Storyline ok, sex scenes graphic

Would rather have more of a plot, less redundant graphic sex scenes, less letters back and forth between Mr. Gray ... And Miss A Steel...

Great books

I have read and or listened to them many times. I enjoy the journey. It is a journey. Rebecca needs to learn how to pronounce the words. On some she was dead wrong. Overall she did a great job. Thank you for the gift of writing the story.

Better than expected!

I read so many bad review of this narrator and I was pleasantly surprised. I reaaly liked the narration with the exception of José. I could understand who was speaking at all times and I didn't cringe at some of the voices so I would definetly recommend. Great story, great narration, great book!

Not bad...

I liked it, as it reminds me of the Twilight Saga sans supernatural references. I watched the first movie to see what all the fuss was about and found that I couldn't wait for the second film to release. I didn't think I could read the physical book, it's written like speech and had a few grammatical flaws. Which is why i opted for the audio books. The performance of the voice actor however, I prefer the Harry Potter audio book voice over this...Becca Battoe kinda sucked...

Finished the Trilogy in 3 Weeks

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

Absolutely, and have to many. Will they get as addicted to the story as I did? Don't know. But I could not stop listening. I had to get to the end of the story, and I loved it.

What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

Sorry folks, I hear a lot of bad mouthing. But I liked it really.

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

Point Well Made Ms. Steel
