1: Best of all three books!!! Great writing, entertaining story!
When I first began the Beauty books, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The first book included entirely too much spanking and not much of anything else. The second book was much better and really entertained with some classic character development and a very moving relationship. The third book in the Beauty series was the best yet! Although Rice does a great job of summarizing the adventures from the previous books, it really would be most beneficial to read through all books in the series in order to appreciate the massive character development throughout the series. (Yes, even the first one which could be considered a bit of a bore to some.)
Rice included a variety of spice and some very interesting BDSM aspects in this third installment. The characters remained consistent with the original story line, but showed massive and realistic development through their struggles.
As always, Rice masters writing the environment and characters while keeping the reader guessing as to what might happen next. And although these books don't exactly follow the traditional fairytale mold, Rice did manage to include a 'happily-ever-after' ending...but with a twist!
*WARNING: These books include extreme examples of bondage-submission scenarios as well as explicit material. If you are easily offended, DON'T READ THESE BOOKS! If you like a little spice and something on the devilish side, these books might just fit the bill!

2: William Hope! Wow !
I was so surprised to hear William Hope! I fell in love with him as Henry Detamble in The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger. I was impressed with his professionalism with the subject matter, and loved his characterization of the stable master. I wish Anne Rice wouldn't allow her books to be abridged for audio! I would have loved to enjoy the entire book with these readers. Good Job!

3: Very disappointing
I read the series to the end in hope of a night in shinning armour saving Beauty from a wicked world. But not. I skipped most of all 3 books to get to the end. In fact I probably didn't read half of either book.
I hope Rice never writes another book of this sort.

4: Sexy and Sinful
This is such an erotic read. The writing is so visual that you real can see yourself in the situations. The plot is a little lacking but what do you expect. However, for an erotic book definitely worth the read.

5: Light your smokes!
The ending was just as hot and wonderful as the beginning. This series is worth keeping as a collection item. I have not read anything this good since the Happy Hooker series. Anne Rice rocks!
