Better than book one

What did you like best about Fifty Shades Darker? What did you like least?

I was not planning on reading book two until the last lines of book one. They peaked my curiosity. This book was a little more substantial than the first one.

Truth shows it's ugly head.

If you could sum up Fifty Shades Darker in three words, what would they be?

Love (Most ‎definitely). Truth, and understanding.

What did you like best about this story?

I like how Anna loves Christian unconditionally. Although, he loves her just as much, he has a lot of issues, baggage as Anna puts it in the story, and I don't think even I would trust most of what he says to her at times.

I also like how he finally comes clean with Anna, giving her something more to think about on whether she can trust him to stay devoted to her.I like how he proposes to her, that took not only her by surprise, but me as well.

Also, although it frightened me, I like how he disappeared off radar while flying the Charlie Tango on a business trip. That had me on the edge of my seat waiting along side of Anna and Christian's family as they waited news of his hopeful return.

There are so many scenes that I loved about this story that I"m sure I've missed explaining here.

But I liked how E.L. James ended it with Anna's old boss out to get the sexy Mr. Grey. It makes me dread the wait until I can download the last book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think that would have to be where she gave him the key chain that lite up and gave him the answer that he so longed waited for.

I'm glad that E.L. James didn't give us a glance early on about what she was thinking of giving him for his birthday.Although, there were many favorites to this story, this one was the best...I think. lol.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yessss! Even with my confession of every day life getting in the way of listening or even reading this story, I found myself completely immersed in these two books, and I can't wait to get back to listening to the last book.

Any additional comments?

Only what I said before in my comment of the first book, and that I highly recommend reading or listening to this awesome trilogy.

Shallow story, but good study of human relations

Constant emails were a bore. Anna was a good role model of how to handle difficult people . Her naivete was troublesome but to be expected for a girl her age. Fringe sexual activities were straight out of a sex store. Ended on a note that good can conquer over bad. Entertaining Fairytale overall.
