Description:
When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian’s singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees. Now, Ana and Christian have it alllove, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.

“Amazing Reading”

It was a perfect ending to a perfect story. The Fifty Shades books will always be my all time favorite read. And Christian is my all time favorite hero! Oh God, do I love this man. I would join his sub-club too any day. I loved both Ana and Christian in this one. Ana changed a lot. She was standing up for herself much more, but also still had her insecurities, which I liked, cause it made her more human and made me relate to her more. I mean, from my point of view at least, her insecurities were very understandable, and I could totally see myself behaving and thinking the way she did. She was a little over the top jealous, I would say.I loved the bonus part, at the end, where we get Christian’s point of view from the beginning of his and Ana’s story, from the moment Ana came to interview him and up to the hardware store meeting. It was so cool to read his perspective. I didn’t realize how cocky he is and how is fully aware of the effect he has on women and using it to his advantage. The bastard. But do I love him! I can only hope that ELJ will write the whole story, or at least more of it from Christian’s POV. How I wish that would be true. ELJ, please please please!!!!!!I love the Fifty books. The second book still remains my favorite (because of the things that followed after Leila got caught) and followed by the first book. But I loved the third book too. It had plenty of swoon worthy, heart melting moments, as well as plenty of very very hot moments.Those books put me in this weird mode were I completely lose any interest in the surrounding world. I go with this dreamy smile on my face and probably look a little strange. I just don’t care about anything and anyone when I am with Fifty.

In the final installment of the Fifty Shades series, Ana and Christian are married, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all roses and sunshine for the happy couple. Not only is there the mystery of trying to find out who’s trying to kill them — the suspense definitely has its heart-pounding moments — but the newlyweds are also adjusting to married life and learning even more about each other. There’s more than just nail-biting suspense, though. Of course there’s also plenty of spicy bits to go around — I mean, c’mon, Christian was a Dom when he first met Ana. Of course their bedroom (and other room) scenes are going to sizzle! But their sexual interactions are beautifully interwoven with humorous and somber plot points, character arcs, and the infamous email exchange between Ana and Christian (love those!).After reading Fifty Shades Freed, I kept trying to decide which of the three books I loved best. After thoughtful deliberation, I honestly could not come up with a favorite because I love them ALL. So much so that gray may be my new favorite color. Kidding… sort of.

I really wanted to love this book. When I read Fifty Shades of Grey I was mesmerized – I’d never read anything like it. The story stuck with me for days, and I immediately bought the second book and it was much the same thing. There were little hints of things that bothered me in the second book – I have a pretty visceral reaction to people in a relationship using the words “let” (as in “he let me go out”) and the second book was peppered with these. In the first book, Christian was a Dom, and I expected that from him. In the second book Christian had ostensibly let go of that life, and was struggling to let go of his issues with control. In this book, he seemed to me to be just an insecure overbearing asshole, who used sex to distract Ana and get her to do what he wanted. You know how in some cultures they say they put women on a pedestal, which amounts to stripping them of the ability to express an opinion, to have a say, to be told what’s going on and eventually they can’t leave the house? That’s what Christian reminded me of. “Oh, I’m so worried about you, I love you so much, I can’t bear to have you out of my sight, don’t go to work, it’s because I love you so much, you are my whole world, and if you do I’ll buy the company and bankrupt it so you won’t have a job to go to. But it’s because I love you so much and I’m so afraid something will happen to you.” Shudders. I just wasn’t ok with it in this book.Fifty’s possessiveness, aggressiveness and control issues were getting pretty old by the middle of this story. Watching Ana run around constantly trying to discern if he was angry with her, and changing her behaviour to fit his moods was much worse in this book than the second — what was vaguely unsettling in Fifty Shades Darker became downright disturbing in Fifty Shades Freed. I should do a Kindle search for “please don’t be mad at me”. Together with “Holy Fuck” and “I love this man” they make up a good portion of the book.The epilogue and the HEA were nice, but I felt like it could easily have been an add-on to the second book and we could have skipped this one entirely.

It is so rare to come across a romance series that moves you the way this one does. It will be on my “favorite” shelf for years to come, and I cannot suggest it highly enough if you are a diehard romance fan who loves emotional, raw, character-driven storytelling. This trilogy has fifty fun shades of kink, but I encourage you to look under the surface and discover and appreciate the beauty in the trenches as well. When you get a glimpse of the real essence of this story, the fantastic sex scenes are just icing on the cake in the grand scheme of things.
