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.

Maggie P.

I had reviewed this Audiobook about two years ago. I just enjoy listening to it every chance I get. It’s fascinating and filled with anticipation as well as intrigue.
I love the relationship between Ana and Christian. Their dynamic is fantastic as well as dark. The way they work together to form a long lasting relationship.

Great book to listen to. I will be listening to the final chapter soon.

Captivating

The story is so well done but I just wish the male voice was a little more like a male, maybe there could be two narrators.

Too Neady

So this book I felt Christian was too demanding and needing. But at the same time Becca Battoe did her best as Anastasia and Christian, but I didn't feel connected with her narration. I believe E.L. James can do better than this book for Christian and Anastasia.

The fun continues!!

Thanks to Becca Battoe’s lovely and lively narration, the hilarious writing makes for an entertaining listen. The sex never stops, and how glorious (and ridiculous) it is! Time to go and finish the trilogy!
