    When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

    What made the experience of listening to Fifty Shades of Grey the most enjoyable?

    I loved the end.


    What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

    Her depth of feeling and ability to make you hear the feeling and anguish of the characters.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The Hospital, when Christian was so worried about the baby and her realizing that he did truly care.


    Any additional comments?

    I truly hope there is going to be a 4th!

    Would you consider the audio edition of Fifty Shades Freed to be better than the print version?

    It is a close match up. This book is something that you can get carried away in if you are willing to let yourself.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    It would have to be Anastasia. She is a complete character with very unexpected behavior and reactions at every turn. I LOVED her battles with her subconsciousness and her inner goddess!!


    Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have not but I would be interested in hearing them. She is very good.


    Any additional comments?

    This is such a great book, you can get carried away and really feel like you know the characters.
