Publisher's summary

Please note: This audiobook contains graphic adult content

Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, the Fifty Shades trilogy will obsess you, possess you and stay with you forever.

When Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged entrepreneur Christian Grey, it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them had anticipated. Ana must learn to share Grey's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity or independence; and Grey must overcome his compulsion to control and lay to rest the horrors that still haunt him.

Now, finally together, they have love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of infinite possibilities. But just when it seems that they really do have it all, tragedy and fate combine to make Ana's worst nightmares come true....

Loved

The end to this wonderful trilogy. It was just as explosive as the rest of the books. We still have Christian struggling with his past and his issues with trust and jealousy. We still have Anna being independent and stubborn. Will love prevail? Loved loved loved.

wanted more

still liked the story but wanted more i found it jumped around without finishing the thoughts of the author would have liked more detailed towards the end of the book i think we needed a forth book and although e l James has left us wondering if there will be a further book i would like to know what type of father christian turned out like

Awesome erotic and sexy

it was great I loved it I'm sure I'm going to read it over again and again

Love, Love, Love this trilogy.

Would you listen to Fifty Shades Freed again? Why?

I've listened to this trilogy many times and get something new out of it every time.

What did you like best about this story?

The love was uppermost in Christian and Ana then the great sex came second.

What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She bought the characters alive.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A love story with "more".

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the film. Just hope that the film makers keep it true to the books.

Read in print but still got it in audible, LOVE IT

Would you listen to Fifty Shades Freed again? Why?

Yes i would and actually have, firstly I absolutely loved the book,and secondly i find it so relaxing sitting listening to it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Christian Grey is my favourite character.
why because right from the start you feel for him as you know he is very troubled and you just wish you could do something to help him.

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

no this is my first time

If you could take any character from Fifty Shades Freed out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Christian Grey, because of the empathy you feel for him, and i would be the envy of every woman who has read the book.

Any additional comments?

i would really like to read a book from his point of view now, just to explain how he felt about it all.

Not for the prudish!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend this book as a light hearted read on a romantic or relaxing holiday.
Raunchy novel that concludes the trilogy, but you need to finish all three books or the first two books are empty and you are left hanging. I feel the three books would be much better condensed into one book - with less repetitive sex scenes. The sex scenes are very explicit and can make you blush initially, but by the end of the first book they become annoying to listen to and were a little "same old same old". Anna and Christian seemed oversexed and I was tempted to skip past the sex scenes to get to the main story line which was vague until the very end. This book is not for a child's ears.
Repetitive use of certain vocabulary and adjectives and some words get annoying by the end of the three books.
The narrators voice of main character "Anna" took a little getting used to, however it grew on you by the end of the trilogy.

Would you recommend Fifty Shades Freed to your friends? Why or why not?

If you start the trilogy you need to finish all tree books to get the benefit of the plot. The books are great for stimulating challenging conversation with close friends or lovers or for stimulating self reflection on our sexual inhibitions and boundaries.

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

This trilogy was the first listen to Becca Battoe's performances.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Initially I was a little shocked about the sexual explicitness, especially in regard to the dominatrix sex scenes.

good story starts to be repetitive

Would you listen to Fifty Shades Freed again? Why?

no

What could E. L. James have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I was keen to continue the story but it started to be repetitive

Did Becca Battoe do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

yes

Enjoyable, however not fabulous

I did enjoy this, the third book of the series . However I found the story a little predictable
& the ending was not satisfying at all. The author seemed to wind up the story out of the blue & left me with many questions. I felt as though there should have been one more book to Finnish the story properly.

Oh Christian!

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

Knowing that Ana was able to bring her '50 Shades' into the light. I had been told that I would need to read all three books to fully understand the story of Ana and Christian and even though it was hard going sometimes I was really pleased that I persisted and read to the end.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fifty Shades Freed?

I really enjoyed the last two chapters when we heard Christians first impressions of Ana - she had him from the start. He was so arrogant - but with this coming at the end of the book it was great to know just how Christian ticked.

What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I have also read the book and I think Becca was able to give the characters more definition.

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

Strangely enough it was the third last chapter when four year old Christian speaks (in his mind) about what life with his new family means to him. Unfortunately this is fiction imitating life. I felt so sad for this little boy who had endured so much.

argh!

PFFFFTTTTTT!!!!!
disappointed, i am not one to stop a book, i just couldn't finish this.............inner goddess or not, it was NOT doing a ma range...........even with music
