The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelare
When I read the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy eight years ago, several people told me I should read this trilogy. I kept putting it off, and waited until I could get it fairly inexpensively. That was a week or so ago ($1.99 for the whole trilogy!). I just finished the first one.
I'll be honest: as a middle-aged woman, I find myself single again, and am coming at this from a different perspective than I would have had I read this when everyone suggested it. Given that everyone told me it was better than that other trilogy, I expected better. Plus, it's Anne Rice, an author I typically enjoy, so I thought it would be better. I thought it would be racier. I thought so many things and was severely let down on all accounts.
I will continue to read the trilogy in the hope that I will get what I thought I was going to get out of them, but it's not looking very likely.
