Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future.

Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.

Awesome....Just Totally Awesome....!!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was totally awesome. It was one that I just couldn't put down. The narrator was totally awesome....she made the characters just come to life. This book can make you blush, make you mad, make you just bust out laughing and just totally captivate you. I loved it and I have already read: Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed...which are also totally awesome....when done with all of them you are still left wanting more...Loved it, loved it....a Must Read....You won't be disappointed.

What did you like best about this story?

All of it....It all comes together so well to make a great story.

What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

She is totally awesome.....She makes the characters come to life. Her expressions would just make you burst out laughing because you could mentally just see the character as she was saying it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think when they both realized that they both wanted each other it was game on and from there it was just awesome....

Any additional comments?

This is a MUST READ....

Great Performance by reader.

What did you love best about Fifty Shades Freed?

I thought that the reader expressed every emotion possible to bring this book out.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The author could have done more with this book to really make it her own but didn't. There are far too many similarities with the Twlight series and as a fan of that series I wasn't happy to read basically a copy.

What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought that the reader expressed every emotion possible to bring this book out.

Being a part of.

I loved the book and the audible.It was like being in every scene and being a part of the story.Thank you very much.

whole picture

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

I have not read the print version.

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

When she told him she was pregeant. They had not been married long enough to really learn each other. Their saving grace was how they talked the problems out that they had.

Which character – as performed by Becca Battoe – was your favorite?

Christian as a child. This gave a whole new insight to the troubled young man.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Most moving was when Christian would give insights to his life. They spoke of a troubled young man, who, despite those troubles, turned into a upstanding business man.

Any additional comments?

I think the entire series is outstanding. Many people do not the the stories within the story. They only see the S & M side of it. This is a beautiful love story and shows the growth of both main characters. As a couple, they balance each other in mind and spirit.

loved it

it was absolutely awesome I had a hard time putting it down and now that I'm finished I find myself wishing there was more

I WANT MORE!!!

When I started this series I honestly thought that I would hate it. I thought it would be nothing but smut & trash. I was so very wrong, this was the most beautiful story of unconditional love, commitment, & the melding of two totally opposite worlds into one. I was utterly spellbound & thoroughly impressed beyond all expectations.

It was great!!

I hope there are more books to come! I could not put this book down for the life of me!

A Great Romance Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I already have. I let them know that the love scenes are very discriptive. For the most part we have all experienced loving relationships with very funny moments. You know those moments that last forever.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked that the characters had real issues.

What about Becca Battoe’s performance did you like?

I liked the voices that she had for each character and her pace.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when they had to confront the pregnancy issue. I don't want to give too much away. However, this is a topic that can be hard to tackle in any relationship.

Any additional comments?

I love this series. It is about romance. As I read the series, I reminisced on my own relationship with my husband. I believe that we all have that special someone that was put here for us and this series was a great reflection for me of the 16 great years of romance from my man. Ladies, if your man hasn't made you feel like you was his reason for living, I recommend that you keep on looking.

The s.x scenes were descriptive but needed so that the reader would have a true understanding of both characters and how their relationship developed. You can always fast forward or skip this part if it is too much for you. I like that the book had so many underlying discussion on topics such as safe s.x, a man being worthy of having to the woman, a man opening the car door, an unplanned pregnancy, a woman following her dreams. etc.,,

I loved the different twist and turns in the storyline. I liked the ending very much. Hearing what he was thinking when they meet made me listen to the story several more times trying to see his perspective. The author should think about writing a book 4 continuing with his perspective. I would read it!!!

Amazing!

I love this book. It's my 4th time reading it and I never get enough. Becca did an amazing job narrating!

Great book, and a great and plesant job by Becca.

Becca Battoe does a pleasant, very well job of telling the story. Very enjoyable listen.
