The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty Blog Tour

By -
So many know about and have read 50 Shades of Grey but how many know that A. N. Roquleaure was writing steamy stories way before Anastasia and Christian's saga was penned? Penguin Publishing has reissued this series. There is a giveaway below. This tour is presented by AToMR Book Tours. 
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (Sleeping Beauty #1) by A. N. Roquleaure
Paperback, 253 pages and ebook
Published May 1st 1999 by Plume (first published 1983) Sold by Penguin Publishing 

From bestselling author Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquleaure. In the traditional folktale of 'Sleeping Beauty,' the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. Now Anne Rice's retelling of the Beautystory probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince reawakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment isBeauty's complete and total enslavement to him as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.

    I have never read any of this series. I only started reading erotic romances last year so I have A LOT of catching up to do. I would love to win a copy of this trilogy though, I have seen some great things said about them, many people list them as a favorite.

    I haven't read one of Ann Rice's vampire books, but I'm very curious to see how she treats the retelling of the classic fairy tales - she certainly has quite an imagination.

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break d...
