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.

Story is wonderful.

I have really enjoyed the storyline but I feel the young lady who delivered the words was horrible. I have the first book and read it and wanted to finish the story but now I am unsure because of her performance. It is very unbelievable. Now take the guy who does the Odd books, he does a great job.
Thank you for your time.

Love the Fifty Shades books

What made the experience of listening to Fifty Shades Darker the most enjoyable?

I love audible books and became addicted to this story line. I love that Anna and Chrisitan now have a real romance and the truth is beginning to set them free. Can't wait to read fifty shades freed!

great listen

I listen to books everyday because of my far commute. Because Battoe has a great voice and following the story is easy she is not dry like other readers!

one of the best books I've read recently!!

One of the best, most well written books I've read. I find myself emotionally moved and attatched to this series thus far.. I rarely read a book twice, or buy a hard copy...but this trilogy will have a physical home in my bookshelves.

Under rates!

So people call this “mommy porn” it’s not really, yes there is a lot of sex however if you get past that aspect. Especially if you get to the second and third the love story behind it is truly beautiful. I love the books I’ve read and listen many times and I just skip through past the sex scenes I wouldn’t recommend doing so if you have never heard or read the book before.
