Product description

Synopsis
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever. When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too-but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success-his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family-Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Good books that most women will enjoy. Worth the price I paid.

Bought these books because of all the attention on TV that the series got. Quite an attention-holding story. Each book continued the love story. Not all that different from other love stories, except for the sex story line. All in all, I enjoyed the books, but they were not as triple X-rated as I thought they would be. Worth the price I paid, and I am going to put them back on e-bay for someone else to enjoy.

This book was phenomenal. I see a lot of bad reviews for the book because the sex scene and the overuse of some words, but the book is much deeper than that. Yes, there are sex scenes at every chapter (x3) however, when you get down to it, you can feel the attraction that Christian and Ana have for one another, an attraction that seems like could never work. This book is a story of a man and a women who are clearly two very different people who want it so bad to work between them. Christian can help Ana in many ways she never imagined, and Ana can help Christian get over or move forward from the dark place in which he lies. The ending will MAKE you want to get the other books... Therefore, think beyond the sexual scenes and the overuse of "inner goddess". There is much more to this book than that. A++++++++

Great series of books. You can't put them down. Interesting to say the least. They keep you wanting to see what happens next. Make sure you get all three at once because you won't want to wait after you read one to go looking for the next book.

This was so engaging I have since bought the remaining in the series!

I admit I bought it because there was so much buzz about it and the library had me on hold at number 134 which was ridiculous so I thought I would buy it.

I really enjoyed the book and feel it was more of a love story than anything else and in fact was so drawn in with Ana and Grey's relationship I have since bought the other 2 to complete the trilogy and find out what happens next!!

I think a lot of people thought it would be a book primarily of eroticism but I didn't find it that way and found an actual engaging story emerging so I was pleasantly surprised in reading the book and am glad I purchased it and am actually awaiting book 2 and 3!

Wow...what can I say? The trilogy was epic! The first book was the beginning of a relationship, with a dark, sexual side. The second book is the making of a love story and the third is full of action. Can't wait for the movie! This is the second time through reading the trilogy...
