by E L James

E L James' best-selling trilogy is now available as an audiobook collection. This three-story compilation includes:  

Fifty Shades of Grey
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.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

Fifty Shades Darker
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.

Fifty Shades Freed
When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian’s singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees.
 
Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. 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.

Reviews

I blame the fact that TMN was airing the first movie every day and commercials for the second movie were on constantly that I finally tried to read these books. So bad. So very, very bad. I couldn’t even get through the third book. If this were good BDSM, that would have been fine. I’ve read good BDSM, this was not it.

Even if you get past the Twilight fan fiction part of things, Christian was just a jerk who liked to beat women who looked like his mother. It wasn’t about sex, it wasn’t about getting aroused by his partner’s arousal from the pain. If he hadn’t been a billionaire, this never would have been published, let alone become a book trilogy that became a movie trilogy. And I don’t like what that says about people. It needed well written sex and an actual plot. Sadly, none of the books had either.

See this review and others on my blog.

The book has a great hook. It will keep you reading despite your feeling about the lifestyle that Christian Grey has chosen to live. The worst part about the book is the writing or stylistic choices of the author. I understand that Anastasia is a young woman without much experience in the world, however, she is well read as a communications and/or english major. At least that is the illusion the author seems to want to give the reader with her multiple references to [b:Tess of the D'Urbervilles|32261|Tess of the D'Urbervilles |Thomas Hardy|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311647517s/32261.jpg|3331021]. When she's shocked/amazed/upset about anything she thinks/says the two same phrases over and over again (Holy Sh** and Holy F***). After awhile it was hard to be shocked/amazed/upset about anything Anastasia was feeling because it was the same thoughts over and over again.
