and surrender for the enjoyment of men and women.

This sequel to The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, the first of Anne Rice's elegantly written volumes of erotica, continues her explicit, teasing exploration of the psychology of human desire. Now Beauty, having indulged in a secret and forbidden infatuation with the rebellious slave Prince Tristan, is sent away from the Satyricon-like world of the Castle. Sold at auction, she will soon experience the tantalizing punishments of "the village", as her education in love, cruelty, dominance, submission, and tenderness is turned over to the brazenly handsome Captain of the Guard. And once again Rice's fabulous tale of pleasure and pain dares to explore the most primal and well-hidden desires of the human heart.

The story, is pure fantasy. The world has it’s own governance, but absolutely no realism. I’m truly sucked into what happens in the tale, but and I say this with honesty. The narration is terrible! Stunted reading almost like a robot is reading it. Especially by Samantha Prescott, the one star is for Corbin Steele, at least he had some emotion. 5 stars to the story, I’m hooked, lined and paddled.
