Taking the depraved and falling in love.  Just when Beauty gets used to the life of the slave with the foreigners she is taken back and set free - only to want her old life of servitude back.  At the same time the men are having to deal with the same type of burden in their own right.  The ending left me wondering what will happen next.

This was my favorite book in the series (so far)! The book picks up right where the last one left off, and as can be expected, the steamy eroticism never cooled a degree! We are treated to more in depth descriptions of the "pony" slaves, the ultimate submission! The books doesn't try to hide what it is, pure, hardcore. unapologetic erotica!

On a side note, all the negative reviews of this book crack me up! If you hate what you're reading so much, put the damn book down! Why spend time doing things you hate so you can then go online and bitch about it? Life is short, folks!

I could have gone without reading this trilogy but my brain won’t stop wondering what would happened at the end! They should have TW because this was all about S** slaves, if you asked me. Some of it was to much! But literally it was sexy time on every page! You definitely have to be a non-bias person to read the whole trilogy.

If you do not "get" BDSM--or vanilla writers' interpretations of it--then don't bother with this trilogy. Anne did not get it all right; she treated BDSM like a world that you are eventually supposed to leave. I took exception to that, being a longtime member of the BDSM community.

Anne had a thing about blurring boundary lines where sexuality was concerned. That is not easy to do, and she does it well. She knew what she wanted to say, and she said it. She immortalized her fantasies without the slightest concern for other people's approval. As a fellow author, I respect that.

As usual, I adored the images that her descriptions brought to mind. And I think that the story should have ended with this book.
