Awesome!!!!!

I loved this book couldn't put it down. Anna is having a hard time now that she & Christian broke up. Christian emails her about Jose's art show and offers her a ride and she accepts. Christian proposes a new contract to Anna because he wants her back. Anna feels very uncomfortable with Jack her new boss and Christian doesn't trust him especially when he wants Anna to go to New York with him for a meeting. Christian is scared that Leila one of his ex submissives may want to hurt Anna, so he hires extra security with the hope of finding her and getting her help. Anna gets a promotion at work when Jack is forced to leave his job, but Anna wonders if Christian had something todo with it. After a scary incident coming back from a meeting in his helicopter, Christian makes an announcement on his birthday party that leaves all the guests in shocked.

Hopelessly Addicted!

Once again, this amazing thought provoking, tantalizing story of Mr. Christian Grey and Anastasia Steel have me glued to my ear buds as the perfect narrator Becca Battoe brings this story to life. I am a professional voice actress and audiobook narrator myself and found her performance to be the absolute best! She is the voice of Anastasia Steel and no one could have done a better job!

Fantastic narration of a great book.

The story is great, and Becca Battoe does amazing! Becca really brings the words to life and E. L. James makes you feel like you're right there with the characters.

Story is fine...but the narrator is not very good

In my humble opinion, the book needed a different narrator. There are narrators that can pull off voices of the opposite sex, but Battoe is not one of them. Her female character voices are good, but the male voice are completely cringe-worthy. If I had the time to sit and read, I would read rather than listen. Great narrators are rare, so I try to take the ones I don't care for with a grain of salt.

The storyline is fine, even if the writing isn't top notch. I'm not here to read Hemingway or Faulkner. It's the steamy stuff that I'm here for, and James delivers it.
