Deeply Disturbing, Compelling and Completely Addicting
By Kris
I am not into BDSM stories, yet we have to contend that we unequivocally desired this one. This was one of those books that keeps we glued to a pages; staying adult reading into a early morning. we found it to be unequivocally addicting that is unequivocally unfortunate for me.
This is a adore story of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. Christian is such a formidable character. You adore him and hatred him during a same time and it's unequivocally confusing. He's a ultimate alpha male, bad child with a unequivocally dim and unfortunate enterprise to inflict pain. He literally gets off on it. He meets and falls for Anastasia. When they accommodate she is an trusting college tyro and happens to still be a virgin. This is their adore story and a deeply disturbing. Our child Christian has some critical demons and a creation Ana consider prolonged and tough about their relationship. This is not your standard child meets lady let's date and tumble in adore romance. He wants to browbeat her and he wants her submissive. He comes adult with a agreement that he wants her to sign. She's ripped between her adore for him and her fear of him. She wants to know since he is so Fifty Shades of "f'd" up. She wants to get to a bottom of what happened in his past to make him need this form of attribute and since he hates to be touched. He introduces her to a "dark side" of his passionate habits and in his enterprise to keep her and make her happy, tries for a "vanilla relationship" she desires. Will Ana welcome Christian's dim side or will it be some-more than she can handle? The approach he creates adore to her is so erotic, steamy, voluptuous and frightful all during a same time.
I know it does not sound like it, yet there is a genuine adore story there. Ana brings out feelings in Christian that he has never felt with anyone else. As crazy as it sounds, we have a lot of wish for these dual and we am fervent to examination a subsequent installment.

Could not finish
By RiverinaRomantics
1.5 stars
I don't suffer essay bad reviews, overtly it puts a ill feeling in my stomach, yet during a impulse we am feeling too indignant not to write one. So greatfully don't get snarky - we do comprehend we am in a minority with my opinions.
OK, we couldn't finish this book. we tried, holy ruin did we try - yet by 88% we was so indignant we had to put it down.
And after a lot of speculation we have motionless not to diatribe and rave, yet elementary state in indicate form what we didn't like.
~ The essay was too sterile. There was no abyss and we found it tough joining to any of it. There was a whole store of - we overwhelmed him, he overwhelmed me, we did this, he did that. And it wasn't enchanting during all.
When we examination we wish to be means to feel a emotion, not be told how a stage is personification out as if a heroine is indeed an observer.
~ The sex - it wasn't prohibited during all. we wouldn't even systematise it as erotic. For some bizarre reason we have a opinion that we need to be means to impute to your vagina as something some-more amorous than 'down there' before we can lift off a poignant hotness rating.
~ Christian - ok, he was comparatively prohibited yet not adequate to get my blood pumping. He wasn't alpha adequate for me. One impulse he is perplexing to be tough core a subsequent he is panting since she is wearing his underwear.
Now if that was my widespread alpha, he would have given me a cocky smile, licked his lips and gave that 'how we doin' look, But no, he gasped like a small girl.
~ The price....I don't get it. How can a publisher assign this most for a book created so badly??
.....ok, we could go on, we could most write a novel, yet we won't.
I will take my Inner Goddess (seriously if we had to examination that line one some-more time we would have caused self harm) and my find something else to read.

Fifty shades of entertaining!
By Kristin during "Happily Ever After-Reads"
"The usually male I've ever been captivated to, and he comes with a bloody contract, a flogger and a whole universe of issues."
That quote usually about sums adult a problems that heroine Anastasia Steele is adult opposite in FIFTY SHADES OF GREY. Ana is a intimately trusting 21-year-old on a verge of college graduation when she meets drop-dead sexy, 27-year-old multimillionaire business tycoon, Christian Grey. Christian becomes immediately preoccupied by Ana, and starts to pursue her, even yet he invariably warns that he's all wrong for her. As Ana succumbs to a powerhouse that is Christian Grey, it doesn't take her prolonged to comprehend that no man, no matter how unbelievably prohibited he is, is perfect--and Christian is distant from it.
