Look for E L James’s passionate new love story, The Mister, available now.

Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.

But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

Not just lady porn.

I was surprised when I read the book. It is not just lady porn but has some deep emotional plots and you get to see under Christian's skin and see a bit of what makes him tic. You also see the profound effect that Anna has on him and his proclivities. Good read. Better than the movie.

Looking forward to more!

GREAT narrator-Becca Battoe nails it! Great story! Just started with audible, driving A LOT for work, and now looking forward to long drives, and losing interest in TV compared to this. LOVE IT! Bring on the 3rd book!

I liked this part the best, resolution!

Would you consider the audio edition of Fifty Shades Darker to be better than the print version?

Quit the email data. It gets so exhausting to listen to. It would have been so much better had it not been done that way.

What other book might you compare Fifty Shades Darker to and why?

No answer

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

No and will not chose to.

Yes
