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.

Love - Love - Love!!!

Romance ... drama ... humor - all the makings of a great story. Add in Becca Battoe's narration, and you've got a book you'll want to listen to over and over again.

Great story but bad narrator for male characters.

Would you try another book from E L James and/or Becca Battoe?

I love the story so yes i would be another book from E L James.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fifty Shades Darker?

How much Christian grow as a character.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I think Ana's voice improved, however, I can not stand Christian's voice. What's ashamed b/c I love this story.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

The fatal attraction b/c Ana & Christian

Any additional comments?

Please redo with better narrator.
