Will Ana find it in herself to submit to the self-indulgent Master? And if she does, will she still love what she finds?Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever

What can I say? I loved this book! And I have read it more than 3times… its just so addictive and funny, and erotic and spellbinding!!!!! I couldn’t stop reading! Christian Grey is a 27 years old rich handsome sexy motherfucker, but all that finesse comes with a whole lot of “fuckedupness”. He is the ultimate fantasy, the Master of his universe, and the ultimate DOM, and a major control freak! But we love him anyway. Grey isn’t a “Hearts and Flowers” kinda guy, he has never had a real relationship; just SUBS and Dominant, and he doesn’t make love, he FUCKS…HARD! That’s all he cares about no holds bar… BDSM and Domination hardens his dick or at least BDSM helped him blow off steam…until he meets Anastasia Steele.

Anastasia is about to graduate from college when she meets, Christian Grey. Her best friend drafted her to interview Grey for the campus magazine when she stumbled into his office. And so it begins…. A Dominant and a Virgin… LOVE… a complication? Go figure.

This story was certainly a roller coaster, but it was worth the emotional drain. This book is by far one of the most passionate books I have ever read. The sentiments, the sex and the injured spirits are otherworldly and intense! WOW!!!!! A must read!

E.L. James is a new writer I stumbled upon and I know I am a fan for life. I love the way she writes and like her storyline and her dialogue!!! James’s characters are amazing and mind blowing and I believe she’s a writer to reckon with! I can’t wait to read book 2… Fifty Shades Darker!!! Which I started immediately!!!!

Oh my my- not for the faint of heart. Fifty shades of Grey is exactly what this novel is about - How messed a person can really be- well my guess is that Christian Grey is fifty shades deep. Ana, a shy timid girl newly college graduate has found herself in a game. A game, which she is entirely new to, and Christian Grey is her experienced opponent? From an accidental meeting between Ana and Christian a strange relationship is formed one with strange boundaries. Ana finds herself tortured between following her heart or mind. Her world is now defined with words such as Vanilla and Dominant and Submissive. The wealthy Gray has mesmerized her but can she mesmerize him in return. Is she cut out for his world... read and you'll see. Steamy erotic passion, love and oh yes whips and paddles. Even though I found it hard to tear my eyes away from the sexy scenes in this book it also has a deeper story, which would pose the question- what could have possible happened to make Christian Gray fifty shades darker? TWO THUMBS FIVE TOES ALL THE WAY.

Fifty Shades Darker(Fifty Shades #2)By E.L. James
Daunted by the singular sexual tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades. While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before his, and make the most important decision of her life

The truth is finally revealed- Why is Christian Grey so F$#cked up in the head- but with the truth comes a price to pay. Can Ana pay it? Even though we left of the last book in an upheaval where Ana and Christian went their separate ways, their magnetic chemistry does not leave them apart for long, and Ana finds herself back in Christian Grey's world. But with Ana back she must embrace all of Christian- his family, his money, his sex games, oh yes and his exes, and some of his past returns into Christians life to haunt the couple. Can Ana get past the bizarre stirrings of Christian's past? Can Christian move on and make the necessary sacrifices for Ana?. Loved this book all the way

Fifty Shades Freed(Fifty Shades #3)By E.L. James
When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian’s singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed.Now, together, they have more – love, passion, intimacy, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control, and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present.Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, misfortune, malice and fate combine to make Ana’s worst nightmares come true. Alone and desperate, she must face down the poisoned legacy of Christian’s past.Seductive, shocking, sad and funny, Fifty Shades Freed is the compelling final volume in the Fifty Shades trilogy.

This final book in the trilogy was complete and answered all questions if any was left hanging from the last two novels. This novel was a it slower and less steamy compared to the others but was a great story and closure to the series. Ana and Christian's ultimate happiness is put to the test- how much can they trust each other? Christian has proposed to Ana we follow the couple on their glorious honeymoon. but several things happen once they return back to reality, and their marraige finds itself on the rocks. Can Ana survive. Read and you will find out. Two thumbs up
