This is trash.
Despite what the forward from Anne Rice says, there isn’t a single iota of the enslaved princes/princesses “enjoying” their predicament. They’re all constantly crying, and Beauty’s resounding thoughts through everything are “no no no.” This is rape and torture. Plain and simple.
NOT TO MENTION THAT IN THE FIRST CHAPTER IT’S STATED THAT BEAUTY IS ONLY 15 (ie. A CHILD), and the Prince is 18. So there’s that.
To add further insult to injury, this book is BORING, both in terms of plot and the way the spice is written. I’m all for a good erotica, but this isn’t it. This is the most bland, lazily written smut I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading.
PLUS, it woefully misunderstands everything about BDSM.
As much as it pains me to say this, 50 Shades is a better choice. At the very least they’re both adults in that story.
But hey—if lazy, boring, repetitive, and highly problematic writing gets you going, this might just be the perfect erotica for you!!

Ok, it's not even the complete and total lack of consent that nearly every sex scene has. It's the fact that just as "The perks of being a wallflower" just constantly throws tragic scenes to your face, desperately trying to make the reader care for the characters,this book includes various kinks that have been thrown in for shock value.
Thing is that slowly these kinks get so damn repetitive to the point where you know what to expect in each scene.
And yes I know it's erotica,but reading about characters that have more character traits other than being attractive and getting CONSTANTLY sexually assaulted or/and sexually assaulting people would be more fun.
Also what the fuck was the ending
(P.S: If I read one more time the word "buttocks " I WILL commit violent crimes.)
