I did read this series, but since the author does not support anonymity for readers (only authors are allowed such luxury, apparently), I am removing my rating. (

I liked this book quite a bit, but I would have liked to read it more in Beauty's point of view. It was still probably the best book in the trilogy and I totally loved the ending. It surprised me, but I loved it. (

I love the subplot and the finale of this series. The sex is kinky and a bit extreme, but the explanation of the sub/dom desires are spot-on. (

The third (last) book of the series was luckily more excting than part 2. Still need to say that all is a bit toooo much overdone. Specially the part at the palace of the Sultan. The part in the stables was for me, as a female I think, couldn't captivate me. The end was, though not surprising, still great to read. For me it could have been a bit deeper as it seems that the end was a bit rushed. (

I did really like this series, though it is not for the squeamish. I was not sure how it would end, but like the fairy tale of the namesake, it does have a happy ever after. (
