Book #3 was JUST released so the trilogy is now complete (and OMG it sounds romatically-tumultous):

When her tough-as-nails boss offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse, Addie is forced to make difficult choices…“

and Jeanie loves this!

“Holy cannoli I just finished Bedrock!!! OMG, talk about twists and turns!!! When I got to the end I was like what?!?!? Noooooo!!! That can’t be the end!!! … Omg! It’s like Love Square meets Fifty Shades – sooo good!!! 😀 “ read more

Anne Rice – The Sleeping Beauty Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

I remember hearing a TON about this series (started off as a trilogy) when Fifty Shades got so huge. Everyone was looking for “What to Read After Fifty Shades” and this one was recommended a bunch! And now, Anne Rice has just released a book #4!

Mandi: another suggestion for a read would be Anne Rice’s (or A. N. Roquelaure) Sleeping Beauty Trilogy……. WAY SEXY! And I read it years before 50 ever came out and I have always LOVED it! ***WARNING*** this series is SERIOUS eroticism, way more than normal BDSM books and should be read only by those with an open mind who are not easily offended LOL…… read more

This one was recommended to me as a good “What to Read After Fifty Shades” option, and then I received these reader recommendations!

Brenda: I just read Vanilla on Top by C.J. Ellisson. It was a yummy treat…

Sarah: My first intro into the book’s subject matter and I am glad it was a light version. 🙂 I loved the female character and could see myself in her position. The male character was pretty hot.

About book #1:

Maybe here, anonymous unless she chooses otherwise, she can become someone new.