While Christian is a widespread in a business world, he's indeed a "Dom" in a bedroom, and proposes a agreement formed D/s attribute with Ana. Although Christian has had a fibre of these relations (15 to be exact) before assembly Ana, he starts to make it transparent to her by many avenues that she affects him in a new and opposite approach than any other lady he has ever been concerned with. Over a march of Fifty Shades of Grey, Ana starts to chip divided during a hard, difficult outdoor bombard of Christian, forcing him to acknowledge things he's never told anyone, and causing him to mangle many of his possess manners in a process.
Having had an impossibly unfortunate and traumatizing start to life before he was adopted during a age of four, a theme he usually hardly broaches with Ana, Christian carries an unimaginable volume of romantic container that affects how he is in his insinuate relationships.
Although Christian has many issues stemming from romantic mishap as a child, and doesn't unequivocally know how to have a "normal" or what he calls a "vanilla" relationship,
While Christian does some controversial things, is intensely controlling, and has a distracted rage he doesn't seem to know how to enclose during times, we was constantly left with a feeling that underneath all of his baggage, he's a truly decent male in so many ways. He and Ana boundary heads via a story as he lavishes her with costly gifts that she has an impossibly tough time accepting. In fact, his munificence is substantially one of a biggest thorns in their attribute with her not wanting to take advantage of his wealth, and him not bargain since she can't accept what he can so apparently means to buy her. He tends to be overprotective, and jealous, yet even a approach he comes opposite in those situations seem to branch from an honest place of low caring. Being that "caring" is a word not formerly in Christian's vocabulary, he spends a good volume of a story entrance to terms with feelings he's never had for any other lady when it comes to Ana.
Over a march of a book, a dual sell many emails. While a suspicion of dual characters exchanging emails or texts via a story seems like an easy approach to usually fill page space, it was one of a things that done this story unequivocally beguiling for me. Ana and Christian use email to open adult to one another, something both have difficulty doing early on; generally Ana. And a emails in this conditions seem to force them to be honest to any other in their face to face conversations as well.
The emails were also a approach to see another side of Christian, a playful, flirty side that we don't always get to see on page when he's with Ana in person.
Although this book starts out creation we consider it will be complicated on a D/s, as Christian is an heated Dom, looking to start a D/s attribute with Ana, it is indeed unequivocally amiable in that aspect, and unequivocally not what a concentration of a story ends adult being about.
There are a integrate teenager issues we feel we should address. One is that Christian has such a widespread voice and participation in a story, that he seems distant comparison than his given age of 27, not that a 27-year-old male can't be that widespread and sexy, it usually took some-more bid for me to design it. And there are a handful of over used phrases that became a bit trite and a few British terms and phrases that usually didn't fit with a "American" environment (the author is British).
I've examination many incompatible reviews about this book and it seems people possibly adore it or hatred it since of a approach it's created or a fact that a author creatively published it as a Fan Fiction story, etc. But any issues we had were ignored simply adequate interjection to a tract that, either picturesque to some or not, kept my seductiveness from page to page so most that we literally couldn't put my Kindle down or stop meditative about a story when we wasn't reading, and we consider we credit that to a impression of Christian. He's such an heated participation in each singular scene, that we fell conduct over heels with him and all of his baggage. we wanted to slap him during times and cuddle him during others...a feeling Ana is constantly faced with via a story.
The finish of this story was so heated and angsty (a vital PLUS for me since we LOVE angst) that we was in tears by a end. Just a warning, however, we would have been intensely indignant during a absurd cliffhanger if we didn't have a second book already watchful for me to read. So we advise carrying book 2, FIFTY SHADES DARKER already in your possession before finishing book this book.
Even yet we contend this story ends adult being reduction about D/s than we had creatively suspicion it would be, FIFTY SHADES OF GREY does enclose a few scenes that a lightsome competence not enjoy, yet overall, if you're a fan of say, Maya Banks' Sweet series, we should have no problem with this story. we could simply see myself reading it again or during slightest browsing by my many pages of bookmarks!
I gave FIFTY SHADES OF GREY 4.5 Stars and 4 panties on a blog.
