An exceptional love story...

What did you love best about Fifty Shades Darker?

Despite the common view about this book that it is purely an erotic novel, I deeply feel this is such a noble love story...Enjoy !!!!!!

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

The way a supposedly dominant guy like Christian Gray had converted into a surely decent man simply and purely with the impact of love...
The way he proposed and the way she said yes were quite impressive...

Any additional comments?

HIGHLY recommended...
