Publisher's summary

E L James revisits the world of Fifty Shades with a deeper and darker take on the love story that has enthralled millions of fans around the globe.

Their scorching, sensual affair ended in heartbreak and recrimination, but Christian Grey cannot get Anastasia Steele out of his mind, or his blood. Determined to win her back, he tries to suppress his darkest desires and his need for complete control, and to love Ana on her own terms.

But the horrors of his childhood still haunt him, and Ana's scheming boss, Jack Hyde, clearly wants her for himself. Can Christian's confidant and therapist, Dr. Flynn, help him face down his demons? Or will the possessiveness of Elena, his seducer, and the deranged devotion of Leila, his former submissive, drag Christian down into the past?

And if Christian does win Ana back, can a man so dark and damaged ever hope to keep her?

Everything's perfect except

It's my first time listening to an audiobook and I was wondering if Anna's voice could actually be replaced with an actual girl's voice because while I was listening this whole time, whenever Anna's talking, it feels like Christian is talking to a man and it's so hilarious to me. Nothing wrong with it, just made some intense scene a little funnier than intended. Overall, the storyline is great. Highly recommended!

captivating

I still love the way the that the characters change in the book by the narrators voice, amazes me. Loved that I could here the story from Christians perspective, had so search for all the songs mentioned in the story to set the mood based on the singers chosen and I love that so much detail is poured into the atmosphere, could not stop listening. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed

Of course the Trilogy in itself is so good but I also love getting the other side to a story and Christian’s versions fill in all the gaps. Being able to get into his thoughts,his dreams and his emotions helps you feel when and why he found his way to light of love. I really enjoy Zachary Webber’s reading, he really allows us to feel the characters like a movie in our ears, his sounds of ooos and ahhs doesn’t seem awkward and puts you right there in each moment.

Sexy love story

Christian will do anything to get Ana back and keep her in his life, even stop his alternative tastes.

While this was a predictable and cheesy love story, with a bunch of sex scenes described in great detail, I liked it. It was cute and sweet and appeals to the romantic in me.

The narrator was very good with excellent intonation, tempo, energy and changes to each depending on the requirements of the scene. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
