The relationship evolves even further and is at times very sweet. The wedding--well, a flash back. My SO had said that she wish they went into detail about the wedding, you know dress, planning, ect.-- the honeymoon, when the "honeymoon ends..." Especially knowing, that Ana has given her heart to a very "fucked" up Mr. Grey & takes a chance.... Remember, it's fiction.... Would anyone else have this much faith? Don't know.... but that's why we read fiction.... for the "What if's" in life.It ends as it should. But, it's still a little "choppy", just.... maybe a bit too hurried? I'm not sure.

Honestly I've heard a hard time getting "into" this book as it is slow, And really just a repeat of the first and second. We get glimpses into why Christian is the way that he is as he finally opens up to Ana about his childhood but that's basically all that is different. Everything is just a rehash of what happened in the previous books, Ana bites her lip, she drives Christian mad with desire, gratuitous sex scene that's not really all that erotic. End scene with cuddling. Rinse and repeat.

I will admit when my SO was reading them that It boosted our sex life a little bit. Just because she wanted to try new things based off of what she was reading. And she was always reading so it would turn her on. As for me I felt it lacked what a good erotica should, but I don't know maybe that’s again, just me.

What was a welcome surprise is epilogue at the end, Fifty Shades of Christian, where we get to experience parts of his courtship of Ana through his eyes. Which was defiantly interesting, but it is a little bit like "Midnight Sun" by Stephanie Meyer, which was never finished. (Twilight from Edward's point of view.)

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I feel like this Trilogy really could have been one longgg (sic) book.

Although some people are totally against this, I am glad that I have this on our book shelf. This is still my least favorite of them all but we had to have them all.
